Synopsis

A university student is stuck working on coursework late into the night due to some unfortunate circumstances. After reflecting on the choices she has made so far in her life and looking forward to what she can do once she is finally able to really get her life going, she starts to make her way home.

Unfortunately for her, that life is abruptly cut short, and she finds herself in a new world as a new person, one with a fluffy tail at that. She must come to grips with her new reality, no matter how bad it may seem. Luckily, a clumsy kitsune goddess seems to be looking out for her.

This little kitsune will go on a journey to improve herself as she learns more about the world she now lives in, struggles through romance, and puts her life together.

    Status: chapter 16 – one step at a...

    The story of an isekaied college student to a fantasy world slum except.... past life memories are completely wiped leaving us with a white haired fox girl who's first moments of life is the greeting of pure malice, hate and discrimination for years until she finds decent people.

    In a sense the story is like a darker version of "the weakest tamer is picking up trash in another world" albeit a tiny bit more depressing at the start so far the story is getting a bit lighter though..

    If you enjoy a fluff and semi dark themed story this is perfect for you

    Status: chapter 41 – that’s what i...

    Its a good isekai about a college kid getting isekaied. Although that pretty much doesn't factor into the story, she comes into the world with no memories. Is a wholesome slice of life/healing story. Nothing groundbreaking but I'll still be here for updates. MC learning to trust her found family is cute and the other characters get enough screen time to be interesting.

    This isn't a complain section, just some things potential readers might want to take note of:A: There aren't too many characters. Around 5/6 named by Ch41 and 2 unnamed that have shown up more than once.B: There isn't that much plot progression but more so personality progression. There aren't long explanations about how magic or XYZ works, it more focused on characters. Overall, good read. Keep cooking author.

    Status: chapter 94 – a world of mana

    The MC is a little slow in understanding the concept of trust, it is taking her longer than it would a stray dog or wild bird, but there is growth. Other than that, it's a slow-paced isekai with an enjoyable story written very well.

    Some people dislike their shyness because it seems unreasonable, but they likely don't understand how repeated fear/harm/stress can compound on a naturally timid person. No OP protagonist or no grand quest leave it as a tame, though occasionally cruel, read.

    Status: chapter 57 – another divine gift

    I’m not the best with words, but this story really left an impression on me. It begins with a dark period, exploring themes like depression and self-doubt in a way that feels brutally honest and heartfelt. As the story progresses, it gradually shifts toward a more positive tone, showing how healing, growth, and even happiness can blossom over time.

    While there is some romance, the relationship is portrayed as sweet and wholesome rather than intense. What stood out to me the most was how the story offered new perspectives on depression—ones I hadn’t considered before—and, quite frankly, I found that comforting.

    If you're looking for a fast-paced, action-heavy dark fantasy full of spellcasting, this probably won’t offer what you're after. But if you’re interested in an emotional journey with psychological depth and heart, I’d certainly recommend giving it a try.

    It's just terrible from the very beginning. I do not know what the next plot is or if there is one at all, but the world and characters here are terrible. Let's start with the useless gods who can't do anything with their religion and followers. Just imagine: people ignore their GOD, and this GOD just lets them do it. Is it funny? Further is better. This god apologizes to MS for seven years of suffering, saying that he did nothing because his popularity would fall there. (In fact, he's just worthless, and if he was running his religion, it couldn't have come to that, it's nonsense.) Next, our main character. He's not the worst, he's just no good, he hasn't developed anywhere in seven years, he's just static, adrift and depressed. She doesn't even have emotions. She just feels permanently sorry for herself, she has no other emotions. Hell, not even hatred or anger towards the people who destroyed her. She didn't even try to get out of her situation in any way, to do something. It's just pathetic. If it were possible, I would give a negative rating. Unfortunately, they don't give you less than one.

    Status: chapter 67 – stop talking over m-

    Rarely have I seen a work of fiction derail this hard. The start was very promising, with solid writing, interesting ideas, and compelling characters. Then we randomly get is what is truly one of the most insane shifts I've ever had the misfortune to read. It's like instantly switching from Yuru Camp to the most graphic scenes of body horror from Warhammer 40k with zero warning.

    I have no insight into the author's intentions: this could have been planned from the start, for all I know. However, even if that is the case, this is an abysmal failure of narrative design. Not only was there no foreshadowing or any other indication for the coming escalation, everything about the tone, style, and overall plot very much promised something entirely different.

    Going from a grounded, personal story, where the stakes are so low they might as well not exist, with functionally no magic or other powers to speak of, focusing on characterisation and the protagonist's deeply internal psychological journey, to suddenly revealing that

    Spoiler

    there is a capital-E Evil eldritch horror villain behind the events that will need to be permanently defeated unless the ending is going to be some variation of "and then everyone dies and everything remains awful forever, under the thrall of a being of pure malice"

    [collapse]
    is a hell of a choice.

    I can only urge everyone to avoid this, unless you specifically enjoy getting the rug pulled out from under you in a particularly violent fashion, and you can read over sixty chapters without actually getting invested in the story that is apparently being told, merely waiting for the "real" plot to kick in.
