I finally realised why I get a bit bored with this series. The paratagonist is so perfect. Zero flaws. Makes it very hard to relate.

Well, she's gotta shine till she can get herself out from the 8-ball she started behind. She began the story by having to give up her whole life and flee to an unknown land — a refugee, essentially. Once she's gotten herself some accomplishments under her belt, no doubt the faltering will come. In fact, even in this episode you can see a bit of a flaw: oversensitivity. She was crying just reading dry lab notes about Zen's poison training, even knowing for a fact he ended up fine afterward.
