This feels like when a little kid uses tracing paper to make a picture. It looks okay when it’s on top of the original piece, but once you peel the tracing paper away, it doesn’t hold up on its own. There’s a lack of depth in both characterization and world-building. And why is the MC getting handed all of her wins? Takes the fun out of trials to have someone else beat them for her.
