Hmm I just...

I don't find her appealing as the main lead character, and instead find other characters more interesting. Don't get me wrong I love the mangas where the anti hero/villain is a main character, but they usually have the charisma to pull me in to loving them. And the wrongs that they do being brushed over like they had to massacre so many ppl and be pk with it or trick everyone into thinking they are saving them lol. Im kinda waiting for her to fail epically kind of instead. I feel like she's on a high horse that she doesn't necessarily deserve and thinks her power is so OP.

    Her power IS op and did u not see her struggling to believe that she was a reliable source for her team bro + shes questioning herself most if not all the time but I get it in the way that I also want to see her actually fumble

    She isn't on a high horse, she's being crushed by her own expectations. Sayeon appears confident because that's necessary for her plans as a leader. She's struggling real hard about decision making and her power makes everything harder cuz now she has the tool for trial and error

    I think she is my favorite main character I have read in a longggggg time. Not to mention she is a girl yet that fact isn’t constantly thrown in your face with her aesthetics, her attention is not at all directed to romantic or sexual interests, she isn’t gawked at, she isn’t OP with physical strength or power from the start…no her power is OP because of the “unlimited” opportunity for her to learn from failure and she is inherently alone in that experience which is jarring and it exacerbates her tendencies towards introversion and being overly reliant on logistics instead of emotional intuition and empathy…i think that’s why she wasn’t able to anticipate the error in the last iteration of her strategy

    Thanks for sharing your opinions. I still stick by mine as well. I never said she was a bad character, I said as the main character I don't find her catching my interest as she should. Its nothing against her being a girl (never brought that up). I actually like when the main character is a girl and it isn't centered around her being a damsel that has to be saved and fall in love with her knight in shining armor, and there should be more manga like that in my opinion. That part is written well. I understand some aspects of her character that makes her good.

    My focus on her fall is the aspect of when she gets to an arc and understands she needs to rely and trust more. A big concept of her character states "my team trust me, that's why they made me the leader" when that concept is not true, they don't trust her, (going to use colors since I forget the name sometimes, grey works for her sister, blond treats her as a friend but still has some conservation regarding what she does, red (character I really like) follows what she says (to a point) but not because she feels like she has her back, but to work with the team. She "trust them" as much as they "trust her" in regards to working as a team and I would like to see the arc where she either develops and realizes that she has a community/friendship in this kind of world (depending on grey in the future since he's a spy) or an arc where she is the anti hero/villian and she rules a faction under her control, since Idk where this manga is going.

    And regarding her power it is strong, as long as she doesn't get knocked out like Red did or some plot twist comes up where someone can cancel out or affect her power to rewind, or something goes horribly wrong she can't fix. would like to see that since it would be more growth and now she has to pivet. If I didn't like the story I would just not read it or comment, I'm just sharing my thought on her as a character.
