(Fico feliz por um BR estar escrevendo uma história tão promissora e gostosa de ler. E como sempre, neste site, me nego a fazer avaliações em inglês ksksksksk)

The other reviews summ it up pretty good. I was hesitant for a while since there were so little chapters but the length of them makes up for it. Tho it didnt hinder me in the slightest to burn through the current available ones.
If you enjoy a bit of mystery, magic and good storytelling this is for you.

In the initial chapters so far, there is truly no complaint from me, the only grumble i have is sometimes an action performed mid comversation feels unnecessary.
However, that is stretching it.
Onto the postives!
- The POV shifts are clearly defined and not chapters to themselves (which i appreciate)
- The paragraphs and the conversation within are properly spaced (i love it)
- The speech for that matter feels natural and not tilted/forced accompanied by occasional actions by the characters
- The story straddles the line between overly descriptive and not descriptive at all (which can be hard to do, so i congratulate the author on that)
It should be mentioned though this is an action-adventure focused story, slice of life moments shine through; also! The chapters are chunky! A solid swipe or three on mobile.
Overall! I have no reason to put this any less than 5 stars, soo.. Give it a read of the above interests you; its definitely worth it, at least so far.

It's only been 3 chapters but the story is consistent and interesting the MC I'm assuming has an incredibly rare element affinity most likely time element based on the fact she can see the future. I'm looking forward to more especially since mage is always my go to when I play an RPG.

It is still too early but the story of a girl moving to a magical academy has done many times before just not in this way.
The stakes are set, the battle lines drawn and we see where the future is heading.
Mio is instantly engaging and we feel with her as protagonist.

This story shows considerable promise. I like the details in the magic system, which we start to see in chapter 3. There are hints of magic realism, and mystery as to what the main character will ultimately be capable of since her magic is so different from everyone else. The nature of her magic also makes the action scenes play out like something from The Matrix, which promises to be a lot of fun in the rest of the story.
Overall, it's exciting and I strongly recommend anyone reading this at least read as far as entrance exam for the Magic Academy before deciding if you want to continue the story.

I am really impressed with chapter one. We are introduced to multiple characters, who all are written with care to cultivate specific personalities into their actions. It didn't feel forces or strained just to make scenes happen. You just organically fell through a story. It was a pleasant, at times heart-warming, first look at an interesting new fantasy universe that I am truly looking forward to digging further into.I am also excited to see what other personalities we will meet at school later in the series. You just know that is gonna be a fun ensemble.

This story is amazing so far its clear the author has a solid plan and is able to capitalize on it. Everything said seem to progress the story. the characters are lovable and realistic. Relationships seem solid between characters and isnt forced or stale. Very solid story so far.
The only thing that I am some what worried about is the length of each chapter. Long chapters are great however it can cause some people to lose attention or cause writer fatigue. I'd recommend shorting up the chapters in favor of 1 or 2 chapters a week to keep readers engaged. I am excited to see where the story will take us keep up the good work.

This book has a number of things going for it. A creative power for the MC, likable characters, and generally good writing. I plan to keep reading as chapters release, and look forward to watching the author grow.
I have two glaring issues with the work so far. First off, the pacing is a bit all over the place. We get time skips between every notable moment, so the reader never experiences down time for the characters. We never see their reactions to places, food, or fresh experiences because we’re already talking about the conflict in the new place or experience. It feels like the author has a grand vision of the world, but as it is already in their head, they don’t see that they’re not adequately sharing it.
The second issue has to deal with the prose. The author describes things rather than tells us what they are. They’ll describe a phenomenon, but it feels too vague for the reader to pin down what the phenomenon is. It makes it hard to follow what is happening at any given moment.
Style: good writing, but vague
Story: no issues, but nothing exemplary
Grammar: no obvious flaws
Characters: decently written, and the extra POVs help, but motivations feel told rather than shown, and the MC keeps a secret closely, but doesn’t ever explain why which was a bit frustrating.

Solid story so far, well written and well paced.Gotta love the unusual FMC and the cryptic lore's building around her.Personal appreciation towards the swap of pov during the fight.Kinda difficult to give a complete review on a story that has barely begun, but it's definitely promising.Nice novel u should give it a chance !
