The Prince Has All Kinds of Strange Hobbies

His Royal Highness the prince is a gentleman. He has all kinds of strange hobbies. For example: He likes to sneakily lay down on the ground when nobody is paying attention and enjoy the fresh air, all with a blissful look on his face. He loves all sorts of soft things to the point when he even slightly touches one, he looks like he could melt into a puddle. Meanwhile, he secretly collects various kinds of cute things (black lace panties with a cat tail, bras with a little pink bell, fuzzy bunny ears, etc.), and in the middle of the night when nobody is around, he’ll take out his collection of treasures and slowly admire them. Because he isn’t that old (not really), occasionally he will express some chuunibyou. Our prince truly is a mysterious young man. Oh right, I almost forgot the most important thing — He likes this witch. A testimonial from the witch: “That bastard kneels on the ground for no reason whatsoever and rubs his face against my butt, and from time to time he makes sneak attacks with his dirty hands! …What?! Y-You want me to wear this neko outfit?! Please go die!!“

## My Thoughts on The Prince Has All Kinds of Strange Hobbies "The Prince Has All Kinds of Strange Hobbies" certainly sparked a range of reactions, and diving into the currently translated chapters has been quite the experience. The novel, tagged as comedy, fantasy, mystery, romance, and shoujo, promises a quirky adventure with a possessive male lead. However, the initial chapters seem to have left some readers feeling uneasy. ### First Impressions My first impression was definitely… complicated. The premise of a clingy, yandere prince in a fantasy world intrigued me. However, I can see why some readers are put off by the prince's initial actions. His immediate infatuation and forceful attempts to secure a marriage contract are certainly not everyone's cup of tea. The line between "possessive" and downright problematic seems blurred early on. ### What Works Well Despite the initial shock factor, the story does have some redeeming qualities. Several readers pointed out the potential for humor, and I can see glimpses of it peeking through. The female lead's reactions to the prince's antics are sometimes genuinely funny, and the "childish" writing style, as one reader described it, can be endearing. Also, the promise of character growth and a more engaging plot further down the line is enticing. The world-building, though not fully explored in the translated chapters, seems to hold potential. ### Areas of Concern The biggest issue, and the one that seems to be the most divisive, is the prince's behavior. The initial chapters portray him as incredibly forceful, bordering on non-consensual. While some readers might be able to look past this as part of his "yandere" persona, others find it deeply disturbing. This is a valid concern, and it's important for potential readers to be aware of this aspect before diving in. I think it's crucial that the story addresses these problematic elements and shows genuine character development for the prince. ### Final Verdict "The Prince Has All Kinds of Strange Hobbies" is a novel with a lot of potential, but it's definitely not for everyone. If you're easily turned off by forceful male leads and questionable consent, you might want to steer clear. However, if you're willing to give it a chance and see how the story develops, you might find yourself enjoying the humor and the quirky world. Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic and hoping that the later chapters deliver on the promise of character growth and a more engaging plot.
