  This is a truly delightful tale so far, and I hope that more people give it a shot. I don't think it'll be for everyone, particularly as RR seems to be mainly LitRPGs and Xianxia etc. But the author delivers us really beautiful ideas and some lovely characters.
  It has other species as mains! Often I find lots of 'monster evol' stories etc on RR, but they typically do a poor job of dealing with the characterisation of fantasy races – its alway some generic person reincarnated as a 'monster' that is just an excuse for a power fantasy but with the weird simultaneous fantasy of being downtrodden or othered. I really dislike that trope. But! Instead, here we have a real attempt to come to terms with what it might mean to have different cultures and ways of speaking come together! Lovely.
  The magic here isn't systematised, but that only increases its sheer delight and wonder. I love all the peculiarities of speech and the kinds of people living in the world.
  A few (slight) negative things:
  1. occassional typos or incorrect word use, but nothing that gets in the way of the narrative.
  2. The world feels like it is extremely clear to the author, but that we are only getting a very limited view of it. I feel like there are beautiful things everywhere, but I cannot see them, and it is driving me mad.This is really more of a personal opinion than a problem with the writing, but I would like some more description of the situations/physicality of the locations we are in.
  Anyway, it might not be for everyone, but I hope you give this wonderful story a chance.
