Well that's not good. If she ends up with the prince I swear I will drop this. But...Umm why do you say that? How much does it differ from the novel?

the events in the manga are happening a lot faster by skipping things that happen in the novel. i don’t remember too clearly but i think some events may have been rearranged, some added, and some skipped entirely. take that with a grain of salt.
also in the novel she does spend time with the prince but it’s clear that she is thinking a lot more about her friend and not the prince. but in the manga the prince has more scenes than the friend, so it’s confusing.

all in all i prefer the novel more bcoz there’s more going on and it goes a lot more in depth about character’s feelings. the manga takes too many shortcuts in my opinion.

Oh I see....I notice mangas that adapted from a novel tend to gloss over some events often it feels like it's a speed run for a recap. Like this manga I read called "Auto-mode Expired in the 6th Round of the Otome Game" like holy shit I don't even need to read the novel to know that they are speeding through this. Thank you for answering my question, I think I gonna read the novel version instead now.

Japanese shojou mangas that is based from a novel usually a speed up. I also realize that this type of mangas usually have the same art style so maybe the artist or the publishing company were the same and maybe the novel authors turn their novels into manga to promote their novel and only use the manga as an advertisement to gather readers who are interested to buy their manga. Some of them also promote their work by turning them into anime.

Unlike korean manhwas which is based on novels, they mostly conclude all the details in the novels.
