[ENG Ver.] The Mad Slayer Princess Daria 4

Editorial Review

★4.2 / 5 — henhenta editorial rating (our own assessment, not the DLsite official user score)

Fourth entry in a serialized dark-fantasy corruption saga, this sits in the possession and mind-control corner of the warrior-princess genre. Much of the current landscape treats that premise as a one-off setup, so a series that keeps escalating its central conceit across multiple volumes stands out.

What distinguishes this installment is its focus on the progressive loss of self rather than on a single encounter. The synopsis frames Daria’s predicament as a slow merging with the troll Gesla: she is marked with a lewd crest, withdraws into isolation, and then discovers she cannot even confide in her worried comrades because her consciousness is hijacked mid-attempt. That gives the story a psychological, almost horror-tinged tension. The return to her home kingdom of Glacia as a last-ditch attempt at a cure, followed by an unexpected bodily change, adds a ticking-clock structure. The troll ambush then dramatizes the central fear, a fighter who cannot trust her own body in battle. Daria’s backstory also gives the corruption real stakes. She is a vengeful swordswoman who built her reputation by destroying troll forces after her brother’s death, so being controlled by one of the three great trolls is a pointed reversal of her whole identity.

At 44 pages plus cover and afterword, delivered in JPEG and PDF with an English translation, it is a compact, easy-to-read volume.

Readers who enjoy possession, loss-of-agency themes, and fantasy settings with a tragic, revenge-driven heroine will get the most from it, particularly those already following the series.

Verdict: a tightly focused chapter in a corruption narrative that makes its heroine’s vanishing autonomy the real source of tension.
