The problem is that this story makes no sense, and the mangaka goes to great efforts to contort the logic of the story to make it make sense. The idea that the top graduates of magic school are needed to become receptionists is absurd. It breaks my suspension of disbelief. This is not a slight on receptionists. I'm just saying the amount of linkages between these receptionists and knights is unbelievable. The receptionists basically seem just as strong as the knights, but relegated to secretarial work. Who would accept such an allocation of resources? And what of their pay? So I have a lot of difficulty relating to the MC and her 'dream.'
The tension in the story -- and just in case this wasn't immediately obvious to you, spoiler alert -- is that the Duke's son is in love with this clueless commoner. If you like sitting through chapters of this 'will they? won't they?' dynamic, you're in for a treat. If not, it gets old fast.
I've read 16 chapters so far. Admittedly there is now finally some proper story arc being developed. But my hope for this series is still low.
