The story isn't really good but I'm gonna comment again, on what a 'Strong Female lead' is. Being just physically strong or smart is NOT a good representation of a strong female lead. Readers are so use to 'damsels' being portrayed as weak that they immediately associate naivety, fear and weakness as a negative trait. This does not mean the female character isn't strong because every character lead starts off with flaws and weaknesses. Alicia is actually a strong female lead because she has the willpower and courage to grow and become a stronger person. She took on a role that caterpillar once had, which is to look over the entire world and make sure there is order.
If you are one of those who still think a strong female lead needs to be physically capable, then try to look at stories where strong female representations are done right.
Physicality is just one aspect of strength, the characters development and growth is where we see strength being represented. A strong woman does not have to be smart or physically strong, they can cry and have weaknesses, it's how they overcome this that makes her strong.
