im most frustrated when they treat the queen with delicate hands. she can play dumb even if there is evidence, but when it's not her, the get dragged away. like? the matriarch power here is as frustrating as the common tyranny of patriarchy (goes to show that tyranny is a matter of greed and not sex—but since patriarchy has ruled most of the nations and caused the reclusion of women, misogyny exists. that's why equality like Yuri and Kail is what we need, that sense of co-dependence).
and im just thinking how ideologies are only possible with power because just as Kail said, the nation must be powerful enough to stand on its own and be able to defend itself from external attack (sovereignty at work). and it's the same with Yuri... she had to slowly change herself in order to protect the people around her. she sacrificed her chances to go home, her innocence (coz she went to war), and ultimately her life (devotion to kail and her people).
Yuri is truly a strong female lead. romantic and emotionally empathetic while also rational and assertive, a perfect blend of feminine and masculine traits. she is both independent and dependent, someone who is not bound by female stereotypes, which i think is one of the reasons why she even survived being taken to a different time and place... and why she was summoned. she's a modern teenage girl who was reckless and it's nice to see the author build her up to attain a natural maturity demanded by her environment.
she's like, the best example of why men and women would love someone... and why there are alot of 'obstacles'. she's not the typical protagonist who is loved just because she's the protagonist.
