Description

There are many worlds in the cosmos. Many of them have rules and laws that are utterly alien to the world that we know. Most never leave the world they were born into, never even know or suspect that other worlds even exist. Their souls simply go through the cycle of reincarnation again and again, always forgetting their past lives, and living as they please. But some few are given the gift of Transfering after death, to live their next life in a different world, with memories of their past lives to enrich the world they go to with new concepts and new ideas, and bringing back those same from the world they visited when it is time for their next cycle in their old world.

A young woman suffers a tragic fate, and is granted the ability to Transfer. She is reincarnated into a new world, full of monsters and magic, things that would be mere myths and legends to her in her old life. This time, she promises, will be different. She doesn't have to be weak here. She doesn't have to be a victim. She can be strong, and no one will ever control her again!

Like the title says, it makes you Believe the story. The character building, the scenery, the battles, they all weave together to make a tale you feel comfortable in immersing yourself. I read the story for the promise of the “villain lead” and I could still cheer for them after everything.

Things have changed and the story is very different now. Firstly I am no longer worried that this story will turn into a harem type because the author has stated it isn't so. The author also said that this story would be along similar lines of how you would do a campaign in a D&D game. So this is awesome news for me. I am also loving the characters and how the MC is dealing with each situation the MC crosses. I also still love the fact that their arn't any secrets really and that how you see Gods and Goddesses are vastly different in this world. Things are about to get really interesting!

Not a bad start, my only complaint is over-use of text boxes for dice rolls. I get the premise, as trying to calculate damage like a table-top RPG player/gamemaster would, but maybe a little less dice roll and more just announcing the damage (ie "Slashes for 15" instead of 1d20+8 = 15).
All in all, like the story so far, and cant wait for new chapters.

I have read up till chapter 27 and overall it seems to be pretty good fantasy, gamelit, isekai novel so fand manages to make itself stand apart despite the very cliche genre
My main issues are with the authors style of writing because the way the system is writen is quiet confusing I would prefer the author to try simplifying it a bit more. For the authors reference two novels that I hink not only have very good system elements, but are also very good overall are: The Primal Hunter & Defiance of the Fall. Another issue with the sytle is that the author likes keep track of all the damage number for every attack and for me this dirupts my sense of immersion with the fight scene and also becomes repetitive and boring.
For the character so far she seems great nothing to outlandish, excessive or illogical about her behaviour thus far. In addition there are feature to the other MC's and other characters. The MC appears to be slightly older than the typical highschooler isekai, she is not an actual highschooler, she is female and she is not some downtrodden geek. This serves to increase the appeal be giving regular readers of these kinds of novels something new to look forward to that gives us the rush of a new experience and takes away the boring repetitiveness of some of the copy and paste novels. also personally this more unique feature are like a breath of fresh after been stuck in a room and breathing that rooms air for years on end. Then the sun god paladin she meets also deviate from the typical isekai zealote because he and his god are relatively tolerant which unlike the typical isekai's tendency to quickly put the MC into conflict with a zealot. Despite my completely positive impression of the characters I only gave four stars, because I want to see more character, more of the detail of the current characters that the author reveals as well as as how the author develops the characters before I give a full review on them.
Then for the story follows the typical ise

I find the book enjoyable, the writing and grammar I can't really judge on, but in my opinion, it's sulperb. It follows a common genre, with a lot of recognisable traits in it, but it's different enough that you can't predict exactly what's going to happen. There aren't any stupid plot twists, and the main character/characters are enjoyable, they're not deep, and they don't have a backstory, at least not yet, but they're not generic, they're not boring, and they're not some idealistic goody two shoes. The settings are not bad, but not good either, they're also not prevalent so far, so it doesn't really matter. The blue boxes in between fight scenes us what seems to bug most people, but it's easy to ignore if you don't want to read it. Compared to the many other stories I've read, this one is better than most overall.
If you like a strong mc, action and litrpg novels, I'd definitely recommend this.

melinda is a great character she is independent and fierce I adore what you are doing with the story and I am very glad that even though this is reincarnation based you didn’t spend too much time as her as a kid just a nice overview. The world so far is interesting and I like the barbarian view point. I can’t wait to go on further journeys with her.

I like the concept of the plot/story but I feel the use of dice rolls, like in DnD games, for every action against/involving others, especially in battles, (as part of the world law/rules) to take away from the storyline and style. It breaks or dillutes my immersion and passion of the story.
My favourite part so far is the plot/scenario surrounding chapters 11-14!
I am optimistic and hoping for it to improve in later chapters either by correcting the dice rolling issue or improving the non-battle related plots/content so that we're focusing on the MC's political, social, or strateigic manueverings so that her Dominance is determined without use of a dice roll. Where it's all more focused on the content and planning than in battle! (Like in my stated favorite chapter!)

I had no real issue with the blue boxes, the roles and tabletop world. But if a player choose chaotic evil and was so rule abiding to her tribe after she unlocked I would have to use the DM hammer with punishments. Yea she followed the rules of her tribe. She did quite a bit that was really against her interest. Through most arcs I was looking for -tends to have no respect for rules, other people's lives, or anything but their own desires, which are typically selfish and cruel. But she wasn’t disregarding all laws especially with the fist makes the laws mentality in the world. She wanted to save many of the repressed; not ignore lives. Her kingdoms laws were in no way self-serving, selfish nor cruel in the frame of this world. She wasn't anywhere near as selfish as should have been.
The very heavy repeating rape/incest theme got pretty annoying and it was hard to finish the novel. If there were more D&D style novels I would have dropped this.
The grammar was great and the style fit but the prologue was a bit too much spoilers.

I personally would do without that prologue, it detracts from the story. Abother problem is, when I read the combats the blue boxes make it hard to immerse and sometimes even read in sone coherent way. I believe if the boxes were some neutral color grey white text so they don't stud that much from the page it would be much better.

I've read up to chapter 16 to see what one of the reviews was on about.
It's very difficult to write a review on this that doesn't sound like I'm insulting the author but honestly just get rid of the prologue. It instantly removes any and all expectations of anything of substance from basically any woman who reads this expecting an actual female protagonist and not this honestly gross attempt at one.
If rewritten without the sexual abuse+torture = reason to want to be independent and strong.
Oh and the whole "I can't have babies" thing was the cherry on top of how dreadful the prologue was to read.
The rest of the story is honestly not that bad, if a bit standard for the genre. If she stood on her own instead of this awful, contrived and frankly, pointless backstory, then that would honestly put it in much better spot and the story itself wouldn't be weighed down by it.
I'm doing my best to not be rude here, but the whole "rape/infertility=determined woman" thing is so prevalent and dumb that it's almost become a troupe of it's own that makes no sense to literally any woman on this planet.
