So, I’m curious if anyone seen this short anime. I’m currently watching it, 3 episodes in and don’t know whether to proceed or to call it quits.

I love the worldbuilding, visuals and the fact that she’s a traveler but that’s about it. The fact she does not do much of help when needed kinda bothers me and I originally started his anime to have small cozy magic anime but 2 of the 3 stories are quite something (the plants & slave).

What’s your opinion about it? Do you recommend to continue?

If you're looking for a "small cozy magic anime" it might not be the right show for you. It continues being highly episodic. Sometimes the episodes are wholesome and would fit the "cozy" adjective very well, but other times, as you saw, they are quite the opposite. There's one episode in the later half that sticks out as especially brutal to me. There's also one that I remember as insanely funny and unique though.

If that's a dealbreaker to you, mabe dropping it is best. Personally I enjoyed never quite knowing what was going to happen from week to week while I was watching it while it aired, but I see why it wouldn't be for everyone. It requires the viewer to be in the right mindset and probably felt better with a week inbetween the episodes to reset between the separate adventures.
