wth. MC is surrounded by idiots who push their own narratives on her. and i don't even think she learned anything, she's just feeling residual guilt and anger so she's running away from things.
usually when you make these type of neglected and unloved in the past type of plots, it gradually gives you an equal amount of satisfaction to see these events turned upside down in the 2nd timeline.
however, this story is incredibly inadequate in providing that. eg the frustration you feel is about a 100 and then it gives the reader about 20% in karmic retribution or moments of realization when a good and well-phased plot would've given you twice the amount of satisfaction to make up the frustrating premise.
just overall bad vibes and unrewarding storyline all around. and judging from the extensive spoilers from diff. forums, this doesn't improve over time and it maintains this level of small, lukewarm 'good' moments overshadowed by dissatisfaction throughout the end.
should've known when i saw the author's previous work lol. they're an expert on MCs who have zero self worth.
