TLDR:Weeb Girl Evolution: What if Heaven was a video game?
What to Expect:It's a full journey weak-to-strong slice-of-life epic cozy action LitRPG what where the MC has literal anime powers and I try to present and subvert as many red flags as I can.
Standard Blurb:Jessie was just your normal everyday antisocial nihilistic teenage anime nerd sociopath with a bright future ahead of her. But then she died.
Before that, she figured something out. An explanation.One that technically works if you ignore all biological, technological, and architectural limitations, not to mention common sense.
But she hadn't learned about those yet.And they're of no concern to Heaven.
Whenever a soul accepts its invitation recognizing a heroic death, the self-sustaining dyson sphereabsorbs their current body's memories into itself.
If new information is encountered, Heaven will often add or modify something about itself to compensate.Naturally, any soul that inspires such a change will gain priority access to the result.
Which is how Jessie finds herself spawning into Heaven as anAnime Swordsman.
Has she ever actually held a sword before? No.
Is she willing to take instruction?[ PROFANITY REDACTED ]no.
Is that going to stop her?[ PROFANITY REDACTED ]no!
Instead, she'll abuse the[ PROFANITY REDACTED ]out of it to rise to the top.
To do what so many have tried before. Are still trying today. To enter the tournament to enter the tournament to enter the tournament to invite to heaven the one she died to save.
Only one team of eight can claim the ultimate prize every four years.
With thousands of times more newly immortal Heroes arriving by the second, can she ever hope to surpass them all?

There are some flash back chapters and multiple POV that add to the story
Also the P.E.N chapters are my favourite
Words for the word count
Words for the word count - SaucingtonRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Big fan of profanity.
Okay, the first thing that was fun was the way UI and system notifications to show us the irony of the scenes, but also the depth of Robert's character. The comedy of errors with invites and removals. And I loved his confident/analytical internal monologue that didn't match up at all, with the chaotic combat log.
I loved this constant pendulum swinging over his status. He goes from high status attitude and low status moments. He's powerful and he's emotionally fragile. This makes for such an enjoyable character because perfect heroes are boring while petty heroes are hilarious!
Also, the fights were a total spectacle. That's what we come for. It's the trope of "ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!": His whole real strategy is "Get bigger and hit harder". He's the brilliant strategist who, when it's time to enact his careful plans, just hits [SUDDEN MOMENTUM] activation and stomps enemies, and that explains why he's finally defeated.
He's a Worf. He stomps enemies with ease until he gets defeated just to show how powerful the new competent villain is.
Then, you had a fun new take on the LitRPG elements. People are exploding on screen and you're issuing GrammarNaziRetaliationBot quests. It's a wonderful meta mix of humor and horror.
