Description

Betty thought her life's last chapter would be taking care of her son and grandchildren. Inexplicably, fate had something else in mind for her. She is transferred to a world with a system. While this gives her a brand new lease on life, it does so by making her one of the lowest of the low: a goblin.

This was a great novella! Would love to see more, if the author ever revisits.
The FMC as an older woman reincarnated into a magic world is a refreshing take from all the angst teens and rage filled twenty somethings.
The system seems straight forward, which isn't a bad thing. There's just enough system dealings to keep you in the loop without being overwhelming or making things more complicated than they need to be.

I really enjoyed this story. It is a very interesting world and I would love to know more about what happened after the plot ends, it really left me wanting more!
I won't spoil anything, but my favourite characters were Nami and Wiki and I hope their friendship lasts forever! All the characters were beautifully written and seemed to have a great potential for more stories in the future.
The concept was interesting, I know it is a fairly generic seeming idea, but I would love to know more about how this kind of afterlife would work. Is there an after-afterlife for those who die in the fantasy world? Is that one sci fi maybe? Maybe that's a fanfiction alternate ending that needs to happen! :)
All the usual spelling, grammar and structure things were ticked off. That's always a bit tricky to review, because if it works it fades into the background, but everything here was what it needed to be. I could see that a few spelling mistakes and things had been picked up by previous commenters, which shows that the author is willing to take advice. Always nice to see that!
Basically my only complaint is that the story finished. Give me more!

A well written and captivating story. This was a great story of an older lady turned goblin. I felt it really captured the essence of a kind old granny that needed to care for herself and others. The only thing I wish was that this story was longer as I would love to see what happens to her next.

Super fun and charming, original take on the genera. I like the achievable goal and depth of the characters. Dialogue rolls out beautifully. The system is a good level of complexity and doesn’t take over the story. I enjoy both a hard working mc and one that bumbles into a system cascade. Thanks!

Granny gets a lot done in the eight plus one chapters of this story, though it never feels like we missed anything unreasonably.
With a bit of luck, a bit of wisdom, and kindness only where kindness is due she can save the day!
Fully complete stories seem to be a luxury on this platform (though there's room for a sequel or two) and this short one comes well recommended from me!
