One of my least favorite tropes that I need to shout out into the void:

Super cool and powerful female lead who’s known as all-powerful. However, she suddenly dies or switches body with a super weak girl and she can’t use any of her previous strength.

Like, why even say she’s super powerful when she isn’t super powerful for the majority of the story??

    I GET YOUUU !! i get so frustrated with plots like this bc now she needs to rely on a man even tho she used to be powerful enough to kick asses without other people’s help…
