I love this story! The darker setting is refreshing and I'm always a sucker for hope prevailing in hopeless situations. You can really feel the inspirations from souls-likes in the writing and mechanics of the world which is something I didn't know I needed till now. Definitely worth the read!

Really nice story so far. It's frequently updated, easy to read, not going all over the place. Easy light read, but draws you in. Thank you for this on Azrie, I love te see where this story goes.
The litrpg inner 'feeling' for certain updates is not my thing, but the setting is great.

Sybil isn't nothing special if not for her determination. In a dying world where magic is soon to be forgotten, she alone holds a piece of a cryptic puzzle.
[...] Meet me at the end of the world.
But the world has already ended. Humans are pariahs. Cast into the underground, hunted by monsters too strong to defeat. They scrape and mine the dregs of an old civilization. Trinkets that might be toys to the ancient ones, now priceless treasures.
One girl will fight against demons, both inner and outer.
Azrie is known for making grounded, believable, and real characters. I'm eager to see where this story will go.

I'm only 6 chapters in, but very familiar with this author's work. It is very well written, and while the system has not been too developed at this point, the introduction to this new world has been intriguing. Likewise, the MC seems to be a down on her luck, but promising individual, that I can see cheering for as she explores this world.
Looking forward to reading this new work. Also this author is a prolific poster, so expect a steady stream of content.

Sure this book has flaws but some of the ratings have been awfully low for a book that has taken the age old story of a MC that encounters really strong enemies and finds a way to power up.
Well let's get into the age old spoiler territory if the title did not do so enough.
Spoilers ahead read further at your own peril.
We start out meeting the MC Sybil with a relatively harsh life that is glossed over and yet we understand her position in society is the lowest a slave in all but name working in her "age not recalled ? youth ?" for a very draconian society that forces her to dig for her dinner. Sybil makes a risky choice to go off the beaten path and lucks into getting a superpowers type system , It's all very quickly explained but it could possibly do with a rewrite later.
The adventures however are held in place by careful introductions and the odd different perspective of the "jailors" so that we can build up a repore of what sorts of problems Sybil had to endure. The lines that the dysfunctional supervisors used set them up as part of a larger body set to maintain order and at the same time exploits and oppresses the miners who really get treatment that is normally poor at the best of times.
Things between Sybil and the establishment go from generic to stark raving mad and this point is not really done well and it created a bland background character that is about as logical as people that throw
, But logic is not always needed so much.
We are then taken on a tour of a one woman rampage while she levels up. It blends in a good mix of information and deception to keep a reader interested but the violence is explained pretty well perfectly.
8 out of 10 would recommend that you read it .

From the beginning Sybil is in constant survival mode and faces challenges from starvation to monsters, forgotten mysteries and machinations behind the scenes. As we follow Sybil along we slowly discover more about the world she lives in and the system she uses.
The story is fast paced with occasional respites. There are no big Grammar mistakes that stopped me from enjoying the story. Like mentioned in other Reviews there are some scenes that could use more polishing, but then this is a webstory and not an edited book and for that the overall quality is good.

The world building is magnificent, a well woven intricate post apocolypse civilisation living in an abandoned mine filled with eldritch horrors. I love the story progression, it is well paced and somehow doesn't seem to matter that the protagonist is constantly fighting, the storyline shines through.
I think the description of the main character needs a bit more in the earlier chapters, I was a little unsure she was a girl until a few chapters in, though you could probably just blame my comprehension skills!
The litrpg parts do not overwhelm the story, I think with very little change it could be removed and possibly appeal to a more mainstream readership. That said, it's what most RR readers seem to want...
There were very few grammar errors that I picked up on, I should have commented on them, perhaps if I hadn't been binge reading so fast on my phone.
I am really looking forward to future chapters but I do hope it doesn't become a million+ word behemoth like many litrpg novels. It at least seems like there is a plot planned out and the novel is barrelling towards it quite fast.

Hey! Here's my first subjective review.
I am not usually overthing the book, if the story is interesting I will read it. And so far I rather liked this. But let met try to go into more detail.
Pluses:
1. Grammar: I didn't notice any major mistakes
2. Progressive system: I like that each level have weight, and you need work for it. Yes, by killing, but that's the reality of this world
3. Worldbuilding: The world has history, legends and mysteries. So far, so good
4. Fighting scenes. I can imagine how the fights are going from the descriptions. Good enought for me
Minuses:
1. Character: The main character is a little too thoughtless and rash. She goes into dangerous situations even though she could prepare more, like waiting to regenerate mana or exploring her abilities. For example, she finds out that she could do more than one fire shot during a battle, but she could have known this earlier and made her life easier. But the shotgun is a nice touch.
2. Villains: The overseer guy is too dramatic and impractical. Or is it a Fate thingy? Anyway, I hope for more serious villains.
My hopes:
1. More character development: Yeah, it's a cruel world, but let her experience love, trust, betrayal, food, camaraderie, music, defeat, despair, and different things that exist.
2. No invincibility: The plot armor is too thick. Let her lose an arm or something.
3. Power scaling: I hope there will not be extreme leaps of power. For example, she shouldn't summon a weapon during advancement that lets her shatter the sky and earth. Power has its price.
4. More world: The world is interesting, and I want to learn more about it.
Overall score: I am waiting for the next chapter

I'm confused about one point the MC overcame and survived the armory but why didn't you have her pick up at least one weapon.
You pointed out the pickaxe she's been using for the whole story is broken she's in an armory with a storage ring it's common sense to pick up another weapon.
Other than that the story is really good so far can't wait for more

Very nice story with compelling writing. No obvious grammar problem and a very good mysterious lore story.
The only problem is the somewhat discrepency of the main character which I don't found consistent but from some dialogue it may be tackled soon.
The pacing is very good and I advise anyone liking dark fantasy settings to give it a read.
