I have mixed feelings on this one too. Everything in Volume 1 felt indeed really rushed and forced. You just know her mother was about to die soon, but this way ? ... and the overall execution was mostly what we are used to in series with a bastard child protagonist. Volume 2 was slightly better, But I regret that it didn't take a Saijaku Tamer direction (I mean a "foster parent"/child protagonist traveling story.) . I will probably put it on my low priority starting from Volume 3. That said, Misha is an interesting protagonist, and I like her teacher so far.

Is ANN not crediting translators for novels anymore? Seems like an especially weird decision here since J Novel Club puts its translator credits so front and center

Contrary to the apparent majority opinion, I personally adore the story.

I like the real trauma hiding in her over losing her mother, and how it keeps surfacing in things that remind her of her mother. And how there is a farie like legend thing happening in the background with its fantastical elements. Wont I do not like is the sense of this girl charming people around her, of them supernaturally being altered by her presence either positively or negatively. It gives me the worried about subtexts feels.
