When my curiosity got the better of me in the afterlife, I ended up reincarnating with several things I wasn't supposed to have, like my memories. But I got a second chance at life, and I wasn't going to waste it. Making a nice home in a dungeon, adopting an abandoned girl as my little sister, for someone who died alone, poor, and full of stress, I had everything I wanted and all the stuff I hated were gone.
But while my back was turned, immigrants and refuges?! Land management and negotiations?! Why are you making a country in my backyard?! And everyone wants me to be the leader?! And while I desperately tried to get peace and happiness to my new life, now someone wants my admin powers?!
the arcs get better, so q00u review is way out of date, just simply get past the ch 34 arc and it gets back to the amazing story it is eventually
Alica comes back, a tough battle occurs for Scarlet (the person she fights is like a high level boss), it seems like nation building has started not too sure yet

Everything you need to know is on the tin. A soul pulls some shenanigans in the line to reincarnation and spends their second life just kind of existing.
At least until she meets someone who gives her the motivation to do more than just exist.
I don't understand the hatred a couple of reviewers threw at chapter 34 where all the MC did was not murder a pair of idiots that literally couldn't do anything to her. I guess some people just really like murder hobo MCs? (A murder hobo is a traveler that kills literally everyone who mildly inconvenienced them, common in DnD and web novels focused on power fantasies. They usually only appear when authors/players want someone to appear badass but over do it and just make a sociopath).

For a gender-bender / isekai / litRPG themed fantasy novel without any mention of trans issues, this story is surprisingly deep. And so incredibly adorable! The vampire-reincarnated main character feels so close in her desire for a family or when she nerds out about cooking food for others that sheself can't eat (because vampire). And then there are of course dangerous or fun adventures, a nice skill- and leveling system and a fantastic universe to experience.
I can't stop reading and I keep thirsting for every next chapter to be published.

Edit: I want to give this a five star but can't. Tried editting and rating five star and I remember putting five stars before hitting the sumbit button. Ehh, but yea, this is worth those high ratings.
In my never-ending quest for novels to read, I have found another gem! Yes! This one!
Admittedly, while I've seen this novel amongst Scribble Hub recommendation at Novel Updates, I was reluctant to touch it. Half because I may end up disappointed, half because the chapters were around twenty or so. Also, because when I pick something to read, I'll end up binge reading it till the end or until the latest updates; unless something irked me and kill my interest. Not this one!
Not disappointed I am not, but rather, I am thirsting for more! And it's good to know the author updates this around twice a week or so! Or damn, I'll be seriously suffering from withdrawal! The story is great and its flow. The action scenes are written so great, flowing with juices as I sink my teeth into each one. I love the growing of our main protagonist. Not only in terms of levels, stats, and skills but how he (or rather now, she,) grows as a person.
There may be a Gender Bender Tag and it is done well with a taste of humor and anxiety out of what challenges our vampire protagonist has to face due to her choices while reincarnating. Scarlet doesn't fight the changes but accepts them overtime and finding answers to her personal dilemmas. The character build up is fantastic, actions are done with explanation and not something so artificial that gives a sense of subtle wrongness. I cannot make a detailed commentary with the world building yet but I do love what I've seen so far. And truly, I wish to see more of this new world Scarlet is and confronts the obstacles on her way. So, to the author, Ninetailed_Furball, please keep up the great work!
Also, love the sweet, sweet Lily (read: Yuri) scenes

That's the second story that I gave a rating, since I didn't want to lower the rating of stories I liked enough to read through. Bu this deserves all the 5 stars.
The story is a fluffy power fantasy. Reminds me of underappreciated "Reincarnated as a Dragon's egg" combined with "Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear". Story structure SO FAR is similar to "I'm a Spider so what?", but is way less brutal. Also it is likely to change drastically with the end of the arc.
Strong points:
(I really like you "Fork this live", but you don't have to insert skill description next to all 100 or so skills. That is unscrollable).Read More
Like, someone doesn't accept her authority and punch her in the face then everybody including the person who punch her conveniently respect her for rolling on the ground without any resist?

I got cought up and I hate myself for it now I have to wait for new chapters to come out and it suck the wait is killing me. I really love this story it doesn't feel like something that was copied and pasted with just a few minor changes. I really hope the author doesn't quit half way and finish the story there is northing worse then an unfinished story

I'm being generous with my score, only because I like the premise and the potential this series had at the beginning.
To be quite honest, a lot of the potential was squandered due to plot holes galore and FAR. TOO. MUCH. EXPOSITION. This story just can't get to the point, there's far too much filler dialogue and padded paragraphs that keep stalling the plot. It contains far too many emotional monologues that it becomes draining to seriously read every word in every DAMN CHAPTER. You can skim read the majority of most chapters, and you literally wouldn't miss anything of importance.
The TL:DR version of the above paragraph is, this author has never heard of the expression "brevity is the soul of wit", because there's none to be found in this story.
Lastly, I generally don't mind the characters, but a lot of them feel superficial. How the main character is so easily able to make multiple separate women fall in love with her feels very contrived, every time that happened it felt like a lazy attempt in adding some girls-love elements to the story. This isn't just for the relationship part, but in general as well, all of these characters feel superficial as if they are merely problems that are waiting to be solved by the main character. I find it sickening how many characters had to rely on the main character to solve their problems.
I'm not even going to mention the grammatical problems because they feel trivial in comparison. So in closing, this entire story feels like it's written by an amateur writer (probably is). Nice ideas, execution needed a lot of work.

I absolutely love the interactions our main girl Scarlet has with the world around her throughout this series. The does a wonderful job of eliciting out various emotions with the reader ranging from fluffy moments that Scarlet has with the cast to her lowest breaking points within the series. It all corresponds together and makes up the complicated being that is Scarlet for who she is. However, with all honest praise comes honest criticism. I feel like there are certain arcs within this series that feel a little drawn out. Also, sometimes the MC's mood swings feel a little odd at times. But overall, I am wholeheartedly enjoying this series since I am fascinated by some of the world building and buildup that you hopefully have in store for us.

A very good read, it uses a lot of cliche and trope familiar to people who like this genre of story, I wish it had more surprises and twists to pull some of those cliche moments in a direction I wasn't expecting. The writing has a few issues that can be cleaned up with a good editor. I think it would be worthy of five stars with just a little content revision and some basic edits. Great job!
