Our mc, Serena, was a homeless orphan girl who became an assassin when the opportunity came. Our story starts with her dying on a mission and reincarnating in a world of swords and magic. She is reborn as the daughter of a duke who is never home, and a hopelessly optimistic mother who fears her. After all, Serena was reborn with all her memories, then made no effort to adjust to her new life. Instead, she chases her old life because it's all she knows, and obviously, it's a little boring to try and live the life of a pampered rich girl. As a consequence, hermother adopts a normal, commoner orphan girl who can be raised and treated normally.

The writer of this story likes to get straight to the point with everything. They leave 0 unnecessary details, and I like that. They're not gonna dig into the nuances of society or who our assassins' targets are any more than they have to. We're never gonna see these characters or topics again, so the writer isn't gonna waste our time with them. The story isn't about her being an assassin; she just is one. It's not about magic or fighting, it just exists. The story is about our socially awkward mc navigating noble life, while still being her. It's about her being forced to learn what emotions feel like and what normal is supposed to be because of the people she finds herself surrounded by..
Yes, it is still a power fantasy where stuff happens just because it's cool. But the job of the reader is not to forget that it isn't what they were supposed to come for.

I like the plot for the story so far but everything else is very average. Not bad, but you're not gonna mention anything, like the art, in a recommendation. Read the story if you want a sassy but sexy female mc who doesn't understand life, and you want to see that fact change over time
