Has there ever been an FL who didn't trip on nothing? I don't know why but the trope annoys me every time I see it.
I agree that it’s overused. But the stories who have the accidental trip look actually accidental, make it natural enough to not look corny. Personally I like the way the author made her trip: it showed she was clearly focused on something actually interesting—Isidore not having gloves—and that she was a few steps into the stairs before actually tripping. It’s unique to have these details
How am I supposed to give a shit about someone who does absolutely nothing about what happens to him or the people around him? "Stay quiet" "just endure" he isn't living his life so why should I care?
This mentality pisses me off to no end. I want to like it but the MC is insufferable in his passivity
the MC doesn't have much of a choice. he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.
if he acts out - they accuse him of trying to take the throne from his bro.
he life is at constant threat of assassination so he can't just leave, and they wouldn't let him leave anyway.
his father doesn't do a damn thing in part cause he doesn't get how serious this kids situation is but also he doesn't have as much authority as he should as a monarch because he too is being kept in check.
what is the MC supposed to do? he can't leave, can't misbehave, he can't even leave his own room without a guard. he doesn't have anyone in power backing him other than the king, but the king ain't much help.
i know we all want a super OP MC that can just beat anyone that opposes him senseless but this MC is just a powerless kid that only has his past life adult knowledge but he can't do anything with it except pretend to be an alchemy-obsessed dummy in his room.
A lot of plotholes. And the inability and unwillingness to resolve misunderstandings between MC and ML and actually talk is extremely frustrating especially with how contrived it all is. How many time can she trip on nothing, or be interrupted by someone then not follow up? Come on now.
Still, kept me hooked until the end of the season. I just hope these issues resolve soon.











Here's where the entire premise of the story is about to fall apart. What is Wein's whole goal? To be overthrown so he doesn't have to work anymore. His very intelligent classmate of good character who likes and respects Wein just offered his entire goal, the driving force of the plot, on a silver platter
But we know he will say no because reasons.
Which will break the story and throw out the premise.
