Preliminary (30/245 chp)
"Daughter of the Emperor" is a bafflingly low depth story about a woman who died and was reborn into a foreign realm.

Even as far as Chapter 23, we know next to nothing about the world, its people, the MC's past life, or even how the MC spends her days.

She was born into a baby's body with a fully developed brain. She hasn't the ability to do anything except think, because her body is so weak. How is it that in an entire year she has not put any thought into her past life beyond a single passing statement that she wonders what her parents are doing? Surely her own sudden death and memories of her loving parents should warrant they be in her thoughts often. Does she not miss them?

What of her current surroundings? How is it that in a year, despite having a fully developed adult brain and literally nothing else to do, she has not had any meaningful thoughts on the language, the culture, the sciences or even the persons who surround her except for her father? Yet even of her father, she thinks very little. I count on one hand the ponderings of this MC. Was she merely stupid in her past life? Even a dog has deeper thoughts than she!

How is it that she isn't experiencing culture shock when she has been thrust into an foreign age with foreign people, foreign language, foreign culture and foreign science?

Why is it that she hasn't drawn a single parallel against her past life?

Like, good god, I can get down with the cuteness but this is just dull.
