Many people do horrible things to their own children. At least she realises that something is wrong with everything.

Could remove "Isekai" and nothing would change. Not anything bad though, this is an interesting story. Seems like they're about to reunite 👀

 

[Rexflexz]

Thanks for the chapter. I have a feeling the sister is going to get taken before they can meet. Would be interesting if something else happened though

You just pointed out the biggest flaw of 99% isekai out there.

Isekai is author’s cheat mode which allows a character not to act their age or in other unexplainable ways. It’s often the lazy way to build “character”.

 

[Danwoo]

Oh man, it's almost time! Hope the older sister doesn't get kidnapped right before they meet. Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Gu7]

please let them be reunited

If used properly, it can work well.
But then again, most isekai authors aren't that capable.

i mean writing child characters can be rather hard to do for quite a lot of people. It's nearly as hard as having good child actors.

That’s the problem. Most just use it as a quick fix to explain the mc’s knowledge. In order for it to be actually decent it should have some importance to the story. If you can replace isekai with a smarter-than-normal/mature kid then there’s no reason for isekai. If it’s only a matter of giving the character additional power/OP then isekai is also usually quite meaningless. How many of these stories only mentions isekai things in first chapter for it to never be mentioned or be relevant again?
/end small rant

There are way to many isekai's "in name only" out there. It's not all bad since there is an amount of them are pretty good, it's just that they should've never been given the isekai tag to begin with due to it being largely irrelevant to the story. IMO, if you're gonna make an isekai, the main character has to have a lingering attachment of any kind to their former lives or knowledge that will assist them with their new lives.

I think, for many of them, it could well have been the editors/publishers insisting on it. For a lot of media, companies play by 'familiar = safe profits', and they're not terribly interested in taking risks in putting things out there that don't fit the current trend. This is especially true in written works. Once a series is established, or an author has proven that they can get sales regardless of what they write, they tend to have more freedom in what they can get published, or can move the series to what they wanted it to be in the first place, but until either of those are met... Executive Meddling~ Woo... 🙄.
Just like how movie critics failed to see the appeal of the recent Super Mario Bros. movie, and expected it to flop, sometimes the people with influence fail to understand what people expect/want from their media.

Yeah, and it's pretty obvious whenever the editors or higher-ups forcefully add an element to a story. I'm a simp for isekai's or any kind of fantasy and I enjoy even the trashiest ones (most of the time), but it does annoy me when the isekai element is introduced only for it rarely touched on again.

 

[larcek]

i wonder if Garu will meet the assassin first and thus getting the wrong, but likely, impression that even MC's sister might be involved in the plot against her life, thus making them extend their travels.

Thanks for the chapter

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the chapter! I'm really looking forward to the long-awaited reunion!

thks for the chapter

Regarding the Isekai aspect, it could just be that the author likes that genre. I love the genre, and even if it's a minor aspect I still enjoy it so long as the story itself is enjoyable. I'm a sucker for reincarnation stories, so anything with the "Isekai" or "Villaness" tag will grab my attention. If you enjoy a particular facet of media and have the chance to make your own then why wouldn't you channel your interests, y'know?

Edit: There was also a few instances where she did find similarities to the food she ate to food from her previous world. She also thought to herself about the difficulties of being an adult inside the body of a child as well as internally remarking that she's actually an adult inside whenever someone points out how mature and capable she is. Again, it's pretty minor and doesn't affect that story that much, but if she was a literal child with no prior memories the story could very well have played out differently. She's handling things as well as she is because she isn't a normal child.
