Well written and enjoyable story if you enjoy character development. The AI is more than just a fish out of water, she is a fascinating being who comes to understand what humanity is and how she fits into it. Also, there’s magic and the system is simple and consistent. The magic is described in a unique manner. There’s not a lot of other characters or an antagonist as of yet, but it’s a slow burner type. The quality of the prose is quite good. The dialogue is great. Two big thumbs up.

I’m liking the story so far. It is fun to watch the main character interact and develop with her curiosities and questions.
We do not get full access to the “system” until around chapter 20 which I find to be an interesting unique twist to the litrpg genre. I’m curious to see how gaining levels and increasing “stats” affects the characters.
