    The first 10 chapters were a little choppy in story and character. The issues that I thought were cliche or obvious became more irrelevant as the plot continued. The grammar issues are very minimal, like one or two a chapter, which isn't a big deal. It was mostly word replacement like instead of one word, it had another word that sounded similiar. Nothing that I'd reduce a half star for, as I've seen the later chapters don't have these types of issues.
    I've read up to the latest chapter 22. I like the MC and enjoy the difference between the outter shell she displays and inner dialogue/voice. Like how she appears to be checking out someone when she is just trying to do small talk in an elevator. She thinks her small talk was a success after talking to the cop, but the cop thinks he almost died from the gun. Very cute.
    When certain events happen in the story at first I feel like they are a little too obvious, but then this just illistrates to me that the little girl truly doesn't have the same common sense. Example, showing off her scars to Mox.
    Ramble / non review personal thoughts : I imagine if she got into a relationship, you'd think that she would be very yandere-chan-like, but I don't think she'd understand jealousy. I imagine the female lead from ah my goddess. There are some good similiarities I think. I know you already said that you aren't going to add much romance. I will say that the platonic relationship with mox is very cool. I have a feeling our MC would make for a good cosplayer with mox lol... I also like the batman aproach that she has when dealing with situations.
    Thanks for your story.

    A refreshing story in royalroadl, I am glad I could take a break from the endless amounts of reincarnation/sword and magic stories.  What is even better is the well written and thought out storyline, I couldn't stop reading when I started and despaired when I ran out of chapters.

    I personally love the cliché stories that can be found here on rrl, reincarnation, rebirth, virtual reality and all those, I can read them all and enjoy it. As far as non cliché stories go my standards are a lot higher, but this story is one of the few that meets them. It's a great read and I love the main character. Keep it up author-san!

    the first 13 chapters are pretty bland, they are mosty introduction that is needed. but by chapter 16 I was in love with this story. it had the perfect amount of baddass and comedy to make my day better. it's well worth the time to read.

    In the cesspool of awful grammar and terrible stories we have this gem. It’s well written and has a interesting storyline on top of that there is rarely issues with grammar. Though it does have cliches  it still manages to be new and original. Once you get past chapter 10 it improve drastically from the start and from that point on the character development really takes off. All in all it’s a story I always look forward to a new chapter from.

    This story is quite different from the others on the website and it's refreshing!
    It's about a 15 years old girl who was raised by an assassin organization, but the organization just got destroyed so she got captured by the millitary (she will eventually escape, don't worry).
    There is just too many thing that I like about it!
    - FMC is very badass and quite OP, but she is not invincible: she won't lose in 1v1, but if she is 1v10 against elite soldier with guns, then it's complicated (still manageable sometimes).
    - FMC has a funny side: she was raised since she was small and trained like crazy, so she has no clue about how the outside world is. She has absolutely no commun sense! Uh? Is it illegal to walk in the street with a gun? Wait, is stealing illegal? Isn't killing normal?
    - The MC is an expert to everything related to fighting, tracking, assassination, sniping, spying..... She also know a lot of thing about the underworld, and she can speak more than 10 langages, but that's all. She is not a Mary Sue because there are many thing that she can't do. There are many other novel with assassin female lead (especially chinese novel) but they don't only know how to fight but also hacking, to heal any injury, leadership, etc, but in this one, the FL still have realistic skills that justify her background.
    - One of the thing I liked the most is that we can see the reaction of the policemen/millitary who are trying to chase her (she is wanted cause she keep killing people lol). They react like: "Why is she so good at escaping, hiding, and anti-tracking BUT she casually walk in the street with a gun in her hands??? :D"
    I recommend for anyone who want a story different from the others with a very strong female MC who just randomly steal, kill people (she only kill criminal), destroy buildings with explosives, etc, and with the reaction of the policemen and millitary!

    The carecter was unique and there are lots of action scenes. I have only read one other book that is similar to this so it was very refreshing.

    The closest thing I could compare this story with is The Bourne Identity meets Agent 47.
    A young engineered super assassin goes AWOL, discovers how shitty her situation actually was and turns on her creators. Fighting and evading the police, soldiers and other assassins along the way. This story is good enough to make a film out of and I’d pay to see it.
    Story: The story is simple and straightforward, a good fit for an action thriller. No element of the plot overstays its welcome and the ending is brief but satisfying.
    Grammar and style: The weakest link in an otherwise strong chain. The grammar and spelling leave something to be desired but nothing that a good editor could not help fix.
    Character: The only character explored in depth is our protagonist. That is not to say every other character is one dimensional but the story would benefit from exploring and deepening the characters of Seven’s closest allies and enemies. Seven herself has enough force of character to make up for the lack of deep side characters, she is bristling with personality and I had plenty of fun following her adventures. If the author were to apply the same approach to the other characters they would be almost lifelike.
    Additionally, Seven’s youth, naivete and lack of common sense and experience is very well applied. The author manages to hit just the right balance of competency and inexperience and I applaud them for it, this balance is something I would struggle to write myself.
    Small gripe (spoilers):
    Her fight with 5xy is just a smidge too lucky, I felt the bullets ricocheting off Calli’s plot armour. She does fight a superior opponent and wins mostly by skill and surprise but having two bullets not kill her outright by luck as Calli admits set me off just a smidge. I like the consequences of the fight and that the first bullet gave her a serious injury, that she could not fight her better without paying the price. But the second bullet in her shoulder not hitting anything important by s

    I have had this in my follow tab for a long time; and finally decided to read it.  my revew, if summed up to a single word... would end up being censored.
    the idea presented, a youth rased in harrowing circumstances, is not a new one.  however, I belive that the author does an excelent job of making you care about it's idiocyncratic protaganist; and presents their material in a way that keeps the reader interested.
    there are some term misuses, especially when considering weapon function of firearms, as well as the constant misuse of the term 'clips' when 'magazines' would be meant; and because the protaganist supposedly was raised in some horrible circumstances, these term confusions would not have occoured when reading from the protaganist points of view.  also, because the only books she was allowed to read, for her 14-16 years (the story is purposefully vauge about her age) were language arts and dictionaries for several languages, there are sometimes words that are misused, and out of place in the protagonist's point of view text that detracted from the overall story for me.  one instance in particular, was near the end of the story when the word 'predecessors' was used, however the term 'Decendants', or one of its synonyms would have been correct.
    I had to reread the paragraph a couple of time to make sure I read it right, and then hocked it up to the writing style of the author.
    overall:  I would recomend this story as a good example of how to end a story.  although there are still many many questions to be answered; the main plot of this part has been fully realized, and ended in an excelent place.  I will be interested in seeing how the next story, the author has called The Girl Named Izza, will go.  will it talk about the protaganists ties to a criminal syndicate; will it delve further into the relationships, or will the protaganists' Family get harmed, and she takes matters into her own hands.
    although, the direction I would take the story probably isn't i
