A fun read! I like that the MC isn't OP and that she doesn't arrive in this completely strange era and blends in without a problem. She's pretty cautious in the beginning because she doesn't know what's going on and who to trust. When meeting the people from the palace for the first time, she doesn't know all the right things to say or the fancy phrases to use.I think there are complaints about the lack of face-slapping but in the earlier chapters, she's definitely still finding her way. Unlike transmigration stories where they have a golden finger or a big cheat or they're a genius, she's genuinely a cannon fodder character in the beginning, which means she's in the body of a young teenager with not much power. She does have a cheat where she knows some events from the novel she was reading (but not a lot) and she deals with issues by being stubborn, or fast-talking, or shamelessness. Unlike people of that era, she doesn't have the same concern about her reputation, so she's willing to forego that to stay alive or avoid pits.The face-slapping does occur later on and I thought it was satisfying so far, without going overboard. I also enjoy every time she thinks of herself as a cannon fodder character, either because she's lamenting her luck or preparing to do something cannon fodder-ish. I'm on chapter 123 now and I think it's pretty good so far.
