very interesting twist on isekei, but it suffers from tragically classic shallow writing as well as the weird habit manga authors have of treating little rugrat toddler-ass characters as full grown adults. no 7 year old is gotta be that eloquent and skilled no matter how much otherworldy knowledge they get, that's a child. have you ever seen a child in real life? they ain't doin' all that.

I somewhat agree, but I believe there is a gimmick where her body has grown significantly faster or something like that, so she looks older.

Just started reading. It's not bad, but I've no idea why this needed to be a self aware game/isekai thing. Like that could all be thrown out and just replaced with fate or predestination and it would have worked way better than this otome thing.

Super recommend. This is a good read so far (even in current light novel). In summary, it's otome-related world but the story is not built that way. But instead more like a shounen manga and our little girl is cool as hell. Heck, she'll be cooler for each passing day as the story move on.

Because there are two isekai'd people in this setting and two people who were affected by that isekai'd memoryset. The conflict comes from the context of the memories and how they reacted (Fear vs Ticket to Power).

I'm kind of sad that the
himbo Gai and the Black Kitty shadow girl were written out(killed) of the story. Both were way too nice to be assassins.
As the MC said too soft hearted. Slum kids being used.

Her strength growth is slow though, it adds to the thrill that Aria(Alicia) has a lot of potential for growth. I liked the series so far and the story is getting better and better as it progresses. I also liked that she has no potential partner(yet). I hope it stays that way.

Is really weird that in order to get some cold hearted badassery i need to read a loli manga. While the majority of shonens are like "muh power of friendshit" "killing you would make me like you" and all that shit.

It's incredible that the Assassin's Guild is feared when every field-agent is so stupid and petty that they seem like they were pulled out of Mean Girls. These are the high-grade assassins who make up for their very small numbers with skill? Really? It's literally a conga line of people both claiming to be remorseless assassins and then dying on unvalidated suspicion based off a stupid original goal of attacking a new member for no reason. If this is all it takes to entirely derail their entire member roster (that is, a random person joining) then I'm not sure how they do work at all.

The MC had to observe them, get a feel for their personality and skills, and lay traps though. Random guards or whatever wouldn't have that opportunity. Without a high-ranking party laying an ambush the shadow cat wouldn't have gone out so easily, the himbo underestimated the MC's extensive preparations to kill specifically him, and the most recent goth loli chan was simply too predictable and arrogant, as stated. But as assassins who enjoy complete information advantage on unaware targets? They're sneaky and strong enough. Plus those were the juniors anyway, the real big shots are all still alive and almost certainly wouldn't have been killed by those traps.

And with one additional chapter we find out that the higher-ups are equally childish. The leader of an assassin guild who couldn't comprehend that his teacher would possibly resent him strong-arming her into teaching him, never reflecting on that thought process, and just holding onto his insecurity the entire time he's building a guild from the ground up. The same guild that apparently has members who coast on poison resistance to such a degree that you can easily poison them by just doing it slightly longer.

At this point I'm just waiting for whatever pathetic character flaw for the sage to pull out. Maybe he can't actually read.
