- reddirRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Up to ch 55
I am enjoying this thoroughly! It is a delightful read, the author brings together several (sometimes disparate) elements to make a tale that is satisfying but still very cheery and life-positive.

So... I guess it starts a bit slowish, but the start is good in setting the character concept. - BlazingImp77151Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I absolutely adored this story. At first I wasn't too sure because of some character behaviours, but as the story progressed and the characters grew, I became more and more entrapped. By the end, I was laughing at all the little jokes, and feeling all the feelings. I loved the story, loved the characters, and will definitely be looking for more of Razzmatazz's work.
- CorrectedHorseRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0As other reviewers have noted, the first twenty or so short chapters are very not reflective of the overall quality of the story, It dramatically opens up and becomes richer after them, with both the writing, plot and characterisation improving as it morphs into a slice of life dungeon store story.
Five star rating as of chapter ninety. - EldritchPastaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0First time writing one of these, but I did say I would write one, and I feel like I should after reading the whole story.
For the style, I'd say that the story is a strange one. You have slow burn, but fast paced moments. You have cliches, yet many times they get subverted and changed in a way that you love. The story is amazing, researched for any added events or historical names, and in general one can see how much care was put into each chapter.
Grammatical errors are few and far between, any comments of the ones that do exist are thanked and the error removed. Yes the earlier chapters are "better" than the later ones, thought that is simply by way of someone growing as an author and getting better at their craft, and boy do they get better!
Pretty much every character is fleshed out, given life beyond simply "Jane walks to the bakery every day and picks up bread." You read about a place, you are shown that piece of the world. Everywhere was alive and moving, things flew in the daytime and creatures went bump in the night.
Overall, I would say that everyone should at least read some of the story, and see if they like it. It has slow parts that can put some people off, it has fast action parts that can put other people off, but it has a heart that I feel anyone can enjoy.
So go read a chapter or ten, enjoy the wacky world of Razz's making, and confidently smile and say "Bakaw!" - ElsanorRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A great novel with slice of life as its main ingredient followed by hints of dark elements and an overall enjoyable journey. All characters are unique to their personality, and although sometimes a bit childish, everything makes the atmosphere more relaxed and lively. Although the story does get a bit repetitive, the author introduces a new plots, not overwhelming enough to lose track of the original goal, but to spice things up.
As the saying goes "ignorance is a bliss" and I'm fortunate enough to immerse myself in that illusion in this awesome journey.
Thanks for ride! - LemerlinoiRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's great! The character are super interesting their interaction are fun, there is mystery and drama. Overall it's fill with good thing. And what's best? The story MOVE, it goes places you wouldn't expect, there is actual progression in all the slice of life, and not some meager one every 50 ch, no there's progression often. It's great, it's definitely a must read.!!!!
- MaladyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Cute with dark undertones! But enough cute to tip the scales into cute.
Fresh is the dark light in the dark dark light dark darkness, And spreads her light through the darkness with her darkness light.
For all that it starts light and progresses darker there's islands of light around to shine light against the darkness and those islands make Fresh even lighter than she started even as she's got some dark. - OmnijackRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Story about hope and finding happiness in a fundamentally broken world. Genuinely made me cry. I love a good found family story and this one has very heartfelt and genuine connections between the main four. It's rough to read sometimes because the premise is that bad things happen, oftentimes for no reason, but that roughness is what makes the main characters overcoming the bad times together and coming out stronger and closer for it all the more sweet.
Surprisingly meta in the sense that as a reader you spend a lot of time expecting the worst to happen and getting stressed about it while the main character is fighting against that exact problem by trying to live in the moment and not think too hard about about deeper implications. She isn't dumb, it's a defence mechanism, and it's an outlook to aspire to - just appreciating life for what it is, what you have, choosing to be happy, and spreading that happiness where you can. - TheGrinningVikingRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Terrible. I hate it enough that I needed to write a review. Five stars, every category, I'd give six if I could.
I feel enough sympathy for the main character that this is giving me deep feelings and reminding me of my own dark well of existential dread. I hate it.
Thinking about your friends all the time and yourself mostly when the darkness comes is very relatable. This is very well written. Too relatable. How dare you Razz.
Anyways any book that can make you feel something is worth it. I'm mostly into isekai stuff for the laughs, I need the laughs. Fresh and co need the laughs. There's not enough laughs and I can't turn away.
Part way through book 3, the audiobook is real good. I wish there was some more action or dungeon just to break up some of the tension, but people are getting along well enough I guess maybe? Or everything is going to break apart at any moment. Who can say? I hate you Razz.
Sign up for author's patreon if you like their works, Razz writes good stuff and if more people did that less great writing would get lost(?) to the stubbening. Though it wouldn't be an audiobook without that, so who can say what loss really is?
P.S. Very well written, very good characterization, one of the best. - WhiteBreadRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I love the slower pace of the story, I prefer when stories take their time, for me the payoff feels much better.
The cast play off each other perfectly and I love their little interactions.
The involvement of lore from different eras of the real world is always fun and it's nice learning new things while reading the story.
Oh I also love that stats like wis and int actually matter in this world.
