You should watch it for Youko's growth and a political world that makes getting to the throne the beginning of the problem, not the final prize.
It's a good fit if you're looking for serious fantasy, kingdoms, travel and a protagonist who changes a lot.
What sets it apart from other royal isekai is that a sacred creature legitimizes Youko as queen, but no one gives her the trust, experience, or allies necessary to rule.
