YMMV / Princeless

• Anvilicious: The feminist themes are very heavy in the series, to put it mildly.
• Base-Breaking Character: Adrienne herself. Is she an inspirational Princess and a great Escapist Character for young girls, or is she a rude, abrasive Royal Brat and a generic Action Girl?
• Broken Base: That fact that most, if not all, the antagonists in the series, as well as a majority of men shown, are seething Straw Misogynists with very little depth to them. It's either lazy writing or it puts a heavier emphasis on the prejudices women face. Doesn't help that the comic will flip flop on playing it as a serious problem or as a joke.
• Les Yay: Adrienne and Bedelia have a lot to the point that several characters have commented on it.
• Narm: Adrienne cutting her hair short because it was too high maintenance being treated as serious drama as Adrienne "saving herself for a second time".
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
  • The comic's attempts to show Adrienne as strong willed and self reliant often makes her come across as needlessly rude, aggressive and more than a little sexist in her own right. Her harsh interaction with Prince Wilcome in the first issue is a good and early example of this. It was supposed to make her look smart and independent, but many readers thought it made her look like a jerk.
  • Kira's main character trait of being temperamental towards everyone is seemingly supposed to make her look cool but instead makes her look hostile and standoffish.
• The Un Twist: The black knight is Queen Ashe, something that was heavily foreshadowed in almost all of the black knight's appearances up to the official reveal.
