Description

This story is a fan fiction set in Selkie Myth’s Beneath the Dragoneye Moons world setting. I don’t have any rights to the setting of this work.

Elizabeth was a child actress. Raised in a high class family, her future was secure as she breezed through arts and performance classes at her university.

She didn't get that secure future.

Cast through space and whatever the time was like in the process, she is saved by a beautiful goddess, then shipped off to Pallos.

Will she make it through her traumatic experience in the void only to lose her life to the dangers of this new world?

Or will she rise up, secure divinity and confess her love to the perfect goddess of her dreams?

Wait, she already confessed? How could she fail now?!

I thought that the writing felt very nice and refined. The situations and the flow of conversations felt natural and alive, and made it very easy for me to sink into the story.
The divine intervention from Seira as well as her mission were very fun to me. The way Seira is portrayed here is one I've never considered, and I enjoy seeing her and what she stands for in less of a dusty-stickler-for-rules-way. The mission she gives Liz sounds cool, even though we haven't really gotten to the point where we can see Liz really working on it - yet.
I actuallly do appreciate that Liz keeps reminding herself that she is currently recovering from severe trauma, and that she should be focusing on healing. The way she seems disconnected from her emotions and sometimes surprised at how little some things make her feel seem like a good way to show that.
I'm excited for more and very grateful that you've written this :)

A wonderful, authentic tale that maintains the same style and sense of wonder as the original setting, Beneath the Dragoneye Moons. Any fan of the original work will enjoy this book as well. This doesn't have the feel of a fanfic, but a full spinoff novel.
The story of Elizabeth's journey in Pallos to become worthy of her Goddess Seira's love is both action packed and heartfelt. Aleah Cat weaves a tale that has a clear end-point, but the journey is full of enough twists and unexpected surprises to keep the reader on their toes. Every revelation has the right balance of foreshadowing to keep you guessing, and provide satisfying payoffs that dont feel forced.
The LitRPG elements are excellent. The original work by Selkie has an excellent system, and here the classes and leveling are just as well thought-out and enjoyable. Elizabeth quickly becomes a very powerful classes for her level, but tension is maintained as she falls into situations that pit her against higher level threats. There's always a bigger megalodon.
This story also ties in to several other Beneath the Dragoneye Moons fanworks that are well-rated, though I haven't finished them yet: Blind Chaos by CrimCat and IO Stream by Duct Tape Engie.
