Story is good but I do have some issues with the way the conflicts seem... Completely waived away. Like the story sets up a very good base for a tragic story but by chapter... I feel 6 they kind of just stop taking the conflict, which is that the prince is no more than the child of the enemy who cursed them is supposed to be sacrificed. I don't want this to get too long but I found the premise really engaging since the way every character interacted with the Mc felt really full of contempt. So it sucks that they just drop it to make another super strong cunning female lead story.
I think they at least should have done a grand reveal of her true identity, since so far at least they haven't mentioned if having strong mana or magic is normal in the royal family?
Great story though but so far it's seeming to go down the latest route of the author wanting a more typical female lead solves every problem and ends up with a happy obssessed family who's traumas and issues have been snapped away. While the beginning is promising a different deeper story of an orphan being used by a cruel King, who at this rate will be revealed to had set her up knowing she has the mana they need to reverse the curse all along because he felt bad.
i think the author will reveal it, probably a few more chapters after solving the current issue. and maybe a little bit of foreshadowing along the way, afterall, they haven't even showed what was mc's life before she became a beggar.
Probably one of my fave antags is in this story, just because she's so... Threatening but doesn't feel helped by the plot too much. Like she's actually intelligent and vicious but also doesn't take easy routes like the typical white lotus.
