I mean my assumption while reading has always been that the main plot (ultimate goal) is her eventually fighting the Salt King, Salt Princess, and even the half-brother prince? Seems everything else is going to be her finding love, power, her “place”, y’know the whole “this is just supposed to be a book but now I feel like I belong in this world” type situation.
But idk that’s just how I’m reading it. I personally love this series, even if doing what she loves has made her less of a homebody. I’m def the same type as her though so I personally enjoy it because it lets me dream that things can change.

Im so confused, there’s nothing to look forward to besides the blooming romance of the two. Not really my cup of tea, this is more like a slice of life manhwa.. there’s no ultimate goal??
