Description

Ash had spent the last six years on the streets of the Jewel Empire's capital, Jade. In that time, she learned that she could only trust herself and that relying on humans was something she simply could not afford to do.

That changes though when she is chosen by the goddess Magia to become a Savior. Now, along with Keiko, a girl who has mastered everything except what her family wished she would, and Kaori, another Savior who is Ash's polar opposite, Ash has to figure out how to make this new life work.

But, with escalating demon attacks, her own confusing nature, and an entire religion that cannot stand her existence, she may not be able to do so.

While Grammer is good. The inconsistency of the uploaded novels isn't good, I recommend make a schedule of upload video and make sure you can handled it. Keep plenty of backlogged novels so you can make minor changes.I also like how do didn't make into smut or OP almost immediately, you could feel the struggle
Also when is your next novel.

TLDR: It's a little rough but very fun and enjoyable. It has both extremely serious moments mixed with some absolutely bizzare moments as well. Would definitely recommend checking out if you need a fuzzy feeling or just some tragedy and anger in your life.
Long(er) Review: Overall I would say that this story starts out pretty strong with some predictable tropes that do kind of feel cliched. However, that doesn't mean it's bad and instead acts as more of a support to allow the rest of the novel to really dig into it and unleash it's full potential.
The disctinctly strange genres here make me intrigued to see how to plot ends up turning out as the various contrasts are generally found in one side or the other and not usually key elements of both. So far the author has demonstrated a competent if teeny bit of awkwardness in weaving the more cheerful and darker elements together. Furthermore, since the story is only just getting started, I feel that I don't have too much I can say without entering spoiler territory, but I'm pretty confident that the rest of it will be good just based on what we have so far.
Quick Aside:
As the previous reviewer said, there is an assault scene but it is kept pretty short during the prologue.

I'll state that the story is still fairly early and the prologue is currently the main dark part of it. But I really enjoy the main character and her views on people. The system is slowly being explained to her and the readers in an interesting way that's not just an info dump; side characters are interesting and have depth. And I'm a sucker for the potential GL tag.
I can only remark on up to ch 9 but I for one can't wait for more. There are still a lot of mysteries I look forward to being unveiled.
And for those looking for trigger warnings
I will also state that the prologue has a sexual assault scene. While i am not sure how often such scenes will be used in the future I do think you can skip the prologue and not miss much. MC is the child of such a scene and so I post this here in case people prefer to skip that but try the story anyway.
That's all I can say. I'm now trying to push for 200 words so I suggest you give it a try yourself. If I say much more I'll give even more spoilers though I will add I really enjoy the lack of a HP stat. Feels more dangerous and interesting to me.

I enjoy reading it.There's enough grimdark and happy moments one after another to take you on an emotional roller coaster. It just feels like a nice book. Also screw the preist.
Sp this is my first review on this site and did not know it needed 50 words it's quite interesting.

The story hasn't really progressed far yet but I feel like I've read enough to form a decent opinion on what I've seen so far.
Firstly, the story is actually pretty decent so far. Its got a good pace and a decent twist here and there plus its doing a good job setting the stakes. Not much to say on it for now but I can safely say that I'm looking forward to how the plot progresses.
The worldbuilding on the other hand is a bit of a mixed bag. It feels pretty inconsisent at times. On a cultural level the world is pretty fine. My problem comes with the technology, or rather I feel like the setting is supposed to be like the usual fantasy story on this site with a good amount of Asian influence. There's carriages and swords and inns, but there's also T-shirts that say "Nova's Best Wife" and a somewhat modern education system. While I don't really mind, it can sometimes break the immersion if only for a moment. My other big gripe with the worldbuilding is the systems surrounding the combat. The magic is your standard magic but the method of acquiring it seems kinda cheap. The actual combat is mainly a normal fight scene however the actual fights sometimes have stat checks. I can't really tell if I like it or not but I thought I'd just mention it. The actual thing I'm mostly confused about is the levelling in this world. A knight who is level 38 easily gets oneshot by demons meanwhile one of the renowned heros in this story was level 50. I dunno if I misread something but the levelling feels unbalanced. Furthermore, you can apparently level boost people by weakening a high level monster and allowing the low level person to get this kill and all the experience. That's pretty broken and makes the world feel very gamelike.
My opinions on the characters are mostly positive. The main character acts like how you would expect her to act and has a backstory that you'd expect of her. While she'd certainly not surprising in any way, I think she's still written well and serves as a d

Story is kinda meh. The world seems rather bland and cookie cutter, and the characters are pretty cliche, and have no interesting quirks.
The rpg system isn't soft at all, unlike what the author says. The only thing missing from a very hard rpg system is an hp bar, but everything else in the system directly correlates to numbers. Stamina seems to be highly restrictive, and while I haven't seen the numbers for magic yet, it's probably similarly dumb.
For example, an average man in reality can pick up a sword they never used before and swing it around quite a bit before getting tired, and can push themselves to swing even more. In this story, an average man can swing a sword 5 times before his stamina completely runs out and falls unconscious. It's rediculously weak. Don't expect a soft rpg system, it's about as hard as you can get.

Honestly this is one of the slowest novels in this genre I have ever read. The entire first volume, which is not even over yet, is basically just one long training montage with bits of unnecessary grimdark sprinkled in.
The writing itself is decent but the story overall is average.

So we've all been there. We want to read good sapphic stories, but we can mostly only find middle tier stuff.
I was the same. I was just going about, enjoying some passable litrpg, waiting for it to become an open wlw story.
But then we got to chapter 19
Holy shit why would you even write this, Author? We all hated Varcon already. He was already a shitty villain who deserved to die. So why the fuck would you write in the most contrived rape ever? In what world did we need the racist mindcontroller to catch a rape charge against what we can only assume will be one of the main characters, or atleast her companion of some kind, before he died?
Was it the shock value, are you trying to make him cartoonishly evil, or do you genuinely think GrimDark = A character must be raped every 20 chapters?
But yeah, it's a low tier, relatively average, litrpg with the main draw being the wlw harem I guess. It's really just plain and meh, so the author tries spice it up with off screen rapes I guess.
