Read spoilers; don't want to read this.
FL takes a lot of blame and guilt for her family's actions when they weren't her fault. Her only 'sin' was ignorance but she became a scapegoat for hatred and the author apparently portrayed it like that hatred was something FL deserved. ML and FL end up together in a way that seemingly doesn't involve a lot of actual growth or redemption on ML's side. Not interested.
Didn't read. From the spoilers, it's apparently just super depressing and FL ends up abusing her own kid for a while, which is quickly forgotten for a "happy" ending.
Read to Chap. 50. Fine concept. Poor execution. Just random time and setting jumps without explanation. Feels like no info is given and you barely know anything about any of the characters. Motivations? Goals? Backstories? Nothing.
Dropped at Chap. 60. FL's emotions are extremely erratic in terms of the story and what reactions make sense in a given situation while she simultaneously displays little emotions at all. Was bearable. It's not anymore. She forgives ML way too easily but seemingly despises her 'friend' as soon as ML returns. She saves a slave from abuse then slaps him in a situation when telling him to stop would have sufficed. Finally, she says she loves ML but easily dismisses his feelings.
Read to 43 then dropped. No sign of her identity being revealed and from comments it still hasn't happened at the end of the second season. Also feels like her having powers doesn't actually mean that much; I'd honestly prefer if she was just really capable but had to hide it because it would give her away as princess instead of hiding it just to not draw attention.
Dropped at Chap 16. I just don't understand why shrine didn't just run away with Siz the moments they were free. There's genuinely no reason for her to fight in the empire's war or serve the imperial family.
