Normally, I would agree with you about naïve protagonist, but this character seems to have a divine insight check. She can just know when someone is good or evil or a threat to her because I guess God tells her. So she’s not being naïve. She just knows that these violent racist Bird people Are no threat to her and will never harm herIt was interesting at first, but now it feels, weird...
The miko is obviously too naive, but everyone is going with her flow and not trying to even change her perspecitive.
And what's worse is that evertyhing ends good. Like whatever she decides to do, seems to be the correct thing and it confirms her approach as ok. I guess we can say it beacuse she is the miko, the blessed one, so everything will end good for her, but it still feels weird.
Reading it back, it may look like I am bashing all the stories about overpowered MCs, since it some way it is the same. But I really like them, just in this version it feels weird, hard to define why. It maybe be something to do with the MC's mentality and how they behave. In here she is a naive child which seems to lack some common sense. Well, actually I don't like the stories where the MC is overpowered but thinks of themself as the weakest and/or lacks the bare minimum of common sense, so it may be something with that.
Well, they will not harm her, but clearly they aren't "good" people, since they wanted to torture the other humans for informationShe just knows that these violent racist Bird people Are no threat to her and will never harm her
She never said they were good just that they wouldn’t harm her. Which I will assume means that they also won’t kidnap her because they want her happy.Well, they will not harm her, but clearly they aren't "good" people, since they wanted to torture the other humans for information
It depends on how this works.Normally, I would agree with you about naïve protagonist, but this character seems to have a divine insight check.

I assume it’s gods way of keeping her safe So it should be a pretty accurate measure of potential dangers. Even attacks on her community should hopefully be considered an attack on her support network so it’s an attack on her.It depends on how this works.
If this only tell her who is "aligned" with her, hence not a danger to her, this doesn't help much. The person could still be a danger to her little community even if they don't mean harm to her individually.
Relying on this sense is still terribly naive in such a case.
On the other hand, if it tells her who she can actively rely on, who will benefit her and her people, then this insight is really helpful. If that tells her who are actually good people despite their habit of, say, bashing nearly to death an innocent bystander who's trying to keep her safe... then great. Strange, but great.
Problem is that she doesn't seem to know the difference yet. She might have some divine insight, but not true wisdom.
That's where I disagree.I assume it’s gods way of keeping her safe So it should be a pretty accurate measure of potential dangers. Even attacks on her community should hopefully be considered an attack on her support network so it’s an attack on her.
plus, she’s clearly got a supernatural charm ability that just makes everyone love her immediately (not sure why it didn’t work on her parents) so most people should naturally want to help her and make her happy.
