Ngl, this is fine. It's just that the characters all seem so whatever? Idk how to describe it word for word, but everyone besides the bad guys just seem so chill when they have every right not to be. ML feels like the only one really working against the tides, when ironically enough the royal ladies with the water powers are just sitting still. And even then he just solves the situation instead of taking initiative. They're weirdly complacent, I'm mostly annoyed with the Empress tho. Like not only does she let her trash consort get away with child abuse but also worshipping that one evil fire deity. If she has the gall to tell her daughter and act like she actually cared about her all this time, then how about she address the issue about her husband being a walking, talking, abusive piece of garbage first? Divorce, is all I can say, so what if she's lonely?
Just make ML the Emperor his quirk is and feels 100% more efficient than these oh-so sacred water powers anyway. He was born with a built-in multi-purpose toolbelt, can fly, heal, fuck shit up, you name it but nothing outweighs being able to drench fire demons in water? The lore is valid, but the story utilizes and shows those powers so damn little and just makes it look like a convinient yet needed gimmick to have against the big bad. Like FL made rain maybe twice and did a heart grab thing on the old timeline but that's it, pathetic. It doesn't help that ML is white knighting FL pretty hard.
Again otherwise the story is fine, I actually like it, but those points pull it down a fair bit for me.
