This is so painful to read. The premise is interesting enough to warrant a few minutes of attention, though it leaves a lot of room for improvement when it comes to the story itself and the descriptions. The author skips a lot of details to focus only on the bullying that our non-magical commoner MC and her subpar reactions to them. The MC capitalizing on her skills as a dancer to aid in the battlefield as a support may be a good area to focus on but instead the author... more>> made the MC a doormat to everyone that proceeds to make her life worse. The storytelling is all over the place with the only constant being that the MC has a scent fetish. Even the training arc for the hero selection is only mentioned for around a chapter or two before getting buried under all the harassment.

Oh, did I tell you that the MC is a DOORMAT?!

You lured me in a trap to get me r*ped in exchange for more votes? You cried so I forgive you.

You only save me when I'm in a dire situation just so people can call you a saintess? You're my roommate so I forgive you.

What's this? A toxic relationship with a noble girl whose fetish is breaking people down to satisfy her urge to dominate? You smell good so I forgive you.

I swear she might as well kneel down and worship whoever beats her up and puts her in a half-dead state. Oh wait, she has to because they're blackmailing her that they'd do the same to her saintess roommate if she doesn't cooperate.

At this point she should stop applying in the hero selection and aim to be a punching bag instead. Seriously, it's not healthy for anyone to go through all of that.

A romance story that goes through a couple tonal shifts from the beginning to the end. I genuinely like the relationship between the main two heroines, and there wasn't a single character in the story I disliked by the end of it--except for the one guy you are supposed to dislike. The only real issue I can see is how it glosses over minor scenes to keep the plot moving. This problem doesn't affect the story, but it can be jarring and requires the reader to ignore those holes. One other thing that isn't a problem but does bear mentioning is how open the story is about s*x. It isn't a p*rn novel, but they openly talk about erections, m*sturbation, and other thing. Also the MCs have a scent fetish and leg fetish respectively. Not a problem for me, and it does tone this part down as the story continues, but there will be people who won't want to read it as a result.

After reading summary, I'm little excited to read it. But after reading first chapter, I immediately facing the kind of plot that I don't like. I bear with it in hope maybe the upcoming chapter would be interesting. But, after build enough background story in the chapter 2, I can imagine the possibility of the upcoming plots and it's not suit to my tastes. Idk, this series good or bad, since I just read 9 chapters just to fullfil my curiosity. And yup, it's not suit my tastes.
