I get where youre coming from, and I even think that parts of your critique are valid. Still, I think the overall Critique is too harsh. Imo, this novel is really great, ofc the depth in some points isnt mindblowing, but the way the author uses a light-hearted concept for characters and character interaction makes me grin or laugh a lot and there are even some really epic moments. Also the pacing or rather the direction of thought for the story is almost always relatable and makes it easy to follow the story without getting less invested.
But since you said you are rather tired of the trope usage and say, that the novel is mid, im rather curious: which novel would you recommend then?
