Honestly there are only so many ways you can write a story whose basic principle is "bullied character in an ancient civ. dies and is replaced by a badass" I've seen some pretty unique ones and I've seen a ton of sad attempts, this on in comparison isn't bad and at least it's fast pased. But honestly while these aren't hard to find they're also pretty obvious so most people who are complaining about the predictable set up should pay attention to the fact that the summary literally spells out for you that a badass MC replaces a trash char. and goes around face slapping people until it gets old. Take a break from the genre, or avoid it all together I had to do that when I got tired of the "summoned to another world to save it" stories that had seemingly exploded all over the internet. And honestly this is one of few MC that didn't look like half an idiot or irratate me from the very begining, she takes no shit and she's willing to throw the first punch. I can't tell you how peeved I get with MC who just wait for storms to hit them and are always in a reactive state, yeah she's not going out of her way but she's also not beating around the bush and has a "I know I'm better than you" attitude.
