  This story centers around a girl who is very special.  She learns the unlearnable, she masters the ancient magics.  This story is written well and believable.  What would you do if you learned something forbidden?
  The only drawback is the pacing seems to jump a bit, but there was a lot of world building needed to see this world in all its glory.  As stories go this one entertains me well.

  I really enjoyed this story, it has an interesting magic system and the mc is pretty cool. Also the caste based society seems like it will have an interesting plot in the future. I like the archeologist backstory of the mc as well. The mysterious ruins are a pretty cool plot point as well. Overall I really like this story.

  I actually like how it starts off as her being a baby. She has all the mental factualities of her old 24 year old self and rapidly increases levels and stats like nobody else in the world. The pace of progression is decent and story overall is wonderful. The world itself is rather bleak, even more for a woman. I can't wait to see where this story leads.

  The magic system is pretty interesting and the MC is likeable as well as making fairly believable choices. The time skips for growing up are handled well. I will definitely keep reading this fiction. There's a feature amount of mystery as to magic and nobles etc. Grammar and general writing style are very good.

  A young woman with interests in archaeology and linguistics gets reincarnated as a baby to parents who are archaeological linguists!
  The story is a fun little bit.  Pretty standard reincarnated as a baby, and working out the LitRPG system as a baby, and hiding as a baby. Then as a child.
  The worldbuilding is a trip.  There's the hinted at fascination with color and it gets pretty deep.  But on top of that, the social structure is so odd.  Like... centralized economic planning, with little to no market (let alone free market).  It's a bundle of fresh air, at least until the protagonist leaves that country. I'd say that we get to experience another new culture, but that doesn't actually happen for spoilers.
  The grammar and style were a little rough in the first few chapters, but cleaned up later. That said, it is at a fairly basic reading level; nothing fancy or too advanced. A fair bit of the dialogue seems fairly stilted though, which is a shame.
  The plot is... I don't know if there's a plot yet.  It's pretty slice of lifey right now. As noted above, eventually the protagonist leaves their own country. At that point, it's in a bit of a weird spiral, where it both is slice of life-y, and like even less plot or story than before. I thought that would clear up soon, but no it hasn't.  Some of the plot seems a little forced too.
  The characters are serviceable.

  The author keeps a very dry, all knowing narrator based tone that makes me, as a reader, feel totally uninvolved.
  The protagonist's feeling never get explored in any depth and thus I can't empathize with her and feel detached.
  The reading experience was like me taking the notes from my calendar and connecting it to sentences. It does not make a lively story just by piling together events into paragraphs.
  Style wise this is more like a very detailed biography than a fantasy novel.
  There are hardly any dialogs or character interactions. Sure, the reason for this might be that there isn't much to talk about as a baby. But dialogs and character interactions bring life to a story. There hardly is any in this one. It's just... a lot of dry information from the all knowing narrator on top of each other.
  A fix to this might be to explore Violets feelings a little more. She never thought seriously about her old family or laughed honestly with her new one. She just feels lifeless to me. A manipulating and grinding machine.
  The protagonist has no motivation apart from learning a new language and leveling. She does not even have a reason for those except not getting bored.
  There is severe lack of conflict - inner and outer - in the first 15 chapters. Conflict drives the story and gives motivation for the protagonist. We have none and that's why the story feels stale and Violet feels unmotivated.
  Also, the first chapter where her family died just felt like a very dry 'and then the plane crashed and I got reborn' to me. No, I don't feel bad about spoilering the first chapter.
  So in conclusion:
  - The style is dry with perspective switching between 3rd and 1st person
  -Little to no dialogue/inner monolgue, just a lot of information from mr. narrator.
  - Lack of motivation and conflict

  Have you ever woke up one after day hitting 30 and realized you spent most of your life waiting around for "the life" to actually start? In school, you thought "I will graduate first and then...", in colledge you thought "I will get my diploma and then...", then working a job 9 to 5 you thought: "I will get this promotion and then..."...
  Well, if you haven't, you can try this book and get the feeling easily.
  This whole book is about the main character honing her skills, training her magic and growing up. Sure, she has a lot of literal growing to do, being transmigrated into an infant, but do we need to follow her each step of the way, week by week, year by year? The first handful of the chapters are fine and satisfactory to get you into the setting and general situation around her, but then its just tedium. Yey, we get skill X to value Z in the latest update, big celebration!
  Normally, litRPG and training montages are tools to prepare for the adventure, for the actual story. This book, however, feeds you occasional tidbit of the worldbuilding only to justify another session of grinding.
  And don't get me wrong, it makes perfect sense from the point of view of the protagonist, to spend as much time possible in safe-ish environment building her foundations, getting skills up and so on. I'd do the same in her place. What doesn't make sense is writing a book solely around it.
  Another big downside of the story is how low "the stakes" are. There's no tension. And of course, not every book requires constant threat level, emergency and disaster on every corner, but in this book in particular everything is so chill 99% of the time, it should have a "slice of life" tag.
  I am happy for Violet to have a safe and fulfilling childhood, sure, but there's only so much interest in watching how grass grows taller and her status sheet numbers go up.
  In a few (later in the novel) moments when something exciting and dangerous happens, it is resolved back to normalcy a chapter or two late

  Fair warning, this review will contain some (light) spoilers.
  So, Violet Reborn has some good points, some bad. I think there are a lot of very interesting ideas with the worldbuilding and the magic system, but overall there is WAY too much deus ex machina for me. I think the most eggregious points for me were when the protagonist unlocked magic through literal indecision, and when she was abducted by a giant bird - that turned out to be a charming old lady willing to teach magic and that had access to the gimmick she needed to learn new spells and had just lost access to. There is also a lot of devotion towards spells and so on that the protagonist probably doesn't actually need at this point, and most of her spells so far have been used for little other than 'leveling them up'.

  ★★ 1.5

  The story is incredibly hard to read with all the grammar errors, and it feels clunky with all of the unnecessary details on the main character's old life. There also isn't enough context for what is happening in the beginning of the story, and I see loads of run on sentences. I think the story has potential and is an interesting idea, but as of right now it's impossible to understand and read.

  I loved the characters and the story even if you claimed you had no direction. The world and character development was wonderful. You even had started to link in the Dominion to the current events with the assassination attempts that brought one of her "friends" back into the picture. I would have loved to see her take control of some of the other operable sites of ancient magic in preparation to help defend against the Dominion. You had well developing characters, 2 perfectly good enemy nations, and an interesting magic system. I really wanted to know what happened to her good friend since she had to leave him behind.  It's a shame you are dropping this after 60 chapters. As such my rating is my disapointment in this. I will not be reading your other stories though as I don't want to have more dissapointment as authors who drop a story once are prone to do it many a times.. I wish you the best...
