There isn't a good way to put it but overall it's kinda mid. Throughout the story when there is a need for actual logic or a coherent plot, the author just pulls something out of their ass and calls it a day.
Like I laughed when " blood neutralizes poison" is the best thing the author could come up with as the ultimate evidence. It doesn't even make sense and doesn't prove anything about not needing test subjects, if you test it on yourself and it neutralizes then what's the point of testing. And also who tf tests poison on random street cats? They should keep the test subjects hidden and disposed of properly, no? The prince ordering people to get the cats in the garden also doesn't make sense. Tf he wants healthy cats for bruh.
The prince is also stupid as hell. His 2 brain cells are fighting for 2nd place in that brain of his. Only knows how to hate the clade family even though removing the clade family would cause a lot of problems. Hates the clade family who isn't even bothering him more than those stupid greedy nobles who have it out for him. Atp I doubt he can even do his job as a king. If I was in the clade family I would pack up, leave and let him deal with the consequences. Good for him that he eventually became an ally after like 100 chapters but really? It took 100 chapters to finally acknowledge that the clade family is even slightly beneficial to the kingdom? Maybe he really only has 1 brain cell fighting for 2nd place.
Also the characters are not well written. The mc's personality is flat and the transitions between her moods are not smooth. The author writes it like as long as mc has a reason to be happy, she can suddenly be happy even after a long period of doubting, but obviously that's not realistic (this applies to other characters too). She is not protagonist material at all and I think we can all say that dad and son are the ones carrying this story.
