"What should I aim for from now on? What is my goal?"
"What should I do and learn to become a mage?"
WHAT IS MY GOAL???! This was literally my biggest fear regarding Isabelle's character. Does this girl have any ambition? Any goals before she met the MC? Any reason she wanted to desperately be strong? So far in the story not ONCE have they explained or even forshadowed what Isabelle's goal is. All we know is that she's a talented studious character who has an important relative.
Why is she acting like being Frey is the only conceivable way she can become strong? Is it because she's a fan of him? She had a life BEFORE she met Frey! Why were even you enrolled in the academy in first place if you didn't have the already answers to these questions in mind?
Maybe I'm jumping the gun here and misinterpreting what she means. I really REALLY hope she means that there was a specific reason why she must become strong fast and efficiently, and Frey is her best option. Hopefully she already has a personal goal that she hasn't revealed yet...... hopefully.

"It's a commoner food, don't over do it", Wtf do they think is gonna happen when they eat it?? Commoners drink water too, will the nobles stop drinking it because commoners do too? Woooow look at her, she's so brave for sacrificing herself to try the sweet potato

My thoughts exactly. We all breath and shit the same, what the hell is their problem? Like of course there are things commoners can’t afford to eat or drink. And maybe there are things commoners eat that isn’t as good just to sustain themselves and of course the wealthy don’t eat that then because they can afford better things. But come on they behave like it will turn them into frogs if consumed

What he did was equivalent to rejecting a girl you don't like and falling for a completely different person since their personality is more attractive and suited to you. Yeah, the way he rejected her before was rude as hell but don't forget... Alphonse wasn't exactly prince charming either.
He ignored Chloe, didn't care for her or her needs until the switch happened. He was a bystander. Are they really so different? Alphonse had close proximity to her and a contract marriage already in place, so he ended up liking her first. That's it, he lucked out and essentially won the romance lottery.
All that being said, the prince needs to respect that Chloe is a married woman and he missed his chance.

I've come to a point where I'm waaaaay more invested in her booming business than her romance. Whenever she makes good business move I'm hyped. I laugh a little when the Prince and Alphonse act immature and slow her momentum down. Get your bread sis.

I've seen people complain about the lack of romance/no baby/same ol business formula, but honestly that's why I've stuck around for so long and am still excited for every new chapter. Romance and families are fine, and I have no doubt that Chloe will get more of that later on, but I really like what she has now. I love me a passionate, career driven female main character.

Exactly!! I want to see more tea products, I want to see her expand her business, reinvent her products, find medicinal use, and disrupt the tea market in another country. At this point, I feel like the romance is an addition to the interesting part of this story: THE BUSINESS! We love an entrepreneur

I really wish this story had well written female characters!! Isabelle's potential is essentially wasted. She may have intelligence but we never get to see her display her skills in a meaningful way. She's getting tutored by the MC, but why? What does tutoring her do to progress the story? How does that help the MC with his goal of defeating the Demigod??
She sticks her nose into Frey's business when she has no right to, and NO REASON TO (Like on Frey's date!! You barely know the guy?? Mind your business). She feels like an out of place cheer leader, the lack of importance in her presence prevents me from feeling invested in her in any way. Having her save the MC in the recent chapter helped a bit but it's not going to replace 40 chapters worth of character development!
Come to find out, SHE'S BARELY IN THE NOVEL!! No wonder she felt like a flat character!
I thought I was being too harsh, but after reading these comments, I'm glad to see that I wasn't alone.

i didnt know this is adapted from a novel so thanks for the info about isabelle. i felt like her character was flat too.
i thought when frey said he's showing isabelle the battling technique we can see her trying it too and you know, give her to the potential to also achieve 9-star but NOPE. She's just sitting there, looking at frey instead
Did she forget she's the doctor? It reminds me of the same running gag in One Piece
When a doctor calls other doctors because are usually bringing equipment well the doctor isn’t equipped right then in this situation to help with anything complicated
They were just pretending and this one is legit hahahaha nurse Nami ho find a nurse hahaah
