The rating is too harsh. It's not a bad story. The first arc seems pretty bad as the FL is probably too generous and kind to a fault for many people and the ML challenging her with ill intention at first, but the arc gets better later on.Spoiler
FL loved Bright but Bright love her sister. The FL sacrificed herself for her sister's sake going into the deadly miasma land and managed to survived thanks to a holy sword's help and her unique constitution. Our ML, Llyod, Bright's son goes to miasma land to acquire the holy sword, challenged FL, and asked her to teach him magic so he can claimed to holy sword later on. Guess what, FL agreed to teach him magic, despite knowing his intention.
[collapse]As they interact further, ML's ill intention slowly faded and changed into something like affection and admiration.I heard about the story just drags, and well it kinda is but it's not like there's no progress. The reason why it feels like dragging because the author went extra length describing the character emotional exchange as detailed as possible and there are multiple POVs too.The progress in this novel isn't much about ML learning magic, but about the emotional change and interaction between character, especially between ML and FL. ML slowly change his view towards FL and try to discover her past while FL is battling her inner battle because ML is very similar to the person she once loved. I feel the writing is very well done in that part.
