The plot was intriguing, the MC’s interactions were hilarious and enjoyable. Very good grammar. There are 5 chapters so far.
PS: I want to slap whoever gave this awesome work one star, with a trout.

This series is great for getting a quick laugh, the MC is basically trying to avoid as amny protagonist flags as possible but the universe knows how to keep it interesting. Effectivly anything that can happen will happen and any trope or cliche you can imagine will be used to make you laugh as it gets ripped to shreads.

Really good the plots are really unique and refreshing compared to the old overused topics that many others use however its so … crazy, confusing, chaotic. Although I know you meant it to be like that starting from arc 3 my mind can’t keep up. I am still reading and I do find your story to be WAY better than alot of the “top” stories its just that wow you drop so many hints and foreshadowing but I still don’t get it until you tell us. One of the things I like is that characters in your story have so many twists and turns even a character that you may find shallow is actually way more complex then you think however I think I’m starting to not trust any of them because every time I think I like them and find it cute I find out they are the mastermind behind everything. Your story is like an illusion just like what your character says you try to accept it yet deny it at the same time. Whenever you find something to trust and think the plot will stay on this topic you give us a new radical yet amazing new topic. Overall I found your story amazing but as the stupid person I am I can’t describe it in words.
It’s a story you just can’t understand until you read it for yourself while you may hate it or like it or even both it just sticks in your mind as you try to figure out what does it all even mean.

Well, this story is definitely not normal. But I love it. It broke my legendary plot twist-guessing skills, and the NPCs who were actually he humans who's accounts had been deleted? That didn't. So, while it not making sense AT ALL sometimes and occasional grammar errors lose you half a star, this. Is. Amazing!

I’ve not got much else to say. The chapters are short, but it’s a fun idea and is being put out sort of quick at this point, and the grammar seems as good as most other stories I’ve read, and the end bits, with what she stopped happening to her and wrought upon others is fun. However, I would encourage the author to keep this pace, or shorten the chapters if the grow longer, too long for the daily rate to continue, as it isn’t yet, in my opinion, good enough for longer waits, like Isania or Fantasia. Otherwise, you’re doing well. I mainly wrote this to off-balance the 2 silent reviews, which I hate. If you rank something low, SAY WHY!!!! DON’T JUST LEAVE A LOW RATING!!!

i'm reading it as fast as it comes out i love the story and the comedy CANT WAIT TILL THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!!
only one thing is i feel like it needs a little more narrative to confirm what's happening around the charters.
sometimes i get a little lost...
it might be just me?

The concept is quite interesting and entertaining, there are lots of funny situations. But the way that is narrated let it fall.
"What do you mean?"
1º person narration is know for not having that much of details, but yours lack too much even for 1º person.
"And...?"
And it prejudice the flow of things/actions happening. It's all over the place.
Also, you had lots of interesting stuff that you could have explored and used it to show how the relationship of the characters were and evolved, the issues with Yuri's personalities, but instead you rushed way too much and just mentioned by passing on the story or making a "glossary" or replied the doubts of the readers on the comments, which by the way if the author have to reply the way too many doubts of the readers by comments (instead of showing through the story) it means that something is wrong ( don't mix curiosity with holes on the story or the way to tell the story!). The 1º arc is quite the example, it could be the arc for presenting the characters, relationships (and development), the personality issues, it should be the arc base/foundation for all that could come after.
Also there's another little bit of problem: Comments of the author throughout the story.
"Heh?!"
It breaks the flow of the story, that's also why many others authors make author notes at the beginning or at the end of the story (at the ends you don't have to care about giving spoilers of that chapter).
The grammar is not the best, but is readable.
You talk that you don't like nor is much good to make romance scene, but romance doesn't mean honey/lovey dovey things/actions/situations. There are many stories (fiction, manga, movie, real story) that have that sickly sweet love, it doesn't mean there doesn't exist a sort of romantic love that the couple act like normal or partners (partners in crime >D). The challenge is to show it without going overboard.
The characters are interesting, but as result of the problem that I pointed previously, there

Story is fine, and okay, no problem about hiding stuff for later. The problem is the writing itself is a mess.
It is not always sure who is talking in a dialog and sometimes you have to spend even more time to find out who told what.
When you get in pov It does not show from whose perspective you read. And It can cause a lot mess cause It can be ANYONE. Superannoying, and comes the first dialog and you do not know who is talking to who, and which one is the pov. ANNOYING.
There were the resume chapters concluded the arc and I have to say by the writing, I would have to get an understanding in one or two things in chapters which I missed(only 2 things in arc 6 cuz I am that good), cause It was all so messy. But even author thinks we should have known that info by that resume chap. Like something revealed or happened to yuri.
Annoying.
Grammar is not as annoying, there are flaws regularly, but whatever.
I would give 5* If not for that messy style and grammar.

Lets get this over by catigories, best to the worst.
Grammar: Its readable I know what the author is saying, if there are mistakes its not that noticable.
Story: Its interesting in concept, its about a girl who tries to avoid cliches from different geners and is generaly trying to be a normal girl, I think.
Charecters: Their one dimensinal, we have, Sis-con/yandere, femboy/love-interest??, Pervert-lesbian, and then a few others who are seen once and never agian. I was fine with the lack of depth in the beggining, their made from cliches to begin with, but I was expecting some twist to them, but nope.
And from where I dropped the story the MC just dropped the love interest??? With very little build up.
And here is where we get to the worst part, the MC
I think its considered a spoiler so in it goes.
The story included in what was most likely ment to be a joke a pantheon inside her head, we have the multiple parts that build up her personality such as, Queen, Fencer, Healer, Crafter, Berserker, and many more!
Thats fine, until they seem to directly control her. Dialog will have them giving control of the body to one another. But by this point I already didnt know what was going on.
Up until this point your probobly asking what the problem is, it seems ok so far, but this is where it goes down hill.
Story: For the first few chapters I knew what was going on, until it just started to unroll. I didnt know what was going on and neither did the MC. She sometimes just woke up and said, ok guess I'm here now. I had little to no idea what was going on for a good bit of what I read.
