Tails!
And while you wouldn't believe it from the title and description, it's a pretty decent story. The writing is clean, the characters feel alive and although the action scenes could use some work, it's fine.
The story is very early on, and I believe that it will only get better from now.
Honestly? I need more!

This story is fun, but isn't really what I expected from the synopsis and tags.
I thought this would be a lighthearted, comedic story, but there is a lot more grimdark, world of slavery, stuff going on then I thought there would be, and a lot less of everything else. It's good, just not exactly what I thought it would be.
I gave it 5 stars, but I do have nitpicks.
1. The people in the world are almost caricatures of real people. The nobles all seem to be terrible people. Everyone seems to have exaggerated personalities, having 1 emotion they feel in extreme. It makes them seem like NPCs instead of real people.
2. The world is similarly caricaturized. Each race having their own seperate countries that don't interact with each other except for war. Certain species are put into permanent slavery for being in certain countries. It's simple, clean, and easy to understand, but isn't very organic. It doesn't exactly feel like a living world.
3. Events happen in ways that don't really make sense sometimes. It's kind of like a game where events seem to just happen spontaneously without realistic timescales. For example,
In chapter 19, the MC decides to set out from the elven country to the human lands to retrieve the rest of the bandits she was with. They leave in chapter 20 and it takes them 2 hours to get to the border. The MC thinks "going at this pace, I think we would be able to go back by sundown." However, when they get to their destination, the sun has already set. Next, the bandits decide not to go with them, and leave even though it's dark. They are then attacked by those bandits later the next day, who have somehow managed to leave the woods entirely, gotten someone to come attack them, and traveled all the way back to their location. It doesn't really make sense unless their group never moved, especially when, after the fight the guide says, "We should reach the border by sundown.", which means they haven't moved at all.
It's weird and doesn't really make sense t

Its a good story given it has a unorthodox main character. Yeah sometimes story beats shoehorn their way in without much pushback from the main characters but thats in charcter for them, I worry less about the pacing and story beats and mostly that the characters stay true to themselves, in that this is a wonderful story.
I also love people whining about how many sections could have been longer in a story thats nearly 700 pages, Id always love more but it ended well enough.

I will give it 4star for simple reason. Story set some line and wasnt trying to get over itself.
Some people often blindly compare one work with another and dont even realize even these stories have their levels where they belong.
It usualy began when author simply bite more then he can handle. However this doesnt happen here.
Story was simple yet funny. No complicated big backround play. Simple mechanics yet we werent simply smiten by super fantastic overpowered mc. I truly tresure these qualities.
Editing... Lets be honest there wasnt none. There was multiple mistakes with he/she, his/her. Sometimes some stumble but hey it isnt big published work.
However i have to ask what happened ? Story is definitely fast paced but what i found strange how many times somehow story path took 489° salto and went in random direction. System implementation was ... Useless. Last time we could hear of it was after killing hydra where mc got 3 levels and that was it. Why they didnt learn any more skills ? Why was only sword mastery linked between them ? Why Fmc never get her own blessing for example. System is simply completly useless here and i would prefer simple mana system rather then touching something and leave it to die.
Also how did even power system worked ? It was so random. One character was 70 one was 90 one was 200 mc ended like 35 ? (Ok lets say 35x2) however never it realy felt there are gaps between them no matter what was their focus. I mean common that guy at 200 should by logic be able to just trash like anything there is.
Healer lv 90 and she is able to heal only dozen of injuries ? Daily ? This was said in final arc and it completly doesnt make sense if we consider whole fort situation.
I enjoyed it anyway to be honest. It was somewhat realy refreshing. Sadly after 2 arc it somehow feel very rushed. With finale too tbh.

Reincarnated as a tail is a very fun fast paced isekai story which delivers on what you would expect of such a story. The grammar is good although there are some errors and typos but even when they appear I can understand what it meant to say. The characters are fine, Lily is the best because she has the most character development. The other characters are fun but kind of one note, also basically every bad guy is racist. The story is good, I like it's quick pace although it often introduces a problem that needs solving but quickly puts that problem on hold as a new more urgent one shows up. The worldbuilding is realistic and fun. The litrpg aspects play a smaller role than I was expecting. Finally it has some kingdom building which I like and tons of politics.
If you're looking for a litrpg story with a gimmick I wouldn't recommend this one honestly. Although if you want kingdom building and politics I'd definitely recommend.

There are lots of stories revolving around a kind of sapient creature or even an object. I have never seen any where the person becomes a limb before, so this was a rather attractive premise to me.
When I hear "two people inhabiting one body", I assume its about the relationship they would they have - after all, they are connected in more ways than one. If you expect this topic to be expanded here... You will likely be disappointed.
Both of the main characters were slaves, and it shows. Lily is very docile and lacks enthusiasm - for the first volume or so she just stumbles around and sometimes listens to what Shiro tells her to do, because he is the more mature one.
Shiro also feels unambitious - he believes that since he is the tail, he should just sit there and let Lily decide where to go and what to do. He used to be a corporate slave yet the prospect of having autonomy doesn't seem to excite him very much - his relationship with Lily is nonexistent exactly because she just does her own thing and he hangs around.
And the most ironic thing is that after being released from servitude,
they almost immediately got bound by a government, tied to land and duty as a noble. They didn't seem to object that at all.
I wasn't thrilled to read about these people.
The secondary characters in this story are rather flat. The author clearly tries to give them depth, and almost succeeded in the beginning with the mercenaries, but later the amount introduced is overwhelming. All of the people might have depth but only a few stick out in the crowd. Then you can't recall a tetriary character because they had a grand total of 9 lines of dialogue.
Which is why I forgot many names. There are just too many, brought in too quickly, with too little difference. Not every random Joe needs introduction, especially not at the cost of existing characters who lack screentime already.
The setting is your conventional fantasy. Somehow, races unite into large countries and not branch into more. Wha

The good things first. The story is fast, easy to follow with in relatively simple world. Entertaining fast food. Only little distraction from grammar or confusing sentences.
The main problem (apart from being LitRPG just for the sake of it) is that the story fails to fulfill the promise of the title. Almost all important conversations are 'parroted' from the tail. Same for the action. The bearer of said tail has less personality than a short-lived villain henchman. The story would be the same if he would have been reincarnated as the entire foxgirl.
I would have expected emotional conflict, disagreement between tail and body. But the foxgirl seems to be an obedient slave of the tail. And said tail operates the foxgirl like it is his job in the cold company, with cold efficiency. Thus, there is no story involving a tail in the end, no development apart from stats and skills. If this is enough for you, it is entertaining.
It was said in another review, and I agree, Nora seems to be the most complete character so far.

A rather interesting premise, but it loses a lot of its punch to technical issues, primarily grammar (in particular tenses are all over the place) and a lack of "showing" rather than "telling."
More "showing" allows the story to unfurl more evenly, and draws the reader in deeper, making them care about the characters - right now it seems kind of rushed, like the author can't wait to tell us all about this great idea they have. Enthusiasm for a good idea is understandable and even charming in its way, but too much can hamper the story's development.
Those issues can always be worked on, so I hope the writer keeps working on their craft.

It's a competent story, for a Royal Road LitRPG, and it FINISHED. Yeah, kudos to the author for that. Unfortunately, it also grew repetitive and dull. Too many pages of the same thing over and over. The same predictable rags to the monster killing queen I have seen over and over. I didn't feel any growth of the protagonist. To me, material progression is not a conflict. Also, the story follows the trope of everything going right. That's boring.

The story is a bit simple to start with which wasn't bad when we got to the foxgirl bit, where she escaped and then the quality's of the story didn't Improve, we eventually get to the elves and the world building is pretty crummy as well as the writing.
I will say the author seems to be writing earnestly, but they still have a ways to go.
