Description

[I was reborn after being murdered because of the true wish that I made for revenge against all human-peoples, but now I’m alive again and I actually just kind of don’t want to do that anymore; so I opened a shoe-store instead!]

Mirabelle was murdered by humans and elves… And with her last breath, she made a true wish for revenge. Ancient powers answered. She was reborn centuries later with dangerous magic.

But the people who killed her are long gone. So is her forest. And Mirabelle, once a furious fairy with nothing left to lose, now just wants one thing: a peaceful life.

Hiding in the bustling human capital where fairies are little more than myths, she struggles to survive in a world that moved on without her. Until she discovers an unexpected talent and an unexpected hope when she becomes a secret apprentice to a shoemaker.

As she crafts boots in the shadows, the old contract of her rebirth waits, patient and merciless. The power meant for vengeance still coils inside her. The dark stars still expect payment.

Now Mirabelle must decide: will she give in to the rage she was reborn to carry, or carve out a gentler fate for herself in a world that never wanted her?

A slow-paced, emotional LitRPG about healing, crafting, and choosing who you want to become. For readers who enjoy quiet character journeys and cosy progression.

Very interesting premise here, a fairy too consumed by revenge to pass on to the next life returns to the world to find her only goal impossible. I estimate there will be high levels of character development and slice of life, with a malevolent tinge lurking between the lines.
For what it's worth, I think Razz does really well at creating these kinds of stories, so I'm very excited to read more!

This is the start of a Story about a Fairy.
I'd give a synopsis but the description does a pretty good job of that - make sure to read the warnings and see if they fit your fancy.
Early days but the author's style is a aesthetic and I like the shape of what's to come.
Sad turned happy hopeful thoughts and actions undermined by a slightly grim and dark background. A heavy dose of trauma just for fun and some stylistic prose as a treat.
I'm looking forward to this story.

It's another crafting LitRPG! It sounds like a power fantasy but don't be confused guy, we're making shoes! Like Dungeon Item Shop but with more shoes. Can't really saying anything considering I've only looked at the first chapter so far but it's likely about what i expect from Razz, well written LitRPG with some unresolved past trauma lurking in the background. And hey, it's a fairy this time!
(Hey, psst, got any slime?)

I really enjoyed this story when it first released. The characters are all so wonderfully human in how they interact with each other and it makes watching their growth that much more enjoyable. It works really well with the slow pacing to make a world thats just so fun to watch.
Then I saw it stopped updating and assumed it would just be another dead story on RR- but the author went and finished it! There are a few hanging plot threads, but overall it finished out very well.

The world building is good so far for being 1000 years in the future and is perfect for right now.
the Mc is wonderful, mostly cause you can relate to her if you have gone through tough times before 10/10
the side characters the have been introduced so far are nice
the plot of this novel is good, depressing but good.

Let's start this review with a fact: this is a Sad Story. People were warned about this in the description, I'll say it here as well.
Mirabelle's Boots is a tale about a fairy consumed and changed by her hatred and desire for revenge... only to realise just how wrong it is. Talk about making mistakes in the heat of the moment, heh?
As I said previously, this is not a happy story. The beginning alone is enough to understand it. And that is exactly why this is so good. Fairies are not meant, traditionally, to be what our protagonist has become. That already is a plus. To that, add the fact that there's always this little layer of melancholy, and you get something worthy of reading. We're only missing a pinch on nostalgia, and this story would be an absolute drug.
The writing is perfect (no, seriously, I've yet to find a single typo), making the reading oh so fluid, you don't even notice you're going down the page.
The only thing I'd really want to see that would make this even more interesting, is how our little Mirabelle gets corrupted by her new Class. I would love to see her use those abilities a bit more and see just what the next Skills do. That's the only critique I feel like giving.
So, all in all, great story! Read it guys!
