First off, the translator did a great job. My problems are entirely with the original work.The MC is just... She goes to a state hotel for lunch two days in a row... that really stands out in the 60s. They say she came from the apocalypse, but I don't think she acts like it much. She doesn't guard against others, sets prices arbitrarily and way too low when trading, tries to save everyone with an almost bodhisvata heart. She gave meat buns to a strange old lady, I think she acts like a privileged daughter who has never seen the real world.But honestly the worst thing for me was when she argued with the waiter in the restaurant they gave pork to others because she had asked first. It was true thst the restsurant had no meat left. The other guest brought a special meat coupon, so the chef took out his own meat in exchange. The waiter was only doing her job and fhe MC started morally lecturing her. It feels like those moral kidnapping peasant stereotypes that appear in modern novels. It was a bit unbearable to read.Also, her father let the original die. I think she is much too forgiving, his neglect and allowance of ab*se, his ability to plead ignorant when you can obviously see the difference between his daughter and his step daughter.
