I very much dislike that the first arc is about sex trafficking and they chose this moment to develop a romantic plot, especially on the female lead's side. It's honestly kind of disgusting because it makes the moment seem romantic, but the fact is sex trafficking and going to save someone should be treated seriously.
I personally never like body swap-based stories, but that's fine guess.
Slow-burn where the previous shitty male lead/interest is good to me, however, this plot develops pretty slow because it's focusing on a singular arc without giving context to the FL's goals, we don't know what she's going to do, there's no indication of the Kingdom Of Mont's regret either, so we're finding a hard time cheering for the FL when we don't know whats the bigger goal she wants. All that's happened so far is that she's been reborn, and wants to save her friend, which is fine if they developed a bigger overall goal.
Take "Shadow Queen" as an example, we get a slow kind of development, however, we know the FL's goals so we have reason to stick to the story because we expect her to succeed. In this one, we're just kind of waiting 1/5 of the way of a 100 chapter story for her to even START giving us hints of her bigger goal.
It has much less to do with battle strength than some people are interpreting, it's the lack of a motive shared to the audience!
