Description

Selina’s got a pretty active imagination. When doing math, she pretends that she is a great detective solving a heinous crime! Ordinary tasks, like a trip upstairs, turn into a perilous adventure to raid a dragon’s cave! She believes that life should be full of wonder and magic, and tries to force the world to cope with her conviction!

But when Selina wakes up to remember her past life astheDemon Lord, she has to face the fact that real life is messy, and not anything like what she imagined. With ancient powers stirring, family problems, and the hectic life of a teenager, Selina will have to discover more about herself if she is going to survive the trials ahead. With the help of her best friend and a fair share of luck, she might just get through this alive. Maybe.

(Updates (hopefully) on Sundays)

This story started out as a flipped isekai. Instead of a hero being pulled into a medieval world, a Demon Lord is pulled into the modern world. It has since moved a bit beyond that initial premise but it is the foundation of the work.

Along the way, I threw in dragons, elves, dwarves, and some vampires (but no werewolves, gotta nip that in the bud) all wrapped up in the political drama of a modern world.

The story, however, will mainly focus on the characters and their development and as such, is a bit of a slow burn. It may take a couple of chapters to get into. You have been warned!

(PS, please show patience for the author's notes. They're a bit crazy and don't always make the most sense. The author's a bit of a ditz. Please ignore.)

    The story is still in its early stages, but what I've seen so far was enough to add it to my favorites list.
    The story follows a girl named Sel in a world much like our own, except it has a past of magic. It starts off quite lighthearted(excluding the first chapter), but as one disturbing thing after another is unveiled the tone shifts to compensate.
    Sel used to be the Demon Lord in her past life. Not just any demon lord at that, but a spider one. This makes her current life her first one as a human and it shows, she is first and foremost a young girl with insecurities and friendship on her brain. Add in all the fun intricacies that comes with having the memories of an evil arachnid, a best friend who wants to be a hero and strange happenings on the horizon and you get this incredible story. A story that is heart-warming at times and gut-wrenching at other times.
    The characters are hands down the best part of the story, every single character that is mentioned is intricate with a unique personality and motivations. The best part is the main character though, a bit ditzy for sure, but she quickly grows on you in just how genuine she is. I imagine she is probably the nicest most endearing person that used to be a demon lord one can come across.
    The story manages to mix in humor with the more serious and gritty aspects of Sels life without leaning too much towards either. The banter and chemistry between the characters is just A+. Hilarious stuff.
    Grammar is fantastic from what I've seen, I don't think I've ever gotten stuck on a single mistake so far so whatever mistakes there are, are negligible.
    I'd recommend for anyone that likes adventure or fantasy.

    At the time of writing this review Demon Lords Reincarnation is unlikely to see another update. Even so I recommend reading the twenty chapters that are released.
    The characters are so much more fun than almost any other characters I’ve seen on this site. The main character Sel is both relatable and comic. She feels like a real 13 year old and is skillfully fleshed out. The other characters are similarly deep and interesting to read about. The plot and worldbuilding are both excellent but with only twenty chapters not much has been shown.
    10/10 favourite story on site.
