Don't.. Mind if I squeeze into your guy's conversation here. I'm sorry.
I would assume the reason for MC's lack of cry for help is because she's used to not being saved. She didn't bother to put up a fight because that's the mentality she's lived with for years, only to be met with a horrible and lonely death. And with a huge lack of basic education and igorance of the world and people in general, her mentality as an adult is lacking hugely. I'm no health expert, who knows what else is MC 'lacking' emotionally. I'm not surprised by how frightened and unsure she's written.
Regardless, I could see how it frustrates a lot of readers. If there's practically nothing else happening in the story plot other than the MC crying and whimpering, we're more likely to get impatient for a change.
But you're also right. A lot of the time a story has a reincarnation/isekai trope is because it's there to invoke a cheap and fast emotion from the readers. People tend to like reading a story where the MC has a bad start and suddenly becomes OP. Does it matter if it's not paced nicely with a good timed climax for the author? Nope. They're barely written properly, and when that trope is all good and explained in one measly chapter, the author usually does not go back to that trope and, maybe you know, explore that concept a bit? The whole reincarnation/isekai 'twist' isn't even bad to begin with, it's just, like any genre, takes awhile to find a well written one.
For real though, her face expression could use a lot of work. It annoys me how detailed and pretty a character's hairstyle and clothes is considered "good drawing in manga". It's good skills, but it's important to put into consideration on the character's expression, the background, the story's own culture in the clothes, and how they all mix together to make the manga more worldbuilding. What's the difference between the clothes the characters are wearing in this story compared to a lot other isekai and reincarnation has anyways? They all look fantastically drawn and painstakingly detailed, but they're all the same. Funny because this is a fantasy genre, which means it should give you ample of space to create your own world filled with different culture and traditions without much limit.
