Vivienne has poured so many hours into the massively popular VRMMO The Seven Cataclysms that she has more of a life inside the game than out. It's a fitting irony, then, when one day she wakes in the body of her maxed-out demon-mage 'Vivisari'—and finds that now, the game really is her life.

But the world of Seven Cataclysms isn't what she remembers. A hundred years have passed since the game's concluding events, and Vivisari is a hero of myth thought long dead. As she meets old and new faces in this familiar-yet-not world—casting spells of mass destruction and slowly reforming the scattered-to-the-wind remnants of her Guild—she starts to wonder if she was sent here with a purpose.

Rumors of a sequel had been circulating just before her unbelievable reincarnation. Did she, perhaps, need to fear an impending Eighth Cataclysm?

If so, it's a good thing she has firepower in spades.

It's a beautiful thing to feel dread and despair at reaching the end of the currently available material of an exceedingly good story.

I believe if the writing and story continue to be of the same quality as the previous twenty-seven chapters, this will be an exceedingly fine story to reread when I feel that Fantasy itch.

Wordflow is amazing, grammar is quite good, and story and execution are excellent. A rather refreshing back-to-basics Semi-Lit-RPG with a female protagonist who knows she's a bit of an oddball and needs something to keep her in check.

Overall, a really good read if the quality of writing keeps as it is.

So far a very well written story, it feels fresh and a new to the "Reincarnated into a videogame world" genre. Kinda reminds me of Overlord, but with a female lead without a literal army of servants to serve her (up to chapter 3) Keep up the good work and I'm excited to see where this story leads :)

I think there's two big things that play into how well an overpowered protagonist works in a story: their limits, and their personality.

Vivienne wakes up as her MMO character Vivisari Vexaria, a wizard who can cast legendary magic in an eyeblink, create whole new legendary magics on a whim, who can read the runes of enchantments like they are writing, who can break reality. She's also just one lady in just one place at a time, who can move fast but not infinitely fast, and who needs to actually look and investigate if she wants to learn what's going on.

Separately: Vivienne is an MMO nerd. She loves magic because she's a nerd and magic is the coolest thing (objectively correct). She's a total shut-in who would rather spend her time grinding than talk to strangers. She's a polite person within her limits, but will absolutely use her incredible magical powers to teleport away from an unwanted conversation. She's an impulsive gremlin who acts without thinking things through when left unsupervised. And she means well.

That last bit is the most important, I think. Vivi has phenomenal power, and she uses it to protect people and to uplift the worthy.

Also, she's far from the only cool character, the setting is familiar but coherent, the magic system is neat, and there's already big mysteries to unfold. We're excited.

Honestly, I've seen the game to world premise before, seen the socially awkward MC before, seen the overpowered MC before. Doesn't matter, this story is just fun. The writing seems good to me, and the plot is good so far. I especially like the world building, and the MC's relationship to the world in it's current state, shades of Frieren in some ways. I also liked the incident with the fireworks spell, as it really showed that yes the MC is socially awkward but also likes fun, and the dangers of choices made after a drink or three.

This story is great, truly great. Great characters, great plot, great grammar. Unfortunately it's also great in not coming to the bloody point. Everyone talks like they are sitting down for a nice, relaxing tea, even during fight scenes or otherwise emergent situations. Which leads to a glacial or even tectonic pacing. I'm writing this at chapter 70. The plot at chapter 70 is - cheritably - equal to a normal chapter 35. It's nevertheless Great, just not as much as it could be.

Very, very good start. I was only able to read to ch 12, as that was the max released, but the pacing is quite good, interactions and reasonings are thought out, and there are actual characterization and humanization you may not expect from an OP character story. &Nbsp;Overall, I’m eagerly awaiting more

I am a sucker for the socially inept main characters. It often leads to funny situations. Also a good way for even an overpowered character to still have screw ups or things not turning out as expected.

As long as you are continuing to have fun with it I hope you keep writing!

Fantastic grammar, spelling and structure. Fascinating world. Intriguing magic. Interesting overarching plot.

There's a lot to like in the story, but the central premise is the comedy of everyone being shocked, awed and in desbelief about the MC. It feels like 80% of the writing is just people reacting to her existence... poorly. No one in the world seems to be able to just treat a person as a person, ignoring their fame and power. It's genuinely fun and hilarious for awhile, but after 300k words it's dreadfully overdone. The horse is rotting and pulverized.

Also, minor gripe about how the MCs character is basically just Frieren, if she were a demon. Maybe that's a joke I'm not getting?

All in all, worth checking out to see if you enjoy the style, but I firmly believe we have way too much of a good thing.

Plot is quite nice, character building is entertaining and they have their depth.

The best part for me for now is the logic in book, its consistent and possible, I hate book with loopholes or changing things on a whim of the author, and for now its all done beautifully here, love it.

Only downside is, there is nothing much done in chapter, they talk, they describe, but a chapter contain one event or even half, like booking a room in the inn, and that's it, really there should be more to the chapter than over described everything to not move plot to fast.

This is one of the best SH novels I have read. Its well written, paced very nice, and has actual themes contained within the story.

Without going into spoilers, I would like to take the time to remind people to please read more into what the author is trying to say. Obtaining more power isn't the point of the story, its about helping others that need help and the fact that all life has inherent value and should be cherished as such.
