@kwendy But she looks like an adult in seemingly every face shot! Not only that, her clothing and accessories make her look way too mature at first glance(Don't know about you, but those earrings make her look even more like an adult and are not helping in the slightest). Page 4 is a perfect example of what the issue is. Every panel that had her in it(maybe aside from one)made her look like an adult, and it wasn't until she said she was 10 several pages later that I even knew she was supposed to look like a child.

Honestly it's kind of a trivial matter, but it confused the hell out of me once it was revealed she was 10. I thought everyone up to that point was an adult as visually they appeared to be so, but to be told that all those people at the tea party and both boys she bumped into(one more literal than the other) were children threw me for a loop and I had to reread everything to that point with "they are children" in mind. I suppose it's also mostly just a personal problem because whenever I read stories I tend to imagine how a character's voice sounds based on their appearance and the setting. As such, I gave all the characters adult voices and had a hard time trying to fix that afterwards when I found out most of them, aside from the maid and a few others, were still kids.

Edit: I think it's the overall softness of the faces, or lack thereof. Adults, even women, tend to have more angular faces, whereas children tend to have more round faces. But ALL of the faces in this series have about the same angularness to them regardless of age, aside from the "plump" girl and a few scenes where a character is chibified. Furthermore, the only panel that I saw that somewhat properly showed how large their heads were to their bodies was actually the second-to-last panel on page 4 that Gladys showed up on, where she is turning away from the boy. Other than that, there aren't enough body shots to properly establish that "this is a kid." This is relevant because children tend to have larger heads proportionate to their bodies as a person's head reaches about 90% of it's maximum size by age 5, making a child's head look way too big for their body.

I'm rambling at this point, so you can ignore me if you'd like. This is still an enjoyable read regardless and in no way does the odd proportions decrease my desire to read this, it was just...bloody confusing.

@mismarca The carriage was moving through a large amount of snow, which could muffle the sound enough that you probably couldn't tell which direction it was coming from.

Uhh, what? Running over a Great Prophet to her death isn't punishable by law?

@Svelandria Usually they not only look like adults, but also perform at same roles as adults and speak like adults also. Does not lessen the confusion, but I could be used to this, but authors occasionally remind that they are supposed to be X-year old kids. Maybe it's just how shojo authors think european nobility are like.

@zz2000 thanks for clarifying. I totally thought she lives her first lives as a dude, it only said karateka and the silhouette is definitely a man

This is kinda weird, but seem promising.
Btw, the girl Gladys is 10 years old? They make her look like 20, and her mother looks like a taller version.

Sigh... It's really sad japs seem to think medieval European noble somehow = flat is beautiful. That is ONLY a jap thing. I can't even bring myself to imagine a situation where a noble with crap tons of money WOULDN'T have a busty wife... +mistresses... Further to the point busty moms = busty daughter's. Tell me I'm wrong but I won't believe you. 😎

...is the isekai part relevant? Like, it seems like the prophet reincarnation part is dominant. It's like the author wanted this to be tagged Isekai so the novel to be more popular, but like...

It could just be a reincarnation story... idk maybe I am being too particular. It's only been the first chapter, maybe it will be or was relevant in the novel

"The last one is weird"? Is it? Why you assume the person who killed you and wanted to ran away without even attempting to help wouldn't do something to deserve a stabbing?

Well, gotta give it to her.
She definitely managed to get up after being mortally injured just to curse her unwitting assaliant to oblivion properly.
Totally badass way to go

Inconsistent with the previous ch.0, and feels like there's a lot mistranslation, my brain had difficulty processing the setting.

this is a little difficult to follow. so she was the prophet she ran over with her carriage and someone her soul transferred into her third life, the duke’s daughter? it is because of the curse she laid just before her second life died or what? also is she replacing the previous duke’s daughter or was she always her and just realizing who her past lives were? and if she was always the duke’s daughter how was she living in two bodies for the years they were both alive? obviously i’m confused 🥴 does anyone else understand what’s happening? 😭

EDIT: ohhhhh wait wait, it was her mom that ran her over. why did it show it as if it was the protagonist then? they look wayyyy too much alike, it’s hard to figure out that it’s supposed to be another person when it isn’t stated
