Description

Magical Giants, a massive offline game that gained popularity when it was launched 5 years ago. The reason of the game's popularity was due to its massive choice in character customization. The game had boomed in the last 4 years, and it was the biggest PC game at the time.

The world of Deepland, where Giants, Monsters and Magical Girl freely roamed the world, it was truly an interesting concept for a game.

One of the game player was a poor youngster who had always dreamed of seeing his favorite game with his own eyes. The game had supported VR Device, but as he had no money to buy it, he made it himself in order to realize his dream.

When he tried his DIY VR Helmet, he can't take it off for some reason and he hit his PC, causing it to be short-circuited because of his crappy VR Helmet. He was unconscious because of being electrocuted. But, when he opened his eyes, he was in a ruin with a familiar girl in her side. Not only that, he was in his game character!

Follow the unfortunate youngster, now Magical Girl in his/her adventure in Deepland.

    Review originally written on Scribblehub after reading 22 chapters. RoyalRoad only has 8 chapters at the time of writing though.
    I'm not typically a fan of magical girl related media but Magical Giants is one of the exceptions. It's hard to label it as a Magical girl story despite being the main theme because it's quite different from the norm in that it's more like a Isekai fantasy novel that happens to have magical girls.
    It starts out like most Isekai stories. Nagami, the MC unexpectedly ends up in an Yuri eroge game when he died trying to use a self-made VR set to play it. He wakes up as the character he made, Zmeya; a short beautiful girl with a haughty yet playful personality. There's no bullshit about trying to find a way back, complaining about becoming a girl, or existential contemplation about themselves or the world. No, MC just completely rolls with it and accepts he had become Zmeya and goes on to enjoy life without any worries.
    While Zmeya's quite OP in that world, with her character having reached the endgame alongside an inventory stacked with money and endgame items, she doesn't get too involved in the game's plot. Only enough to make sure things stay interesting and the game heroine goes the route she thinks would be most fun for her.
    The Yuri scenes are written well and interesting to read in my opinion. There's enough to see that MC isn't against intimacy with others but it's not rushed or saturated throughout the story that she's a sex hungry fiend. Zmeya finds fun in teasing cute girls but as Nagami is sometimes embarrassed by how she acts.
    If there's anything to complain about it's that the game heroine girl is somewhat disappointing as of now. Whenever the story POV switches to her it tends to be short and concise. She ends up not seeming like an actual person but just a rigid game character. Considering she's to be one of the main focuses of Zmeya, I'd like to see if they were as detailed like Zmeya's POV so it would so she'd have her own in

    It was interesting story.
    More like Overlord light novel, but it was a world filled with Magical Girl and Giants. There was a beast too that was said to be the enemy of the world and maybe? I thought the beast was one of Giant's food source. That is if they did eat something XD
    The prologue was a bit rocky, and a bit forced, but the story after that is interesting. There is a change of POV in chapter 3, but I think the first POV that was used is better than 3rd POV for this novel.
    Good work! I am waiting for more content
