So most of the reviewers seem to have problems with the world and how idiotic people seem to be, but as the story progresses, you come to understand why this country became so dependent on magic. Also, as more characters are introduced, you'll see that there are people out there other than the protagonist who have ideas and don't want to rely so much on magic.The first large arc (the reincarnated girl's childhood) moves the protagonist with each mini-arc and introduces many characters. These characters and areas are seemingly left behind like an mmo... in the first arc.Once you reach the second arc, it's clear that the first arc just set the stage for the fun part (though the first arc is still quite amusing, the story doesn't really start til the second arc). The second large arc is puberty. And all those characters that you thought were left in the dust in the first arc start coming back into the picture and taking up larger roles. The second arc builds the characters and relationships so they become more three dimensional. If you gave up on this series because you thought that everything that happened to the protagonist was transient, then you're like the protagonist of the series during the first arc. She thought the same. Then came the second arc and everyone she had left behind. If you persevere til the second arc, you'll find that the story, world, and characters have a great deal more depth than you thought.
