If I have to sum up this novel in a single sentence it would be "The main character is exhausting to watch." Or read, in this case. Story started alright but the problems with the author's writing shows up early and gets worse as the novel progresses. I really don't like it when the author writes in short sentences and barely describes anything but this novel is on the opposite of that spectrum in a REALLY bad way. So much unnecessary rambling and monologues from the MC, sporadic POV switches, repetitive and convoluted paragraphs, it gets so annoying after 100+ chapters.As for the MC, I wouldn't say she's not intelligent but rather she is not very wise. There's a running gag in the novel where she would speak out her inner monologue, effectively embarrassing herself as the people around her point it out. It was amusing the first time but the author inserts this joke at least once every 3 or 4 chapters. She gets forcefully roped or tricked into doing things she doesn't want to do a lot of times too it's honestly annoying to watch.The MC loses her backbone completely when dealing with the aristocrats she is close with and her band of friends composed of very young girls. They demand things from the MC and get jealous of each other as well, when MC does something for GirlA, then GirlB or GirlC will demand the same thing from MC or ask for something much better to one up each other. Along the way, MC tells them that using a specific skill of hers uses up her life force and they would show concern for her but whenever they want something from MC they conveniently forget about this issue.If you don't like stories where the MC works hard for other people's sake and gets rewarded by being disrespected and bossed around by her peers then don't bother reading this novel. Literally the only group of people who actually respects the MC is the servants or the commoners.Other than those things and the author's obsession with loli characters I don't have a problem with anything else and it's a pretty standard kingdom building isekai, brings nothing new and not different compared with the other similar novels I've read. There's s*upid logic here and there but that's a staple in this genre.
