switching the main gimmick mid-arch with op powers be like

 

[carmozo]

What ? Blind Girl Isekai is evolving !

Blind Girl Isekai evolved to Not Blind OP Girl Isekai !

 

[Ozznik]

Well, I'm dropping this now. The gimmick of this was actually really good, but now they dropped the "blind" part which is even in the fucking title. It was a nice ride until here, but this is my stop.

 

[zehalper]

Myeah... I kind of just skimmed the chapter. Went from interesting to just another run-of-the-mill protagonist with cheat powers.

 

[Justking14]

people here are acting like she was ever really blind in the first place. She could see auras and navigate just fine

now she can just see how handsome her new daddy is. That’s all that’s really changed

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Blind girl is changing into a loli isekai!
Oh well, there's a chance that she will suffer some horrible wound and become blind forever.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

Spoken like a real well-adjusted person.

They are several category to blindness and it is not always total inability to see. I'm not an ophtalmologist, but even with her aura vision she doesn't appear to be too far from what is legaly considered blind.

It probably would've been better if it was some temporary thing like she can see for a few/seconds/minutes, but by the looks of it the auther doesn't give a shit

Going to agree with many others. Something like this should have been the finale of the manga. Or at least only have the ability for a really short period of time until she gets enough power to keep it up for longer. Keeping her able to do things while being blind would have been more fun. (I think I've read a few like that).
I'll still read it a bit but kind of disappointed in the premise & title in this situation.

 

[vodspod]

"she's pretty"
This girl just outed herself.

 

[ravidya]

This wouldn't be the first story I've read where a character lacks Sight, whether by birth or by consequence, and they use some magic vision to ignore that entire point. Then they're treated almost as if they never lost their sight outside of a few small mentions. This just goes, "Fuck it. It was hardly a gimmick at all at this point" and tosses away the pretense. If anything, she can use this to her advantage now since very few people know that she's no longer """blind""".

Blindness is a debilitating disability that is hard to write around, and it was hardly one even at the start of the manga. She showed no strain in using the ability to see via magic, and it seemed to cost her nothing to use it. It just took a moment for her to 'switch' it on when she wakes up, which is no different to how our eyes adjust when waking up.

This changes little in the grand scheme beyond gaining her super special Isekai(tm) powers from God that boosts Light magic and gives her Magic Sharingan. I don't think there's even an actual plot at, or before, this point besides 'evil noble being evil' and some vague notions about taking him down a peg.

Why do so many isekai get rid of their gimmick so early? A few do so before even getting into double digit chapters

 

[Hoezell]

She went from seeing nothing to seeing too much
lmao

 

[Salfaro]

I'm not gonna drop it, but it's still funny how much of a bait-and-switch it is after 15 chapters. This is basically just another saintess manga now.

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the chapter! Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed too. Not dropping it, but definitely disappointed.

 

[Drox]

always wondered why it was even called Blind Girl Isekai. (aside from the inital observational point of the MC)
it's clear that the title of the Manga doesn't translate into that.

just looks like someone got lazy with the title.

I think it's because the english title is blind girl isekai, ran the full japanese title through google translate and got this:

"I was reincarnated as a blind little girl ~I will survive by relying on the memories and magic of my previous life~"

So the idea that she's not blind anymore is kind of irrelevant to the title, but it's irrelevant either way, besides the cover kinda spoils it.

For me i will admit the change is abnormal but i'm glad it happened, if only we could do that in real life for blind people, i say this as someone who is partly blind in my left eye btw.
