  You've got a lot going for this story, but I cannot stand reading it normally. I don't do much mind the character dynamics and interruptions like the other reviewers, but I HAVE to complain about pacing. It's slow. Very slow. Like, drunk baby snail slow. Feel free to half the chapter length or so, maybe reorder the scenes a bit to spread out the action. I like what you've done, I feel like I've spent a few hours reading this that weren't necessary. Then again, I have similar complaints about Lord Of The Rings. They made an art out of the slowness, to make it feel like a journey. I still don't think that fits into exposition. I would love if you could take it up a notch.
  Either way though, I have enjoyed reading, and I will continue with this story for the foreseeable future.

  No noticeable grammar issues, but I'm no grammar wizard, so what the hell do I know? Characters have well-defined personalities, generally no issues there.
  The biggest and most critcial issue I have with this is the pacing. It's excruciatingly slow and I mean excruciating, 13 moderately-sized chapters in, and all we had to show for it was a massive flashback and a bit of chit chat with an asshole AI. I'm not looking for the equivalent of a book written by Michael Bay, but for a dungeon-esque reincarnation novel (as a monster!), you'd think the pacing would be faster and more eventful.
  To clarify, any time things of interest start becoming exciting, it is promptly interrupted. This only serves to make the pacing feel even worse. A good example is the introduction, it starts with the MC seemingly stuck in limbo (interesting) and then immediately goes into a massive flashback (boring). It would make far more literary sense, to divide the flashback up and spread it throughout her dungeon experience, perhaps as recollective dreams, or perhaps she could even gradually get her memories back piece by piece instead of in one massive block, so that it paced better, but no. Another example is that immediately after she hatches and is surrounded by snakes (interesting), the MC immediately launches into a massive conversation lasting a chapter or two (boring) and are discussing things that aren't pertinent to her present survival, which in and of itself, ironically, isn't discussed. It definitely suffers from the infodump 'tell not show' syndrome, where pretty much everything you could ever need or want to know is worked into the dialogue, even if it won't be relevant for another 200 chapters. Eugh.
  Lastly, I dislike the MC and teacher's relationship dynamic, feels it like it'll continue to go in the direction of making the MC a perpetually idiotic buttmonkey while the teacher generally abuses her. I don't mind dark content, but I when the MC is literally stuck with gigantic ass

  ★★★ 2.5

  There is to much words and not much meaning. 75% could be easily skipped with no consequence. That is the reason text reads slow. I suggest to concentrate wordcount on the most important points and to make MC's reflection appear more, then 3'rd person exposition.
  Also I suggest pace changes, from Aurelia's perspective your characters dialogue much longer then it is because of her unspoken reactions.
  And, yeah, teacher is a fucker. He knew what he did and purposely spurred conflict, then continued torment students in their next lives. It would be funny if an ass would be punished for his bitchiness, but he isn't, so it reads like encouragement. I can congradulate author, the guy is truly villainous, but to stand his presence you need to be masochist.
