I wasn't a fan of how messy the MC's 'age-conscience' is. In the beginning, she explicitly leaves her older self (around 18 or so) and has the mind of a younger girl (cant remember the age, around 5?).
She remembers some concepts (like books) from when she was older, which makes sense.
BUT then the author continues to go back and forth on if her 'consciousness' is truly 18 or 5. This makes it a little creepy...the way an 18 year old is interacting with children and describing children. She refers to herself as older, younger, older, younger... which would be fine if it was a plot point, but it doesn't get addressed early on enough, and just ends up being distracting.
The story is slow paced, so I think that all details for a slow paced book should matter. How may I be immersed if theres basic info about the MC that isn't rock solid?
I was really excited to read this, but i found it to be messy and boring.
I got my worldbuilding fix reading The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet Life instead.
