Book 3 - Just when the MC of the previous novels started to be less of a whiny little crybaby, this series takes a turn and starts with a completely new arc with completely new characters and a new MC. And this one is even more whiny than the last one. It's unbearable, and I've dropped it after a third of the volume. I assume those plotlines would cross somewhere down the line, but I really can't suffer through the rest of the volume.

<The Otome Heroine’s Fight for Survival> Volume 6 - I have always been a fan of Alia, but coming from Twelve Kingdoms before makes her the perfect palate cleanser. If I had to rank her right now, I would put her at number 2 after Myne. The volume itself was a nailbiter, and the cliffhanger is superb. I can't wait for the next one.

Vol. 3 - It follows the same MO as the first two volumes. 95% boring build-up just for MC unleashing for a bit at the end. It's getting really boring.
