1.0

The main character was entirely unlikeable. Her many criticisms of others and points of disgust about them were actually main flaws of herself. For example, she hates and looks down on others for wanting to be beautiful or to create beauty, and yet she frequently comments on how she is always beautiful and to what extent.
