Transported into a world where just about anybody can receive the prestigious title of Mage, Morgana is equally baffled and outraged. She spent the better part of twenty-two years holed up in alcoves, poring over spell formulae and memorizing the forty-three Primary Astolian Paradigms, all for the opportunity to study at the Ivory Institute and gain access to those primordial, inscrutable powers. And here, they're dropped into people's laps? Ridiculous.
Morgana doesn't know how she's arrived here, why everyone is so bone-headedly ignorant to the fundamentals of magic, and especially what this strange 'System' is, coddling even 'archmages' with the simplest of spell constructions, but she's going to find out.
In the meantime, there's plenty of fascinating things to study. Dungeons, artifacts, classes, skills, and spells—all obviously created by some Grand Architect using a language that, apparently, only Morgana is familiar with. Beyond gaining insights into the arcane, which she's devoted her life to decoding, there might be something incredible to glean inside all these expertly hidden mechanisms.
Something bigger than she could imagine.
Good day,
I read the story on Royal Road since it was there where I found it first, but since I am more active on Scribble hub, I decided to write a review here.
I enjoyed your story, really! It is outside of my comfort zone since this is literally the only type of litRPG literature I am able to take in positively. It is not oversimplified, even with the system's presence. Meaning, instead of the character personalities, the system seems to only simplify the magic system and doesn't even show them the stats by that I mean intellect, wisdom... ect. For which I am grateful.
There are no stupidly overpowered characters, or unreasonably arrogant idiots either.
The story doesn't cut corners. The main character acts believable enough. I also like the guild, Rune is such an interesting side character. I really enjoyed her perspective on the matter. It is a general mistake to rush the writing of the side characters. It's good to see that wasn't the case here.
The only thing I found a bit strange that she is more interested in the system then in the question how she got there in the first place, yet again, she didn't really have that much free time to wonder the subject and it's just my opinion and probably she doesn't have anything to go by on that subject.
Thank you for the experience,
I wish you a good day.

I quite enjoyed it; I found it to be an idea that, despite being somewhat overused, brought in interesting new elements, giving a good refresh to the overall scene. Though, yes, it remains an isekai LITRPG with an OP protagonist, the story progresses relatively slowly, but not too much, as the events so far are advancing our view of the world and the protagonist while telling the story without stopping several chapters for strange expository explanations. If you enjoy the fantasy LITRPG theme, I recommend taking a look, you might be surprised

It had some promise at the beginning despite the huge logic holes but I kept on reading till chapter 33.
Now on chapter 33 I am done with the novel. It just isn't good or I am not it's targeted audience, which kind of feels discriminating to be honest.
The novel: The characters are unintuitive and besides the MC and FL are not worth noting as they only serve to glorify them for every nonsensical and violent action. "Consequences" for their actions? Nope, not present here. Just some girls who are "overpowered" and "privileged", so they get away with everything. And everything and everyone else are just toys to be used and thrown away. ≪-- This alone was a breaking point for me. I do not care much for stories with such "taste", therefor I do not like to read stories about self-satisfied ignorant people who treat others worse than garbage.
Everyone can diced for him-/herself, but I definitly am not going to recommend this novel.

Very good novel (so far). Author has a good understanding of pacing and hooks you well in the first chapter. Characters have distinct personalities and the dialogue is good, no problems with grammar or style. As someone who's been sick of run of the mill litrpgs for years now, the central idea of this story - deconstructing the litrpg - is very interesting. I highly recommend this novel.

I like this very much! Fantasy with a magic and levelling system is my personal favorite. It is a novel concept as magic is apparently not generated by the body but by collecting it through rituals in her original world - normally one would expect something like mana circles around the heart, storing mana in the blood cycle or having a mana organ. I look forward to see where this is going, I also like that you left yourself a backdoor to avoid problems with this magic mechanic by having a new system that provides a mana pool. Great to see a magic system that works by formulas and not by intuitively shaping mana or screaming FIRE BALL.
Ok, things a looking great, a few comments/points I am concerned about:- New world, new concepts, etc. and the way of aquiring them is good - but don't overuse it. While reading I sometimes thought that things like "argh, how does that even work", "where are the formulas" and "right... you come from the moon or something" (not exactly but the feeling) happen quite frequently.- The title of the novel is currently quite... prophetic. Are there raws/further chapters that I am not aware of? I guess not and it is planned for the future. Anyway, I hope it does not go immediately "Ding, you have aquired a cheat, you can now rule the world through the system" - that would be anticlimatic.- Similarly, why are there some tags that are currently not being used? Fishing for new readers? I understand most of them, even Drama could be an interpretation for "damn transported into new world and almost dying in prison to be... executed?" That one's pretty open btw, we currently don't know. What I also miss is an information, see next point. But I don't understand tags Romance and Girls Love, that has not happened and I don't exactly look forward to the realization of girls love tbh. But we'll see how you'll do that, it might be good.- Tag says transported to another world, novel does not say anything, except if I missed it. That does not entirely make sense though... why would she then be in prison? Being unconscious in the street? The alternative is reincarnation/soul transportation which makes more sense if the original owner of the body has a history in this world.
