Description

Immortality is an illusion.

Ianna Kovac’s first moments of a new life after her own uneventful one comes to an end are marked with fear, pain, and yet another death. Faced by the guardian of an ancient tomb she experiences firsthand the horrors of her new home. She will need to find allies; horrors, monsters, demons, warriors, and kings to help her.

No solution is out of the question, no means are off the table to survive and make her place in a world terrified of her very existence. Even if that means becoming a monster herself. After all, nothing is immortal in Orum, not even the gods.

So far it is doing well. The chapters are a little shorter than what I personally prefer, but I liked the story.
The grammar is good, and while it is still just the beginning I am looking forward to how this book develops.
I guess this shit needs to be like 50 words long or something. Why include that? It just makes more people wanna write bullshit in their reviews? I think this should be changed. Sometimes people just wanna say "this is good" and walk away. What's wrong with that?

Really fun, fast-paced litRPG-ish read. The litRPG part is well done since it isn't too in-your-face and serves to move the story & the character interactions forward. And the characters are what makes this story shine: smart, authentic, passionate, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny. The banter & snark between main character Teyva & sidekick Azrael makes otherwise tropey battle scenes fun to read. The planning, puzzling, plotting against foes etc. highlights that that, while mistakes are made, Teyva & team are not just reacting to circumstances, but forging their way through the crazy political and magical shockwaves that Teyva's transmigration has caused in their world. Oh, and a certain (cough... no spoilers!) tsundere mini arc had me rolling on the floor.
Teyva grows not just by strengthening herself, but by building an ever increasing crowd of summons and forging new alliances & friendships with those she meets during her adventures. In the end, it's not so much a story about her as it is about the weird-ass family/tribe she's at the center of as the mother of monsters.

This is a great story, character development is good, grammatically it is well done and moves at a good pace. I look forward to more chapters and find the characters relatable and developing in ways that are unexpected but not in a bad way. Keep writing, I'll keep reading!

Lets see, Normally I try to wait till I catch up to review stories but I've been pushing them out early because of the review contest.
Essentially this is a LitRPG that pulls from many similar stories but does so in a well put together and entertaining way. The Grammer and spelling are flawless/corrected when pointed out. The Style is easy to read with no weird language or halting spots.
The Story itself is paced well but hasn't yet done anything crazy. The Characters themselves have backgrounds and feel like work has been put into them but they feel sort of off in terms of their dialogue and the way they react.
All in all this is a solid entry into the genre. The powers as presented seem like a mishmash of different similar stories... but they work off one another and are entertaining to read about.
Powers as presented by chapter 18
Aspect stone based skill system.
Body manipulation/turning body parts into weapons.
Minon summoning (I think coin based mimics are unique so +1 to that novelty)
Standard litprg inventory/consume aspect stones/looting/status.
Overall score is used to represent my enjoyment. Personally its entertaining and I'm in the mood for a story like this right now so I'll continue reading...but I'm not sure if it does enough to transcend its genre. I wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends who don't read LitRPG's... nor would I pull it out as the best story in the genre... it's just, well... "something that's entertaining".
As a TLDR; I recommend this to anyone who likes the genre and is itching for more of the same.

Let me start by saying that I am a bit miffed that the story went on hiatus right as it started really getting good. I do understand that the author has some personal things going on, and I wish the best to you and your family. This book is a lot better than I expected and I agree the MC is a bit stupid and trusting, but it's not as if it doesn't make sense that a 20ish year old girl transported to a different world would find trust and comfort in just about anyone who doesn't try to kill her. I thought the book was great and I will keep it on my list in hopes of new chapters.

Amazing read! Only wish that it was longer. Started getting tired of “dearie”, but unexpectedly grew to appreciate the depth the author gives. Please update faster!! I love how Teyva’s whole backstory to becoming a demon lord was fleshed out AND we get to see being a demon lord. feels like that sort of thing doesn’t really happen in stories. 10/10

This is just a work of art, you see a clear concise growth of character in not just the protagonist but also those around her, you see a clearly driven goal and you get to see the ups and downs these characters go through. You can actually feel their laughs, their loves, and their cries. I would 10 out of 10 recommend that this be read and I honestly think it should be published.

Hands down one of my favorite webnovels. The characters are interesting and have depth and character growth over the course of the series. I actually care about the characters and their thoughts and feelings. The writing is excellent, with minimal mistakes. The protagonist is simultaneously OP and not, striking a very fine balance that I love.
Just generally a really good webnovel. Would highly recommend.

I really love this story. The characters are all excellent and have great dynamic conversations together. The arcs are easy to follow, and a few characters are not who they seem to be at first glance. Teyva herself has a really good character progression and it is really fun seeing her become the mother of monsters.

I have enjoyed this story, it has a good MC with an interesting set of powers that don't feel overpowering. Well paced action scenes and believable character interaction with plenty of mystery and learning opportunities as you would expect if you found yourself in an alien world. Can't wait to see how it will progress. Thanks for the story and please continue.
