Although she has a lot of admirers, she isn’t wishy-washy and confronts them when she knows about their feelings.

ML does not suspect she’s a girl until around halfway through and then has time to think about if he would love her the same regardless of gender.

e.g.: the fact that the MC’s products sold so well in the capital is surprising given the lack of marketing. But later, they reveal that The prime minister’s daughter was helping out the whole time.

for instance, how she somehow murders the empress’ brother, is taken by the empress, kidnapped by the Voodoo doctor, develops Kuva (I hope this spelling is right. I sacrificed legibility in order to read the MTL) becomes the State Preceptor’s apprentice, introduces the civil exam, becomes the number one scholar, hunts down the voodoo village people, kills another village after hiding out there, and gets the 9 nails in her all within 1 — maximum 2 — years.

For example, the ML’s relative who had been r*ped and sold underground for a year would not be able to come back to normal society much less hold a man’s hand as quickly as they did. Especially with their ingrained thoughts about “purity” and “virginity”

for example, the author assumed that the s*aves would be United on a front and help each other even if it meant dying, but if that were the case, then they wouldn’t have watched their comrades die for all of those years. Also, history has shown that desperate people will turn on their comrades to protect themselves.
