What is the point of exploring and ripping apart the whole generic concept of the main female protagonist always needing to be saved like mario to peach, if at the end she still needs the MC's help to save her from the troubling misogynist love interests? And this question is also directed to the most current chapter, her needing to be saved from a kidnapping incident. It would've been nice for her to grow a backbone towards the middle and be upfront about her thoughts her own way. Instead, it's always the MC that's taking her glory from speaking up. MC teaching the protagonist that it's fine to voice her own frustrations to the men? Good, teach her that at the start. And yet it's still the MC doing all the talking. Okay, whatever. But she then needs to be saved again by the MC? Could the author not give a bit leg room for the protagonist to fight back instead of moping around and falling into the same hole once again? What has witnessing multiple times of MC standing up for oneself in the beginning even taught her, if it only amounted her to this sort of state? At the end, I'm not sure if this story was satisfactory in the right way. Sure, MC is being blunt and cutting ties from nasty people. That's satisfying. But what about the protagonist? She's practically the center piece in one of the reasons why this story is different from the rest. And you could give me a lot of excuses involving her hands being tied by politics, men, magic, whatever. But it's not like the author can't write it differently, so what gives? I can only remember just a few instance where the blondie talked honestly to the men, but then it switches back to the MC doing the talking once again. So, is blondie supposed to be treated as one of the possible love interest for MC, or is she something more meaningful?
