I just caught and man... ISABELLE

I really wish this story had well written female characters!! Isabelle's potential is essentially wasted. She may have intelligence but we never get to see her display her skills in a meaningful way. She's getting tutored by the MC, but why? What does tutoring her do to progress the story? How does that help the MC with his goal of defeating the Demigod??

She sticks her nose into Frey's business when she has no right to, and NO REASON TO (Like on Frey's date!! You barely know the guy?? Mind your business). She feels like an out of place cheer leader, the lack of importance in her presence prevents me from feeling invested in her in any way. Having her save the MC in the recent chapter helped a bit but it's not going to replace 40 chapters worth of character development!

Come to find out, SHE'S BARELY IN THE NOVEL!! No wonder she felt like a flat character!

I thought I was being too harsh, but after reading these comments, I'm glad to see that I wasn't alone.

    FRRR she has the potential but the author wants Frey to seem the good strong hero type so we never get to see Isabelle shine .

    Like seriously do it right or don't do it at all. If they decided to include her why do they make her freaking prop?

    FAX like it’s like they’re using her as a stepping stone to make Frey shine brighter. Don’t they’re realize it makes us more hesitant reading it?

    EXACTLY I get it's a genre aimed for males but the female fanbase still exists! Also I'm pretty sure male fans don't enjoy this either :(

    i didnt know this is adapted from a novel so thanks for the info about isabelle. i felt like her character was flat too.
    i thought when frey said he's showing isabelle the battling technique we can see her trying it too and you know, give her to the potential to also achieve 9-star but NOPE. She's just sitting there, looking at frey instead
