So I've read up to chapter 24 and honestly this sucks. The story feels disjointed and the villainess sister is so cartoonishly evil that it makes you roll your eyes. A cartoonishly evil villain can be fun and camp when written well but obviously that's not what's supposed to happen here/we're just being to be spoon fed a character that gives simple reasons to hate her and call it a day.
I think the story is trying to make itself seem more clever and tense then what it truly is and that's what's making it so hard to read. I got to chapter 9 and felt my interest really drain and then by 15 I was skimming more then actually taking the time to really think on the story (which honestly you don't have to put much effort in to do because this is so run of the mill).
Our FL holds no sense of maturity from living a past life and feels so flat and honestly toeing the line of damsel in distress despite supposedly being this mysterious mighty dark magic user. I don't expect her to be hard as steel badass who needs no help but I at least want her to properly use the resources available to her/come up with viable ways to get such help (so far the only examples I can think of where she does so is when she uses the tutor early on and using them again to encourage investments in a project she's trying to do).
Think I'm gonna put this one on hold but two questions first
So we know Master/Ekian is actually the son of the shrine woman and FL was given a mission related. Has she told Ekian what she said yet or has he told her the truth of his birth? I assume this is something they will drag out for AWHILE but would be nice to know if it has actually already happened (I doubt lol). Also how clueless is she to the fact that they are the same person...is it bad...
