She is the best kind of FL because she is the rare kind. We already have thousand of over sentimental FL or "smart" FL who only appear smart because the author say so without actually showing it. There is also the case of heroines who start great but slowly turn into insufferable cry babies in the name of a false character development. No, "emotional" does not mean neurotic and that it is alright to make you grown ass FL cry four times by chapters. Iris from Common's sense of a duke daughter, Edna from Light and Shadow or even Sabina from Empress of another world are rare jewel indeed.
I forgot to had but, small spoiler, she is not actually romantically dense. She just think that she don't deserve him because she is a vilainess and that he is fated to be with the Saintess. Since she broke them up in the first timeline she want to help them get their happy ending this time. She is actually playing dumb.
Agree
I love the female leadヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
She understands her position as a chess piece for the kingdom to be united under the Grand Duke’s capable hands. As she mentioned in the recent chapters, the Grand Duke is too kind, too honest and people loved him so much. But because of that, he will be the target to be eliminated as a threat. She is there to support him in the backlines, hence being cold and having no mercy to the enemies or anyone that is a threat for the Grand Duke. Rather than being benevolent, she remains in her true nature, as the ‘villainess’ and a damn good one too. This time, she is just a villainess for the good of the kingdom and this is the best villainess we could ever want
Irdk I'm not a very big fan of the fl, I mean yes, I like that she's independent and powerful and awesome, but irdk I guess I don't like her as much as I love Cedric. I feel like its becaise shes TOO cold, i wish she was a little nicer and also she's romantically very dense, which I'm not really into. I like her but at the same time do I really? yk?
