I liked reading it to pass the time but it's not to be taken very seriously and it's not one of the best rofan I've ever read. It was good but I was a bit disappointed to be honest: From the premise, her being the strongest and a warrior chosen by God, I was expecting more action and badassery on the female lead's part, but it got lost in romantic comedy and in the love triangle (I like love triangles a lot but it was dragged on quite a lot when the duke didn't stand a chance and the whole thing was even concluded as if nothing ever happened). I got so excited seeing the earliest chapters with her fighting monsters but in the end basically almost every real fight she had happened off-screen while she pretended to be a delicate lady until the end, when the final battle happened. And even then, she had ONE moment of glory shooting the bow with the power of friendship and self-sacrifice (wohoo) but she still didn't get to fight and show off her strength while everybody else was fighting. And then she just lost her powers?? How disappointing TT
I'm aware that the problem has to do with the fact that my expectations and preferences weren't matched, more than the story itself, but still: don't expect TOO much out of the warrior subplot if that's what's making you read the story.
And also a little detail: one of my favorite things of cross-dressing stories (probably the reason I like them so much) is the whole "male lead falls in love with female lead thinking she's a man, and still loves her when he finds out she's actually a woman, because when it comes to the person he loves gender doesn't matter and he would love her anyway" so I'm so sad when, like in this case, the male lead knows she's a woman the whole time
