In a world where martial arts and magic flourish, can Thera survive the coming battles with her wits-and family-intact?

I've never written on a story before however I have found myself completed immersed in this story and can't help but immediately anticipate the next chapter after reading one. Also the consent release of chapters like this only serves to draw me in more.
As such I look forward to seeing where this story goes. Keep up the good work.

It's a very good story with little to no grammer mistakes! The plot, though a bit cliche at times, is very good and somewhat original. The pacing is well done, so that the plot moves pretty quick, but spread out evenly and doesn't seem rushed. The characters' thoughts and personally are yet defined, but they don't do things out of it, and doesn't seem forced. Plus! The how the opness is revealed, how the mc lies doesn't tell everything, and the fricken cute kitties, I LUV! Wish more more Moe doe.

Hi ?
for me the cultivation stages are simple yet easy to understand.
the plot progression is smooth.
the world building is modern/medieval which is easy to understand. The monsters are quite interesting and unique. The japanese theme mixed in also seems natural.
barley and the teachers are cool
unfortunately the female mc seems too perfect. It would be better if she has some weaknesses or somehow selfish. Some side characters also seem flat.
there's also lack of conflict or a worthy antagonist. however? its still too early in the story? so it might show in later chapters.
In summary? ive had a blast reading this. Thank you and God Bless?

Your passion and humor really come through in the story so I can't really give a lower score. I hope you keep writing and look forward to future releases.
Some tips for the author:
1. You story is a bit too straightforward sometimes. Thera comes across as a sort of Mary Sue in many situations (cattle transportation magic, broken spying magic, etc.) and I wish she had encountered more complex challenges.
2. It's a bit too late to fix but your classification system makes it difficult to take things too seriously. "king", "emperor class" etc. all sound like ways a child would classify things.
3. Some of the abilities sound too game like, with very little explanation grounded in reality, which takes away from the realism of the story.
4. Finally, your story has a clash of themes. On one hand, there are some clearly darker elements in what appears to be a serious story. However, there's a lot of comedy and randomness thrown in as well. I don't think the two are blended particularly well so I constantly feel a sense of discord.

Blazed through all the available chapters yesterday, so I thought I’d leave a review.
*Will contain spoliers*
Style:
Authors style is consistent through the 40+ chapters, so it’s nice and easy to read. Seems to be playing around with other POV’s recently which I don’t mind as they tend to flow together very well. Though the introduction of Barley was pretty abrupt. Also I hate his name. I mean, I get he’s a peasant I just felt that the name was a bit too much.
Nothing much else to say. Ah, I guess I should mention that the author is steadily progressing through the story. In other words, the pacing is pretty smooth. That being said a bit more detail in during big events would be appreciated. As I said, the pacing is more or less smooth, so the several events that happen during the story tend to not stand out as much as they could. It’s like a calm river without the rapids and eddies that should be there.
Story:
Story is the typically reincarnation cliche with the author’s own twist to it. Nothing really bad about it per se. However, I have noticed that there are moments that the author tends to overexaggerate the MC’s abilities.
Three instance I can think off the top of my head are:
– When she handled the Vampire Spiders. I felt that there were just too many of them after you built up their profile. No matter how skilled the tamer was he’d have to go out looking for them one by one and I can’t imagine it’d be easy or safe to do so, so it’d take quite a bit of time, yet the antagonist seemed pretty young. I also felt that that amount could easily drain a village worths of people as you didn’t make their population too high, but you described that a significant number were bled by the spiders, so I didn’t think there were too many. 15 would have been pushing it, and then you went and doubled it.
– When the MC was reading a book and throwing needles at targets. Just way too overexagerted. She has no detection ability so I have no idea how she could perceive inanimate t

It was a great story. Had the author given it some proper ending around chapter 20, it might have been one of RoyalRoad's top ten stories. But it had no end there so I just became another story going from once absurd to even more absurd setting, without any discernable plot and updates so slow that even if the run-away plot did not make you give up following, you'd not be able to remember anything happening anway.

Edit: just to make things clear i had very fond memories of this novel as i was there when you started this from chapter 1.
I was very eager to receive a new chapter so i am rather disapointed i wanted this novel to be a succes like you do but sadly dreams dont come tru.
I stil kept reading for a bit after writting this review reaching the part were Briar(aka thera) fell down the crevice just for thales and the others to walk away.... yea WALK AWAY.
Why dnt they get a rope and follow her??? its like a forced cinametic even when thera met the old fool underground why didnt she ask WHAT THE FUCK are they doing there below there is no force field keeping them there so why cant they just climb upwards its so freaking confusing.
Heya author i really liked your story till the side chapter with the new character barley from this point on this story went downhill not stopping just getting worse and worse.
Now with that out of the way let me tell ya what kept getting worse in order starting with the weird ass japanese jokes.
Your story didnt contain any of these till this side chapter and suddenly overtook your whole story at some point it wasnt about Thera or her becoming a noble with her own mansion you suddenly cut off and throwd it all away.
I really dont understand how you made this choice i am even doubting if the same author is writting this story as its just utterly diffrent.
So let me get this straight 24 chapters about Thera growing up with quite some nice dialogue to suddenly introduce a side character who keeps using terms like BOKE,TSUKOMI AND WHATNOT just for for THERA and LAURA to be even worse.
You do realise that at the inn were they cought the stalker 8 year old girl for them to smack each other with folding fans in a town that is surrounded with horny cjipmunks to be just to freaking utterly retarded aoiwshdaosdhas.
I dont understand this whole arc where are the cunning nobles the king the whole foreshadowed plot about war between the countries and Thera p
