- SchmooseRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0You can tell that the author doesn't have a lot of experience writing but the characters are compelling the story seems well thought out and so far it's been great! Can't wait for more!
- FrostPrismRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The story is great. From what I have read there are very few, if any, grammar mistakes, the story is solid with no plot holes, and so far it has kept me interested throughout my day of reading. I would recommend others to read if they enjoy unconventional isekai stories. And I hope the author continues with what they are doing!
- agu12hRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Good for now~ Hoping to see a lot more of chapters xD
- stonedalpacaRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Had to change my review to an advanced review since I think the low scores in each category were undeserved.
The writing style is decent with reasonably well done dialog and I never felt put upon with any info dumps. My biggest complaint is regarding the perspective shifts. The author has an unfortunate habit of showing the same scene from multiple perspectives, which I believe should be done sparingly and only to emphasize truly different interpretations of events. Otherwise, I've quite enjoyed the read every step of the way.
The story has a decent premise (not original, but not overplayed imo) that the author has so far delivered upon. The pacing is good enough that I don't feel like I'm waiting around for things to happen.
As mentioned in other reviews, the supporting characters have a bit more depth than the MC. This feels like it's starting to change over a couple of the recent chapters though, so I have hope for the future.
There are grammar errors (sometimes structuring errors too with misplaced system messages) but none were bad enough to stop me or give me trouble.
tldr; It's a fun read with an author I think is improving. - cthakur92Royal Road★★★★ 4.0Read up to chapter 16, but the story didn't really caught my interest, ymmv.
- meerschaumRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Fun so far, nothing groundbreaking. (as of chapter 33).
- PaulTBRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5This is an okay story but it doesn't grab your attention. The relationship is bland and starts of pretty fast in a very shallow way. The plot takes a firm backseat and while there are hints that something more interesting may happen sometime in the future it hasn't arrived by chapter 18. Actually, the best chapters are where the main character is not present. Probably a bad sign.
There are also a whole lot of grammar mistakes. - JuanenRoyal Road★★★ 2.5The story is good and solid, a bit like any Isekai, with our MC appearing on this new world from nowhere, but with more meat on it.
The MC is mature, having a brain and thinking about consequences and not just being a simpleton. And the rest of characters are well built.
The world building is interesting. We have a well balance set of powers at the moment, even if we haven't seen much of it, and the character progression is well done.
But I cannot keep reading the story if the author leaves a chapter incomplete (leaving more than 50% of the chapter only in patreon). We asked him about it. Cause the chapter looks like a mistake of his own, but he never replied or fixed it. It's been already more than a month and he has posted 7 chapters mor,e and the mistake is there. And without that chapter the story loses its flow and cohesion for me.
So, I'm going to leave this review with the hopes the author can read it. Maybe if he sees we care about it he'll try and fix it.
Until the state of this story changes, I cannot recommend it. - Droy17Royal Road★★★ 2.5The story and grammar is good but it lacks common sense and logic.
