← Previous revision Revision as of 00:29, 18 April 2026 Line 11: Line 11: The series began as a self-published [[web novel]] by Piero Karasu on the website [[Shōsetsuka ni Narō]], under a different title: {{Nihongo|''The Reincarnated Princess Continues to Long for Magic''|転生王女様は魔法に憧れ続けている|Tensei Ōjo-sama wa Mahō ni Akogare Tsuzuketeiru}}.<ref name="akiba-ln">{{Cite web |date=January 19, 2020 |title=転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 「天真爛漫王女×クール令嬢の王宮百合ファンタジー!」 |url=https://akibablog.blog.jp/archives/51597155.html |access-date=2026-04-14 |website=Akiba Blog}}</ref> From the story's outset, Karasu wanted to break from genre conventions that were present in other [[isekai]] web novels. While other stories left their main character's personality largely unchanged after their reincarnation, Karasu limited the continuity between Anisphia's past and new life to only a few retained memories. Rainie was also designed as a subversion of the villainess archetype; despite her antagonistic position at the start of the story, she was written to be more sympathetic by being unaware of her role in Algard and Euphyllia's broken engagement.<ref name="megami">{{cite magazine |date=2023-02-28 |title=転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 |issue=4 #275 |pages=22-33 |magazine=[[Megami Magazine]] |location=Japan |publisher=[[Gakken|Gakken Plus]]}}</ref> The series began as a self-published [[web novel]] by Piero Karasu on the website [[Shōsetsuka ni Narō]], under a different title: {{Nihongo|''The Reincarnated Princess Continues to Long for Magic''|転生王女様は魔法に憧れ続けている|Tensei Ōjo-sama wa Mahō ni Akogare Tsuzuketeiru}}.<ref name="akiba-ln">{{Cite web |date=January 19, 2020 |title=転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 「天真爛漫王女×クール令嬢の王宮百合ファンタジー!」 |url=https://akibablog.blog.jp/archives/51597155.html |access-date=2026-04-14 |website=Akiba Blog}}</ref> From the story's outset, Karasu wanted to break from genre conventions that were present in other [[isekai]] web novels.
