I would do anything to heal my granddaughter, including selling my soul. So, when a woman professing herself to be a fallen goddess appears promising to offer that exact deal to me, I ultimately accept despite my misgivings.
The woman tells me I have accidentally re-discovered a special meditation technique known as "Key to the Void." A powerful meditation capable of opening the barrier that separates the world from the void and accessing power from outside the world. But, in death, it can even allow souls to pass into the void, and she wishes to escape this world and needs me to open the way for her.
However, when my soul reincarnates into the other world, I discover several things have gone wrong. Me and her were not the only souls to cross over. There were several other former humans who were reborn here. But, more disturbingly, it seems there is also an earth-born demon here. What's more, the fallen goddess who hitched a ride with me was reborn as my twin sister.
--------------------------------------------------------------
This is a hard reboot of my previous series, "Second Life as the Sister of a Goddess." You will notice some fairly big changes to this version right from the very beginning. Readers of my previous series should see the list of changes in the forward chapter (of which the name change from Aerien and Gaerien is just the beginning.) Those who have never encountered my previous series can feel free to skip the forward.
I am now going to begin uploading this series to other platforms, including Royal Road as of 4/16/21.

I have to say that titles make me interested in a story, and Key to the Void is far more interesting of a title than what it previously was. Before your rewrite I would not have even given your story a second glance, but now I find myself intrigued. Titles are our first introduction to an author's work, and so many webnovel authors don't realize this affects their stories perception; often in negative ways. Kudos to you author.

This is the author's rewrite of reincarnated as the goddess's sister. This time round the story is much better paced, after 18 chapters we are on the same level as chapter 40 of the orginal. With just as much story told. Definately woth the read.

I made it to the end so that says that this is good. This novel has some of the most detailed world building of anything on this site. The characters are all very well described and very easy to identify. I never found myself getting confused about who is who or what is going on.
The bad?
I think the number one problem with this is over explaining things. A fight where one elf gets shot with arrows in the dark and runs to a tree. Expect that to take several chapters. There are other jarring transitions where a chapter ends right in the middle of the action. Instead of continuing where the action left off things start with several paragraphs of explaining mediation techniques. It is jarring and when I came across this a few times I considered dropping it more than once.
The last thing that I dislike is the divine-vision-get-ganked mechanic. The way that the enemy knows everything about the MC, and can invade her dreams at will is skirting concepts like loss of agency. Luckily, this only happens with Asa sleeps which she doesn't have to usually.... oh wait... no it can smack her out of the blue with no way to defend herself while awake too. This might not bug other readers but it is a pet peeve of mine. It is like having an antagonist who is an earth quake, or a tidal wave; only it is worse because forces of natures don't single someone out.
Overall though I believe the good outweighs the bad or I would have dropped it well before chapter 120. I skipped any chapter labeled lore and never got confused.
