Aishira (sequel heroine)

The prince realizes he's in love with Tiararose and... she rejects him immediately for the LI (high spec prince). Although I don't particularly feel that it was wrong of her to reject him but, I can also say that it was somewhat unrealistic. She has been with him most of her life then because of this incident she quickly went to another guy. I seriously felt bad for the prince rather than for the protagonist and the LI because there was no emotional attachment towards anything but to the new LI. Best part though. was there are cute scenes of dating... yay?

Firstly, the villain from the first arc suddenly becomes BFF's with the MC for no reason. On top of that, in the second arc there's no real antagonist. The girl who is the 'love rival' isn't even evil, so it just feels like a waste of time. The worst thing she does is almost speaking up to disrupt the MC's wedding. But the side characters stop her in legit one second and nothing even happens. Honest to god, I would've welcomed her destroying their wedding, because by that point I think I was brain-dead.

The story lacks character development and the plot is bland. The MC is quite toxic as the chapters go on. It's seems that as she becomes more in love with Prince Aquasteed (the names are ridiculous btw,) the more jealous and illogical she is. For example: when she met the sequel's heroine Aishira and noticed her kindness and lack of malice towards her, she had the audacity to think "It would be easier if she was like Akari." Akari was the heroine of the main game and was malicious during the first half. That left an extremely bad taste in my mouth. Then the story goes on to have Tiararose be blessed by the forest fae and king (apparently it was extremely rare to be, even the original heroine was not blessed by any spirit king/queen.) That made it cliché as heroines always seem to be OP. The drama in the story was pathetic as well, from going to argue with the actual spirit queen of the sea over some of the loss of her sweets to befriending the sky king and making the sea queen jealous, which almost caused the destruction of the entire marineforest. What I find ironic, was that the out of all the characters, ranging from Akari to the sea queen, the one I actually hate the most was the main character herself. Tiararose was incredibly toxic, jealous and insecure despite being raised by a doting family for a good amount of time, and despite the constant love and assurance of Aquasteed, she still manages to nitpick every problem and be overcome with grief.

The only source of character development that I found was in Akari. She went from a spiteful villain hiding behind her heroine halo to a caring friend that was supportive, which was surprising. Aishira was a good addition because she truly was a good person that had realised her love for Aquasteed too late. Although I was disappointed when she almost stopped the wedding because of her realisation for her feelings, she still recognised her mistake and repented thanks to the help of Akari. Prince Aquasteed was your typical loving prince, the difference being that he didn't have a solid reason for loving Tiararose. I find it difficult to understand how someone can fall in love just from looking at someone else's different facial expressions from reading a book. However, he is unwavering and supportive so kudos to him.

Tiararose is just so dumb and reckless, after everything she worked hard for, especially Aqua, she lost her friggin memories about the time she spent with her husband Aqua and I just kinda hate author-san for that so I'm waiting for more chapters, I need answers (> o <)
