For the Honor of My Princess

I’m not so much concerned with the choices themselves as I am with the dilemma faced by Lady Margaret between her knighthood and the princess. The conflict is engaging, and the choices themselves, for the most part, serve their function. I find this to be because I found that most are generally informed by the theme of allegiance/devotion. However, the narrative would have been strengthened if my playthrough had included a flashback sequence featuring Lady Margaret and the princess, similar to the one we received concerning her knighthood (I’m unsure if these are locked behind choices). This would have provided more of an effective balance to Lady Margaret’s internal conflict. That said, I did enjoy this story nonetheless 🙂

The romance in this story was overpowered by backstory and details. I felt as though the choices didn’t have stakes, and that the actual romance part was very rushed at the end. In fairness, this is a genre I’ve crafted in a professional capacity, so ky standards are sky-high. Men writing a lesbian love story is often a turnoff to women, on its face…more attention to relationship building and emotion could mitigate this.

While listening to this story I found myself checking my phone quite a few times – indication that the story was not too engaging to me. The narrator does a phenomenal job, really smooth performance but I cared not about the characters.

It was a fun story on historical romance. The only thing is I wish the choices had more weight. But I love the plot of this story.

Not my usual cup of tea, but I think it’s a pretty good story in its genre, made a bit fresher by both love interests being women.

My only problem is that it didn’t seem to have any meaningful choices. I don’t know if any of them impacted the story at all.
