Seems like it could be a decent watch for fans of the genre but it's a bit too josei for me.
First episode was very painful to watch. I think it is a very good episode still. But I weren't able to watch about half of it... But end of the episode fixed everything That's how it needs to be.
This about mirrors a lot of the Novelupdates reviews of the book. I like the character designs, setting, voice acting, etc... but the full scale creep mode sort of ruins it. Obviously the king could just try being a lot more barbaric in reality, but even putting that aside it's just silly how he comes out, fully dressed, in every scenario. Also she has taken a lot of courses at this point and isn't exactly stupid. If she actually wanted to escape, she should be able to come up with a better way than just silly escape plots.
I suppose it's meant to sort of be endearing, but it's about as creepy as her dream was (which actually was a bit of a jumpscare at the end of it).
Overall, hard for me to place how I feel about this show.
The plot is girl tries desperately to break off her forced engagement to an overly creepy royal guy while everyone she knows tries to gaslight her into thinking shes wrong for not wanting him. Hands down one of the worst anime I have ever seen.
Okay, so "I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons." Picture this: a girl gets totally dumped into the royal life, endures years of etiquette torture that leaves her emotionally shattered, and then, BAM! Freedom! She bolts faster than a greased piglet. But wait...a few days later, Prince Charming shows up, confesses to playing games, kidnaps her, and locks her in his room—complete with a secret bedchamber behind a bookshelf! Seriously, eww. And get this, she somehow starts to be okay with it? The whole thing is bonkers! I've only seen four episodes, and I'm already wondering what the writers were thinking.
It's a stark contrast to "I'll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History." Even when the plots got crazy in that one, the characters' actions always made sense within the context of their personalities. You could understand why they did what they did. This one, though? It's like they're playing a different game entirely. Maybe they're going for a 'so bad it's good' vibe? I'm not sure, but it's certainly a wild ride!

I assume you're a man. Then you might be surprised that in quite a bit of otome games the protagonist gets kidnapped by the guy love interests. Heck, in more hardcore ones he even rapes her, and that's somehow okay, because he apologizes later. And these things appeal to certain female crowds.
What you're describing is very softcore in comparison.

Sounds like some otome games go to some pretty wild places, huh? The whole 'kidnapped and suddenly falling for the captor' storyline feels like a rollercoaster ride, especially when you start thinking about... you know... that syndrome. It's a bit much to swallow, and it makes you question how a sincere apology could truly undo everything. I mean it's pretty traumatic don't you think.
