1) Linear story with no depth to character. Infact, no political and geographic background even after 2 volumes worth of story. Most of the characters are simpletons with no depth in them. You could literally shrink the entire WN into important pts and ppl still could fill the gaps between them.
2) I accept that one get attracted to strength which they seek from their partner. It could be character trait, money, passion towards something,strength, or anything. But everything doesn't happen in a flip of a coin. Love/Marriage is something that built on trust and memories. If it happens at just 1 event, its nothing more than a infatuation.
3) Author doesn't understand warfare.(don't wanna spoil folks now)
