This had an interesting start, but a really cheap ending. The female mc went from very strong-willed to needing to be rescued by everyone else. Other than her relationships with her cousin and the older potion lady, all of the other relationships feel forced. No actual communication, just "I saved you / sacrificed myself for you and now you love me." And in the end, she has surprise level up out of nowhere that allows her to defeat the strongest creature on earth, thanks to the power of friendship... The art also never gets better (why do all of the characters have super huge off-center aegyosal?), and actually at the end it might have gotten worse. Some of the ugliest dragon illustrations. Just super stereotypical. It's ok to read it if you're bored, but honestly there has got to be a better use of your time.
At first I sort of sympathized with him needing to hide his feelings, but now learning that he essentially used his authority to FORCE Viera to "prove her worth" so he could marry her, all without her knowledge or consent -- that's messed up.
Imagine learning that a guy who had a crush on you in high school, used his family connections and higher status to secretly train you to be the perfect wife. Meanwhile, you're super stressed out, working long unhealthy hours, and you've been secretly isolated from being able to make any connections with the opposite sex. Now you're past the normal marriage age with no dating experience because this guy has been secretly using his power to groom you -- and when you finally find a great man who truly sees you and wants to be with you, that earlier guy keeps trying to break up your engagement.
Disgusting.
And like after being a court mage HE could have been the one to raise his name, achievement, influence and power over his grandmother and society itself.
Like, bro the woman is old what could she do if you've grown so much (what i said above) to twart her decisions for "family" .
And like you could have STILL confessed quietly, to her and made a plan WITH her instead of all that
UGH follow up, learning that Viera has never even eaten in the cafeteria before due to being overworked, isolated, and underpaid is MAKING ME SO MAD. Like what do you mean the food has been amazing the entire time... girl you were so mistreated by this pos Clement all these years and she doesn't even realize it...

I want Rosa to end up with the chubby old guy. I don't care if he's not a handsome ML. She is actually attracted to him and he seems like an honestly reliable, intelligent, loyal, good person. I don't want her to end up with the idiot husband, even if he is trying harder. Why does an absolute baddy need to be with a guy that's so far below her level?
He isn't related to her by blood and it seems like they never met or interacted before she was an adult and marriagable age. And after they met, they mainly respect each other's intelligence, manners, and work-ethic. He and her dad may have grown up together, but they don't call each other brother and rarely think of each other as brothers -- more like friends. And he and her dad have also been separated for nearly two decades. He's never been with other women and is extremely respectful. It doesn't seem incestuous to me -- I get that he's older than her, but did I miss something?











I felt this way when reading the light novel too. The story was so fun and the MC was so likeable when she was a spider, but after she gained human form it got boring
