First off, when did she ever say she wanted to save "everyone"? It's not once stated in the manga that she wants to save everyone. Second, I'm so, so, so very tired of someone helping someone else less fortunate than themselves and it being framed as a negative because "self-satsifaction." Genuinely, so what? Why does that matter? So an act was done out of pity or compassion. That's not wrong.
The reason people frame this as negative or wrong is because they feel uncomfortable with the idea of those emotions being directed at them. Yes, it could be done in excess but that's not being shown here. She heals a mother, heals a child, and gives them some money. The mother cries and thanks her. And yet, we the reader are being told this is a "horrible" thing because it was done out of pity. So, should she have ignored them? But if she ignored them, THAT could be framed as hypocrisy. So what's the "right" and "moral" thing here?
It seems to me that this story doesn't even know what morals it wants to espouse. Hee ex husband is shown to follow blind righteousness and then "wake up" from it after she died. And now she's being lambasted for having compassion.
I'm dropping here because while the story had potential in theory, the writing is a muddy, confusing mess. It doesn't help that the person who created this is making a mess of the "two love interests" trope, either. At this point, I can't tell who I'm supposed to root. Certainly not this wishy washy FL who let's herself be influenced by literally every person she meets. She was accosted by two knights and couldn't fight back because one had an expression that gave her a flashback? Be so fr rn.
I'm not saying she should suddenly learn to fight, I'm fine with her being rescued and a damsel in distress, but that wasn't just unnecessary but actively worked against her. If she's going to freak out over an expression, it shouldn't be when she's dealing with a man but with a woman. That would make sense. And you're telling me he wants to SA her but his expression was one of "disgust" so strong, it gave her a panic attack? Um. No. That's NOT the expression he would be wearing. He would be wearing a disgusting expression but he would not be looking at HER in disgust. It doesn't even make sense in the context of the scene. Maybe it was meant to be contempt? That's not how it came across tho.
Regardless, this whole story is a mess. I gave it a fair shot but it's not for me.
"Isn't that hypocrisy?"
