Unfollow if you will, but that's a pretty dull take. The author seems to like adding those ugly gonk faces to what's supposed to be a cute girl. And unlike lazier authors, he's actually showing us the growth instead of just waving his hands and saying "MC's overpowered now! OP owns everything and can do everything and everything bows to OP!"

And not all girls and women in manga are there to be lewded. Don't try to lewd her. Just read a story about people being interesting, instead of that boring tripe that skips the journey to (and justification for) power.
I think the point of the ugly gonk faces is that her personality ruins her appearance. She is cute, but her personality is exhausting for people to deal with unless they have some degree of separation. Which leads to Guy treating her like entertainment, and her uncle constantly annoyed by her hijinks.

Bro, I was expecting the girl to grow at some point but I see the author really likes them small... time to stop following this manga xd
This is a Territory Development Manga. Having a Time Skip ignores the base concept for the story. You do that, and then you have to spend pages upon pages going over all the development plans they did over the years. All in backstory/flashback. At most you could do a jump of 6 months or so, but again, this jumps over so much of what the author wants to cover. They want to do plans upon plans. And then you cover the problems that come up as seasons change and unexpected things happen.

Unfortunately, that was his goal really is.

he saw a fragments of future and instead of protecting his daughter from ending like that, he decided to punished her for a crime she never commit both in that future and now
If I remember what other people have said about the original story, she was going to end up being a Big Boobed Bimbo minor otome villain, that was going to end up being jailed and causing a War ( @NoctyrneSAGA and @bobios2 comments in Chapter 6). Not sure if that's a Crime. But it's definitely a Bad Future(Ch3.1 pg14). So the Dad was essentially isolating her until she could be banished to a convent or married off to an insignificant noble(Ch 8 pg8 says this was his choice). So his emotional neglect was definitely shitty, but trying to stop a war, is a laudable goal.

Can someone summarize the background for me? Been a while since I read the first few chapters.

the slower it gets to the romance i’ve been spoiled on, the better
It's not like I want the story to get into the romance part or anything, I'd rather it didn't, actually. I really just want to see her grow up because there's just so much you can do as a kid that little.

If those patchwork clothes become even semi-popular, Magnolia's business will be obliterated by competitors using sewing machines. We can assume sewing machines are quite expensive investments, but like all investments, they will pay themselves back if there's a market. I'm not sure if Magnolia is willing to make that investments on behalf of the the people rescued from the slum. They are kind of meant to be self-employed, but would they feel that way if their work depended on expensive machines Magnolia provided? A loan would be another option, but especially if she's planning to have grannies and mothers with small children do the work, a big loan to destitute people might also not be attractive. They could also feel like they are being exploited, getting bound to a loan.

Maybe some kind of co-operative could handle it, although I'm not sure uneducated people of the slum would have the know-how to take care of everything, especially if there's competition. And let's be realistic: there should be criminals/addicts living in the slum. Sooner or later they would infiltrate if money and expensive equipment enters the picture.

The Novel, people have read ahead since the first few manga chapters were published. This is one of the precious few otome isekai stories where
The Almighty Plot is ACTUALLY active in force and not just a delusion of the MC- her parents hated her quite literally because Plot Says So, and no they cannot resist that compulsion, save for her father, who can only barely do so due him being part-fairy. The entire reason her mother had that fancy cat is because she physically and mentally IS NOT ALLOWED TO LOVE MAGNOLIA, the metaphysical Rules Of The World outright say 'Nope, Magnolia's immediate family have to hate her, that includes you.' Even her brother, years later, irrationally disdains her after not seeing her for years, to a point even HE asks himself 'why do I hate her when I don't have a reason to?' It's because he cannot stop himself. Her father tried to do things the nice way (y'know, raise her right and be a good father) and people started DYING around him, making him figure that those deaths where The Almighty Plot going 'cut that shit out our I'mma cut YOU ALL out of this story'. So he tried to hopefully squirrel her away from literally everything until the time period of the 'story' is over, and afterwards send her to be married to a nice but completely plain and boring minor noble far away, so she could live out her later years in dull but possible peace, instead of becoming literally Fantasy Helen of Troy and starting a disastrously bad war by complete incident. Obviously, that didn't work out.
