ARC Copy...Judging by the very long title and the Isekai style/reincarnation story, I very much suspect this may or may not been light novel series at one point in time. Although the magic system is on point...time will if series will be good or not.

I think the story for this title was fine. It wasn't unique. A man is murdered and reincarnated into a stronger magical person and excels. For some reason the main character was weirdly feminine and had a really strange outfit that included shorts and long socks. It just looked weird on the page for the type of character they were trying to portray him as. They also included an unnecessary bath scene where a room of naked maids were bathing the naked reincarnated prince. This took up about five pages for some reason. Also the girls were drawn extremely busty with really tight clothing. Weirdly inappropriate.

I loved the illustrations and the adventure type of narrative this one had. Prince Lloyd is so cute and his curiosity is so pure. This was a well-written manga with cute and funny characters. I would definitely want to read the next volume.

I’d like to thank NetGalley and Kodansha for my advance review copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

From the title alone, I already knew this was going to be an isekai manga. I was not disappointed! The world building and magic system is fun, and each new spell revealed was a treat. I also appreciate that the main character is a small child instead of the typical teenage boy in other isekai series, which makes the story more wholesome (I’m not a fan of harem-type subplots, so this was a breather to me). One complaint is that the women are overly sexualized (huge breasts, unnecessary nudity in bathing scenes) which is why I’m deducting a star from my rating.

I’m looking forward to the next volume! 4 stars for me.

I will probably have to use a lot of slang terminology, which I apologize for, but that's how I thought as I read this title.

From the title itself, we actually get enough detailed information about what it is about. The main character is cut from one fantasy world to another, reborn as a small child and, of course, with a little more luck. He used to be very bad at magic, and now he has the opportunity to develop his new talent as a prince. Developing magic is ultimately his dream.
The title didn't particularly win me over. Art is very chibi, with the clear intention of the creators to achieve a kawaii effect. Too many echi elements. You can't feel the characters as characters, at least in this volume there are no indications of such a possibility.
In fact, I didn't expect much, I find it very difficult to like such titles (and I find more and more that the longer the title of the manga, the weaker or unimpressive it tends to be).

The original opinion is in Bulgarian, I apologize for the translation errors. I am adding a link.

Thank you NteGalley for the e-arc manga for an exchange of honest review.

I have read various kind of reincarnation/isekai manga, and this manga there is nothing extraordinary about it, just like tupical isekai manga. I love the artstyle and also love the fighting scene. The storyline is also humourous. It will be such a light reading for those who wanted to kill off some time.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kondasha for the arc

I enjoyed the story and I'm a sucker for these Reincarnation stories. I think if your into overpowered mc then you might like this. I'm fine with the main character being overpowered but I just don't understand how the demon can be so weak? At one point in the story when the demon is disguised as the main character so he can sneak out, his maid does sword training with the demon and he is beaten mercilessly. Though to be fair the maid is also over powered as well which is something I appreciate since she seems to be the only one who can out maneuver the prince.

I also don't think the change of heart the demon has was done well. The prince says that he's glad to have the demon once and the demon sheds a tear and does a 180??? Like I just don't believe it at all. At the end of volume it is stated that this an adaptation of a light novel series and there were some important scenes with the devil that was cut out so perhaps in the light novel him warming up to the prince is more organic.

Anyways I really did find it an engaging read but the Fan service almost made me wanna drop it. I don't know if I'd pick up the light novel or a volume 2 though.

Kind of adorable but also kind of silly. The premise is that a young man of low birth is killed by an upper class magician and is reincarnated as the 7th prince of a kingdom. He retains all the memories of his past life and so starts to study magic with a passion and is for some reason completely gifted at it. There is also a cute little demon that looks like a mini ram and a lot of fan service.

I have some really weird feelings about this book, and I think it all comes down to discrepancy in tone in the depictions of women.
This book spells it out clearly that Lloyd is not interested in women, to the point that he wouldn't even nurse as a baby. It makes some sense that Lloyd would not view those around him sexually as he is physically only 10. But what I quickly got fed up with is that every single woman is hypersexualized, which we can easily assumed isn't how Lloyd is viewing this world.
I get that this is made for the male gaze, but this fanservice is honestly a detriment to the story,

I really liked Tao because I liked the idea of Tao's sexuality playing against Lloyd's lack of sexual interest. Also he Qi puns honestly had me laughing while I was reading this.

I probably won't continue this manga, partially because the hypersexualization and partially because I can already see it getting repetitive.

At first, I was not too sure about this one. It took me a little bit to get into but as I read more I started to enjoy it more. It is a series where the mc is reincarnated and comes back basically overpowered.

In Lloyd's previous life, he was a low level sorcerer. Then he is reincarnated at the 7th prince and now 10 years old. He likes to spend his time gaining knowledge about sorcery and tries to improve his magic. At one point, his curiosity leads him to a guarded and locked room (which he sneaks into). While reading he encounters a demon trapped in one of the books... I will leave it there to not spoil the rest. Personally, I think this encounter is when I started to get more invested in this volume.

This first volume was alright, nothing really extraordinary about it. A typical isekai series with an overpowered protagonist and some fan service, I did enjoy some of the panels and the demon character Grim. However, I'm not sure where this series will go, and I'm honestly not sure if I will be continuing with this in the future.

I'm not usually a fan of manga like this, but "I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability" was actually quite entertaining! The reason is that I find ecchi elements unnecessary in fantasy series and we get boobs everywhere here. Gladly our main character doesn't care about them, but then again he's a kid...and obsessed with magic. Prince Lloyd actually remembers his puny from before he was reincarnated and now he wants to correct his mistakes and become the greatest sorcerer. He's only ten and already very good, but no one seems to notice this around him. This was a good choice and I did like the demon Grim too. It's hard to say where this story is going though, but I do hope it's refreshing and stays different, since there are so many series like this out there right now with too long titles.

The art looks nice and childish even, which works well. The movements work well and all in all this looks very lively and the prince looks actually like a kid, which is super great. This is even fun at times, so a better series like this with potential!

This felt like a pretty standard reincarnation kind of story. Unnecessary fan service, a grown man remembering everything once reincarnated, and now he wants to destroy and understand the world through magic. I don't think I will continue with this one.

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability was an absolutely hilarious manga, but probably not in the way the author intended. This definitely fits in with my personal rule of thumb; the longer a manga's title is, the less you can expect from it. IWRATSPSICTMTPMMA has an acronym that would make even a veteran BookTwitter user's eyes cross, and the inside is exactly what it sounds like. A peasant with inferior magic desperately tries to claw his way up in a world where your magic depends on three things: bloodline, aptitude, and dedication, and ends up being murdered just in time to be reincarnated as the land's seventh prince. Regaining his memories means ten years later, he's become a formidable sorcerer. Between the maids adoring him, having to hide his powers so he doesn't rock any boats, and releasing a demon to be his familiar, he's got a lot going on in his new life!

I can't say I cared much for the shota aspect, the nudity, or the very video game-esque worldbuilding. I've been lucky to uncover some amazing isekais, but this is very typical of the genre in a way I didn't like. I know I'm biased, since new isekais I read have very high bars to clear, so I gave this book a pity half star on my rating since it is exactly what it appears to be, even if I didn't care for it. In the end, this wasn't for me, but if you're a fan of very typical isekais where an overpowered boy gets dropped into a new life and is surrounded by boobs, this would be perfect for you.

❧ 2.5 ★

This one was not really my cup of tea. It was well written and drawn, but too much like a video game for young teen boys. The video game stats and adventure style as well as random gratuitous nudity are not my preference in stories.
