Description
A fallen empire... An unclaimed legacy... A world worth fighting for... The people of Ea have an unusual power, the ability to control things with their mind. Those without this ability are enslaved by the Holy Luxian Empire. They are treated as sub-humans, unworthy of citizenship. However, not everyone agrees with this policy. When the Kingdom of Altamira invades and destroys the empire, Corvus, the third imperial prince, is driven from his home and stripped of his title. Now, he must rise again to retake his empire and correct the mistakes of his ancestors. WARNING: Tagged 18+ for; Strong language, graphic descriptions of injury and the very occasional sexual scene.

- LemerlinoiRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This was a fun read. The premise is engaging and well executed. The main character is enteresting, she's not too strong and she has a believable reaction to her situation. She's fairly even headed and make, in my opinion good decision. Her background in military and civil engineering make her a promising protagonist.
There was some error, sentences that had word that should not be there. But I only saw them on maybe 1 or 2 chapter, and the more the story progress the better it get.
The world seems pretty interesting, lot of potential. The magic was briefly touch upon ans seem promising.
Unfortunately I don't think that we will have more, and so the 12 chapter are worth it but leave you with a feeling of wanting more. - ColdSteelRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Believable character. Some small spelling errors, beg instead of bag for examplet, but nothing that detracts.
Grammer is well constructed and the story flows. The main character is certainly overpowered as an angel, but deals realistically with being placed in another world.
Worth the time to read, if only at chapter 12 as of the review. - luda305Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5It's been a long time since I read, so apologies.
This is one of the better isekai premises out there. A female veteran finds herself summoned to a fantasy world. But not as a human. Rather she's been shoved into the body of, well, a super-powerful archangel. Frankly, those summoners then fucked up and after a hectic escape attempt, she finds herself traveling across country trying to figure out what the fuck happened and if she can get home.
Of course, as an archangel, she's something of an embodiment of their gods, which means she gets all kinds of, well, worship, which is embarassing for her and hilarious for us. Especially since she can't really cope with that.
Nor can she cope with the massive power she has. There's a bit of character development and she warms up to using it for justice, and that's a nice bit to read.
I dont' remember why I have it 4 stars to begin with, so I'm bumping it up to 4.5 just because I have a favorable reaction, but not to 5.0 because I'm sure past me had a good reason to rate it 4.0 stars.
Anyways, I hope the author picks it up again! - JadensynRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I have read many, many stories that start off in a similar way, some good, most bad, this one i am unsure of, it starts rather abruptly, with very little background and a few glaring inconsistencies (marble does not melt, it burns and degrades, pending magic fudgery) BUT, the writing is solid, the world while not original seems interesting in the fantasy medieval style and as of chap 7, is shaping up quite nicely.
could use a grammar/spell sweep but nothing that takes away from the story overmuch, i see it developing into quite the read, i am looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Keep up the good work.
Jade - messschieberRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Overall a very interesting start of the story, mainly because of the somewhat unique setting: the main character is an angel, really tall and some kind of war veteran. However the story starts of with rather sparse exposition and the reader knows very little about the mc for a long time. The personality of the mc also isn't really memorable. She doesn't voice any interesting thoughts or statements and just goes with the flow.
However the general setup with the mcs uncertain standing as an angel in the religous world and the conflict between the two known nations, is quite intriguing.
Now to the main point of critique: the grammar. I only gave it two stars because it got a bit better in recent chapters. Especially in the first couple it is so bad that it gets almost hard to understand what is actually going on. The structure of many sentences is plain wrong, commas are missing, common english expressions are mangeld and distracting spelling mistakes are made. The author should really get someone to proofread the chapters and should think about revising the first couple chapters as this really can be quite the turnoff for a lot of people from an otherwise decent story.
