Pretty art, but annoyingly predictable story

The art is incredibly pretty, but the story feels rather cliche and I feel that the mc comes of as a Mary Sue.
(Spoiler warning I guess?)

She struggles a little in the beginning, but almost immediately she becomes drop dead gorgeous due to magic, not because she works hard to change her body. She also discovers she’s smart, she improves her mana and magic abilities, and the people around her seem to forgive her and her actions almost immediately.

We as the audience obviously know that she’s changed, but from the perspective of everyone else, she’s been a terror for years, so how come their opinions flip so quickly?
There was mention that time passes between chapters, but it doesn’t feel like it, so the “character development” doesn’t feel earned most of the times..

I don’t believe that this world is challenging Sylvia enough, because whenever trouble comes, she solves the issue in 10 panels or less.
And often when she solves an issue, it turns out that she’s even more amazing than initially thought(like when goes to sell the magic stones, or when she passes the test withheld highest score), so it just feels boring and predictable.

The story is still in the early stages, so I’m hoping that things improve, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m not really expecting much tbh.

    I agree this story can't really move forward that's why I suspect that the little sister is evil and the demon, they're here just because this story is stuck and they need more drama more spice. I too thought that the authors were just lazy so they made her lose some weight with magic. And I too don't get why every man sticks to the fl and they are magically attracted to them like for example the prince...like why does he like her? Why? She doesn't deserve this. I am reading this story just cuz I'm bored and because there aren't better ones updating...
