Description

Rina had a fairly normal childhood. However, it changed when she entered puberty, as she suddenly felt somewhat attracted to her twin sister. Unfortunately, her feelings towards her grew each day until they reached the state, where Rina feared that she would attack her sister and do something irreversible. Thus, slowly but surely she distanced herself from her twin in order to protect them both.

Since then everything around her spiraled downwards. The abuse from her father became harder to endure, her mother and sister started to openly insult her and her friends suddenly avoided her.

So, in order to not get crazy Rina isolated herself even more and tried to escape the despair that had gradually built up in her. She fled into a fantasy world of a novel to forget bad things, pleasured herself to relieve herself from stress, and resorted to eating en masse when the despair became too much to endure.In the end, it didn't help.

To make matters worse, when Rina thought there was salvation for her after all, she was killed the next moment.

When she came to again, she found herself in the body of a newborn in a magical world.Looking back at her previous life, she only felt so miserable because she had hoped for something good back then, be it love, recognition, happiness, or whatsoever.In her new life, she will not repeat the same mistakes.

Also, FMC is quite depressive at the start and her character will develop over time. If you can't handle that, please turn around.

This is an interesting take on a girl that is so mentally abused (by herself and her family) in one life that she is still a broken person upon being isekai'd. It's nice to see her create bonds with people but I can still feel her pain and feelings of worthlessness even 70 chapters in.
It's on hiatus right now.. but I sincerely hope the author will come back and keep writing to the end.

The very beginning of the story isn’t the best, I almost skipped most of the chapters but it gets a lot better after Rina becomes the princess’ maid. Wish it wasn’t on hiatus since I would love to see this continued. Don’t expect perfect writing but Ii was good enough to keep me reading and enjoying after a certain point.

Please read this review fully, also there's spoiler of the first seven chapters in it, so if you don't want to be spoiled, read at least the first seven chapters of the story.
Pretty good story so far even though I think the author use commas in place that didn't need them sometimes.
The protagonist is... something, she is dense but in a weird way. Most of the time someone compliments her or say something nice to her, she would overthink it in a bad way to finally come to the conclusion that this was not a compliment, so it will be hard for her love interest to be understood because most of the things she would say would probably be misinterpreted by the MC.
Of course, the MC's reactions are understandable because through all her past life and her first years in the new world she was treated like sh*t, so it's logical that her self-confidence will be non-existent.
Changing the subject, it's true that the abusive comportment of her past family is not well explain, we know that (I don't if it's a spoiler but it's explained in the first seven chapter of the story) her mother started being mean towards the MC because MC's father was constantly mean to the MC and she (MC's mom) didn't want to be on the bad side of her husband.
MC's sister started being mean to her because the MC started to avoid her because of her feeling, so MC's sister decided to do what her parents did (MC's sister also said in the story that she completely forgot her memory of before she was 12 but I don't know if it's the truth).
Finally, we don't know why the father started to be abusive towards the MC, it's not explain, like at all. But, it's a book, it needs means to its ends, so I think it's normal to find holes in it.
I found this story easy to read and spent a whole day (from 12am to 11pm) reading it without feeling the time flow. Don't really know why but I enjoyed reading it so I think it's good to give it a try. The first seven chapters are like the prologue of the story, so I would recomme

Synopsis:
All-in-all, while the premise is intriguing enough to get me to start, the story didn't hold my attention at all, simply leaving me frustrated with the choices to make the MC both fat and a coward AND successful enough to have savings. The fact she loved her twin has had 0 impact beyond superficial reasoning, and Im so tired of the writing style, like they wanted to make an anime but can't draw (which mood, but stop it), that I didn't even get to the isekai portion.
Thoughts:
I can't be bothered to get any further into this, to maybe see whether the isekai aspect will be interesting. I have no faith it will. So far, nothing has been unique, nothing special, nothing interesting, other than the MC is into her twin, which like, I get it, but also.... It literally means nothing to the story and is a totally unimportant detail.
MC's family feel like NPCs, abusive and rude for no real reason. The father is just a piece of trash as typical of these types of stories when you have NO good reason to make the MC "Good" but need something to blame. The mother is a cowardly loser who the MC takes after, and the sister is just annoying, though she has some portion of a fraction of a reason. The MC supposedly got a college degree, had a good job (her boss was begging for her not to quit) and she just gave it all up, with no reason, to sit at home and be abused.
Honestly, none of that is the worst offender of this story. No, the worst offender is the WAY its written. The constant separating of every line into its own paragraph kills the flow and hurts my immersion, and the sound effects and descriptions of what the MC is eating like 3 chapters in? They take up a lot of page without providing literally anything to further the story. In all honesty, you could remove half of the first 5 or so chapters and it would read a lot better probably.
