For me, I like more development of her achievement to this moment. And a new problem to handle, not something dramatic that stemming from the past. Also the truth about her sudden reincarnation, some new rival would do good. But I don't want something from the past duchess to be brought up again, since it's already made clear once the head maid being punished that it has nothing to do with her ever again. Problem with the producing heirs is also good *wink wink*
I think I kind of get what you’re saying and I agree. I know that the main character knows what injustices have been done to the Duchess since she read a book about her, but it’s tiring seeing her dealing with the same problems time and time again. It would be interesting to see a scene in which her servants rise up or protest against her because of the constant fear for their own lives or the drastic measurements the Duchess is going to.
I’m hoping that the topic of her ruthlessness with those who wronged her in the past gets brought up. While it may seem reasonable, it feels like she’s going overboard. Something just feels off to me. I don’t like how she’s portrayed as this character who could do no wrong and who everyone eventually loves once they meet her and try her tea. It feels too superficial in that aspect.
I do love the development of her relationship with the Duke, and especially the Duke’s character development. For her though, it’s just the same story repeated over and over: people don’t like tea and look down on her, then try the tea, are blown away, and love and respect her. If they don’t respect her, they get embarrassed by her. It gets boring whenever there are tea scenes now just because I know that’s how it will always go.
