It begins as a usual isekai story.
No, wait. It`s worse. It's otome isekai. And I`m the villain.
Of course, there must be some kind of cheat to make up for it. It's that kind of story.
And my cheat is... being a shoggoth. Which apparently includes being a genius with setting up all sorts of production. Because "engineered to be universal labor" backstory for that race, I surmise.
So... Screw it, full steam ahead. Let's see what I can make out of this world and it's ikebana-based magic.
oof a slave race in the lovecraftian universe vs normal mortals who will win? Obviously the slave race, Shoggoth the descriptions of shoggoths come from the above-quoted story. In it, Lovecraft describes them as massive amoeba-like creatures made out of iridescent black slime, with multiple eyes "floating" on the surface. They are "protoplasmic", lacking any default body shape and instead being able to form limbs and organs at will. A typical shoggoth measures 15 feet across when a sphere, though the story mentions the existence of others of much greater size. Being amorphous, shoggoths can take on any shape needed, making them very versatile within aquatic environments. And the looks from the MC and the regular Shoggoth are vastly different maybe because each time I imagine an lovecraftian horror are horrible demons from hell with many bleeding eyes, mouths that na seemingly devour you alive, and tentacles, alot of tentacles. Now that I wrote here makes me feel disqusted somehow?

Amazing story, love it to death I do.
Great worldbuilding, I can see that a lot of thought, time & effort went into bringing this world to life.
Nice references, although I don't get all of them right away, I believe all of yours have been well executed & well implemented, and it's always nice when I get the reference right off the bat.
Okay grammar & writing, I've noticed quite a few times where you have been missing words like 'a' & 'the' when referring to proper nouns & even just when referring to things in general, I've also noticed a number of mistakes when it comes to messing up the order of 'is' & 'it', occasionally even using 'it's' when it should have instead be 'is it', thankfully the number of times I've noticed you making mistakes with forgetting spaces & turning 'of' into 'or' & whatnot are relatively uncommon, though there are examples of it.
Overall? I think this is a great work & I wish you the best of luck in continuing it & any other project you might want to work on. (✿◠‿◠)

Overall it's a pretty good story classic op character with it's own unique twist. Unfortunately I'll have to stop because of some personal issues with the story that most might find unimportant.
It contains the characters obtaining smoking devices which is a pet peeve of mine.
Unless you're like me and something as unimportant as that makes you feel upset, then I highly recommend this unique take on a classic otome game transmigration story.

This is absolutely my favorite novel on this site and is tied with Blue Core, Tales of Destiny, and Beware of Chicken as the best current web novels I've seen. It's written basically as the MC's internal thought processes, so if you want quick worldbuilding you should read the authors comments on each chapter because it may be a while into the story before the MC will actually think about some basic details you might be curious of.

Excellent. This author has a great sense of humor. Good storytelling. Interesting plot. A very good mix of realistic and magic-is-magic. Keeps the plot going while not getting bogged down in the dry detail. Touches on both the good and bad sided of people and the appropriate response to either. And who doesn't love a badass OP lead?

I don't normally write a review but here it is.
A very good book that is both rather creative and has me looking up the occasional word or fact they present. The world development doesn't seem rushed but also doesn't drone on.
My only major complaint is the different languages that need us to open a tiny note to get the translation. While in and of itself a novel and impressive story style its rather harsh on those reading on their phones and have fat fingers. Again not a big deal on all of the story so far except the Russian side story where if you miss click it closes all open notes and puts you, who knows where in a chapter full of a different language. Maybe consider putting the translated version of the chapter on a note at the top for those who are like me and are uncoordinated ham-fists?

There are countless iskekai stories out there but only a handful of them are both interesting and feel like they were not written by children. This is definitely one of them. I like the MC, I like the story, I like the side characters. Although, I don't think there was a peoper explanation why the MC is actually a Shoggoth, or I missed it.

this stories is seriously more addicting than the smoking problem I had a few years back
the next part I belive having a little spoiler in it but I believe it give a good understanding if you will like it or not
I am going to say a few thing I do not like but that dose not mean I dislike it just stand out more cause the rest is so good
use of different language this just trow the immersion of hard for me switching it from one to the other for showing some people may like it but to me its just painful
about every bad guy is just so incredible stupid I think this is on purpose as any smart person would never cause a problem for MC and a lack of education however its not fun to read abut them for me
I find it quite hard to picture how anything lock like in this world including her harem how a city lock like the only thing I can properly picture is the dwarfs and their building city
sometimes its just to much talking with out anything happening for my taste at least
now a few god thing that I like
MC she clearly the best thing about this novel she smart we are not only told she is we see how she is smart how she plan to do political stuff she also follow human morals but she also no doubt not human internally as she is not afraid on killing\eating humans if they threaten anything close to her and often see how she struggle with acting like a human and lose a bit of control on that part when stressed
I may not remember how any one lock like but I clearly recognize the personality from every important character the king the prince one she was supposed to marry all the harem members and multiple other
world building again I might not remember how thing lock I think its a map somewhere but do not remember where but from a political perspective I have a very good understanding compared to anything else I read
4 star is probably more correct but as I like this more I give 5 star

I started reading it because it looked interesting enough and I was bored. I continued reading because it was interesting and funny. I'm simple.
