  If you expect bloody justice read something else, same if you expect a Jester Lavorre story cause this isn't that.
  It's about a character that is learning about the world as she goes and it's a slow burn story and there are moments that are infuriating, but remember characters don't behave like you do so it all makes sense in the end.
  I read it all from beginning to end and I recommend if you enjoy characters that are out of their depth but start to learn and grow over the course of the story.
  Some arcs are unresolved and waiting for what comes next. So be ready for the next installment if you enjoyed this enough to read all the chapters.

  Trickster Cleric is the level of writing any aspiring portal fantasy author wanted to reach. It has everything from originality, stand to your toes actions, even hints of realism, correct historical facts, and the best of all is the beautiful writings that make it so immersive.
  The story follows Amara, who found herself in another world. Minutes after her arrival, she becomes a major issue. The establishment tries to silence her just to maintain the status quo. While realizing the machination against her, Amara must adjust to her new life and to fulfil her basic needs.
  As you can see, there’s a lot of going on. This story offers more than the usual adventurer fantasy. Trickster Cleric plays like a Joan of Arc esque with a protagonist that’s quick on her wit, but keeps a level head. It also delves with how a world with class and level is a fertile ground for discrimination.
  Story is an easy 5/5. It’s refreshing, rich, and engaging. The world building is smooth and well-researched. The struggle feels real and the action scene is impactful. I like how any fights cause unthinkable struggles and injury for the MC.
  Character. Amara is the core of the story. Her past life is sorrowful, so does her new life, but she’s strong enough to keep her innocence. She’s good-hearted and confidence, with a knack for a sharp tongue, but smart enough to hold her tongue and anger.
  Her other flaws might be her rather short patience with a hint of pessimism, but that made her character grounded and relatable. Occasionally, she became too bold for her own good without strong reasons, but mostly she reacted logically. Those occasional boldness also seemed to be her hallmark, so it’s quite fitting.
  If there are issues about characters. The other adventurer party, and a few supporting casts, sometimes feel like a one dimensional caricature, but it’s a minor issue. So, I give 5/5 for Character.
  Style is where Trickster Cleric shines. The writings are not only easy to read but also beautiful and

  The first chapter immediately introduces Amara as a character, her quick backstory, and the problems she will face in the immediate future chapters. By chapter 10 it is clear what her quest in the world is and what she has to do even if we don't yet know how she will accomplish it. Though The possibilities of her powers are interesting the limitations aren't clear.
  The side characters are well done and add history and background to the world Amara is stuck in. I can't completely comment on them yet being only a few chapters in but they seem to be shaping up nicely and I quite like a salamander.
  The grammar and the overall writing are well done. The story is great at keeping me reading from chapter to chapter from the cliffhangers to the worldbuilding.
  I have nothing to say as far a style. other than maybe the glue boxes for her entire stat screen is quite long and large on the page. But the writing style itself is just fine.
  There were no mistakes I noticed with the writing. The action scenes so far have been engaging and well paced.
  In the end, this story is of great quality on Royal road with great potential, and for those searching for their next LitRPG story to read you have found it.

  Trickster Cleric follows the adventures (or misadventures) of Amara, reincarnated in an RPG-like world as a trickster cleric. My review is based on the first five chapters.
  Style Score (5): Honestly, if I could give this a 10/10 I would. The style is wonderful, charming, and engaging. I enjoyed reading immensely, from the descriptions of the filthy town to Amara’s combat against the giant rat in the inn. It’s all vivid and excellent. This is one of the best books I’ve read on Royal Road so far.
  Grammar Score(5): Again, excellent. I saw no grammar issues.
  Story Score(5): The plot is engaging and the pacing is excellent. I honestly feel at a loss for words when I really like something, and that’s how I feel about this story. The plot starts out relatively simple, seeing how Amara will survive against all odds in a despised and disadvantaged class, but I have the feeling it will become more complex as the story progresses.
  Character Score (5): The characters are wonderful. This sentence alone—“She read over the chart, wincing at how low some of her stats were and then paused when she reached luck. After the last few years, she’d expected luck to be her lowest stat—not her highest.”—gives the reader insight into our heroine’s character, her background, her perspectives. I’m looking forward to learning more about Amara and her little friend Salamander.
  Overall: GREAT! What else can I say? I’m following this for sure and looking forward to seeing how the story develops.

  I am up to the current chapter on this amazing story. The world building is very well done and being revealed at a good pace. The world seems to be an interesting one from what information we have available so far. The character building is also being done extremely well and it pace that is more than reasonable. Both the heroes and the villains are very well constructed. This has been and continues to be one of the few stories on this site that I avidly look forward to. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a very well written and fun to read adventure. I'm looking forward to more and Hope that others will come to enjoy this as much as I do. I'm looking forward to learning more about the pantheon of the world. In particular the main characters goddess. Jonas one of the main characters first contacts seems to have a very interesting class. I would truly like to know more about it but I think that's part of his mystery and what makes him enjoyable. The young girl that first friends are main character is a fascinating character watching her grow and learning more about her has been highly enjoyable. Then our dwarven friend. What more do I need to say he's a dwarf the best fantasy race ever.

  Things I Liked:
  Good intro into a new world
  No info dumps
  Everything is introduced through dialogue and when needed
  No one goes on tangents to set up world rules.
  Good prose
  No huge portions of needless purple prose
  Nice sprinkling of prose to help flesh out thoughts and character traits.
  Nice dialogue
  Most characters speak in realistic manner and within their character
  Each one also has a voice that distinguishes them from one another.
  Everyone reacts natural and no major sudden changes in their character.
  Character victories
  Amara has to earn her victories.
  Not given special treatment from other people
  Quite the opposite
  Has to slowly develop skills and knowledge of the world to help her figure out how to approach problems and earn a living with her arrival.
  Works with others to achieve successes, and doesn’t simply overcomes by minimal efforts.
  Things I’d Change
  Okay, I’ll be frank, most of what I found I’d change was more of style than anything else. Nothing was a major, “oh that’s not good” situation. And the game mechanic parts wasn’t over the top and didn’t feel like it was trying to fluff up the story and word count. This is a well done story and I’m hoping to see where it goes.

  This is an interesting take on the transmigrated genre. The game system is new to me with skills being assigned largely by chance.
  The MC starts out extremely underpowered, but with perks that guarantees incredible potential for growth with five times the points for skills and abilities what other gets. But she's also given a list of impossible quests and only five years to complete them.
  At times the story is grim dark, but then the image of a mimic trying to wag it's non existent tail makes you smile for a moment.

  The story is good. Nicely paced. And while my usual issue with most cleric stories is that it ends up with OP characters with god powers. This story balances out the "god powers" to keep combat/conflicts interesting.  So far. The MC is also not an engineer, doctor, programmer, etc.  So expect tech usage from a young adult perspective.
  While many of the MC decisions are infuriating. They make sense given who the character is. A young, inexperienced person who got "isekaid". Edit: there is also quite a bit of plot armor as many early decisions are very rash and could have easily gotten people killed.
  This also looks like it's going to be a very long story so expect a slow burn.

  I can't beginning to explain how thoroughly entranced while reading this.
  I wouldn't say the first chapter hooked me bit right after that I was eager to learn about what happens next and how the plot would progress. The eight chapter took me by surprise because I actually thought Amara would finally get a break but then nope shit hit the fan and I'm sold.
  I can tell a lot of thought and love has been put into the world building and setting up on the sorry. I love that we're giving insight into very meaningful characters in such a chap span of time and the action is being introduced at a real steady pace.
  In relation to characters, Salamander especially, it may just be me but I feel her time on was just too short and I want to see more of her in the future. Jonas as well because I was really hoping for this three to be like the main trio.
  I love the writer's style, it's simple, no info dumps and not overly descriptive in a way that drags the writer away from the story to admire something else.
  Grammar? Chef's kiss! No errors what so ever and I'm sure a lot of editing has gone into that to make for smooth reading a ND a pleasant experience.
  This story is a fine piece of work that I just can't wait to get back into in my free time and I'd encourage anyone hesitant to try it out.
  Sde note, the cover is lit!
