Omg! This book is so dumb! The author is just throwing things at the walls to see what will stick. I don't think I've ever read a book that made so little sense.

250 pages in and not a HINT of a coherent plot. Honestly, at this point I'm just reading to see if one ever emerges. I'm giving it a 40% chance of improving from this big ball of bad banter and ridiculous violence.

40% in and this book is astoundingly nonsensical. Nothing is explained. The FMC is surprisingly uncurious based on the tidbits the MMC is dropping. There is a "quest" that doesn't make a lick of sense. The book is told in a series of repetitive scenes that consist of the FMC being angry and lustful and the MMC being arrogant and lustful. Surely something interesting will happen soon.

The author has decided not to explain anything and not have the FMC ask obvious questions like why the emperor is trying to take her back to his kingdom? Just no curiosity whatsoever.
I assume it supposed to be a big reveal or plot twist later but this is not the way. It just feels lazy and she's leaving out critical information.

This book is COMPLETELY nonsensical at the point. Nothing has been explained: the magic, the politics, the war. The FMC has been given a "quest" that makes no sense. And there is (as always) an over-abundance of parentheticals and strike-through text.
