Maybe I am judging too soon, but the moment I saw Demon King in chapter 8 I bounced. I was suffocated by the amount of cliche tropes.Evil family members with no brains, who hate MC for no apparent reason? - Fine.North Duke, who is personification of perfection and has a curse that only MC can break? - Alright.Everyone thinks ML is ugly bc he is mysterious and hides his appearance? - Okay.MC pledging her alliance to Emperor whom she met like three secs ago when previously she had been mistreated by her family and any normal human being would have trust issues? - Completely illogical, but whatever.Getting kicked out of her family without penny after saying one wrong word, where all her family members lack brains, money, physical power. - hmm.Demon King is waking up? - no.MC is probably on spectrum or just plain dumb, I genuinely have no idea how her brain works. I was so frustrated while reading her inner monologue.Like you are grown ass woman who stayed by Emperor's side, in the thick of political goings, for a what? a decade? How is your brain so smooth?I need to awaken as a sword master, for that I need to fight a monster. Monsters are mostly in place A (near ml) or place B. I am directionally challenged and won't be able to find them, so I can't break off relationship with my toxic family. What?The handsome, kind, talented Duke is going to propose to me, but I don't feel like seeing him just because.What do I do? I need to awaken.???And it is like... three? chapters going on about it.
