Lauvil's manga / #Gender bender(23)

This had so much potential but unfortunately fell flat very quickly. All the male characters (and potential love interests) are selfish people who try to rob the FL of agency and it's framed like a positive. As if the FL should be happy to be a bouncing ball and something for the male characters to compete for and fight over. The crown prince is a selfish tyrant, who upon discovering that the FL got some attention during the entrance ceremony, immediately singled her out as his bullying victim. Only when she literally risks her life for him does he change his tune. But even as he falls for the FL, it should not be forgotten that at his core he's selfish, petty and cruel. Second ML is Kyle (the magician) who discovers the FL's secret immediately and uses it to blackmail her for his own amusement. He objectifies her and see her solely as entertainment. Even if he is developing feelings for her, that is still the kind of person he is. I finally saw hope when the third ML was introduced in the form of fiance Ricky. Here was someone who knew her, was aware of her gender and who seemed caring and interested in her. However, he immediately tried to control her and make her leave the academy as if he had more right to decide for her than her own parents. So, my hopes were instantly crushed... So, all our options suck and with the amount of times the story has already robbed the FL of agency I don't expect any improvements. Sigh...
