I dislike the representation of talent in this novel. The FL is somehow amazingly talented in everything she does, but it all feels so unrealistic. Ballet and piano take so much effort, and they’re not something you can magically do without daily practice, especially not after quitting for a few years. Like sight reading Liszt perfectly, and doing 32 fouettés by ‘understanding?’ Plus the FL is in high school, and the ML is a decade older than her. Sure, her mental age is 25 because of rebirth, but the ML doesn’t know this, and he still forces himself on her on a regular basis. Not to mention the never ending drama that’s always resolved within just a few chapters; and each of these conflicts are so extreme (like kidnapping, almost getting raped, nearly getting crippled feet) that it feels so unbelievable and stupidly fast paced to have them dealt with by the FL with zero effort and zero effect on her mental wellbeing.
