  Une histoire magnifique avec de la vraie magie remplie de mystère et de secret que l'on apprend en tant que spectateur des recherches du protagoniste et non un simple système de magie où les niveaux définissaient leur puissance sans aucun fondement réel. Avec un personnage réaliste à la personnalité complexe et un univers profond qui tient la route durant toute l'histoire même quand cela se voit chamboulé. Un chef-d'œuvre de toutes les histoires que j'ai lu sur Internet. Désolé, je suis francais natif et j'ai lu l'histoire avec un traducteur automatique

  The author is very serious and on point with grammar, punctuation and story outline. This is a professional novel by any report.The initial introduction is, a tale that leads you through the world of gaming. Bought or sold a tale of friends and poor decisions that lead to one’s demise as a top gaming group drops their ratings after dismissing the real talent of the group, in favour of  a person judged on looks rather than ability.Step forward, a singular talent, drops the dead wood and strikes out on their own. The challenge is real, though the talent of the main character is stronger. They pierce through the obstacles and gain  new strengths.The love interest is prevalent, before and after. The Main character is the devoted type, no matter the cost, she supports her team. The struggle adds to the relationship, without feeling any danger to the couple. It’s a beautiful story of hard work and dedication. The gods and goddesses play their part along the other races of centuras and dwarfs. The party has an interesting group of different people, who harmonise to tackle the obstacles in their path.  The fight scenes leave a visceral sensation, leaving the reader feeling like they were part of the action. The story is as beautiful as it is long… great job author ✍️

  This is a wonderful story right here. The best for me is the hard magic system in place. The explorations of both magic and this fantasy world are great. Most interesting to me would be the changes in our MCs mood mindset and how she struggles accepts and enjoys these changes. An absolute gem.

  I'm still only early into the book, but so far the writing and editing is excellent.
  The Romance has started and is well written and doesn't feel cringy like it does in many novels.
  But most importantly the magic system being used is very unique and innovative! I'm deeply looking forward to what's coming up in future chapters!

  This is a story about addiction, obsession, and isolation. The MC is a deeper/darker version of the characters in popular books like Azarinth and Primal, sharing their most negative aspects but suffering for those rather than been idolized for them. It is really well done.It is told at an infuriatingly slow pace, if you can get past that, the pace serves a purpose in itself. Will update the review when the beta is over.Beta is over. Looking forward to what comes next.

  So first and foremost, I absolutely adored this story and would fully reccomend it.Cons: That said it does hit a few basic tropes (like OP MC, by far she is). While there's usually intriguing explanations for it, you know the MC is pretty overpowering. The Romance does go at a rapid pace from the get go, and the budding party never seems to turn down a party member yet always remains the perfect composition. If you're looking for a perfect, unique, awe inspiring story this is not for you. It also definitely feels like it's going the route of transmigration/Isekai, but that can be explained in how the author pretty much wipes out the out-of-vr life of the MC.Pros: For people who want to read about a relationship and not about a budding relationship, the speed of the romance doesn't matter. They're an adorable couple and It does feel like they've been together forever, and while the story staggers at that part its still a delight to read in a world where f/f fantasy is rare. (Spoiler Below). On top of that the whole wiping of the Mc's real life after the intro works out amazingly well to read about, as does why she's so strong (Spoiler Below!). Finally the world building is slowly growing into an immense and fascinating situation; Albeit it also furthers the Transmigration view of at least this reader!Spoiler: SpoilerSo first to Romance spoilers. It comes out they have a connection, to the point later on they can even try finding each other through their magic/souls. It's building up to probably reveal the equivalent of soul mates. On top of that both characters are pretty socially withdrawn, and Sigrid is Morgana's first taste of Attraction. She went for it full tilt and they feel 'at home' with each other.Now why does both the romance and the story progress so fast? It's in the base description.  Morgana is Obsessive Compulsive, a Professional Gamer of well over a decade, and has a good financial/home situation. She takes a year off reality and outside of a few hour

  I love pretty much everything about this book. The characters are awesome, the magic is intricate, I could go for more blue boxes but that's a personal preferences. The periodic "forum" chapters are always awesome.
  One critique would be some vocabulary issues - fudge instead of fugue, the wrong word in a few idioms, etc. Not a huge deal. It's an excellent novel, and one more pass by a skilled editor could make it even better if it were ever going on sale, but I love this book and would buy it in a heart beat if that were the case.

  A very nice story I come back too every once in a while. I have no idea why I never reviewed it before. Very good world building, great characters, an interesting magic system, some adventure, romance, drama, some combat (I usually skip those parts in most fics tbh), a lot of magic experimentation... What is there not to like ?
  Honestly I feel like what happens in the real world doesn’t really matter in this story, though it will become relevant in the futur I think.
  (Edit 200 chapters later : oh baby, yes, it does become important)
  This fic got some bad reviews, and yeah it’s not perfect, especially in the beginning. Still, the author got over 800 chapters to get better, and believe me they did. I’d say give it a try, don’t be too harsh on the first 40 chapters, and then enjoy the ride !
  The grammar is basically flawless, though there are some typos/missing words from time to time. It’s not really a problem imo.

  Reading this story has been a joyride from a "slower" start. I got through the first 10-80 chapters then dropped it for a month before picking it back up and rushing through about 500-600 chapters in the span of two weeks, just to give you a grasp of how entertained I found myself while delving into the world and characters.The story contains some of my most favorite elements from novels, with both the ever growing and slow-burn power system that makes itself still rewarding, the special blue boxes and stat systems every 5-20 chapters that remind you the characters are getting stronger, and the most important part of progression-like stories, a memorable and cherishing story.The characters, the world, all of it, especially the main character's own personal struggles between the virtual and in-real life world and becoming a NEET inside of the game, I found it all extremely enjoyable, entertaining, and fun. The characters are so well written you can't help but find yourself caring for their struggles, to feel the same emotions as them, and to find yourself wondering what you would do in the same situation.They are not all powerful, nor is it very bland, as the main way they grow stronger is through struggling, working together, nearing death (like hundreds of times LOL but every time it happens it was a good fight with a post-battle 3rd person perspective for the Interlude/advertisement from the in-story company) and simply learning more about the world.More than not, the thing thatreallymade this story count for me was the heart-sapping romance between the main character the the in-game NPC whom she came to care about more than anyone else. Every battle, interaction, and general plot point was built on this relationship, and for people who don't enjoy romance or something similar, you may not enjoy this story. Me on the other hand, I found it amazing and without spoilers, something which made it stand out from all the other +1 stat point novels.Just give it a read, m

  I liked the story and the magic system is also nice the only problem is hom much its taking for the beta to end but overall a great and enjoyable story i highly recommend for people who like fantasy and most of the tags mentioned in the story.  The only thing that bothered me was how quickly the mc and the love interest become in love its feel artificial and just weird
