Description

After meeting with a horrible fate on an otherwise typical Martian day, Tsukino Sachiko finds herself stranded with only a surprisingly unremarkable alien for company. Join her as she battles giant monsters, strange locals, and feelings of insignificance in the hopes she might one day return to a world that makes sense.

AN: This story is an attempt to overcome insecurity regarding the quality of my writing by practicing with intentional schlock. "Just write," as the advice goes. While it may not be masterfully plotted, the subject matter is one close to my heart and one that I endeavor to explore in a new light. After all, who ever heard of the fairy sidekick being an isekai protagonist?

You know 'that friend'? The one that said they didn't study for today's test and ended acing the whole thing? Well, this author is that friend.
Barring the justified paragraph choice (which I hate because it's decrease readability on computer screen), the whole thing was great. No. Grand. It was the stuff you found on the fiction classic bestseller section when getting hooked up on 150-ish dollar a month of Patreon bill isn't a thing yet (I know, I'm old).
The author has enough vocabulary to convince the reader that they could write both space opera and isekai. Which is the case. Since this is basically that, an isekaied space opera 'alien' mechanic.
Yeah.
And if that's not enough to hook you (I mean, wow,). Let me tell you that the author mastered perspective like M.C. Escher. Their description how should I put it...
Warping
...that sounds about right. The description forced you to be on the same level, the same size as the MC. Which is fairy-sized. It's on the same tier of Bee Movie, but this one won on contemplation/feeling/inner monologue (as writing medium should) while Bee Movie won on the visual description (because it's a freaking animation).
The pace, the pace. It's quite steady. But slowing on the action scene. Which understandable, the author wants the readers to be invested when the MC faced the danger and the 'danger' of the giant world. However, a portion of it, not all, but good chunk of it, falls a tiny bit short. Not that it's bad. Like telling instead of showing. Instead, it's the complex sentences. The things require a re-read. Sometimes a paragraph re-read.
This where the justify choice is most glaring I think, the brain subconscious could only offset so many things at once. So when the readers are forced to understand new perspective (remember, the reader is human and not three apples tall), the complex sentences and the riveting sensory descriptions, making the not helping text formatting to be a bit much. At least that what I think.
Grammar. I
