However, because all her family members thought,「Since this child is so adorable and has such wonderful talents, she will grow up to be selfish if I don’t at least be hard-hearted and strict with her,」they had never once praised her. One day, a girl, Nina, a distant relative, suddenly became her sister-in-law due to circumstances, and Liliane, in despair at seeing how all her family members, who had never accepted her no matter how hard she tried, lavished praise on Nina, left a note and disappeared.

The remaining family members finally realize that「the whole family, including themselves, had never once praised Liliane」…

My Thoughts on Unaware Genius Girl Is Oblivious — I Ran Away From Home And Became An Adventurer Because My Family Did Not Praise Me At All Despite My Efforts In All Areas!
Okay, let's dive into this title that's longer than my grocery list. "Unaware Genius Girl Is Oblivious…" definitely grabbed my attention with its premise: a neglected genius running away from home. The setup promises a tale of regret and self-discovery, but does it deliver?
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued. The idea of a family realizing their mistake and the MC forging her own path held a lot of potential. The early chapters seemed to be building towards a satisfying exploration of complex family dynamics and the emotional fallout of neglect. I was ready for some angst and character growth.
What Works Well
Honestly, what kept me somewhat engaged were the glimpses into the family's reactions after Lilia's departure. These were the most compelling parts of the story. The dysfunctional dynamic of the family, and their slow, painful realization of their mistakes, was far more interesting than the MC's adventures in the outside world. I found myself wanting more of that internal conflict and less of the "MC does something amazing again" trope.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the novel stumbles in several key areas. The initial promise of family regret felt largely abandoned after the first few chapters, replaced by a fairly generic slow-life fantasy. The MC's character development seemed stagnant, and the emotional impact of her family's neglect was downplayed. The family dynamic, while initially interesting, devolves into a frustrating cycle of blame and self-pity. The adopted sister is a poorly written character who seems to exist only to create conflict, and her actions are often glossed over or excused. The pay-off for Lilia escaping her family felt underwhelming, and her eventual interactions with them left me wanting more.

Final Verdict
Ultimately, "Unaware Genius Girl Is Oblivious…" falls short of its potential. While the premise is intriguing and the glimpses into the family's regret are compelling, the novel suffers from shallow character development, a generic plot, and a frustrating resolution. I can't wholeheartedly recommend this one, unless you're really into slow-life fantasies with a dash of dysfunctional family drama.
