It's a story that would have been ok had it been released at the very least 10 years ago. The leads have the same relationship dynamics from '00s/ early '10s where the FL could have been replaced with a cute plushie the ML could dump all their emotional baggage and grow from it. And the FL was never developed nor useful at all. Like quite literally Zay is as a person, useless. She's a catalyst but that's not what a MC should be. When they go against the bad guy, for some reason she rides all the way to Aseph only to put herself in danger and so getting Aseph injured. She's not even good at that! In the end I ended up liking more the Prince and Elissa.
But one thing I didn't quite like was how childish Elissa was. And that's when I remembered they both are way too young and never fully prepared for anything. Elissa found herself empress when her character doesn't show any aptitude for the role. And Zay is practically a highschooler that cried so much for her idol and got transported to their world. It gave girls shaving their hair thinking Justin Bieber had cancer vibes.
I guess, my biggest issues were 1. The return of the weak, pure FL 2. The infantilization of the two main female characters.
