Are you talking about reincarnated as supergirl by captocav?

ah it updating?!! I used to read this one but last time I checked on it it said it had not updated in over a year.

She literally killed the thug at the movie theater. She didnt consider other options just killed him when he pulled a gun. With her powers there was a million other options so she did rush to kill idk what youre on about

What logic are you going by? Pulling a gun on someone, like drawing a sword in ancient times, shows clear intent to kill. When he fired at her, she had no real choice but to act. Yes, her powers gave her the edge, but even with her strength, letting him go could be a huge risk. Remember, he actually shot her-if she hadn't been superhuman, she'd be dead. You say there were a million other options, but realistically, what would you have done with her abilities? In the DC universe, threats are serious, and a drunk thug with a gun isn't any less dangerous. So given all of that, her response was justified.

If she was Normal I would agree but she’s not and she’s kryptonion. Guns don’t mean shit here. She could have literally just super sped to stop him from shooting or taking out the gun and problem solved.

Who is the romantic interest?

I think you're approaching this with too much of a "surgical" mindset, analyzing the scene from the reader’s perspective where emotions and situational context don’t cloud judgment. If you re-read the text, you’ll see that Kara did act to stop the threat, just not as quickly as you suggest she should have. That delay is understandable for two reasons: 1. Emotional State: She had just finished the fight, felt a sense of relief, and was caught in a moment of happiness knowing everyone was okay. This emotional state made her less vigilant than usual. 2. Lack of Perfect Training: Kara hasn’t trained herself to instantly analyze every threat or react with perfect precision in every scenario. She’s superhuman, but she’s not flawless or emotionless. Her response reflects her growth and humanity despite her powers. Even Kryptonians aren’t immune to situational distractions or emotional reactions, which adds realism to the scene.

I honestly do not know yet I have not got to that point but where I am at the mc currently has no interest in dating at all. I could speed read up to date but like to take my time so I have a buffer zone of chapters especially for this novel maybe it my PTSD with novel like this I always feel it might drop the next day so I currently reading it nice and slow

Got if you ever get to the point in the book and happen to remember my post, then let me know who. Thanks

What does this have to do with anything? She could have stopped the guy from firing with how fast she is it will seem super slow

No problem happy to help

well if you read the end of chapter 10 you will hopefully understand plus she is not trained. she grew up like any other young child only extra is her power and due to her maturity she was not heavy influenced or experienced any heavy inference the author give a perfectly good reason why he was able to draw the gun on her before she noticed. as for just speeding up and snatching the gun before he shoot she probably could have with enough focus but it would be stupid for her too do so. as that would totally reveal supernatural side to her friend which is always a fifty fifty on the outcome whether it was for better or worse and in dc universe does she really want to take those chances no, at least I wouldn't

That would be good and all if Clark Kent hadn’t fought a fully trained general like Zod with zero training and won. Which shows that you don’t need training just overwhelming might to win. Which if we compare a kryponion to a normal human then yeah it’s not even close. As for her not showing her powers in the dc universe, I completely agree with you, however she’s supposed to be using killing as the last resort. If it was between her killing and showing her powers to Friends she’s known for a long time. Then I would choose to trust my friends even if it’s 50/50. But she went straight for the kill not caring at all. Which is just contradictory to her character in previous chapters.

You make a fair point about Clark Kent defeating Zod despite his lack of formal training. However, I think there’s a distinction to be made here. Clark was already 33 when Zod appeared, and while he hadn’t been formally trained, he had faced other villains and participated in supernatural events leading up to that moment. This gave him both combat and life experience to rely on. On the other hand, wasn’t the MC still a teenager, likely under 15 at the time? That’s a significant gap in maturity and experience. As for the choice between revealing her powers to her friends or resorting to killing, I agree that it feels out of character based on her previous behavior. But I don’t think the core issue in that moment was about trusting her friends. From what I recall, the real concern was the people harassing them. She didn’t know she could hypnotize people and had no way of ensuring they wouldn’t spread what they saw. Even if most people wouldn’t believe it, some might, and in the DC universe, in her specific location, that kind of information could easily fall into the wrong hands. Don’t forget which company holds the most influence in her area.

Ok while I agree with you on the second paragraph I can’t agree on the first paragraph. You can’t forget that she is a reincarnated person. She was in high school when she died but even then she would be near like 7 years behind Clark if we assume she was a senior. Second Clark was naturally born so he didn’t have the kryptonian genes and instincts Ingraved into his body. Kara was made to be the best out of all the fields in this novel and even had instincts and can use her powers better since she actually knew about them all at this age. Even at the beginning she instantly learned the English language in seconds from what she had before. So I don’t think she should be as slow as Clark who was raised human and never uses or even knew his powers limits

I can see where you’re coming from, and you’ve made some excellent points. I hadn’t fully considered how Kara’s past life would influence her maturity and instincts. You’re absolutely right that her reincarnation and Kryptonian genetics provide her with significant advantages, such as her ability to instantly learn English and her natural understanding of her powers. These factors certainly set her apart from Clark, who lacked those ingrained instincts and had to discover his abilities gradually. That said, my argument revolves more around her lack of combat experience and how that impacts her decision-making in the heat of battle. While her genetic instincts undoubtedly allow her to learn and react faster, they don’t entirely compensate for the kind of tactical awareness that only comes with experience. In this specific fight, she demonstrated a critical gap: after knocking down some enemies, she focused solely on one opponent, seemingly forgetting about others. This moment of relaxation allowed an adversary to recover, draw a weapon, and attack from behind. To me, this suggests one of two possibilities: either she lacked the decisiveness or combat awareness to ensure all enemies were incapacitated before turning away, or she misjudged the force she applied, believing the threat was neutralized. However, I want to make it clear that I’m not suggesting Kara is slow or incapable. In fact, the moment the gun was fired, her quick thinking was remarkable. She assessed the situation, shielded her friend, and even managed to give instructions, all within moments. This shows her speed and reflexes are exceptional, but the issue lies in her thought process. Her actions are limited by her current lack of experience, not her potential. As the story progresses, particularly after her training arc, we see her grow into her role. Later, she fights alongside Batman with precision and control, skillfully neutralizing groups of opponents while suppressing her strength to human levels. This stark improvement highlights her adaptability and evolution. For this reason, I think it’s important to view her early actions as a natural part of her development rather than as a definitive measure of her character. That said, I’m not dismissing the fact that she killed someone in that chapter. It’s an important moment for her character positive or not and one that reflects the complexity of her situation. Her lack of experience and the high-pressure circumstances likely influenced her decision, making it understandable, if not ideal, from her perspective at the time. So, while I agree that Kara has the capacity to act with more precision and decisiveness, I believe her early struggles and decisions are an essential part of her growth arc. Judging her fully formed character based on this moment alone seems premature. In case you or whoever reads this did not read the next info yet: **Spoiler Off Topic** On a side note, I do question myself about her growth during her first interaction with Joker. She made multiple illogical mistakes: she could have finished him in one blow but decided to have a conversation, got her emotions manipulated, and, in order to save her friend, she let him live for no reason, making it seem like it was a choice between saving her friend or killing him. She could have easily done both in one go. Now he knows her identity as a way to manipulate her whenever he is bored. I know the author just did not want to write off Joker yet, but his method was forceful and illogical, destroying the intellect and character buildup for the MC that happened in prior chapters. Reading that chapter, I felt exactly like this conversation but with roles reversed. She had the ability to handle it better but did not, and what frustrated me while reading was that she no longer lacked the combat and tactical experience. This did bother me for a while which caused me to only now reach all the way up to date otherwise I would have read this in one go.

Ok I agree with you. All the points you stated where things that I also thought of that seemed off or forced. Honestly it was great having this conversation where we can agree and disagree on certain points. Made me more invested into the novel too than I was before. I hope the author can take some if these things and improve the novel for everyone to enjoy

Same, I have enjoyed our conversation too. It is actually pretty relaxing and rare for me on this platform to be able to have decent arguments about personal perspectives on a novel without either side flipping the table midway. Anyway, happy belated Christmas and early New Year (or whatever holiday you may observe).
