The first book in the Demon Princess Magical Chaos series<\/a> (The Tentacle Awakens<\/em>) resembles both Kumodesuga<\/a> and Neta Character Tensei<\/a>. The protagonist is sort of like the former’s (which is good) while her ‘main’ love interest is sort of like the latter’s (which is bad).<\/p>\n

That second part ends up important as a result of the inexplicable modern-day idol industry subplot. Why was that included? Are reincarnations\/isekai’d travelers going be introduced down the line? Just bizarre.<\/p>\n

Apart from the ill-fitting idol elements the only other complaint I can really level is that the protagonists’ backstories are a bit too melodramatic.
