The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne Chapter 72 Discussion

I had a fun time reading the beginning part of this novel. While I did enjoy it in the beginning, the novel started to turn out bad as the story went on. It's plot is FILLED with holes that simply don't make sense. Loads of the scenes can all be seened as forced so that the plot would go in the authors wish.

Example, Spoiler

Around c70 the youngest princess gets kidnapped. The method of kidnap can be somewhat reasonable but the way it was written is absolutely horrendous. Elna and Christa (the princess) were invited to one of their enemies mothers who which they know uses magic forbidden in the Empire. Christa has the power to see the future somewhat and Elna knows this, that she gets kidnapped since Christa says that she sees her friend get killed in a hut. There is no hut in the royal castle so the only explaination is to get kidnapped or leave the castle with Rita.

DESPITE knowing all this, Elna leaves Christa alone and goes to the enemy's mother. How does that make any sense, she knew that she was tasked to protecting Christa as a kidnapping is going to happen. Despite knowing that Elna still chose to leave her alone. That makes zero sense and the character even says that after the kidnapping happens. Like what? I know its how the author wants the plot to go but it is INSANELY poorly executed and just was not a fun read afterward.

Some more relating facts to the kidnapping.

The person who guided Christa was a maid with blood on her clothing. Why would NO GUARD question her at all. Sure she said that the prince was injured but that makes no sense why the maid would go to christa who is like a 12 year old. That is just dumb.

Also the kidnapping was done in the merchant side of the castle and she was just kidnapped out in the open. Like how did none of the merchants notice that at all. When Elna arrived at the merchant side, it was said that a lot of people were shocked to see her there. That indigates that people were there, yet they didnt see a PRINCESS run in with a maid with bloody clothes get kidnapped.

Honestly speaking, I liked the start I really enjoyed the concept of a prince with an appearance contrary to his actual actions. However, the book is unreadable to me now. The book is just filled with WAY too many plot holes that I really just cant read it anymore. The only reason I gave this a 2/5 is because the start was fun to me. After that I dont think I could give this any higher than a 1/5. Seriously disappointed with how the plots were forced.
