## My Thoughts on The Disqualified Prince’s Conquest of the Inner Palace the Prince With No Magic Power Takes the Throne With the Royal Consort of Inner Palace on His Side Okay, that title is a mouthful, isn't it? When I first stumbled upon "The Disqualified Prince’s Conquest of the Inner Palace the Prince With No Magic Power Takes the Throne With the Royal Consort of Inner Palace on His Side" (I'm just going to call it "Disqualified Prince" from now on), I was immediately intrigued. The premise of a prince overcoming his lack of magic with cunning and the help of a royal consort sounded like a fun, politically charged fantasy romp. However, diving in, I found myself with some mixed feelings. ### First Impressions The initial chapters definitely grab your attention. The world-building is decent, and the setup of a prince considered "disqualified" due to his lack of magical ability immediately creates a sympathetic protagonist. I was eager to see how Schwarz (the prince) would navigate the treacherous inner palace and prove his worth. ### What Works Well The political intrigue is definitely a strong point. The complex family relationships and power struggles within the royal court kept me engaged. Schwarz is portrayed as a charismatic and cunning protagonist, which makes his rise to power believable, even in the face of adversity. The action and adventure elements are well-integrated, providing a good balance to the more strategic aspects of the story. I also appreciate the inclusion of demi-humans, adding another layer of depth to the world. ### Areas of Concern Here's where things get a little tricky. I was a little taken aback by the protagonist's behavior. I feel as though his actions and interactions with women are questionable. I found myself somewhat uncomfortable with some of the power dynamics at play, particularly regarding consent. ### Final Verdict "Disqualified Prince" has the potential to be a truly engaging fantasy story, and the political intrigue and world-building are definitely strengths. However, potential readers should be aware of the problematic elements present within the story. While the plot itself is captivating, the protagonist's actions may be a significant deterrent for some. Ultimately, whether you enjoy this novel will depend on your tolerance for these themes. Proceed with caution.
