I was so hyped to see a woman as the lead in a shonen-esque, action-packed series.
MC is very hot and cold. (No, not FL or Female Lead because that would imply this is first and foremost a romance book but from what I understand this is NOT. It might have romance in it but it's not an important part of the narrative nor does the plot hinge on it therefore, no, this is not a romance.) I love when she's cold, calculating and crazy but when she's loud as fuck and aggressive it just...it looks so stupid.
I can't stand her fellow teammate that she, the MC, unceremoniously followed home. At least I understand why the teammate is scared shitless of MC (and also exasperated at being forced to live with a psychotic asshole) but dear fucking god this teammate is a loud, obnoxious coward, too.
The next "important" character we meet is a man. A famous S-rank hunter and he immediately reveals himself to be an arrogant fucboi. Unfortunately, he's who MC goes on adventures with.
MC is A-rank now but hasn't changed her ID from C-rank. This means she can go to jail for not correctly identifying her rank.
The S-rank is there because he 1.) Belongs to a guild and thus is able to take her into a dungeon. No one can enter dungeons without a guild. They certainly can't enter one well above their rank.
2.) For Reasons™ MC wants to keep her new rank hidden. She needs help to do that.
His "teasing" is unbearably juvenile. He also dismissed MC's legitimate questions and concerns as "whining" when she has not once done anything that can remotely be called that.
Ugh. He better not be a love interest.
And then he has the audacity to use MC as his fake girlfriend. Without MC's consent, just so he can stop his physically aggressive (for zero reasons) sister from being pointlessly nosy and controlling him. (I dunno dude, grow a pair?) His entire personality is basically nails on chalkboard. Irritating.
Did I mention his bizarre sister whose physical abuse of him is played off for laughs? I love physical comedy but this ain't it.
Your sob story doesn't give you the excuse to hurt others around you...unless they were your abuser. MC has that right to kill her abuser.
This woman who came out of nowhere to pick a pointless fight with MC does NOT. She's, for all intents and purposes, just lashing out at the world. Being an S-rank this bitch has likely already killed innocent people. The MC has definitely NOT, at this point.
She was all set to kill her own brother. That's not a joke or exaggeration. Because she can't control him anymore she was going to kill him.
Dumbass brother, of course, protects his sister even though he was whining earlier that she was suffocating him.
MC, thankfully, pointed out his hypocrisy. Repeatedly. Back to back. It was not as satisfying as it could be but I'll take it.
This S-rank brother and sister needs to fuck all the way off.
