I will be writing this novel in my free time during and after work, so I apologize for the shorter chapters in advance. I hope that everyone enjoys this story in some way.

- L4nzknechtRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's a well written story about a survivor of a dying universe, getting moved to a new one in a gaslamp fantasy setting. The MC gets the assistance of a system, and is slightly OP, in a good way, in meaning she isnt a god, but more like a genius in her chosen field.
The grammar is good found no obvous flaws, nothing did impede my reading, faults get corrected as it is found.
It is a very plotdriven style, showing the story consistently from a limited third point of view, mainly from the MC but if needed switching to SC, or even Antagonist.
The MC is consistent in their thoughts and realistic in her decisionmaking.
I would strongly recommend reading this story, as it has pulled me in; and honstly left me a bit lost as i wait for the next chapters.
If you follow my advice have fun reading if not have a nice day and may you know you missed a great story. - CyclopsSlayerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0As of Ch 130 -
A truly enjoyable story. Excellent grammar, engaging story, a few character issues but nothing crippling or demeaning.
My largest issue is that the villains seem a bit too stereotypical. Too arrogant to be smart, but their portion of the story has barely begun, so we'll see in the long run.
Currently being released in 10 chapter blocks that I devour voraciously. Not sure if I'll starve to death if/when this drops to 1 a day. lol. - FoxesRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0There is a plot that leads, and that's enough for me. I like the engineering in which the main character participates, and I fantasize about this topic in my own way more than there are in the stories. I would like to continue to see what she will build more.
- xXx_GiGgLeS_xXxRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Well written, good grammer, good characters, and great plot. I had to force myself to stop reading to write this.
- Kyle MueheRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I am really enjoying this one. Keep up the good work.
If you have any bad comments - ignore them. - LaylinRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5I love the story but the MC in this novel is an idiot. Now there are many lovable idiot MCs out there, but sadly Zoey is not one of them.
Spoiler: Spoiler
Zoey is the kind of person that will slaughter hundreds of minions without a thought, but will hesitate to kill the leader because of ethical concerns.
All that said, I have read worse so I gave it 3.5 stars because I can see my self forgetting it's bad parts and coming back to try it again. - Clivemax20Royal Road★★★ 2.5Review as of Chapter 85 (I will not read further).
There is one main problem with this story that ties into the style, story, and characters. The author brings up plot points to hint at future things for the readers, but makes the characters ignore the flashing lights in front of their eyes. If the progression of the plot is predicated on the characters acting like complete buffoons, when that is not their character trait, then that should not be how you progress your plot.
Style: The style is pretty generic litrpg fair after the very interesting opening setup. A unique litrpg system does help, but the feeling remains similar to a lot of other works. The similarity is by itself not a bad thing, but after crafting such a great opening it falls flat. The score is lowered to a three star because of the 'let's ignore what's in front of our face because I don't want to deal with that plot point right now' device.
Grammar: I did not notice anything wrong about the grammar, so I can't give anything less than a five. I should note that I am not very good at noticing puncutation errors.
Story: An amazing opening that leads into a pretty normal litrpg fantasy story. There were a few hiccups during the beginning of the normal litrpg fantasy story of 'why didn't the author mention anthing about that', but I felt they could be brushed off up to that point. However, in recent chapters, the brushing off has reached hair pulling stupidity levels. I even did a quick glance over the next few chapters, but the issues had still not been addressed.
It should be noted that the problems of the recent chapters I've read aren't themselves so bad that I had to drop the novel, but combined with plot points from the beginning that haven't been addressed it became my breaking point. Even with my problems, I like generic litrpg stories, so three stars.
Characters: Continuing with my previous problems, to make sure certain plot points aren't addressed, the main character acts completely out of ch - EmlissRoyal Road★★★ 2.5At first I was very intrigued. The premise starts out well, very little grammar errors, and the magic system is interesting.
However, the main failing is that the speaker constantly tells us what happening instead of showing us. This is especially obvious with nearly every single sentence that uses an exclamation point.
Example:
"Their curiosity overcoming their uncertainty, the clanspeople were soon filing their way in the cargo bay, looking around in awe at the strange design, the crystal lights, and the glowing conduits that lined the walls. It was an alien design to them, as all they had known until now was the comparably primitive and inefficient aether piping that was used in most places. What they were seeing here was clearly more advanced!"
What does this whole paragraph tell us? The people look around in awe, but doesn't show us their reaction. The description of the ship itself is fine. But saying it's an alien design is pointless because it was literally designed by an alien to them. Similarly, the book has repeatedly mentioned that the MC has much better technology already. As for the final sentence with exclamation point, it's overdramatic and points out the painfully obvious.
This is honestly one of the more mild examples of redundancy. I think the author could make some great stories. But they have to fix 1) Show don't tell 2) Redundancies 3) Too much plot armor/OP main character (I didn't mention this but some other reviews did). - FriendofpastimeRoyal Road★★ 2.0Wishgranting storymode telling. Its passable and doable for audiance that need no basis of reality in their explanations.
This artstyle resemble how i come up with stories for my friends kids.
They love it but it feels unchallageing for myself.
/ds second language user here. - ImMrMeeseeksRoyal Road★★ 1.5The author just tells what happens and it really isn't much of a story, just someone doing stuff with no purpose. Disappointing too because its a cool premise.
