Love the girl's progression, but man she acts way too old for a lil kid. It's a little wallbreaking
She got someone else's adult knowledge info dumped into her head, plus her parents were killed and she was abused at an orphanage for a while. It's like an accelerated crash course in survival and growing up. That being said, she is VERY cavalier about straight up killing people.

Less "growing up" and more trauma - what she went through is basically exactly how to turn a kid into a psychopath. I think that's hinted at by her attitude towards "adults" as a group. She's basically had to shed any capacity for empathy towards them. It's highly abbreviated (presumably the WN would take more time/go into more detail) and the glimmers of recovery from that state of mind due to the actions of Feld and Galbus seem too rapid, but especially in premodern societies where children were less sheltered from violence, I think what she's shown isn't immersion breaking.

Aside from the usual immersion breaking of a fantasy world with a status screen or equivalent skill but... well, fight the battles you can win, right?

I wonder how the original novel/plot would have went if she's this cold blooded now.

It's a bit more slender and curved than I imagined.

"He's a weirdo."
lol.

I like how casual he is about teaching her and letting her fight.

She's portrayed as cold and indifferent most of the time, and that's her base personality. It doesn't quite come off as much here. Even if she learns to trust some people, most people are still bastards until proven otherwise to her.

constantly blinding foes with their own weapon seems like a busted option if you don't have night vision lmao

It is hard to understand the dwarf at times with the odd choices of words.
All those apostrophes and missing letters do not help.
