As of chapter 6
The story feels like a smut that had the sex scenes removed (but kept in some fully naked ladies). The plot strongly relies on FL and the villainess she swapped bodies with being extremely horny, like, to a problematic degree (FL masturbated herself to death).
ML gives FL a pet with a built in magic spy camera and watches her when she's alone in her room in her underwear...so even though the story for some reason doesn't portray him this way (he's spying on her because she's acting strange), I can only think of him as a pervert.
I really appreciate that the story actually dwells on how confusing and scary it would be to have your life swapped with someone from another world, though it doesn't go deep enough into it. She sort of thinks about how her new "family" are all strangers, but I don't think the story really goes far enough with it. Also the conclusion to this part of the plot has an extremely unsatisfying conclusion. It builds up to her wanting her life back, but then she talks to god again and suddenly she's ok losing her entire life and remain trapped in this one where she can never live the life she wanted to have and will instead be a baby factory for the royal family. The only explanation given is "her soul made its choice" rather than, you know, her conscious mind?
All in all, I feel it falls just short of everything its trying to be, and instead just creates a slightly creepy and unsettling setting where FL has no control over any aspect of her life, even her own will. I won't be continuing this one.
it'd be great if it was more 'fleshed out' ya know? a bit more content. it all feels like it skims the surface
Going into such detail about how she got a new body honestly makes this far more horrifying than most isekai stories. This fully feels like someone happily stole her body and life, and she's trapped in someone else's skin, in a completely unfamiliar world, surrounded by strangers that think they know her, while an uncaring god looks on. I hope the story actually takes this setup seriously now that its been established.
This honestly felt like a completely unsatisfying conclusion to the life-swap situation. We go from FL increasingly wishing she could get her life back to just suddenly going "actually my subconscious decided I was wrong"?
That "lake" looks like it was five feet across.
