Ok. Arts Gorgeous. That's a given. The characters? Kinda badly written. The two maids barely have presence, the 2nd in command hasn't had screentime in a while. The characters all look the same except colors, no one has a distinct style to help differentiate. The only character with any distinct personality is that flower b*tch. ML has trauma, but he's way to back and forth, and not in an enjoyable way. It's like Author wants us to get doki dokis at some scenes, and then just excuses it as "ML runs hot and cold".

FL is the most irritating because she's at the very least 1 or 2 hundred years old, but she DOESN'T act like it. She's also somehow both incredibly powerful yet ALWAYS being defeated or saved by ML, and sometimes the story will try and explain why she lost, but it always feels like such a cop out.

This all makes the plot seem incredibly boring, because in the grand scheme of the story, they got married, fought 2nd in commands yokai, went to capital, and that's it. Like, ML also has like zero motivation, at first he wants to avoid politics and then he throws it away for fl?? Even for love at first sight that's a ridiculous thing to do. Sister needs to be healed but she has a baby, ok, why can't they, idk, fake sisters death and leave the capital? They stay, and they're like I need a reason to stay, and somehow her reviving snow magic is enough of a reason?

Also the like, suspense behind the king and his followers doesn't even work, cause it's just them standing around smirking and looking hot.

There's nothing pushing the reader to want to uncover the plots or follow the characters.

Again, I know there are worst stories, but idk, I always can at least handle shitty basic stories because they all follow tropes and those tropes work, even if they are basic. Like they use a basic character and at least it's a full character just kinda basic and boring, FL and ML just feel like pretty designs doing things without any logic or reasoning


Even MLs trauma isnt very fleshed out because it's like it's there one moment and gone the next.

I know there is a novel, but I haven't read it or seen spoilers, But I really really hope FL can show off how amazing she is. I love this type of steadfast determined Fl
