Man, I'm really enjoying all the twists and turns the story has taken so far. Things have gotten very interesting with the inclusion of the merchants and now the temple. I really can't wait to see more about the nobles as well. Though I pray they would all just be cardboard villains who reek of entitlement. Considering the Chief priest was a relatively good guy, I think we are in good shape. That said...
It's kinda bizarre that when a girl finally gets into one of these 2nd wave Post-2010's Power Fantasy Isekai and it isn't some otome game reverse harem story, she's some kinda frail wilting flower whose OP Hyper mana capacity leaves her fate constantly in the hands of the people around her. If this was a guy, he'd probably just get a training montage and use his strong willpower to learn to shoot massive spells and either become a hero or a demon king, and while I don't really want to read THAT story for the 17th time... We have this girl who constantly sells herself short, gives away all her intellectual property at fractions of its value, and is constantly being fought over when she's not throwing tantrums over her fixation. I will say that her character evolved a lot from the whiny girl she was in the beginning, so I'll let the tantrums slide, but her intelligence is college aged, so I was a little shocked that a 20 year old was so immature.
