Rocks on Dear Tyrant
🏅
Time to get a penitentiary law lesson. Yes, you are overjoyed, I see. No need to thank me. I live to harass serve.
Most penitentiary systems do know some kind of solitary confinement measure. Out of necessity, they say, if the prisoner is dangerous for others or particularly unruly. Some, due to peculiar forms of organized crime, even utilize it to restrict the flow of information from the jailed kingpins to the surviving external organization.
Here's the kicker: however necessary, it is torture. That's not hyperbole. It's comparable to physical torture, but for the mind. It causes hallucinations, an untold amount of anguish and pain, it literally makes people go mad in no time. Science says so.
Whoever wrote this understood that. So they took a general trope, the "scheming underdog princess" one, and then they fuc*** the already not exceptionaly bright ML's mind so realistically and so thoroughly that the main obstacle to her winning is not even the antagonist. It's Tristan's absolutely wrecked psyche.
It's not about being a "yandere". It's not even normal trauma. It's a DSM case study for the ages. That is to say, the characterization in this is superb. It's engaging. From her desperate struggle for freedom, to the antagonist's wretchedly coherent and incredibly abhorrent personality, to Tristan's... hellscape of a brain. Everything about it is great. If the translation was up to quality, it would've been a joy to read.
Add to that an untarnished quality of the art, which is notably shiny, and you get a frustrating but undoubtedly stellar work of fiction. Frustrating not out of incompetence, but for the gnarly compromises needed of FL's position. I usually wait for more chapters, but I think I can judge it right now.
Absolutely reccomended, with a GAI too. (Grand Accolade of Ivern)
