I love that ML isn’t some righteous dude but rather MC’s partner in technically-not-illegal crime. Like make no mistake, she’s switching from one kind of villainy to another here, capitalism is just a much more comfortable and nicely-packaged form of villainy than whatever she was doing before. The subscription system? Perfect revenge and it puts basic math behind a paywall for any poor soul wanting to do magic. Being economical involves far more math—like this is top tier evil. She’s gonna run all the local businesses to the ground to build up a franchise empire and look fabulous while doing it. Evil queen behaviour.
The concept is so great, but there’s too much going on and the pacing is so fast there’s no room for anything to breathe. Why is it suddenly a regular hotel too?? Like, we are losing the plot here
