Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.When Viscount Ascham’s House’s eldest daughter, Adele von Ascham, became 10 years old, she remembered everything with an intense headache.
Her previous self, Kurihara Misato, 18 years old Japanese, lost her life when trying to help a young girl, and then she met God…
A somewhat capable person burdened by the many expectations of the surrounding people, Misato, who couldn’t live as she wanted, pleaded to God.
“In the next life, please make my abilities average!”
Yet, somehow the story is wrong!
The girl with 3 names, being careful to not accidentally become a S-rank hunter, lives normally.
I mean, I’m just an average, common girl. No, seriously.

(For the sake of completion I will note that I have not been able to tolerate watching the first episode of the anime to the end, but the TL;DR is that the novel is just much much better)
The novel actually features a proper exposition with decent character building and a lot more hilarious moments involving the protagonist, who is also just discovering the world step-by-step (as opposed to offhandedly explaining things with hindsight due to an in-medias-res approach). The characters aren't white-knight washed and actually have personalities and much deeper emotional arcs that explore their personalities and courses of action. As some of the other reviewers have noted, the quality of the translation has room for improvement, but it also has improved a lot since the time that most of those reviews were written (chapters~50-150). Since I've read it for the first time, I've read a lot of other novels, and maybe my standards have dropped a little to consider this acceptable, but I believe that it's more likely that the quality is at a level that doesn't cause too many hiccups while reading anymore. The only other possible downside that I could see is that not much is actually happening. It has more of a slice-of-life feel than many other fantasy novels and derives its content from the characters and their interaction with each other and the ones they encounter along the way rather than having a standard world-saving journey like most other isekai stories (it's there, but it's more subtle and doesn't have a priority). If you want a vanilla action-filled saving the world kind of deal, this may not be that interesting, but I personally actually like that aspect. It's one of my favourite stories overall, so if you can tolerate a translation that isn't 100% error free, give it a try.

- It must be said that the translation is bad, like godawful bad. Not only is this MTL, the translator (and maybe the editors too?) doesn't seem to have the English language proficiency to produce easy-to-understand sentences, which is to say the text is a chore to read through. But in the end, a bad translation is better than none (is that really true though??).
- The writing of just about any insignificant male character so far comes off as creepy, at best, to downright disgusting. To a lot of them, the initial intent towards our main characters (most of whom happen to be 'cute girls') is to r*pe them, marry them, or else 'protect' them. Really hard to read these parts without rolling my eyes.
Well, excuse me for ranting, but I had to find an avenue to let out my grievances with the story. But seriously, I do want to enjoy the story since I like its distinct approach to the isekai template, so it'd be great if I could do so without having to feel uncomfortable.
