  This is very good so far! Starts with the standard reincarnation and litrpg set up. Lady reincarnated into a baby and starts working super hard to fulfill her dream of becoming a punch healer.
  Then the fact she is in a zany knock-off medieval society makes things interesting and challenging! Very good 10 half stars out of ten half stars.

  Characters are a little strange, motivations are a little off in the same way the dialogue is.
  Also, they put 3-year-olds into the story who had full, detailed conversations. What's up with that?
  Action needs some work. If you're in a fistfight with someone, you cannot take the time to roll away from them. You will get your teeth kicked in.

  The story is brilliant, all the charecters are relatable and well developed. The author doesn't shy away from cruelty and horror but they don't over do it either, the perfect balance.
  The only issue is the short chapters, as soon as I start  getting into the story and the world, the chapter is over, now it is offset somewhat by the frequent updates but still, I think each chapter should at least be twice the current size as right now, it's very immersion breaking.

  It's a good litrpg. It's not overly crunchy in its numbers and skill.
  The MC is isakai-ed from earth to a world with magic. She retains her knowledge from earth, but starts as a baby. While growing up she acts too mature for a child, but too immature for a grown adult.
  The story treads familiar ground to stories like beneath the dragon eye moons and azarinth healer, but is an interesting story unto itself.
  The world has intrigue and politics, but isn't completely wrapped up in it.
  Overall worth the read and you can empathize with the characters.

  Overall, this story is going in the right direction.  There has been a lot of worldbuilding.  It has the bones of a VERY long story.  I am personally not a huge fan of the political box that the MC has been painted into, but others may like it more.
  We seem to be moving into the meat of the story as the MC ages.  Up to this point(~100k words), the story has been “prologue-ish”.  I am looking forward to the MC unlocking her class and the story really picking up steam.
  The bones are great and I am looking forward to more.

  "Show, don't tell" is a rule for a reason. The author disagrees with such a view and uses any chance to demonstrate their opinion. The struggle is real and I strongly do not recommend this story if you are looking for a smooth writing style.
  On the other hand, if you are looking for a certain formula which is executed by the book, you can get it here, no problem. The story seems to aim for a scripted development from the beginning and no deviations are expected. The main character is reincarnated on a new world after backstory which becomes irrelevant at the end of chapter 1. The future class developments are preset because she likes wrestling and wanted to be a doctor. Also, the first words she hears when being reborn are that she will become the greatest healer. Surprises or self discovery are not things one should be worried about.
  The world and the people inhabiting it also know their place. There is a big bad church with fanatic followers who form a mob when commanded, while the good guys are good by default and we know who they are 1.5 seconds after being introduced to them. The stage is set, the monochrome hats had been already passed around and the only thing left is to enjoy the choreography of the fights.
  The author clearly knows what they want and if you think that you can like the description above, you might enjoy it as well.

  ★★★ 3.0

  It's a well written story, with hints and deep mysteries and glimpses of a wide world that can be explored. But that doesn't help anything when it reads as misery porn with no light in sight. With no catharsis for the pain and suffering in the near future. No hope. And that is exactly how it reads, to me, and that is discouraging.
  Laying the proper groundwork and building up the character of the protagonist is important. When that groundwork and build-up consists of negative upon negative, trauma on trauma, with no end in sight. That makes it really difficult to read.
  There's a lot of "stick" so far, in this story. There's very little "carrot" aside from possible revenge in the indeterminable future.
  Adding to that difficulty, and quite frankly frustration, is the complete lack of agency of the protagonist which is almost always a problem with these child to adult stories.
  As it stands right now, the story is over saturated with negative emotions with very little to provide a relief of those emotions to the reader. It makes the protagonist come off as a wet blanket even though she's really not. She's just so drowned in misery that it's hard to glimpse her strengths.
  Despite that, I'm intrigued enough to keep reading and see where it leads me. My hope is that the child phase will be over sooner rather than later and the adult years will redeem the poor start.

  Interesting and captivating premise. Quite like the book, sadly -author stopped writing when it got interesting. Hopefully it will see the light of day in the near future if you like azarinth healer this book is of a similar vibe. Would have liked a bit more fleshed out story and not skipping ahead 3 years and so. I like the reincarnation bits a lot.

  ★★ 1.5

  The bad : I have no idea what the point of Lily being isekaied is since most of the time she don't even seems like she remember her old life She almost never uses her old experiences or comments on the differences between both worlds.
  She was supposedly a school teacher reincarned in a little girl body, yet she is unable to understand children or interact with them.
  People don't seem to be weirded out when a 3 years old speak in full sentences and can count to 60, so I assume children in this world grow up faster than in ours. But once again, Lily doesn't comment on this. Maybe the author doesn't have any idea of roughly when a child can speak in full sentences or count ? (To clarify : I know some children can speak and count much sooner than the others, and Lily being isekaied could very well be one of those, but then why isn't anyone weirded out or commenting on it ? )
  Oh, but those children who are already able to think and speak like adults still have to wait for years before they can receive a real education, because... reasons ? I assume the god said it was so. Or maybe the author realized that writing young children was hard and needed an excuse to skip time and get to Lily's teenage years quickly.
  Religion is yet another bad point of this story. It is a generic "big bad" religion, that portrays itself as "good" while being  incredibly intolerant of anything and anyone. That could be a good trope if it was well implemented, but it is so over the top it's almost funny.
  The good : chapters are short so you can quickly read enough to understand how bad the story is and that it won't get any better.

  Not sure how, but the main character gets more and more stupid over time.
  Maybe us readers just couldnt see it over the child abuse and torture, who knows.
  My review has dropped from five stars to 3 to 1 and now to a half.
  It appears as if the author is trying to write a charcter that is supposed to be much more inteligent than them, since the MC should have multiple masters as a teacher that it trying to become a doctor. As such the MC is now acting like they are 12 instead of around 40, including stupid religious assumptions that any reasonable isekaied person wouldnt agree with.
  TLDR: This novel contains child torture, VERY shallow characters that all have a varaiety of mental problems and no real magic system nor explanations about it.
