There are a few shoujo titles that are... shallow. They lack character depth, world building or plot beyond the romance, and even that can be pro forma. This story started surprising me by actually acknowledging the Cinderella roots, then actually had the (probable) ML have a personality beyond handsome prince or cold duke. I was impressed!
A Cinderella story with magic and a girl finding her power and place in the world. I originally saw this somewhere as a novel but was happy there was a manga version! Cannot wait to read the next volume!
