Description

In her previous life, she was a caster, secretly safeguarding humanity from the shadows with her colleagues.

She believed her duties ended when she died during a cleanup mission.

But fate had other plans. She awakens in a new world, with all her memories intact.

Just as she begins to hope for a peaceful life, a letter arrives – an acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

So much for the quiet, retired life she was dreaming of. Now, she must navigate this new world and figure out how to carve out the simple life she desires.

I'm utilising AI in fixing my grammar and revising my sentences. (And I'm learning from retyping everything they revised, so if you found typo, it must be me.)

Also, I had AI assisting me in crafting some of the dialogues - its hard for me to grab the British slang.

You may find the structure of the story a bit weird, because I started out as Chinese web novelist (though not famous, and not earning any because it's my hobby), so my writing habit have somewhat improved? Anyway, you can experience the culture different in writing in my story, I guess. -smile-

The cover was made using Copilot and the tools a computer has by default, crappy, but that's my best because can't afford to commission an artist for a pretty cover. -wryly smile-

PS: No guarantee on finishing the story (but I have at least 120k words drafted), because the main purpose of me writing it is, that this story had been haunting me for a few months, and it's a relief after I drained it all into a word document. Though I'll try my best to give it a good ending, just, no guarantee on it.

[Here is the PS after I finished the story: Dang, never thought I would ever manage to finish it XD]

PS again: I'll try my best not to have the characters OOC, but no guarantee about that as well.

Edit: Revise on the grammar of this text, thanks to 【Book Addict】 for the suggestion!

Notes: Some of the readers were a little confused by the first 20 chapters because the story jumped back and forth between the current timeline and the flashbacks. You can totally skip the flashbacks if you're not interested in those parts! I've marked them in the chapter titles so you can easily choose the current timelines. And please don't worry, the flashbacks are just that – flashbacks! They won't affect the current timeline at all. You can read the story however you like, whether that's reading all the current timelines first and then the flashbacks, or reading all the flashbacks first before moving on to the current timeline. It's entirely up to you! [OwO]

Loving the chapters so far, I'm a bit late but that just means that I can binge them all in quick succession. The story definitely provides unique takes on the characters, as well many different aspects of the main characters life before and after arriving at hogwarts.
It shows well reasoned characters and decisions and great writing without fillers. While I did come come, possibly a big reason for the lack of spelling errors so far, the grammar has been great with only one or two mistakes, all of which were easily ignored or pointed out.
All in all, a great fiction, 5/5.

I have had fun reading the story so far. I am interested in AKAHIME's Diary. If that is based on any thing can you put that in the description, if not I would be interested in a story of that world as well. From the little we saw it sounded interesting.

Lots of different cultures and ideas Mixed into the Story and i think ITS a nice Bridge to xanxia Stories If Somebody does Not know what IT IS. I really liked the bigger world and that the Protagonist is actually living more in the Mortal world. The portraying of HP Charakters was also well done. There IS Potential for a lot of spin offs but the ending was still satisfactory

The story has a great starting point, and I appreciate the fresh take on the magic system, which sets it apart from the original. The grammar is solid, but the characters and overall style could use more improvements and, at least for me, are the main reasons why I am dropping the story at Chapter 16. My main critique with both is a lack of depth and engagement.
Starting with the style. Much of the narrative reads more like a summary than a fully immersive story. Each chapter feels like a brisk rundown of events, with dialogue sprinkled in, rather than a vivid, lived-in experience. For instance, in Chapter 13, when the protagonist visits Dumbledore’s office, the scene is reduced to its bare bones: "They went there, talked to a gargoyle, and then talked to Dumbledore." What could have been paragraphs' worth of interesting text was reduced to a couple of sentences.
Instead, imagine describing the corridors leading to the office—perhaps the way torchlight flickered against ancient stone, or how, when they came to the entrance to Dumbledore's office, the way the gargoyle loomed with a mischievous glint in its eyes. What did the protagonist feel upon seeing it (Considering it should have been her first time seeing one)? Was there a playful exchange, or did she find it disgusting? Even Dumbledore’s office could have had so much more detail. This is the workspace of the greatest wizard alive! Surely there are oddities to add: enchanted trinkets shining on shelves, a phoenix flying in the corner, or even the headmaster himself in the middle of some peculiar task when they arrive. Instead, we don't even get a single word about the office, skipping the whole room entirely and making the scene feel like it is taking place in an empty space. These details would breathe life into the world, making it feel tangible rather than a flat, cardboard backdrop that exists solely for the protagonist.
The characters suffer from a similar lack of depth. Their dialogue often feels functiona

The MC Is Great Being OP, Her Background And Growth Capability Of Handling Responsibilities & Caring For All To Whom She Encounters Are Endearingly Worthy Of Ladyship Moniker But From Start To Finish There Weren't Any Romance. I'd Give For Her To Be With An OP Character But Severus Snape (My View As OP Worthy Mate) Ended Up Having A Child Out Of Wedlock Before Any Chance At Romance.

Overall I think this story is interesting with a unique premise. The writing feels smooth with only a few grammatical errors here and there. The only complaint I have is that the constant flip flop between past and present just doesn’t work at all. If I were writing this story I’d try to space out the time shifts more because right now there’s two story lines happening at once. I think a better way to go about it would be to focus on the Hoggwarts part, use the unique to the setting magic to build intrigue, and use past chapters very infrequently to explain her magic without losing the mystery, like spoon feeding the reader little bites of history. Other than that, very solid story, above average even for a Harry Potter fan-fic.

I like this story. I think it dragged on a bit towards the end, but other than that I really enjoyed it. The addition of multiple new characters kinda made me dislike the story some. To me. The story became more about Alexis than Scarlet as it initially was. I also think that there was little shown about how Scarlet's growth was as a Priestess.

Overview:
The story follows a 'modern' day shaman/priestess who gets reincarnated into a fanfiction of harry potter. Despite some inconsistencies in the MC and the story benefitting from a change in direction or even a rewrite, I'm still interested in seeing where it goes and what comes out of it.
MC:
A confused mess. Wants to remain lowkey but does nothing to remain such. Claims to have knowledge of the franchise (watched the first movies and was around for much of the advertisement etc, even knowing about Snape's death, but lacks what I would consider basic movie knowledge). She's smart and composed and I want to see her more in different situations.
Background characters:
There isn't really much to say about them. The potter extened cast currently seem pretty bland. Even the twins known for highjinks are pretty meh.
However the few we've been introduced to from the muggle world seem to have a bit more depth.
Story:
The story thus far has been in two, a current and a past. While it may be a bit early to judge, the story of her past (set in the muggle harry potter world) just feels so much more interesting then what the current story is. We have a genius child who is a reincarnated priestess, trying to live a normal life as a novelist and the princess of a mafia vs a smart girl with composure in the harry potter universe.
World building:
As its a fanfiction, some of the heavily lifting has been done. Nonetheless, the 'orginal' content of the author has so much promise and mystery to it. I want to learn more about her orginal casting system, how it has changed since coming to this universe and if there is some incorporation between potter casting and hers.

All knowing red haired orphaned OP Onmuji Mafia killer lolita MC who can do everything immediately without struggle Mary Sue Protagonist.
MC is already a legend level power with OP japanese spirit contracts from her last life who dies a hero's death, able to enchant anything easily and do all sorts of magic from her previous life that does not fit into the Harry Potter universe. Then she gets adopted by making a deal with a chinese mafia killer by saving his life with an enchanted pendant she gave him. First thing she does on the hogwarts train is impress everyone with her physical strength, lifting her giant trunk around with ease as a tiny girl.
She immediately meets harry potter at the train station, even though she doesn't know the story and doesn't even notice the hundreds of other students. First thing she does is not talking to harry, no, she uses her powers to see the foreign soul in harry's scar. Because of course she does.
Dropped.
