(Like minor spoilers for the first 10 chapters) . . . . . . . . .
I'm re-reading this, and I'm like 10 chapters in, but I just have one complaint.
The story makes me sympathize with the MC's dad, and I really do, but also he's a grown ass man. And I understand that this isn't modern times, and he wouldn't have been so exposed to how fatherhood/taking care of a child works, but also you have a child whom you took responsibility for when you took her off the streets, and then you just abandoned her and leave her to fend for herself? In a place where you know parents are trying to get their kids to be the next hair of the clan?
You gotta be stupid, naive, or both to do something like that. And then be surprised when you find out that your daughter, a kid with no talent in martial arts that's living a place where martial arts is life, is being harassed and disrespected by the servants and your other family members.
And that just doesn't sit right with me, because look where that got you in the first life? And now that your daughter is given a second chance, she has to pick up the pieces and make up for your slack.
And I just feel so bad for the MC in her past life. Obviously she acted up, why do think troubled kids always come from a neglectful/abusive environment? She grew up with servants taunting her, harassing her, not doing their job. She grew up with an absent father who did his best in the shadows. She grew up believing no cared or loved her, and every adult who just stood by took part in it too because they let that shit happen. Of course she was gonna turn out the way she did.
