Protagonist is insufferably stupid. Most of the problems here could be resolved with one word from her, but she just refuses to speak up AT ALL, and she just refuses to acknowledge the fact that she's a literal mind reader. She could see that her someone thinks of her constantly and loves her immensely, but she'll still be terrified to utter even a single word in their presence.
Some of those things could be explained if the protagonist was just a regular kid who dreamt of the future, or had a vision, but the author consciously chose the regression route, which means she should be far more mature and logical than she currently is. She should at least be able to read people better, since abused children learn that faster than anyone else, but no. She's just absolutely useless.
And no, trauma does not explain all of those things.

DNF after 29 chapters. So bored… 😑

- Attractive art
- World like a game (favourability/thoughts/mood)
- Cold father is actually adoring trope
- Cold yet protective brother trope
- ML is master of magic tower (child prodigy)
- FL has an ‘incredible’ amount of mana
- Innocent, naive, pure-hearted FL
- ‘Evil’ stepmother/queen trope
- FL is illegitimate daughter of king (her father)

—> Easily gains affection from ‘good guys’
—> OR is just immediately liked/adored
—> Protagonist has no internal struggles/flaws
—> Protagonist has little to no motivation
—> ML adores her immediately. No development.

Things just ‘happen’ to her without her taking any real action herself to change her life.

She compares the present to past events and the perceived reactions from others. Then she’ll feel sad and often cry before being immediately comforted by her adoring maid or others.

Meanwhile, the game-like windows show the thoughts of her father, brother, love interest, and others (who she thought hated her) that basically just consist of cringy renditions of: “she’s adorable” and “I want to make her happy”
To which her response is just sheepish naivety and: “wow, I thought they hated me. The window can’t be accurate, right?”

The only actions she takes is to stop scandals that had previously ruined her image/reputation to prevent herself from getting executed again. But even then, most of the action is by her new adoring supporters (eg. Her father) with her doing little to nothing while they persecute on her behalf.

Is it just me or did the official english translation really censor her stupidity? She's a rather normal character now.
