This is what happened in the first 5 chapter, so no major spoiler. To put it simply, this makes a mockery of women that detach themselves in situations of abuse where there is no way out. Detachment is a way of coping. She gets abused for not being okay with being kidnapped and denied her freedom and general liberties. She dies being detached all her life and suddenly she has all these plans and energy to do stuff when reincarnated... something completely out of character for someone that has always been passive. Change is hard. You can’t go 0 to 100 and say it’s because she rebirthed. So, character development is meh, especially since there is the victim blaming. The “it takes two to tango” bull where she justifies her captor. The idiom is not applicable as she is only in a situation where her response to a forced situation illicits favorable or abusive reactions. This is like how you discipline a farm animal. You have all control and manipulate and play with it for your satisfaction. It’s not a situation where two people are doing the “tango.” I hate to pit it this way, but while someone like her might have regrets, that does not mean she would want to relieve her life more than be dead. Passiveness comes from unwillingness to adapt and move on, it comes from general lack of motivation in life. Someone like her was basically clinically depressed and magically becomes an active teenager that wants to be up in everybody’s business along with her own. This is HARD fiction. It lacks reason and logic and is in the same space as fanfic, where you really have to struggle to make it seem plausible.
