Description

Short Summary:

Remus, a wandering mercenary in the Kingdom of Yewtq, was left speechless by the news coming from the border towns.

For centuries, demons—the dreaded scourge of all humanity and other races—had finally begun attacking Lewes continent, specifically the closest lands of Yewtq territory, from their islands known as Demon’s Cape, and they were destroying villages and towns in their path.

The news had not yet reached the capital or the king of Yewtq, and Remus, taking a scroll meant to deliver this message at all costs, regardless of whether it cost him his life, set off. The scroll had been entrusted to him by a messenger who, before dying from blood loss, passed on the duty. Thus, Remus borrowed an old horse from a village and set off straight for the capital.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly as he hoped. Not only did the torrential rain make it incredibly difficult to find his way, but due to a lightning strike—though it didn’t strike him directly—he lost his life.

Ah, unlucky Remus. He was a good young man.

No one would cry for him.

That man, in short, was reborn as the daughter of the Demon King, Aidz Hū Baūl after decades.

I really really like this story, and I'm very glad I get to write the very FIRST review for it!
It is one of the best in it's genre, IMO. You could definitely make it as a professional writer.
The characters are all wonderful, except for the Demon King, of course.
As for the rating issue you have mentioned in chapter comments in which you felt your ratings had dropped; I wouldn't worry about it too much since its most likely just because the readers are feeling hurt and frustrated by the early chapters. When I read the first 2 chapters I rated this story a 2. I was very unhappy about the early scene where the father (no spoilers) did what he did. It made me angry.
Readers often internalize events that happen to the MCs. It's like we are experiencing them ourselves (because by reading it, we are). I also was super unhappy about Reagan being sent away. Because at the time it seemed like a step in the wrong direction, plot wise, and the Queen didn't leave a good impression on me, early on.
But I kind of was won over by the next few chapters, and I changed my rating to a 3 after some consideration.
Then with the latest chapters I finally gave in, and rated it a 5. I felt I had been hasty with my initial low scores.
The story isn't completely perfect. No story ever is. But you really managed to flip me around by the time I got to the most recent chapters. I love this story.
Im not sure which direction it's headed, but the journey has been worth it, to me.
Great job. You worked so hard on this and it shows. ❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷
