Who Made Me a Princess Vol. 1 (Who Made Me a Princess)

The story of Athanasia, forsaken princess of the Obelian Empire, ends with her execution at the hands of her own father--or does it? Her tragic tale is the plot of the novel The Lovely Princess. But now, a modern woman who read the book has just woken up as baby Athanasia herself, filled with her own memories and knowledge of the story she's stuck in! Determined to survive her doomed fate, infant Athanasia embarks on this new life with a plan: avoid attention and hoard valuables to fund her escape. When her plan goes awry, she suddenly needs to charm her way into the good graces of her father, the beautiful tyrant emperor, so he doesn't kill her again!

Summary:

We've heard the story before: one day, a girl wakes up in a body that isn't hers. Only, now it sort of is. This time, the girl's name is Athanasia, and she will have a lot of trouble staying alive if the book she read (in her past life) is any indication.

You see, she may be the daughter of a king, but he's a brutal and violent king. Her best option is to run away before he sets his sights on her. As for a backup plan to make her fall in love with her adorable little self!

Review:

I started reading Who Made Me a Princess on Tapas a while ago, but I lost my place when the app was updated, so I took a break. Now that I’ve realized there’s a printed version of the series, I’m back! So let’s begin again with Who Made Me a Princess Vol. 1.

This is one of many (MANY) isekai available on the site, but it’s still one of my favorites. Unlike many series where the main character wakes up in the body of a much younger character, Who Made Me a Princess seems content to continue at a slow pace.

As such, we get to continue seeing adorable little Athy, and I love her. Naturally, Athy is terrified that her father will kill her, as he did in the books she read. However, she’s already (unintentionally) thwarted one horrible twist by putting that cute little face in front of him.

Yes, this series does lean on a lot of common isekai tropes. No, I don’t mind. While I don’t love the king/father figure (obviously, he’s a child murderer), I love all the other characters in this world. I can’t wait to see how it evolves from here.

Highlights:
Isekai
Manwha
Originally on Tapas
Historical Fantasy

Trigger Warnings:

Will I continue the series? Yes!
