Description

Upon his defeat, the Demon Lord placed a cursed on the entire land that infested it with thousands of clones, "fakes" as they call them, of each of the Nine Heroes who defeated him. Our main protagonist is not one of those nine heroes, rather, she is one of those fakes who, after realising that chasing after the original was foolish, decides to change and become her own self.

Honestly one of the best stories I've read on this site, with characters I've actually come to care for in a short time. The tragedy of the world will break your heart, they didn't deserve this. Needless to say, but I'm super invested and I want to know what happens next.

I'm not good at writing reviews but imma go try (this is only my 3rd and one of them was All the Dust That falls)!
so I may be a bit of a 2D person but there aren't any flaws that jump out at me. I did see some grammar mistakes but they were infrequent and didn't hinder my reading experience at all.
I love the premise and unlike many books, the execution doesn't fall flat. The characters feel real to me as well.
ah what the heck am I doing this is a good book you should read it give it a follow and favorite. Doesn't update that frequently because the author is a casual (#authorsupport) but it'll make you smile when you see that there's a chapter available. Do both me, the author, and mostly yourself a favor and give this a read. Just do it. Click that freaking read now button now, ok? Ok!

I had a nice and detailed review all written out before the page crashed and I sadly lost it all. I'm now too tired to rewrite it all so in summary:
This is one of those rare cases where a unique and interesting idea is paired with an engaging story with likeable characters. While there are a consistent amount of typos, they aren't excessive or intrusive. And there are barely any in the later chapters. The story and writing flows well enough that the typos are hardly noticeable (even for someone that usually struggles with typos).
On another note, the world feels very fleshed out without excessive exposition. I didn't expect to get as sucked into this story as much as I did, so it was a pleasant surprise. I would definitely recommend giving this story a chance to anyone that finds the description interesting. This story absolutely delivers.

I really enjoyed the setting of this story. A world where the bottom of society all have one of 7 faces makes it so that some really obvious existential questions arise. In the first chapters it also becomes really clear why the general population treat the clones the way they do. The clones just behave terribly.
From that point character development and exploration adds nuance and a really interesting world to explore.

Some spelling issues, but nothing major ('bare' instead of 'bear' for example) but a good read so far.
Not mentioned but litrpg extra lite, but it's a neat little system so I like it.
Spoiler: Don't read, just review padding.
Now as an aside, reviews needing to be 50 words long is really dumb I can't be like 'Like your story! Keep up the good work dude!' instead I am forced to do things like needlessly pad the thing with stuff like this or just be a faceless amount of stars which may or may not leave the author feeling like they're chucking words into the void despite decent ratings.

This story has a real neat premise. The eponymous demon lord on his death summons thousands of weak, tattoo numbered copies of the nine heroes who defeated him. Why? Who cares, I've got ten thousand idiot hooligans clogging up the streets of my city and I'm not quite sure if they're human.
I really appreciate that it takes a standard setting and then goes off on a really quirky but mundane direction. The protagonist is one of these fake copies who decides to be a bit more individual and not just a copy. Giving up the weakened powers of the original, she resets her skill tree and becomes a knight summoner. There's a fair bit of a psychological angle as she struggles with her identity and loss of even her small amount of power. She also has some bad self esteem problems and can be fairly low agency for a Protagonist.
I also appreciate that the exposition is kept fairly low. It's a fairly common setting, so that is all assumed and not explained, with only the deviations being explained. So glad to see someone do that.
I should note that the world is very game like. Also, the protagonist comes across as a Japanese shojo protagonist. So, two style featured to mention.
