I mean I get why you would think that, but just because you have the option to drop everything and run away doesnt mean that you would want to make that decision.
Despite everything, earth is her home, there are people that care for her still waiting for her to return.
If she decides to abandon her original world, that would make her a coward who ran away from her problems, and we all know that she doesnt run.
Also I feel the need to preface that if I sound like a dick I dont mean it lol, I just type like one.
Idk man sometimes the right answer is taking a step back and starting over. She literally got stomach cancer and malnutrition from the stress of her previous life on earth- that’s no way to live. You shouldn’t stick at something because you’ve invested a lot of time into it, sunk cost fallacy and all that- plus it’s nice that her family deep down seem to love her and regret their actions but does that negate the real abuse she suffered ? No. Ultimately they were toxic and abusive. You could say that about her family here as well though tbf so there’s no clear answer but I know what I’d choose.
Yeah but she the new world she is in isn't all that good either. Everything is different, people she doesn't know and different laws, plus the story wanting to kill her. She's been on edge the whole time just trying to survive, she is being played with in this game, yeah there have been good moments and people but sometimes the bad outweighs the good, even for just a second. At least in her past life she was more familiar with the world even if she was suffering there too.
This is like, the reason people who could time travel to the past don’t. Penny is lucky to be upper class, but with everything happening she could end up in a much worse situation than being poor in Korea. Additionally, recall she got sent here like right when she finally got her independence. She wasn’t trying to go back to her family, she was trying to go back to her independent life that she was just starting at the school of her dreams and living alone. THEN she finds out the family’s perspective, but it’s too late because she’s in too deep in the game world
Only on chapter 186 but come on.. sure her family regret treating her so coldly and she got accepted into a good uni but why the fuck is she considering going back- she has a family here now that love her, friends, and a hunk of a boyfriend who will literally make her an empress…
