A dryad. She's fiercely protective of her forest, and her people -- her people being defined as people who help her protect her forest.
The story is going well for now. I hope it doesn't stay unfinished. Instead of female characters who enter into relationships and immediately appear as characters that change specifically for MC because everyone is cold MC, this background is designed in a way that does not disrupt the beautiful story flow and logic.
The rest may contain spoilers within my personal thoughts that could develop.
If the main character can really trust his neighbors and friends he bought weapons from, he can call them to be his partners in his house, and if they can get financial help in his home world and a class in the other world, they can help in the other world.

This story is amazing! The characters are all unique and interesting. The drama between some of the characters is simply delicious. It's funny as hell. Totally cute too. I often find myself skipping explicit scenes but they are kept short and sweet in this story and I found them to be interesting and worth reading.

I wast expecting smut and this story delivers. It's a story too with vivid characters. No real plot; more of a crisis-of-the-day but that's a good thing. Problems are dealt with swiftly so the story can get back to being a light hearted s*x comedy.
There's a looming threat (no spoiler) but no ticking-clock. It's from the mundane world and the answer is: kick the can down the road forever. Unfortunately that is the most realistic way to deal with IRL world ending threats. I'm too dumb to understand pacing and various other subtle ways a story is told so I can't articulate how well that's going. The world building unfolds as needed instead of boring info-dumps. I know that makes me a heretic because "fantasy genre needs endless lore. MOAR LORE!"
I enjoy this story this story enough to look forward to individual chapters which is better than most of web novels I try. Like a story (I won't name) is enjoyable as a binge reader but one chapter at a time it falls short.

Mixed feelings about this isekai romp. It's technically well written and certainly above average for this website, and while some of the character development is nice, the world building falls short.
It's not even that cliche, plenty of somewhat original takes on old formulas in this story, which I like but at the same time the denizens of the other world are caricatures and hard to take seriously. I mean, sure, it's meant to be fun and not that deep, but it's like seeing the foundations of a great castle without it ever getting built.
Instead we get more layers of caricatures so there's this dissonance between the main character who is pretty fleshed out and authentic feeling and these parodies they interact with in the other world, who are as deep as a puddle.

I’m loving it! The characters are all very unique, and MC clearly distinguished from the bland protagonists of so many stories. I’m also a big fan of the gentle introduction to the world of Amaranth. It’s more of a personal preference, but it’s nice that things are low-stakes at first. The pacing is excellent.
