How much did you like the LN?
Not the person you asked, but I really enjoyed this series (I have read most of the webnovel version rather than the light novels). However, it depends a lot on whether you find the sense of humor this story has to be funny rather than annoying.
This first episode was played pretty straight, but once this story gets going it becomes very silly and comedy first, romance/adventure second. I remember a while back I recommended this series on the /c/lightnovels community (on lemmy.ml) and the mod over there, NineSwords picked up a volume and they were not a fan of the humor. However, I find it very funny and this is one of my favorites in the Villainess genre (is it a genre? idk). So, I would give it another episode or two, see if you connect with the humor or not.
Yumellia is very much a personification of the “Emotionless Girl” trope, and a lot of people hate that, this might be the reason specially since NineSwords compared her with others that are on the other side of the pendulum, Katarina for example is absurdly expressive and incredibly endearing, i imagine Yumellia might feel dull in comparison despite being around the same level of good and kind person in general. Oh well, not everything is to everybody’s taste and that’s OK 😄
Quick edit: Noting his answer, adding Tearmoon Empire to my watching/reading list, hadn’t heard of it and sounds interesting 😄
