@Sawgking21 I meant like author is doing a mysoginy, they very much love to push the damsel in distress trope which could be ok if the character couldnt fight, but they made a strong female character and then they dont allow her to use her strenght she's always being saved or protected when it isnt necessary which essentially pushes the subtextual message that even strong women need men to rescue them, which is the mysoginy in this.  Idk if you've noticed but there are very few other strong female characters, i think there is one that appears brielfly in the begining but thats it. The lack of any other strong female characters places her as an exception and makes being a strong woman something that is rare and not the status quo, which is just another sprinkling of mysoginy. Furthermore, In almost all combat situation she is always saved be it by her father, dragon guy, noble dude, dewie etc. When in most of the battles she is put in, given the powers the author confers to her, she should be able to get out of herself and with little difficulty but they dont let her and make her be saved by men over 80% of the time, which brings us back to my first point.

1. Haien isn't someone who can fight physically. She only has ok sorcery and crazy summoning with a good bit of water control. Nor does she seem very interested in learning hand to hand or weapon training. That's why she needs to be rescued like this. Or would you rather her just be an op Mary sue with no weaknesses?

2. Just cause it's fiction and a bunch of other series makes it to where men and women are physically equal, doesn't mean everyone has to do it. Men are physically stronger then women and has been the ones to fight in military since forever. The fact we saw any women actually doing something in combat is already enough inclusion since most women don't even wanna go into combat in the first place.

3. the more i read this the more I'm starting to grasp that this just might be harem series with the girl eventually getting all the men. And usually female authors are the ones to make stories like these. If you don't like this type of manga/manwhua then avoid reading them. Cause this is just somethinbrg that happens a lot in female led harem storie
