I gotta say, I really am enjoying this? More than I thought even. My actual rating would be closer to 4/5 but I don't think it deserves the low rating it has right now so rounded up. Edit: Lowered it to 4 now after 150 chapters.
The story might not be too deep but it also doesn't pretend to be what it's not (it is written in the easygoing faceslapping feel good way) but I feel intrigued by all the different characters and am really rooting for them. I do like that all the changes happen just because of the characters' realization and their own actions instead of the MC going around changing things.
The mind reading mechanism is a bit weird but it fits its purpose.
A while ago I have discovered that I quite enjoy the trope of villains/cannon fodder characters waking up and escaping the system/author/plot - sometimes when they are too nonsensically s*upid in other stories I like to imagine they could wake up and save themselves too and this really feeds into that.
Edit about decreasing score: Spoiler
So after the setup started being explained it felt like the author was backpedalling and being confused about their own setting, changing things arbitrarily. It's also becoming more unrealistic and repetitive.
The setup where the mu*derer sister wrote those stories to vent her resentment and jealousy towards her doesn't make sense when you think of the other books; where was the MC character to torture in those or how would it help her vent...? It only really explains the main swap story but leaves plot hole for the rest. With how convoluted some of the plots are, it really makes no sense the cannon fodders would even have names to identify them by, much less that much written about them by someone so self-centered who just wrote about her self-insert gaining success.
Also as much as I originally enjoyed it was the characters working to change their fault, now she is even spoonfeeding them evidence hiding spots... And with the "upgrade" it's just too much.
