  Not the most detailed review, but a review nonetheless about this great story.  The current story unfolding really made me intrigued and has me really enjoying every bit of it. I'm enjoying the writing style and the world-building. I also love the interactions between Pip and Prince Jacob! Cannot wait for more!

  A fun take on the system trope. It's different enough for the story to stand out but all of the familiar elements are still there (levels, skills, etc) to keep fans of the genre invested.
  However, the real reason you should read this story is for the characters (Pip in particular). They're all fun and memorable, especially the maid mentioned in the title.
  A definite recommend if you're looking for a fun, lighthearted read.

  Quite frankly, I found this story to be painfully stifling. So many secrets, so many annoyances. Especially at the start with Pip.
  The only good things about the story, in my opinion, is the MC and the story's short duration.
  I could go on and on about this, but honestly I read this for the MC, wanted more of his story, felt like the 1st half should've been from Pip's perspective with some of his thoughts trickling in and am glad I read it, just never ever will I read it again.

  Readers, have you ever read Games of Thrones and thought to yourself, “Man, wouldn’t it be great if there were a novel like this, but with systems?” Because if so, then you no longer need to look any further. This novel, right here, is exactly that
  Style and Story:
  The systematic shtick is something you and I are both familiar with. However, right from the very start, this novel already differentiates itself from many of its peers. With a snarky third person POV, the opening of the first chapter introduces readers to a highly advanced fantasy world. Yet, even with the achivements of science and magic, it soon becomes clear that systems alone dictate the worth of everyone and everything
  Prince Jacob, the unlucky prince without a system, is pretty much a fish in a barrel, waiting to simply get skewered. The more you read, the more you realize how desperate the protagonist is, especially when he has to accept help from his own assassin. The intrigues and mysteries, as well as the constant backtalks/backstabbing will keep you on your toes. By the end of the day, you simply have to wonder how long until the “alliance” finally snap
  Grammar:
  The grammar is brilliant, much like the extensive use of colorful words and phrases that allow readers to greatly immerse themselves in the fantasy world
  Character:
  Pip the maid might hold the system, but it is still Jacob the unlucky prince who calls the shot. These two are pretty much the complete opposite of one another. One is cheerful and goofy, and also possesses a deadly cunning. The other, while fed up with life, is still calculating and ruthless enough to fight every step of the way for his own survival. Together, they make for quite a match in hell, something that their enemies would learn too late
  Side characters are plenty, but memorable enough that their existence adds to the story instead of bogging it down. While reading, you would feel that everyone plays a role in the grand scheme of things, which simply makes the worl

  It has a great start and a great epilouge, the middle is a bit dicey, too often after a character conflict the events just don't matter or too little context is given for character motivations. The main characters are really well done and memorable.
  The journey is often the most interesting and important part of the story and the scene setting is well done.
  My biggest gripe is that some things are named too on the nose 'ghosts' really should be named something more in universe, since Readers will always come in with their own definition of 'ghost' similar names or even just capitalizing it goes a long way i.e. 'Ghosts' or 'Spirits' similarly something is called a 'motorcycle' which in no way works or acts like a motorcycle, a in universe name would work better for it like 'Airbike' or something.
  The LitRPG system was really interesting and was a shame more wasn't done with it, granted that was part of the neat thing of the novel is that the MC doesn't have access of the system itself.
  The fact that the secondary main character keep pulling secrets out constantly for no good reason was frustrating to say the least, the MC even calls it put which doesn't feel good at all, if you realize a piece of writing doesn't make sense drawing attention to it really sucks the reader out of the story. Even a "You'll find out in due time" would push it till later when some explanations can take place.
  It's rough at times but it's a decent story, just after a lot of the journey didn't matter and the destination didn't feel as satisfying since it was only found out at the very end, the epilouge was really well done though but compounds even more how little the journey meant.
