I think I kinda hate the princess? Like I get she's a child herself and they're going to be... frustrating, but at first she HATED having the MC as a fiancé due to his disability and okay fine, she's a child with a forced fiancé and it doesn't really seem like they have social talks about how to treat people with disabilities in their society. I blame that treatment more on the people raising her. Like she should have been taught some things like not to be scared and put off by the MC. But then the MC had a personality shift and she was charmed by him and ever since then she's become so possessive and easily jealous. There's something I don't like about her current feelings on their relationship and how she started. Like there was never a major shift in her way of thinking or "I was wrong" or at least not focused on enough to be remembered. And now we have scenes like this where she doesn't want him to get rid of his disability (or learn more ways to counterbalance it with magic) so she feels... needed? And that one panel of her acting like she's mad over the royal magician/teacher not knowing if the MC can pull it off also rubs me the wrong way. Like on several levels both because how could he know that for certain and why are you of all people getting mad now? Also I'm starting to see why she annoys me. If everyone around her is like the Knight then she's been getting heavily enabled. Yes our actions matter more, but I still wouldn't almost encourage really awful thoughts like he did.

He didn't encourage her thoughts. She acknowledged those were bad thoughts and he did too. All he did was tell her not to linger on the bad thoughts and focus instead on good action. That's how you deal with intrusive thoughts in real life too.

If you were to ask me, the princess is improving a lot. She has accepted our MC's situation and is now working on her own flaws. I'm looking forward to see how she develops as a character.

Lol, this is the the result of the second 2 year skip and the kid doesn’t look like he’s aged more than a month. He started as an 8 year old and he’s now twelve. Those should not look the same.

Also, virtually no clarifications on what he’s learned, some mention of “more complexity”, but without really showing anything significant to prove it.

It’s honestly taking me out of it. Like the concept of the story is cool, and the magic system has SO MUCH potential, but they kinda focused on blitzing past his learning process to put him in a state capable of doing the magic he’s been seeking to achieve.

So now what? Now that he’s got his vision + spirit sight, what’s the deal with the story?
Is the story about him flexing his godly genius-kun skills with his added insight on magic with his fiancée working on proving herself as worthy of his love? Like, that’d be really boring.

Mangaka frequently fail to present actual growth because struggle apparently doesn’t seem to sell well( but it’s what makes for great cliffhangers!!!). Even though it’s what makes growth believable and what makes it feel human. Even though that’s the characteristic that makes all the good manga appealing. I guess that’s what happens when you don’t actually research the topic you’re writing/drawing about.

Its a classic case of skipping the journey to reach the endpoint, but because of really bad writing, it doesn’t feel like he’s actually changed all that much? Like, have we ever really seen him inconvenienced by his lack of eyesight? If not, then the manga has nothing to really call back to to tug at emotional heartstrings for how much this changes things for him.

Oh no. He can see. Now he's just generic op isekai protagonist #654964168479 instead of being blind op isekai protagonist #2.
He lost his uniqueness.

he's still blind. as can be seen from this chapter, what he sees isn't actually what normal people see.

i think it's not as simple as "he can see like normal people, and more", but "he sees different things entirely". granted, most of the time the two overlaps, but not always
