Description

Resumes:May 17th (~298 pages)When Eric Swallow received his first quest from the System, he certainly didn’t expect to end up in the netherworld. And he definitely didn’t plan to become a witch called Sylvia. Now, stuck as a girl, ‘she’ must adapt as a student of the Starlight Nether Witch Academy. But she won’t remain there for long, because the System’s creator has a scheme. A scheme that will inevitably break the post war peace that followed Ragnarok. And, as a bearer of the System, Sylvia will have no choice but to dive into Hell’s darkest corners and its highest society all while aiming to create a safe place for herself and the ‘gamers’ who follow.What to expect:- Adventures across multiple planes- Politics, economics, and kingdom building- Weak to stronganduneducatedto astute- A soul cultivation systemand acomplexsystem of magic-Werewolves, vampires, goblins, dragons, angels, demons, and more...- A background, slow burn romance with a beautiful witch- A serious take on a gender bent MC-99% MC focus Released- Arc I – Academy (13 chapters, 325 pages)- Arc II - Orasul Lunii (8 chapters, 204 pages)- Arc III - Tartarus (7 chapters, 178 pages)- Arc IV - Migration (11 chapters, 277 pages)- Arc V - Gamers (10 chapters, 301 pages)- Arc VI - Trade (11 chapters, 350 pages)Next: Arc VI - Rise (10 chapters, ~298 pages)Prewritten:87 chapters covering 8 fully complete arcs MyPatreon- All chapters will be made public eventually.Discordfor those who want to chat.

I cant name a single complaint I have about this story, by chapter one I'm immersed in the world and it wont let go.
The world is fascinating, and we're only in the first arc. It's only going to bet bigger and more immersive from here, and that's not even mentioning the character and plot elements that are keeping me engaged, which are flawless.
What we have already has set the stage for a fascinating magic system, gripping character drama, and some cut throat politics. We've only just begun but things are going to get epic.

A truly engaging story. I can't wait for more.
The way the story flows and the general pacing are great. I didn't find any particular problems with the grammar, so all good there. Really like the main character. They feel like an actual character and have normal reactions to things. A rarity for webnovels.

I have enjoyed this story so far. It has solid writing and an interesting premise! As a thirty year old guy, I am a little concerned about forcing a middle aged man to become a cute magical girl, but mostly I find it amusing. I like the magic system and that the MC has an OP ability that helps to drive the plot and doesn't scale out of control too quickly. I hope the author continues this to the end! I look forward to being along for the ride!

I binge read the whole 60 chapters over 1 long weekend.
I enjoyed the novel take on the magic system and the lore bits. The forum posts were a good addition.
I especially liked the moderate time skips to only show relevant things and the awesome city building. Big fan of the genderbent yuri romance as well.
The arc wise release is a blessing and gives the whole novel so much structure and you can tell the author knows where he wants to go.

A cute little twist on the standard isekai formula. It's nice to see a System that's not simply an excuse for power, but an actual major plot point itself.
The characters aren't the most complex, but they're believable and fun to read. The setting is small so far, but with a lot of potential.

An interesting setting, with a good plot. As the author said, the first arc was a bit long, but I enjoyed it all the same.Watch the MC getting corrupted into cuteness.The world building is interesting (pretty unique I would say?), the main cast is nice, and well integrated into the plot.

Slow start, but of necessity, filling in later story needs for both the reader and the main character.
I’m too quickly at chapter 19, and with lots of action, adventure, and mystery, I’m looking forward to the next chapter to come.
It’s worth a read. (Recommended by an author on Reddit/HFY, and I find this IS worth the read)

I had a blast reading all 60 chapters in the past days.
The flow of the story and the system is great with some nice plot twists.
The only thing I think could have done a little bit better is the MC beeing in confliced with his new gender.
And while the explanations at the and of the chapters are nice, I would have prefered it if they would have been implemented into the story itselfe in a readable manner.

I came with rather low expectations, gender bender isn't really my thing and magic academy is quite an overdone trope.
Oh boy was I wrong. This is a really well thought out story with amazing world-building, likeable characters, and even the gender change is handled really well, with the MC not just immediately accepting the change and instead struggling to maintain their identity.
I binged everything in one sitting and now I'm desperate for more.
