  ★★★★★ 5.0

  Adorable and cozy little book that has excellent queer representation. I love any book that focuses more on the craft than the combat and this is for sure that. It makes me want to curl up in my girlfriends lap and read for hours. I squeal every time the cute little baby gays hold hands.

  I like these storie very mutch
  I think it's my first story of these kind. I read about migician and warriors but I think I never had a story that had a crafter say a focal point.
  I like how mutch passion and dedication the MC sets into his craft. (I think it wold be very interesting to integrate even more metalurie knowledge and knot it together somhow wit magic)

  ★★★★ 4.0

  The prose of this fiction has vibes similar to the anime/manga/LN of Ascendance of a Bookworm.
  By this, I mean that friendly people are respectful and caring towards the MC. The MC is provided the nurturing and safety to train and grow while dealing with some existential crises along the way.
  The chapters are condensed and can be read at a comfortable pace.
  There are a large amount of Yuri undertones in regards to other secondary characters, that is in line with the story synopsis (just in case you went to reviews before reading the description ;) )
  Some of the dialogue can feel excessive with multiple sayings of "Thank you for looking out for me' and 'i don't want to be without you' packed into a couple of the later chapters, but it's not enough to be a demerit in my opinion.
  I appreciate that there aren't any info dumps at the start of chapters or the start of the story and that we get to learn it as the protagonist does. That is always something I appreciate reading and writing.
  It may seem a little bit slower to those expecting a fantasy battle fiction, but if my guess is write, and from what we know so far, the vibe of the story will be one of a more relaxed theme.
  As I write this, I am up to date with the fiction and if the author does intend on adding more conflict into the story whether that is physical, mental, or spiritual, we will have to wait and see.
  I'm giving this a 4 out of 5 stars currently, but am looking forward to reading more.
  If I like what is to come and it keeps a similar vibe throughout, I can see myself updating this review and increasing the rating.
  This has earned a Follow from me and a Favourite.
  Thanks Rosie!
  Looking forward to the chapters to come.

  ★★★ 3.0

  For a first fiction, it's better than what I could do.
  That doesn't mean that there aren't problems.
  1. Everything is told to us, by others, by the mc , or the author.
  2.  Everyone sounds weird and the dialogue is stuff
  3. The mc pops out the badussy better than everyone else, is able to craft godlike weapons In 6 months of training, teaches and walks all over the adults in her life, teaches her mom how to parent, and is immortal from birth.
  4. Finds her soulmate at 10 & 1/2; it's just a bit weird
  5.  Does something godlike every chapter and it gets boring.
  Tldr: good for a first try, fLead power fantasy

  ★★★ 3.0

  Edit: Dropped as of chapter 28. 1) The grossly underage random instant-soulmates constantly fawning about how pretty they each are and how much they love each other is not what I’m interested in. 2) The cozy feeling became a sickly sweet one. 3) The neat hook of the MC being god-chosen forger turned out to be a generic OP MC who gets everything handed to her, including a just-as-OP girlfriend.
  Only three chapters exists. As such, this is very much a preliminary review.
  The hook is very cosy so far. A fuzzy child is fascinated and calmed by visiting a forge. This turns into a bit of an obsession, and years later, once she unlocks her system, she sees the skills and stats to match. A bit generic/typical for a Royal Road YA novel, but it works.
  Personally, I was quite glad that much of the childhood was skipped over. I do not recall a single fic that really pulled off the extended childhood focus and was better for it. The (Hidden) (Sealed) title is a bit too generic for my taste, but there’s a reason this sort of thing has become a staple. It works.
  The writing is competent. Descriptive and evocative without being tedious or overly flowery. Moderately diverse instead of repetitive. Show instead of tell. No bothersome SPAG issues. All the things you’d want.
  Unsure how much of this great first impression is because of the new author taking extra care before publishing their work for the first time. I hope, RosieBramble will manage to keep the quality high. In any case, I’m looking forward to what comes next.

  ★★ 2.0

  chooses her sexual identity. while going shopping with his friend. Perfect. Look, I'm not homophobic. but it is one of the limited number of novels where the age of a person who decides to be gay is 10 years old. I've seen xullian novels before where a newborn baby girl is chosen as spouses because she is "beautiful". but i was very surprised that this is on royal road. mc is literally the dictionary definition of "marry susie".
