I love my “developing my unusual hobby” isekai stories as I don’t think there’s enough of them, but I really get frustrated when it gets to a point where the MC gets so engrossed in it that they start becoming a burden to those around them and don’t think of the long-term consequences of leaving their problems for future-them until it’s too late.
In five years, she has not resolved how she’s going to explain to her family the status of their family heirloom sword. She has not thought of how she’s going to circumvent the issue of her inheriting the family legacy when she has stated she has no intention to and will straight up ditch the family and all who care for her.
