I’m Quitting the Substitute Life Called “My Sister’s Spare” Starting Today – I’m Enjoying My Freedom in the Frontier, So Don’t Call Me the True Saint Now!
Twin sisters Mocha and Carina are appointed as court saintesses due to their rare healing magic. However, Carina suddenly abandons her duties, leaving Mocha to shoulder the burden of both roles, working herself to exhaustion. One day, Carina steals credit for Mocha's work and declares her "useless as her sister's spare," forcing her to marry Alexis Veriqui, the margrave and captain of a cursed knight order. But far from being upset, Mocha is thrilled: "I'm finally free from this painful job!" She heads to the frontier with high spirits. Waiting for her in this notorious land is Alexis, who harbors a grudge against saintesses.

Up to chapter 5
This is a story use the trope of "FL is overworked at her job, then her job gets stolen and she gets exiled, but exile improves her life and the person who stole her job is crushed under the workload." It is however an incredibly shallow version of that trope, and I would recommend reading any of the other versions first. FL's work doing two people's potion production is all attributed to her twin, because apparently she never spoke to anyone for the last few years so they only knew the face and not name of the person making potions? Then she gets exiled, and at first everyone there hates her because they weren't getting potions from the church, but the church literally just made the potions, and had absolutely nothing to do with distributing them (the sole authority of the palace). But even that resistance to FL crumbles after half a chapter because FL helped stir a pot in the kitchen.
It just feels like the author is parroting other stories that already exist, and doesn't know how to flesh the copied points out.
The sister just keeps chloroform on hand?
Ah the classic "villainess steals FL's job without bothering to find out what that job was despite ample opportunity to do so."
I hate when both ml and fl come to understand they love each other, but don't say It to each other(((
FL is cute, optimistic, low self esteem
ML is emotionally constipated, I'm not a fan
Very tropey
It's ok
So, they hate the Saints because they don't understand distribution networks and who manages them. The Saints are just production, they have nothing to do with deliveries.
The art is cute, but the story is cliche after cliche
wenn er nicht den unterschied sieht ist er blind.
1) bland af. No flavor. No spice. Nothing new.
2) somebody get this ML a hair appointment his design is a whole-ass physical manifestation of a disappointed sigh
