Fun story with a main character who cannot stop blaming herself for everything. If the premise in the description sounds good, you'll probably enjoy reading this story. It's also one of the more consistent stories on here - every single Wednesday there's either a new chapter or a post from the author announcing a delay. Reading this story is solidly part of my routine at this point.

The characters, particularly the MC, make no sense whatsoever. It's just a random series of weird events mishmashed together for no reason, with no regard for established lore or character personalities.
After gaining Jacob's memories, where it's explicitly stated that she's still more Devilla than Jacob, and deciding to maintain the status quo of her people hating her and the generals betraying her so that the Heroine can lead her people to integrate with humans in peace, she does literally everything *except* that. She immediately and completely fails to even pretend to try to be the same spoiled brat everyone hates, agrees to things neither Jacob nor Devilla nor a demon queen ever would, and just lets one of the generals and their forces walk all over her for literally no reason and with no thought process behind it.
I'm only talking about content up to around chapter 4 or 5 so I don't think are any spoilers for the story - the first arc past the prologue has barely begun - but I'll hide the rest of my review so you can make your own choice to read it or not.
The writing is good, the setting could have been really interesting, I just wish there had been an attempt to actually set things up in a way that makes sense, rather than ripping up and throwing out any established setting or character personality every 5 minutes when the author has a new, nonsensical whim for the plot.

I came not expecting much, but I discovered a delightful little story.
Sometimes you want to see people face difficult problems that aren't insurmountable. So far, that's the vibe I'm getting from this.
There are real obstacles, but not an abundance of suffering or angst. You can relate to the characters, and they actually act like people (and this is depressingly uncommon). It ultimately looks like a feel-good story rather than gritty realism, which suits my tastes just fine.
Tl:dr?
Pros - Fun characters, interesting narrative, hints of a setting that's more complex than you might suspect at first.
Cons - A few scenes seem a bit rushed, and the adult scenes are a little too frequent in earlier chapters, but this could just be personal preference.
Hoping to see more of this.

This one really surprised me, the story is good, the characters are great, and the situational and emotional depth is superb. I’m hooked, and I look forward to more of this story.

An enthralling world and cast of characters that I wish I could recommend more highly. I was hooked right from the start, dragged into Devilla's struggles, her relationships, the honestly rather well-written smut... And dragged a bit deeper, going to that random village. Meeting some new characters, learning about the world. Again and again, new characters, new things, new lore, more things to intrigue me. Lucy's positivity and optimism are truly heroic and make me adore her, and she possesses a surprising depth of thinking to boot.
But more recently, and I mean no disrespect to the author, there's been a slight shift in focus. Away from Devilla for a while, away from her issues and onto other characters. The addition of a teleportation ability, too, means that there's little choice for Devilla to make at times: she has her cake and eats it too. Hehe.
This is fine, mostly. As the cast comes together, some characters are consistently taking the spotlight in a way that damages the tone, in my opinion:
When Lucy and Devilla go to the tower together, she has a brilliant introduction. A perfect one, nearly. And then we spend two chapters talking about how Chloe is amazing, Chloe does this, Chloe does that, Chloe beats the hero, ect ect. She takes center stage so hard that I genuinely forgot that this was the first interaction Lucy had with these characters, and the Chloe v Lucy fight barely makes sense to begin with.
All in all, I enjoy this story greatly, but there's some flaws and odd choices of focus. Absolutely something I'd suggest reading, but I've found my enjoyment waning lately.
