Those memories of her past life really comes out of nowhere. She's supposed to have had the leisure or interest to read a romance novel, which looks like a luxury item to boot, while being neglected as a child, sold, trained as an assassin, then going on missions?

For real. I even thought she reincarnated twice or something, the assassins guild looks pretty medieval-esque and not modern day

what the other guys said.
that backstory really came outta left field and just assfisted itself into the story.
imagine if it was a modern salarywoman who got isekai'd into a romance book and became.... a modern cashier. wow.

What a weird backstory. Certainly not what I expected. Previously I lamented it's hard to understand what she's doing and why, but this does explain it. If she was a failed, betrayed bottom rung assassin, it's no wonder. It might even explain some of her density. That being said what's the point of having an MC like that? Usually the obvious (and cheap) strength of isekai is that it's extremely easy to sympathise with a modern person thrown into a fantasy world, but now we basically have a fantasy world person thrown into another fantasy world. That's not unique, per se, but usually the person at least has a background useful in some ways. Here, apart from having read the novel, the background doesn't seem to offer anything useful whatsoever. It's just a pile of additional weaknesses on top of Char's original stalker character of poor reputation.
