finally, a villainess manga where not only is she actually villainous, but there is an interesting discussion of idealism vs realism. author is way more knowledgable about the political economy than the average author and it serves the story so well. character designs are pretty solid as well. our two female leads are great and fun to see battle, side characters are interesting too. i will not drop spoilers but the author is a master of foreshadowing. worldbuilding is a bit weak, it focuses more on philosophical discussion of problems than actual things happening. best manga ive read in a while tbh.
