I feel like instead of making her a reincarnator they should have given her visions of the future instead. Not even the whole thing just flashes or dreams of what is going to happen. Like she is all happy and geared up to be adopted by the brown haired guy and then he touches her arm and boom weird vision that makes her super uncomfortable. he says something and boom another one. Suddenly consumed with anxiety she flees not fully understanding why but intuitively sensing danger. That way she is making choices as a child who is having these scary visions that feel very real instead of as a full grown ass adult who should be more mature and calculating.

I get isekai-ing and reincarnating are popular tropes and easy setups but I just think that simple tweak that she is really just a five year old seeing visions of the future and not knowing exactly how to avoid that future would make her character a lot more logical. It's not even that far away from what the plot is so Idk why so many authors constrict themselves with the same tired formula when just a small detail would make the character far more interesting and realistic.

Along the way maybe throw in some paranoia and doubt about what she is seeing but have her confirm the visions are true in little ways that force her to be more deductive. It would have added a layer of psychological drama and a mystery aspect that would make her character more interesting. There could have been this subtext of "is she just crazy?" "are these visions part of her divine power?" "do they always come true or can they be changed? It would be a better character aspect then being an adult who both acts and looks like a baby but isnt. The expectation that she should be wiser and more cunning because she has literally lived a full life as an adult before is what is causing the disconnect for the many people who don't like her character.

As it is though i think this is just written to jump on the bandwagon of fluffy daddy daughter cutesy stuff so I doubt the author thought much about how to add an interesting and deep twist to her character. Pretty sure the focus is just on how to make her look the most pitiful so when she is doted on later it is all the cuter.
