Tikky's manga / #Trash(1)

So, typically, I wouldn't be too strict with this kind of story and I'm sure I overlooked a lot of flaws in my pursuit of stories with tropes similar to this one. But THIS gem is written so offensively terrible, I just can't ignore it. And I only read up to the second chapter at most! Let me elaborate: The story kicks off with the female protagonist taken in for questioning by the Duke of the territory, because she allegedly stole some jewellry. The protagonist is a transmigrator who knows everything about this new world through a book she read and partially wrote in her OG world. She mentioned, since the FL from said novel was the Duke's daughter, it was all about her, alas the infamous Duke himself was rarely even seen in it. Despite this, she, who transmigrated into the body of some female extra without any outstanding features, is about to be delivered straight to this man as a convict. It seems Polyp, a guy she befriended, even though he is utterly worthless, needed help, so she gave him a necklace made of gold and ruby - her most valuable possession, I presume - telling him to not try to sell it to some genuine jeweller, as he would be seen as a thief, due to him not being able to afford something like that. He does it anyway and gets taken in, just to tell them he got the necklace from our protagonist, female extra no. 1, thus leading to our first scene. Now I already have a few bones to pick with the story at this point. Not only does this chucklefuck of a Duke just take the words of that unreliable looking guy at face value - a useless piece of shit with a seemingly terrible reputation, who should be anything but trustworthy - without any proof of his claims, taking her into custody for no further reason and simply releasing the other lad in the process. No, she also didn't think of telling him that it's not actually true. If it's enough for Polyp to tell the Duke he got it from the Protagonist, she should be saying she never saw it before or got it from someone else. Why cling to an object that you already bade farewell to and have no emotional attachments to whatsoever? Clearly, she couldn't have thought to ever get her money back, when she first gave it away, right? Let's assume she was just too nervous to think that clearly, then it's up to the Duke. He asked where she got it from, while counting down certain aspects of her life, not even acknowledging the possibility of it being a gift. She also states that she bought it by sheer luck during an auction, open to commoners, making it something easily proven. Now he could have missed the auction while persuing a thief in front of his eyes, by simply not trying to trace back the jewelry's origins, but upon mentioning it, he doesn't say that it must have been an auction with stolen goods or that he has to check if what she says is true (as mentioned, it should be rather easy to gather Intel from other villagers regarding those said auctions ans how they function). Yet, despite all this, simply decides on the spot that it would be too much of a coincidence that she of all people was there to buy it, because ... reasons, I guess? She didn't mention any restrictions, she was simply there because she was and had anyone else bought it, that person would have been the one to get lucky. Is being lucky a crime now? I would have taken it if he had said any of what I provided as substitute claims or something entirely different if it made sense, but this conclusion was so outside the box, it fell off the table and crash landed on the ground. Like, seriously, are you differently abled or something? It's not funny, if that's what it was meant to be, either. I get it, the story tries to create a reason for her to seem like she has some great Intel, prompting her to tell him about her knowledge through the novel, but it does so in such an inept way, it would be impossible for any normal person to reach that conclusion. Fucking galaxy brain. Don't you just love it when your terrible writing ideas force you to make even more terrible writing choices, just so you can reach them? To top it off: a case as insignificant as this one is being handled by this hard to get Duke in person. No wonder he never showed up in the original book - he was holed up in his office the entire time, playing detective. That's what you get when you wish-order Sherlock Holmes, mate. And what was he thinking, stepping on the necklace and smashing it? If you are so hellbent on the idea that it's stolen, wouldn't you expect there to be people who want it back? Destroying it would help no one. You're supposed to return it to the owner as your first and foremost task and now they will never get it back. Stellar job, you blonde womble. Never change. Well, that about sums up my first impression. I will see myself out now.
