100%. Bro the fl was absolutely amazing in the beginning and a prime example of a different realistic approach. But then came the middle and somehow i liked the blond haired and thr brunette haired more they had more perosnality and they had more motivation to do stuff yknow?? They have plot. BUT FOR SOME REzob. She just had to get hurtt and let the ml take care of everything LIKE EVEN THE VILLAIND HAVR MORE PERSONALITH FOR THEM AND AT SOME POONT i was rooting for them. Not their beliefd but the way they used their brain to do stuff
Exactly!!!! B/c all the other characters have such big personalities and motivations, it kind of drowns out the fl. Ofc she is loyal, sacrificial, willing to do anything for her province, and b/c she’s been on the battlefield all her life she doesn’t know alot of stuff which is fine. But she has no other motivation or personality other that, and the later half of the story, the most she was struggling with was whether she has feelings for the ml and denying those feelings
Because above all those things, it falls off of her being Specifically NAIVE, that's maybe why she's somewhat unrelateable to most of the readers claiming she doesn't have much personality at the mid chapter.
True true. I read so much manhwa with similar plot that insomehow have become numb to their clicheness. But the characters here are really good i just hopr that the fl is somehow able to overcome this path cuz this one id actually good(づ￣ ³￣)づ
The story started off great but near the middle I started to feel like it could’ve been better. For example, our fl is the prime example of a strong independent woman who made a name for herself and earned her own power. The 2 other female characters introduced were trying to fight for the empress position b/c the men in their family was telling them that was the only way for them to have power or earn recognition. I was hoping that the other 2 females would become friends with the fl and get inspired by the fl to become independent and fight for themselves. Especially in the case with the girl from the duvet house, I wanted the fl to be the one to recommend her to become head of the house and pave her own path, just like how fl did. But instead the concubine was the one who was pushing that
Since the rest of the empire always look down on the fl and her province, i wanted them to play a bigger role in the war and get more recognition, so the ppl in the empire would be more appreciative of them. Like for ex. The situation being more desperate in the southern territory and then show the fl and ml discussing military tactics in the capital with the rest of the nobles, so they could be like wow this girl is a great leader, we have to treat her better. Instead at one pt it felt like the ml was just thr main contributor to everything and the fl is jusy on the side. Idk I think it’s just frustrating that after all her help the nobles are still trying to displace her cuz she’s a barbarian.
Plus it took wayyyy too long for them to kill the priest and the empress. There was literally so many opportunities, for ex telling the father to not kill the empress immediately, which resulted in his death. The ml was saying they can’t kill the priest and empress without proper justification or else he’ll be another guy killing others to get into power. But b/c of that thinking so many other ppl got killed??? Like if the father properly killed the empress, the fl’s province would not have been invaded by monsters since the temple would also be investigated, and then ppl would’ve had to die from the rebellion, and so much more.
