Idk if I'm the only one who thinks this since I didnt see any comments on it, but while the MC is intelligent(book smart), she has very little street smarts. I feel like she could have been written better. The parts where she was acting weren't presented very well and just made her look like a chuunibyou instead of looking mysterious and intelligent. I thought it was weird that she wanted to be younger when she already looked like a child before. And she was only 22 before. She wasn't even past marriageable age. She could have asked for something like "Make me age slower" instead of turning her into a child since she already looked like one. The only visible difference was that she looked a bit skinnier and shorter. Also the part where she told Roland to act as bait while knowing damn well what her position is, and that the enemy already new that she was making the potions, but she sat directly in the way of where the enemy soldiers were going, kind of made me realize she's not as smart as she thinks. Why the hell would you sit there and stare at them on your horse, watching them run at you with weapons, instead of moving the hell out of the way? Her initial plan to lure them into a trap was good, but she just ruined it by getting in the way. Fym you're going to "observe the battlefield"? She couldnt even defend herself so what did she think she was doing on the battlefield when she cant fight. The most she can do is poison their water and food or throw bombs at them, but what happens when they get in close and surround her? She was defenseless and helpless. You know what they call that? Arrogance and foolishness. The most experience she had in her past life was office work. I understand that she wants to help people. However, there are plenty of ways other than what she did. She's just a manipulator that uses people for her own selfish reasons which just happened to be that. She didn't actually care. I could see she cared about the children but what about even one else? What she did was deception. She put on a mask and fooled people into liking her and then straight up abandoned them or used them depending on her whims or whatever she felt was convenient. I'm not exactly saying I dont see why she did that, but she was honestly way to arrogant for how weak she actually is. She went around claiming to be friends with the goddess but then expects to have a peaceful life? That's contradictory. You cant have fame, power, and also expect piece on top of those. If what she really wanted was a peaceful life, she would have done something like opening a shop that makes medicine after working a normal job. Not going out of her way to manipulate and fool people, as well as steal for her own benefit. Literally the very first person she met was manipulated by her. Also, 22 is literally still young. My older sister is 22 and just barely started her life. The MC is very much still immature. In her previous life she only graduated high school 4 years ago, which, sure that's enough time to go to college and get a job. But Its not enough time to get life experience. If the author truly wanted her to be a wise person, they would have made MC at least 27.
