The stupidity just hold of the king and the higher ups
Yeah you're right, I didn't think anything of it when I did it but it is a bit weird/over used eh?Kind of weird seeing the description calling Angelica's powers "cheat-level" there. I get that it's the "common vernacular," but she's also defined right from the start as a True Ancestor vampire -- powers beyond all reason or anyone else living are kind of their whole deal.
Well, after many of those "cheat-level" isekai mc, anything that come close to power way higher above anyone else is considered a cheat power nowadays, it become the standard on almost any new to use "cheat" as something of power beyond all reason. Most people after any cheat ability isekai mc know what define "cheat" is but anybody can argue that a cheat can beat a true ancestor vampire, even if it is powerful beyond all reason.Kind of weird seeing the description calling Angelica's powers "cheat-level" there.

My point was more around the fact that the concepts of power that True Ancestors possess has an older chronological stamp than "cheat-level" in terms of story telling.Well, after many of those "cheat-level" isekai mc, anything that come close to power way higher above anyone else is considered a cheat power nowadays, it become the standard on almost any new to use "cheat" as something of power beyond all reason.

No more with the wording of "extremely powerful", "only one of the highest power", "the most powerful way above anyone", "powerful beyond all and reason" or "way powerful that anyone that is powerful", those wording is simplified to "cheat-like power" now, indicating said one is powerful way beyond anyone else by unimaginable margin and (almost) nobody can come close to.
Ohh, I thought it was like you call out the use of cheat level power in the context of generalization.My point was more around the fact that the concepts of power that True Ancestors possess has an older chronological stamp than "cheat-level" in terms of story telling.

They are typically arrognant and entitled, leading to foolish actions, but this is to an extra level.same as typically noble... foolish as always..
Exactly, totally agreeSo far, I like Angelica. She, her butler and her lady-in-waiting are absolute cardboard cut-out generic, but I have a soft spot for imperious undead noblewomen. I like how she addressed the kinglette. However I don't like the over-done trope of showing us how "cool" the FMC is by just making her opponents extremely stupid, like decebrate levels of dumb. If any ruling monarch were this stupid they'd be dead already. Surviving at Court was a skill unto itself. I would have been happier if he was a scheming backstabber type who's only downfall was his own hubris.
