    You know, coming from someone that reads drama and gore all the time, this is actually a very nice and well written story till now. The Mc is about average if you put her in the middle of otherwolrders, basically came right out of undertale with that determination, and actually seems like a interesting girl. Even if this story starts derailing, I'd say the author got a lot of rights here and can definitely get something even better latter on.

    I picked up this book on the recommendation of people from Facebook, and I fell in love from the first page. This book is well written, with a great balance of crunchy stats (just right!), with a protagonist that I care about and want to read more about!
    ive read it now two times all the way through, and am looking at getting the audio book just to hear it again, but in a new way.
    You won't regret it!

    What a cool story idea. I have read one other litrpg with the evolotuion type skill upgrades, but this one does an excellent job at it. Love the beginning so far. Can't wait to see what happens when the MC starts using magic. The cover is one of the cutest, silliest, and most endearing images I've ever seen! Hope the author keeps thriving on here and with that many followers, seems like they are. Keep it up!

    First off, I do not understand the negative reviews complaining it was too short. Most great stories span a handful of books, because there is so much to tell and show the reader. If anything, the fact that there is so much story material to fill multiple books should be a big positive and make you happy. The first book is usually an introduction to the world and establishing its rules, the general plot, and main characters. Its supposed to make you want to read more and it seems it accomplished just that even with the negative review bashing afterwards. To the one saying its “Another victim of kindle” you either do not actually care about the story and the author, because you gave it a negative review even though you found it promising just because the author released it on a another platform and therefore can not have it here as a free read. Most people who like a story and want more of it would support it instead and want the author to get paid so the author can spend more time writing good stories and not worry about anything else or having a fulltime job at the side. Enough about the rant :) here is my review of the story after borrowing the Kindle Unlimited version and buying the book afterwards:
    I really enjoyed this story and it seems the author has a well though out direction in mind. One of the things that sold me immediately and made me pick it up in the first place is that the MC is not a human. I always appreciate a story where the MC isn't the generic and boring human as almost every other author out there does (Or elf/dwarf... They are just as bad en cliche). The story doesn't contain any romance as the MC Naomi is litterally asexual and doens't have the need or desire for it. While romance isn't a bad thing it's rare to find good romance in this genre and if it can't be done well then its better to avoid it completely. The world seems to be very big with a large variety and diversity of races, religion, abilities and monsters (I especially like the c

    10 chapters in. Absolutely amazing, a little slow to start, but absolutely worth the read.

    I will leave descriptions of the story to those who are better at describing it (Zethuron).  I tend to think in bullet points, so that's what you're going to get.
    This story hits just about everything I look for in a story.
    It has a likable character who grows (not just in power but in self).
    It has an interesting world (as so far described) with enough hints that there is much more going on than you can see at the surface.
    It has (as of my reading) the beginnings of kingdom/city building (I really wish that was searchable).
    It has, from what I can see, a well thought out system (one that I would use in an RPG).
    It is internally consistant (this is a big one for me).
    It has some secrets (that I won't guess here just in case I'm right) for us to puzzle out.
    There isn't a lot of combat (neither a plus or a minus for me).  What combat there is is well done.
    As something to do together, my girlfriend and I read stories out loud to each other.  This one goes on the queue.  It does have status boxes which makes it harder to read to someone but they are a bit rare.  Also, the boxes are not repetative and are "wordy" enough to read without just reading a laundry list.
    With all due selfishness, I wish the author good health.

    Aside from my intense dislike against the casual bestowal of the word Immunity, this story is still pretty good. It might fall for the usual trap of too much skills too easily, but hopefully the ease of learning is only a form of 'natural noob support' or a helper for kids.
    The setting is kinda small for now, but the fic is firmly set to be a kingdom building, even if the kingdom only has 4 members as of yet.
    The building aspect doesnt detract from the fic's focus, and is infact turning into one of its core aspects (fitting for its title).
    Cautious optimisim is the word of the day for this fic. A good read if you are interested in the 'from the ground up' fantasy genre.

    Its hard not be drawn in by Naomi's adventurous and courageous spirit.
    The pacing of story is great as we watch Naomi rise to the unique challenges she faces around her. The world is an interesting place to explore with an underlining mystery that leave readers curious about what to expect next.
    I cann't wait to see where the author will take us next!

    Hi, I am a reader of this book. Yes before it got taken down.
    Sooo, i'm not entirely against people publishing their stories and stuff, but I don't think there was enough chapters to call it a book. The author had obviously foreshadowed the MC doing a lot more conquering, expansion and fighting. I mean that's what really got me. I would understand if the author had a story that was already done. Or a story that had enough content to call it a book. Doesn't have to be a gaint book, I just feel that the story just stopped and the author decided to put it up on kindle unlimited.
    when you have a charecter coming from the future saying that the MC was a great powerfull ruler that conquered many kingdoms. You kind of expect that to come to fruition, or something of the sort. You don't expect the author to cut off the story just as it was starting, just to do what? Get money from a story that barely even started? I just don't see the point.
    While a story isn't defined by it's chapter, it is defined by it's content. Sure there were a few small arcs, but when you make a big overeaching arc. It seemed like the author wanted to believe that he or she would make an epic saga of a isekei beggining. While the author dreamed big, the story had barely begun. He or she then decided that it was too much work to create an epic saga (for whatever reason) and thought "what I have so far is pretty good, I don't feel like/or can't wirte much more, imma call it quits and put it out into the world."
    Even if the author decided to continue the story and then put it on kindle, it would be nice to leave what he or she wrote on RR. Either way, it would be best to leave it on a big cliffie 35 chapters in or something. That way you might bring new readers to your book on kindle unlimited, not just the ones that already read what the author had and knew that it was good. You got to give more insentive to new readers. "Author, you may have seen a few books that got taken down to publish on Kindle un
