I bought this comic for the third time. It’s just fun to read and easy to follow. The story keeps me engaged, especially with Ash’s clever solutions. Enjoyable art style too! I received it fast in great condition.

The story is funny and keeps my attention. I liked the artwork too. Some jokes didn’t land for me, but it was worth reading anyway. Volume three got here a bit later than expected, so be ready to wait.
Mason – Toronto, Canada –
Comic is funny and weird. The artwork stands out. Took a bit longer to get here than I hoped, but it was worth the wait. Glad I bought volume three for more laughs.

عندما رأيت “النجاة كخادمة” في النسخة الثالثة، كانت بدايتي مشوبة بالحذر. لا شك أن فكرة تحويل تجارب مائدة مألوفة إلى قصة تسرد واقع LGBTQ+ بطريقة مسلية تثير اهتمامي. الشخصية الرئيسية، آشل ، تحمل تطلعات وتحديات تجعل منها رائحتا إنسانية أمام الملكة وسط قلوب تعانق الجنس الآخر بمزيج غير عادي من البراءة والقوة. حكايتها ليست فقط نجاة، بل سعي مستمر لإثبات نفسها ومكانتها بعيدا عن الحكم المثلجات والمحيطة بها كل يوم بنفس التعامل البارد. شعرت وكأنني انغمست في عالم معقد وجذاب رغم الضغوط المستمرة لها واكتشفت سرعة حب الكتاب الذي تم صياغته بكل إتقان وتحبير ملون بين السطور الخادعة لعالم القصور

Exploring Ash’s plight within a captivating queer realm brings new dimensions to character interaction. Each chapter reveals delightful surprises while tackling challenges in relationships, giving voice and meaning even amidst whimsical humor.
Leilani Kamai from Los Angeles, USA –
As a lifelong reader of both BL novels and fantasy comics, I was completely enchanted by Volume 3 of “Surviving as a Maid.” The character development reaches exhilarating heights when Ash faces moral dilemmas within the treacherous court filled with whimsy and complicated love. It humorously contrasts stark realities faced in mundane life – who knew washing royal robes could hide more secrets than buried beneath conspiracies? It’s layered storytelling enveloped me deeper into its whimsical chaos while offering commentary on societal norms that resonate even beyond the fantastical backdrop. Those who delight in witty plots mixed seamlessly with eccentric characters will cherish this experience immensely!

Li a terceira edição de ‘Surviving as a Maid’ e não consigo parar de rir! É incrível como Ash lida com os altos e baixos da vida na corte gay. Me identifiquei tanto quando ela quase queimou o jantar! Se você curte romances fora do comum, vai adorar esta história cativante cheia de reviravoltas inesperadas.
Yasmin from Dubai, United Arab Emirates –
تجربة قراءة ‘Surviving as a Maid’ لا تشبه أي شيء آخر في عالم القصص المصورة. تحمل الصفحات عبق تفاصيل فنية معقدة، حيث نجد الدردشة بين الشخصيات والغموض الكامن في خبايا القصر يزيد من جذبنا للقصّة. يغمر أسلوب الرسوم المتحركة النابض بالحياة النص بأسلوب حديث ولطيف يجعل التفاعل معها تجربة غير مسبوقة وفريدة. أداء الشخصية الرئيسية ‘أش’ وكفاحها وسط تحديات تتسم بالكثير من المسابقات الممتعة يُضيء سحر هذا الكتاب وتوازن تناقضه بالإخلاص والنزاهة الأخلاقية لأبعاد أخرى تدور حول الهوى والهوية.
Luciana Vega from Buenos Aires, Argentina –
De verdad, esta novela gráfica desafía todas las expectativas. La trama se desliza suavemente entre el humor y la intriga; ver a Ash navegando por los caprichos del reino con su ingenio me dejó riendo de buena gana.

Freja – Malmö, Sverige –
Serien har en intressant idé med udda karaktärer. Den är rolig men ibland svårt att följa plottarna i detalj. Jag gillar illustrationsstilen och kvaliten, fick den relativt snabbt levererad.
