Erin is consistently presented as very intelligent since Volume 1, by saying 'stupid' I mean how her naive beliefs and attitude land her in horrible circumstances. To be fair, it might just be Erin being starkingly different from typical protagonists, especially webnovel ones. She is very much against violence and killing, even against people who try to hurt her, which makes her look extremely naive and stupid. But at least the story treats it seriously and Erin suffers for it, heavily, so it makes sense. After all, she does kill a hobgoblin who tries to murder and rape her by drenching him in boiling oil, horrifingly burning off his face. And then sitting next to him when he keeps on breathing in pain for minutes, until he finally dies. The story does not fuck around.
