Alissa is having a bad day… week… month… year? You get the point this is one of the legendary bad “days” the one you tell your friends about over drinks and laugh about. Unfortunately, not so fun when happening, why is she in a cave what they hell are these things and why are they attacking her, and for the love of all the gods why can’t she leave? These are not things the heir apparent of a GALAXY spanning empire should have to deal with. However, here she is, and someone is going to regret messing with her because this situation is intolerable and her family weren’t the rulers for nothing, and she will use everything she can to find out the answers to these questions.

I have to preface this review by reminding everyone that it was written at chapter 8, which is still too short to judge how the whole book will go.
I love it for now, it's a mix of sci-fi, fantasy and isekai, but the good kind of mix. It all comes nicely together and fit well, with what I think is great care about the backstory and the lore of the world.
While we don't know exactly how or why the MC is lost in the first place I think it's a slow-burn and we'll get some clues regularly.
Story score :
The story is really good as of chapter 8, there is a slow but steady development with both a mix of action and explanation. While the lack of other characters is liliting a bit the dialogues possibility, it's not a limiting factor for now.
Character score :
As I said above, there are only 2 main characters, and we had one view of a possible side charater but I don't think he'll really stay in the story. The main character, Alissa, has a well defined background and is easy to empathize with. The only issue is that the character reactions don't perfectly match her backstory in my opinion, she seems a little too emotional given her backstory (No spoilers hehe.
Style score :
The story is mainly leaning on narrator explanations to advance since it's difficult in a closed doors story (huis-clos story) to rely on group actions or dialogue to convey action. The style is overall clean and easy to read, with the drawback of infodumps interspaced in action or development scene which I find a bit difficult to read. A point for the author to work on but nothing bad really. The diverse explanations about energies are a bit confusing sometimes too.
Grammar score :
The first few chapters are quite distracting to read because of some glaring errors, but after chapter 3 the few errors that are still there aren't distracting and can be ignored easily. By chapter 8 there are almost no errors, this shouldn't be something stopping you from reading this story.
Overall it's a great story to rea
