The first arc finished and I think that’s pretty solid. But for me, the real test is what comes after. Not sure how I feel about the second arc yet lol

Ok I just read the first arc

spoiler

I was really enjoying it all, but the finale was so dumb it killed a lot of my enjoyment, I mean, this kind of finale could have worked in theory, but too many elements worked against it to kill my suspension of disbelief. First, the king being there was an absolute overkill, there is no way a marquis son, regardless of how stupid he is, would simply interrupt the king. Then there is how little respect he showed towards the king, there were zero gestures towards them, and his breaking of the engagement was too sloppy, like him asking the king to condemn the protagonist for adultery.... that she supposedly did with the prince. He said that with a smile on his face but he was essentially accusing the prince of adultery. I feel the finale would have worked better if it was handled between students with the prince as a witness or something, if it was going to involve the king no matter how stupid Romeo is he should have some kind of education, at least an ounce, there is no way he can just treat a king that way?

That's about the arc finale specifically, but I did like the rest a lot, the protagonist attitude towards money, her plans, her being so proficient with handling business, etc.
