Hence, it feels obvious that this doesn’t really work as a reincarnation trope, because people can simply point out that nothing has happened yet that she hasn’t actually suffered or experienced everything that happened to her in her previous life. So how can we expect her to hate the ML or seek revenge when, from her current perspective, none of those things have happened yet?
And even if the ML eventually regains his memories, I still feel like the impact wouldn’t be the same. Everything she suffered happened in her past life, so while he may remember what he did, he didn’t actually experience the consequences of his actions in the same way she did. He wouldn’t truly feel or understand the extent of how much she suffered.
That’s why I think the author should have gone with a resurrection arc rather than reincarnation. If she were resurrected after everything had already happened, she could carry all that pain, betrayal, and resentment with her. She would have personally experienced everything and then been given another chance to confront the people who wronged her and take revenge herself. It would make her hatred toward the ML feel much more natural and justified, rather than having the story expect us to accept that hatred based on experiences from a past life that she no longer physically went through in the present.
And of course, if the author actually went with a resurrection arc, they’d probably be forced to introduce another ML too, because honestly, after everything this guy did, who would even want her to end up with that fucker? (〜￣△￣)〜
