I would agree, if it was not hinted that she could figure out things.
Honestly, if chapter 17 hadn't existed, with her considering things logically and trying to figure out stuff, then I would not have been half as peeved as I am atm.
It's like the author started it off that way, then realised as they were writing, that it would be hard to carry on with the plot the way they wanted to, so they changed it up, but still wanted to leave that tidbit for the readers to figure out what's going on.
Leaving a big ass jarring as hell and frustrating af plot hole.
Personally, if the author wanted the MC to be too stupid to figure it out, because they wanted her to carry on with her resentment towards Cassiel, then they should've left that part out and leave the reader as ignorant as the MC so they could sympathise with her and stay on her side 😒
That's why I said that she started off very promising. 😑
