the power of plot armor is so strong in this novel that whatever tension the author makes is just nonsense, don't get me wrong i love this however the way that every challenge to Astrid is solved by either Wulfric or himself by his immensely gigantic "talent" that it makes everything boring except for the character interactions
It would have been fun to see if Aster has just been "Nah this isn't ethical enough. No deal" and then after less than half a year people of EMMA would have been in great regret when Aster had reached high in star list (I don't remember exactly what was Aster's goal Top 100 maybe). Plus maybe some gossip account could have leaked what happened behind the scenes.
