This is what I was hoping Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady would be but it's a bourgeois revolution.
I havent finished that one yet, some of the polemics were interesting but the light novel was kinda meh and I havent watched the anime yet. Bummer that its bourgeois
It's still lesbian tho
That's always something
Just started the I'm In Love With the Villainess manga and holy shit is she down horrendous
Which one?
Main girl Rae of course.
The politics seem to start around chapter 16 and while I don't love the "rioting commoners were part of a shadowy plot" beat, the overall structure of how the magic system affects the material conditions is interesting.
Oh lol I see I had misunderstood what you had said. I think it felt more like the shadowy plot taking advantage of public anger to me which is why I felt like it works, since the agency is still with the populace at large. I'm glad you think it's interesting though!
It's a somewhat common trope to have a particular character behind a riot, because it gives the main character someone to face off against and talk to, but I think it misrepresents how riots actually form and function, and tends to resemble right wing "outside agitator" narratives.
