Finally someone said it!! Unpopular opinion, but I actually really love the MC, if I got isekai’ed into a world and heard the words, “play ur part and u can maybe go home,” I would do the same thing. I think a lot of people calling her dense forget about the the words she heard at the beginning. She’s really realistic compared to other MCs who literally just forget about their old lives right off the bat, totally agree on that point too. There’s also people calling her dense for not realizing Jade had gone back in time, but then again, from her perspective all of them are just fictional characters. I, too, would also brush off all the hints since, if I was in that situation, I’d expect the story to end the exact same way as it did in the original.
THANK YOU! Like really, should I ever get isekaied, of course I would do everything I can to get back. You all want her to chose a book character over her family? Because that is what Jade is for her: a book character. She is not dense at all, she has a goal and will not be turned away from it (well maybe now because she did live a long time with them so they are starting to feel real to her).
I don't understand why you guys are calling her dense. If you think about it logically, if someone were thrown into a book they've read, they wouldnt view the characters as "real". They would see the world as a script and she wishes to try and follow that script. At the end of the day, that's how she's seeing the world. She's not being dense, she's being realistic. She wants to go home and she believes she has to follow the script she read in the story in order to do so. She doesn't view them as real people yet, and honestly how can you blame her? I prefer her acting like this over the mcs who just run away from their original lives, and just instantly move on.
