Feels forced

I agree w other commenters that this has gotten a bit stale. It feels like the main plot is taking a backseat so we can instead go through the villainess webcomic trope checklist.
The premise of this is fun, but i feel like the author cant decide whether they want fluff or drama, so instead we get a bunch of low-stakes drama that means nothing and isn’t even really pleasant to watch. And any fluff is always immediately undercut by said drama.
They revealed the guy who might be her OG dad a few chapters back, but instead of doing anything to set up that confrontation, or even show how strong her bonds w her current family is, we’re just. Sitting around waiting for something to happen while the 2 MLs who both have the exact same personality argue and prove once again they bring nothing interesting to the table. The tea party also kinda just feels like a way to fill time, it’s very predictable how it’ll go and feels like more unnecessary padding.
I genuinely want this to be good, and i feel like a lot of these tropes could be done well if this comic could decide what it wants to be. But rn I just kinda feel like they have the plot dangling ever in the distance like a carrot on a stick, while each season is just waiting for literally ANYTHING of concequence to happen.
