Description
This is not a fairytale. No, this is a story of what lurks beyond the “happily ever after.” Once upon a time, Elena assumed the role of Princess Veronica, married the crown prince, and lived happily... until her dutiful knight plunged his sword into her back and the true Veronica stepped out of the darkness. Now, Elena finds herself at the beginning of her cautionary tale. However, this time she intends to do more than play the star of the show. This time, Elena will direct the downfall of everyone who played a part in wronging her.

Art = 10

There is very little if any romance at all in this series. Overall it has a very intelligent revenge plot; think of it as Count of Monte Cristo lite. Since the plans can get complicated and confusing, it’s better to binge it. If you like it or don’t manage to drop it until chapter 60, go read the light novel.
~~~ the rest of this review is dedicated to the light novel ~~~
I find it strange the romance only happens in the side-stories and even then it’s incomplete. We get an incomplete prequel in the form of a dream and then an incomplete romance.

Does Sian (crown prince) ever find out that Elena regressed? Why is Edmund so obsessed with her when he wasn’t in the past? Why is there a conflicting love triangle in a side story? It’s not well-fleshed out. Also who the heck is Duke Buckingham and why haven’t we heard of their relationship with Grand Duke Friedrich before? What about the 4th Great House? Seems like a convenient obstacle for Elena and co. to me. Also I would like some happy 2nd-life-Ian-Elena-Sian moments pls,
but unfortunately the light novel is completed and we won’t get that. 🙁... Last updated on December 31st, 2021, 12:51pm
I was really interested in this, but the pacing once she's at school kinda falls off, then the series ends.
This started out surprisingly strong. Then she went to the academy and the momentum fizzled out. Now reading that the series might not even be finished and that has made me wish I hadn't started it at all.

start on ch. 40 to save time
A strong start, but since the MC has gone to school there has been minimal progression of plot. Just ambling around the art department, and awkward encounters with MCs. I know characters have to be established, but this is glorified filler at the moment.
Looks like it's getting cancelled at ch.60.. Given the pace of the last 25-30 chapters I'm hardly surprised.

Replacement stories are always a little unbelievable but thankfully Shadow Queen doesn't really bother with trying to convince us of the plot: it just goes straight into the politics, the emotions, and the revenge. The beginning of this story is really strong, and it's great to see Elena play different roles with such skill. It does get a bit tedious just how far ahead she thinks, but hey, this is her chessboard, after all. And we're all here for that vengeance, anyway.
Also agree with Delaria: praying that Ren isn't the ML. He's not likeable at all... just kind of an edgy b/stard character. I have a horrible feeling he'll be "softened" by Elena at some point, but even if he does stay true to his nastiness, he's still not the kind of character I enjoy reading about.

I like it. I must say that I absolutely hate the cousin though so if he's the ML I'm out. The author wouldn't do that to us though, right?
Interesting, usually we can point out who is ml right away in isekai stories, but in all 31 chapter that been uploaded yet i still not sure who is the ml
