I probably could have dropped this at chapter 30-40. 2/3 of the male leads on your cover page are her literal brothers and you get to the main male lead only at that 30ish chapter mark. I'm not upset with the character and world building but *man I was holding out for a hero to arrive and he finally did and I was disappointed.* Spoilers Below ------------------------------------------------
It's a slog to read- nothing of major interest occurs and honestly once the main male lead (you'll know him when you see him) arrives a lot of side characters get SHAFTED. The brothers show up less, the whole prince of the kingdom who was kind of a red herring at the beginning literally ceases to exist half way through. The aide that felt like a plausible villain? Yeah he has one kind of build-up scene at the 70 chapter area and WE NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. The story's bland, they are quick to use and throw out characters, the love arc is cute but overused and not anything to write home about. The main character suffers no high stakes either- there are instances where she collapses, choking up blood. People are frantic and trying to save her....only she wakes up fine and dandy, everyone dotes on her for all of 5 minutes, AND THEN SHE CONVINCES THEM TO GET RIGHT BACK OUT THERE AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!! THERE IS NO WEIGHT TO THE ACTIONS TO RECIPROCATE THAT ITS A MOMENT WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN SHE JUST KEEPS GOING AND IS COMPLETELY UTTERLY FINE!!! Honestly the best part is the array of comedic moments there are with the designs, panels, and setup...but it's not tagged a comedy so WE ARE DROPPING THE BALL ON THAT TOO I GUESS! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ Overall, you can skip this one. If you're out to be a completionist go for it but I earnestly can tell you? I've been there. I finished it. I hit the end, I gave it 2 stars, and my final thoughts weren't "how riveting" or "I should tell-" or even "I'll add that to my-" No. My final thought was "Glad it's over." with a complete deadpanned stare. And that's a blatant sign that something was failed to be conveyed in a rightful manner.
