Well... That was underwhelming

It's not good.
King married a child to protect her from her abusive parents. He treated her like a student, so he's not a pedo here. Wild he just didn't adopt her or do anything else. Y'all will notice that the question of 'couldn't they have done ANYTHING else' will be asked multiple times if you read this.
Girl becomes queen and, unless it's plot relevant, her position is just a joke in this story. She could execute people for disrespecting her or throw them in jail, but doesn't. People walk all over her. And not in the normal meek FL way, but in an annoying way that doesn't make sense since SHE IS LITERALLY THE QUEEN. She is the sole ruler. Nikias pals should have been smited or punished the second they refered to her as 'that woman' to her face in any other decent story. Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)

Typical distant father used a scepter to save people and it, SPOILER *sacrifices the user's loved one* SPOILER. He regrets both his wives dying and doesn't want his ONLY son to be the ruler so he won't use it instead of, idk, breaking it or doing ANYTHING ELSE.

It's stupid and definitely a 'don't think too hard, guys' read. In fact, it gives up on itself with an open end finish.

Could have been a decent read if they just had the king adopt MC as a child or arrange for her to marry Nikias as a smoke screen to protect her from her abusive parents. Fast forward to being teens and the king passes away. A bunch of problems arise and using the scepter becomes the only viable option. MC dies as a result and wow reincarnation time and she discovers those issues were a plot by the bad crazy man obsessed with people being worse off than him to do something more substantial than be obsessed with MC's misery. Nikias didn't reincarnate and deals with feelings of inadequacy at MC's newfound confidence and success. Not to mention learning the scepter killed his mother. Still not great, but definitely would have more substance than this story. ┗( T﹏T )┛

    This is often happened in manga. Even with title and power they doesnt use it as an advantage but instead let people easily walk over them. The nobles that use her still a 'power' that would make her word become legitimate. SHE IS NOT WITHOUT POWER! The author just made the knights looks so fucking stupid for dare to challenge their lord. Idk what's with japanese author. Is it kindness to let people do as they want? No! It's stupidity.
