Description
Waking up in a strange place can be rough. Waking up in a strange body is even rougher. Finding out you're a basic bottom of the barrel monkey in a world full of monsters, adventurers and other things that would very much like to eat you, is just about as bad as it gets. In fact, I struggle to think of much that would be worse. On the bright side, at least you have an option to get stronger and prevent yourself from being eaten. Join this poor little monkey on her quest to possibly not die in a world that seems to very much want to make her new life much shorter.

Just read the book and I promise it will be worthwhile. - SoloSlimeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Been enjoying the Story so far the pacing is good and the characters feets feel realistic and mesured in the world avoiding the common Overpowered trope of many a litRPG.
The character often makes deccions i could reason with and relate too, and the story makes use of the enviroment to provide a refreshing break up from the standard story flow offering a refreshing exploration of other themes increasing your appitite for the core content before inviting you back.
Honestly Love this series so far and can't wait to see more of it, the care taken is evedent and I hope to see more people join me in appreciating the great series. - SayurkoRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5This is a pretty solid story for a quick read, there aren't many if any grammatical errors and it is entertaining watching the mc figuring out how to monke. The world in this story has many misteries and quircks that our mc wants find the answers for.
The only thing thats not so great about this story is the size of the paraghraphs instead of paraghraphs in the 3-4 range that are easy to read we have them in the 6-8 range. It is readible but it could be better maybe the autor will see this review and will fix the problem.
