I like the saintess because she fits that roll with her lofty ideals and no real work behind it. It’s like watching the dissection of a Mary Sue savior type. Rather than her being a “fake nice girl” I really like the take on “delusional nice girl”. It makes sense in this world where she was born lucky and loved by everyone she would turn out believing everything will go her way.
I do hope they explain the strange reactions of all her love interests and the people around her. I think there’s magic at play BUT I don’t think the saintess is causing it intentionally. I think it has something to do with her “belief”. She believes that things will turn out alright in the end and it does. She believes that everyone loves her and they do.
Ali pointed out in a previous chapter that the saintess hasn’t really learned proper control of her abilities. So I wonder if that’s what’s happening here. Her overflowing power is affecting the world around her and some people aren’t because of some level of lack of affinity with magic. Or they have an awareness of something weird going on.
Either way, I like how annoying she is. And I like her dynamic with Ali because I think she can become a really interesting character later if they continue to develop her
