A very simple and average story that had the potential to be something big. The story follows Lilliana as she learns about a world resembling Europe during the dark ages.

She creates items to make everyday life easier for everyone around her. For instance, she suggested compost fertilizers, created steamed buns, and patented dandelion coffee.

the rising action begins with the kidnapping and disease events. The climax, falling action, and denouement were compacted together into 1 chapter. Lilliana finally decides to reveal her past memories to her parents. The parents chose to nonetheless accept her and they live a normal life together.
The manga is effective in conveying its theme of failure leading to improvement. Lilliana is shown to be able to solve any problem successfully on the first try. Lilliana feels a sense of powerlessness after encountering sick patients. The manga becomes self-aware when Lilliana's father tells her that she lacks failure, which emphasizes the theme.
Overall, this manga has a simple plot that costs almost 0 brainpower to consume. The characters had the potential to develop into greatness. However, the rushed end shows that the author intended for this manga to be boring and unsustainable in the long term.
