I really hope this is not gonna disappoint me later on, but so far it's so refreshing. Like the sisterhood?! It's amazing?? Not just a needed change from the 'the protagonists are actually the wicked villains in disguise' trope, but also women wanting for other women to stand on their own feet instead of having to rely on any male counterpart? I loved Yurika so much when she expressed that. (And besides how cool is it regardless, to casually have a sister that's dating the crown prince while you're dating a war hero mage?? And instead of any competition these girls are just working as a sibling dream team) And Yurika seems legit smart, beyond just the "I know the future so I can predict everything and build my empire based on that", making actual decisions inside the world about things that she couldn't have known without finding clues within that world. May be a bit mary sue, but I love our detective Yurika~ Also we love ourselves a ML who understands consent and self-regulation. It also seems like legit respects her as a whole and actually values her opinion, working with her in her plans rather than yet another classic trope of hiding plans from one another or trying to cage away the other because of the feared danger. They make a great team btw. The MC x ML dynamic is also where I'm worried the most thatit might shift the most later on, like in so many stories before, so fingers crossed that the dynamic holds up
