This is a review up to chapter 51 of the novel (read slightly ahead using MTL). So I did read slightly ahead for this but had to post a review because I am so frustrated at the minor plot holes/bad writing. In general it's good, but there are just some points that I can't get over. . . . SPOILER WARNING . . . . . The brother of the MCs original body. The story starts out by saying that the MCs original body is thrown to planet trash because she killed her brother's lover, but wait! She didn't actually kill her, she just came across the dead body! But no one believes her, and in the end, out of the kindness of his heart, the brother could only exile her on planet trash rather than execute her. I'm sorry, but wtf? Your only sister says she didn't kill your lover and you don't bother to f*cking investigate? Even if she indicated she did not like your lover beforehand, the first thing that I would be is not believe my sibling, who I love and took care of as a parent because my parents are dead, would end up killing my lover and I would still investigate and then if she really did kill, was it an accident or on purpose? In addition, exiling to a trash planet with high radiation is a kindness rather than execution? When said planet is extremely difficult to survive, let alone for a spoiled noble girl who, according to MC, suffers and dies of sickness on the very first day? It would have been kinder to just execute her rather than make excuses and think, well maybe she could survive! The brother only made her suffer more, probably because he didn't have the balls to personally kill his sister even though he wanted to! Anyways, in conclusion, brother sucks, no redemption possible for me, utter asshole. Are we sure they are even blood related cuz it looks to me like he got picked up from the trash can and has some past life grudge with MC. The second point. I'm currently where the MC is taking the entrance examination to the military academy. They have released "color birds" aka roosters/chickens for students to grab and by obtaining the iron rings on their legs they can get double points or something. In actuality, they were released with no intention of actually being grabbed because they are too strong. But in the end, because of MC recognizing them as chickens, she kills one and eats it and then the other students are tempted so she tells them that if they get one for her she'll roast it and give them a piece. So students are excited, they team up, and go hunt down the chickens! And then the teachers and dean panic because oh boy, these came from some union of research and are super expensive and not meant to be killed and eaten and blah blah blah - and now they blame MC for the great loss they have experienced and have to pay the union a ton of money and are blacklisted. And I'm here like What. The. F*ck. I'm sorry, but if you are sending out these birds to be point grabs for your entrance exam, even if they are supposedly strong and therefore you don't expect them to really end up being grabbed... you're stupid if you don't think there will be people strong enough that end up grabbing them anyways! Especially when only half of them have the double point rings - which encourages killing more of them. And you don't even say they can't be killed. And as can be seen, when the students group up, they were able to catch the birds as well! So holding a grudge against the MC for "inciting" this, or even using birds that aren't even supposed to be killed, is so extraordinarily stupid and makes absolutely no sense to me. Anyways, I had to rant about it. Rant aside, I do enjoy reading so far. I just can't get over the stupidity of some of the characters and had to rant to someone.

I almost forgot, the novel is mildly racist too. Trash planet people are black (according to the novel, as a result of the planet radiation tho). There is a lot of mentioning how ugly it is because of their dark skin. Although this is definitely how Chinese think (pale = prettier) and in general how asian countries are and I never thought much of it before, it still sounds really racist with how much they mention it in the novel, especially when trash planet locals are straight up black people.
