If I'm being honest i don't really like the heroine. She's boring and her only personality trait is that she isn't a bad person, which I'm fine with, she's a kid after all and they don't have really strong personalities, however everyone around her treats her as if she's this angel send from above. Her brother tells her "people say they don't like our hair color :/" and she basically replies with "that's mean! >:(" and to which they reply back ":0000, omg noone has ever said that very obvious and subjective thing before, heh, you really are different :))))". If the author pushed a little further and made her nice to the point where it's harmful towards herself and burden to others, as the result of trauma from being a literal slave, that'd be fun to read about! If she only behaved nicely, because she's deeply scared of being kicked out, that'd be fun to read about!! If the curse could only be broken once the sister is sacrificed and her brothers grown fond of her although they knew they had to use her it'd be a fun story to read about!! Instead we have the perfect victim protagonist, who's backstory only serves to make other characters pity her and doesn't actually imprint any morals or trauma on her (besides that names are valuable), who got into a position of power by simply being born i guess, surrounded by people who love and adore her without any threat of danger present. And you know what? Good for her! I'm glad that this is the life she got, but the story can't create any emotion besides "aw:)" "aw:(" and "aw>:(".
