I like the title! "Languorous" is too uncommon a word, I had to look it up. I think apathetic is an accurate and recognizable adjective to use for your MC. "Reincarnating" usually relates to death. I would put she: swaps bodies. I wish there was a more concise term to use. I imagine the phenomenon you describe is a one-way body-swap situation. I surmise "limbo" is what you call the event of your MC being warped through space-time. Limbo also relates to death and without explaining its meaning in the context of your story, could be interpreted incorrectly. I would instead write something like: find a way back home before it's too late.

Hi Hank. Thanks for your response. I agree on the "mysterious man" needing some digging into, but it's great to see that you understand the basic concept and think it could be interesting. Great input!

This could be a cool fantasy/adventure film! It seems like a family film peppered with darker moments. From reading certain words ("time-space", "warped"), I thought your story was science-fiction, until I saw that you've listed it fantasy. I like the descriptor for your MC. "Time-space" sounds awkward to me. If I'm not mistaken, it's called space-time, or you could say time and space. "The very first tears of her lifetime" is too wordy. Instead, you could write: her first tears. "Her ability", you should specify what her ability is. "Mysterious man", I think your antagonist needs a stronger descriptor.
