Interesting but dissapointing

I will probably continue the story because of the scarcity of books with this setting and genre but the story itself was a bit disappointing.

I do not understand the reason for the main character being isekai'd into the world, if it didn't happen and we came across the main character already being 15 I do not think it would have changed the story at all. It would have actually made more sense in some situations with how the main character responds in certain scenes. For someone with the mentality of a supposed adult, they constantly acted like a child. Characters would comment on her matureness but it never really comes across to the reader.

There is an uncomfortable amount of sexualisation of minors, which did nothing for the story and felt like it was only there for the reader's imagination.

The background lore of the world is pretty cool. I like the explanations for alternate historic events and the makeup of Australia and the rest of the world's politics and class systems.

The story skips multiple months and lingers on transparent plot points and ends up feeling all over the place. The idea for the story is very interesting but unfortunately falls flat on the execution.
