So if you want a cute light read stick with the front end of the series and don't bother with the part it tries to get serious because its not very goodIt really started going downhill through the actual war arc and the results of the Asahi story but even then its about an average at 3. The final straw was everything about their marriage.Lots of things were contradictory or counter to how characters are motivated. There are some plot conviniences that are not too bothersome at the start but stick out like a sore thumb later when things are just bent to the will of what the author wants to do.In the first place, the ML Jade is basically exactly like Asahi but this isnt addressed at all. In the tags on the novel it says yandere, but it really comes out of nowhere. Even though hes acting like Asahi and behaves obsessed and possessive, its described as fluff addiction, it still doesnt warrant what happens when the actually become a couple. And my favorite part, the fairies, basically started being inaffective in the story despite them being why Ruri is OP. And the whole fairy-mon part where she gathered up contracts with fairies got very tiresome.I feel like the story loses focus. It was a charming story about an intelligent young lady finding her freedom and new world after toxic "friendship", possibly finding love, and discovering the possibly dark brewing of war with cute but menacing fairies... To a sloggish mess!!
