Ok. The premise seemed interesting. I was on board and excited up until the MC absorbed the knowledge of the reincarnated. Here’s the thing with reincarnation stories. We are willing to overlook a 3 year old being able to do a bunch of advanced stuff because they are actually 30 in a 3 year olds body. Fine.But the MC here is just a 7 year old. They aren’t a 7 year old with past memories, they aren’t even a 7 year old who seemed particularly unique. Just a girl who’s parents were killed and she ran away from the orphanage fearing death. NORMAL. But you’re telling me, that after this 7 year old receives knowledge (remember the author himself repeatedly exclaims that none of the reincarnates personality entered mc) and not even complete knowledge at that, she quickly and easily assumes the role of a cold blooded killer?Again this was just knowledge. The only possible difference being that she was able to instantly understand it. But what knowledge did she gain, that not only instantly overwrote the personality of a normal 7 year old, but instead of making her cry like a normal 7 year old girl, return to the place she ran from to kill someone FOR THE FIRST TIME?!Here’s the thing. That alone tells me how the story will be. The author wanted the MC to kill the hag. But he didn’t care how she got to that point. So even if I didn’t read past 2 chapters, I predict that she will be killing people she shouldn’t be able to kill that she didn’t really need to kill. Like at least give us and her some time to sit and grapple with the fact that her life is a lie made for a game. That all the hurt she went through and the love lost was just for a s*upid romance game. Maybe after quite some time, when she’s at the age to understand it (has any of these authors spoken to a 7 year old before? Try explaining something that complicated to them lol), she sees life having less value. MAYBE THEN, her being willing to kill at the drop of a hat makes sense because it was all a lie.Oh? She rejects that the world is a game and doesn’t believe it? Sure I’d believe that but then in the same breathe she discusses confirming the events of the game and the predictions the reincarnator had. The author wants a result, but he doesn’t care how he gets it. He doesn’t care that it makes sense. And that’s enough to help me predict how the rest of the story will go. Is she going to be the strongest? Maybe, but I doubt how she gets there will be compelling. I was REALLY hopeful for this
