I hate the author for forgetting things for the sake of romance. Whenever the author does it it makes the MC look stupid.
I'm only going to focus on the MC for now so: Whenever something happens and one of the male leads is there MC magically forgets how to use her magic right. For example: jumping from the rooftop on the missions with long-hair-guy. She could have used floating magic but instead screams of fear.
Or her as Snowballen getting exposed as a browns daughter from Cory and the long-hair-guy. She used her signature as barons daughter when Snowballen is a big shot in the magic technology? And didn't expect Cory to know?? That's somehow very questionable and it just makes the MC looks stupid. Cory could have found out by seeing how she uses magic or by how she explained to repair something and it would have been the same effect but rather her not being portrayed as someone stupid enough to use the same signature when knowing who her secret identity is.
But also when she waited in that room and it got hot - what about magic to cool you off, opening the windows or looking why it was hot?? No she just waits and of course gets exposed since she took her cloak off, before the backstabbing and sly male lead she KNEW ABOUT comes to meet her.
Yet somehow her grades and magic knowledge and swordsmanship are fantastic AND she has a shop/guild that she owns? It feels more like the male leads have these strong attributes (Cory in magic, crown prince in swordsmanship, lang-haired-guy in Guild and business) and she just has them to actually have a connection point with the make leads. It doesn't feel like these attributes were made for her as a character for me.

The mc as a character should be so much more fun and interesting to see if she actually would have gotten own attributes and intelligence she seems to have. The author conveniently forgets she has so much with her and is smart just for the sake of romance. This makes the MC look more stupid than she looks and makes me actually stop reading at points because of how weird it is to see her not use something when she clearly can. I really need the author to actually write down what their characters can and use the things even when it's "romantic" for the male leads to save her. Give my girl some smartness when it's needed ಠ︵ಠ
