the tree one was the one that got me. she’s a professional at her job and a guy that has no idea helps her do the job she’s done for years?? it makes no sense and felt like a weird situation to make him aura farm. even if she ends in dangerous situations, i wish that at least her personality was more steady and her attitude a bit sharper. i’m just tired that still decades later female mc’s still get written off as this helpless persona. studies literally prove that women are often more emotionally intelligent and got their shit together, so why do they always get stupidfied in media?? bruh

one thing i hate about this is that the mc is often a damsel in distress and that he has to save her so many times (even help her do her goddamn job… like bruh). idk why it’s so hard for authors to write a female mc that for once doesn’t need constant help from the male love interest. the saving grace to this story is that he looks like He Tian my man
