in the end, it really is just about a mage with special circumstances. their origins say men have powers to protect women but the way they handled it is for cowards because they're not protecting the women AT ALL. They're just hiding the truth and leading it to discrimination and have seemingly only caught the ring leader and his men, not the nobles involved.
im sensitive about this because that's the reality being written in this fiction. the protagonist is abandoned and looked at with disgusting eyes even if she saved someone only because she had magic. and the other girls had to be reliant of men even if it's also men that benefit from them. it's misogynistic.
sure, eco can be "eco", but for someone who wants to protect and save the other women... for someone who wanted to find women like her, the story ended with a superficial happy ending that resolved absolutely nothing except deny her womanhood by being "just eco". It's so idealistic to think that she could live as "herself" when it means abandoning her womanhood just to keep using magic freely.
