@RubyG8396 you scared me there so I went to check but the synopsis in myanimelist confirms it starts with her as a child like the original :') gratefully...
@smokeball this is actually a spinoff of the original adaptation (where she gets her memories back at age eight) She may not be the most interesting character, but she's very cute and in the original while attempting to avoid death flags she accidentally makes everyone fall in love with her (but she is so dense that she doesn't even notice their feelings) if you don't like this sort of thing, just don't read it! There's no need to make nasty comments, besides, I hardly think one chapter (especially one with as little information as this chapter has) is enough to judge whether it is "third rate" or not.

When prompted for difficulty, you shouldn't have selected "Hard"... You could've had it easy. You could've grown a sick ass garden and built a reverse harem in no time flat.
Maria in this version is so much more pitiable. Poor commoner, no fancy dress, not that cute face, and constantly bullied. Totally can sympathize. In the OG version she's not that interesting because she's just too plain.
