I don't often rate books, but when I do, they are either absolutely amazing, or so terrible that I needed somewhere to talk about how bad it is. That being said, the fact that I rated this five stars should tell you which of the two this book is. 

TLDR: Book good, now go read it

 Clickbait title, not representative of true contents, and feels more like an attempt at a joke interpretation of Lovecraft's works.

 Writing is subpar: a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes, incorrect tenses, poorly structured dialong that boils down to characters just speaking words and you have to do the guessing work about their emotions and intentions. It's the most basic a written dialogue can get - a line of text in quotations. It's a poor choice for a novel which isn't just a draft for webtoon, like korean are. 

Average. Annoying. The only words to constantly resurface while I was reading this story. 

 Average school slice of life comedy based on one of the most unsuitable for such genre things - Lovecraftian horrors. 

 The story is averagely set around a teen, in an average japanese school. But, oh so conveniently, it turns out her school is also riddled with paranormal, the moment she discovers it for herself. What a coincidence, who'd have thought. Never ever has it ever happened in poorly written japanese novels and mangas yet here we are again, with the same overused tropes. 

 The absolute inaptitude of protagonist to adapt even a bit also speaks volumes of this particular work's level of quality. When already barely clinging onto her sanity all she had to do to stabilize herself is to return home is illogical. And it never comes back around. While also keeping a mentality of a 10 yo, and feels like it only gets wose over time. And the only possible chance to at least gain some sort of adequacy after so many chapters is shoved in the furtherst corner of a drawer, just to be a convenient deus ex machina. While also still have MC blaming hers poorly adapting psyche as the reason, when it's literally a solution presenting itself on the platter. 

 Most side characters, while bland and extremely basic with only one defining personality trait at least do not panic over every word they say or hear, so they do not annoy, despite mentally being children (with exception of MC mother, who's more of a young adult with some concept of responsibility). I still find it baffling that characters that are capable of guiding protagonist through with her powers just leave it to a chance for everything to be destoyed, WHILE ALSO SAYING THEY DO NOT WANT HER TO DO IT ON ACCIDENT. 

 Logic in this story is even worse than japanese novels - as in, the more dumb ret*rded sh*t MC does the funnier it is. IT IS NOT. The pattern behind every joke is so blatantly obvious you see it coming miles away, and when it comes it's just frustratingly annoying, because it is exactly what it was presented as. Just as a little example, MC wants to lay low, so that's why when having an option of quietly phasing through the door into her locked room or teleporting there she chooses to open giant doors, while she was assigned a f**king babysitter. Who'd see it coming, that cover is blown afterwards, huh? Maybe an infant won't.

  Basically, this story has nothing to do with true eldritch horrors, and whenever it was throwing in such bits and pieces they were no more than a bait. It's a fairy tail of a child who cannot comprehend what she became, and doesn't even f**king try, instead loitering and fooling around. While her screw ups are supposed to be "funny" in author's opinion.

*possible spoilers

*I haven't truly written any story reviews before so I'd take this with a grain of salt

I mostly skimmed through the first chapter but after that the story is pretty enjoyable. The MC is Op but this is mediated by her lack of skill, knowledge, and combat. Other than the steady reveal of supernatural & cosmic knowledge the story is also driven by the MC's emotional bonds to her family & friends. That said, I can't wait to see what happens to her jar of evil as well as her lost limb.

It's a very unique premise. The author also really sells what a 14-year old child would probably reasonably do in these special set of circumstances. Although sometimes it gets inane and/or tropey, that's part of the charm of this book; nothing is supposed to be reasonable. Even then, most of the inanities are reasoned out eventually anyway.

If you're put off by the bad grammar (the author does acknowledge that they are foreign), I have to admit that you can practically see it improving in real time--I'd say by around ch. 50 is when the writing stops showing major signs of "non-native speaker", so stick with it till the end I'd say, as the story that is being conveyed is well worth it.

First few chapters was confusing but other than that, along with the other two books it's amazing!

I really like the premise and idea of this book however one line managed to ruin it for me, Spoiler btw cos I have no idea how to do spoiler boxes. When the MC is talking with the demon girl about how she got into great situation, the demon girls says that she couldn’t have done it herself and that an elder God must have “allowed” it to happen or something. This makes the fact that she has been dream walking her entire life practically irrelevant to the plot because it reduces the achievement from finally achieving something in her dreams after not being able to sleep properly her entire life, to her just being given power by the whims of some greater power. It completely take away the value and feeling of the achievement from the MC and just mantra it feel like some cheap “it was asked planned” garbage. But I do like the idea of an eldrich god walking around modern day earth as a cute girl do that is why I gave the stars. Not for me tho sorry.

Its great. The character is intelligent and nice. I love how this book defines the word eldritch: weird, twisted, mighty but not downright evil.

Just found this story yesterday. I binge read the story in two days to catch up to where it is at this point (chapter 69.) It is such an interesting concept for a story, and the characters feel like unique people discussing things, unlike some stories where it feels as if one person is speaking for everyone. 

The author’s grasp of the English language is not to the level of a native speaker and it clearly comes through in the writing. I am personally very picky about this sort of thing, but I found myself more or less able to ignore it and enjoy the story, and I really can’t exactly explain why. Maybe it’s the ideas being pursued, or the believable way everyone behaves. 

If you find the idea of an average teenager in modern Japan suddenly becoming an Eldritch abomination outer god with all that entails interesting, give this a read. If I were her, I would be flying about the solar system, dancing in Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, traveling between realms and exploring the endless expanse of the multiverse. For whatever reason, our outer god protagonist has decided to attempt to continue regular school life and try her best to pretend nothing has changed. It’s actually quite amusing, and it’s quite engaging to the imagination.

Phenomenal intro, Funny premise, sadly with some caveats.

Ill try to focus on what the story does well in my opinion first: 

The characters are vibrant and have personality,

The comedy is hilarious

And yes the story can manage to really hook you for many hours and binge you into read it. Never a dull moment when reading it.

Now the parts that I did not like.

MC is for all intends and purposes omnipotent so author has to do something to balance her since author wants a story to be had. The way the author does it is not to my liking however. Basically MC has absolutely zero assertiveness. None. This is fine as a character flaw but the MC is in situations that go against her clearly established bottom line and yet she does nothing or effectively nothing when there are a lot of seemingly obvieus ways to resolve the situation without going against MC's morals. This makes no sense and causes me headaches.

The world building is somewhat shaky, but since its not the focus of the story it can be ignored. Only if you really consider whats going do you come to the conclusion that you require a decent amount of make believe to make this world work.

Ive decided to drop this story at ch. 121 at the end of an arc that I really did not like. Was a very enjoyable read barring the last arc.

Concerning the rating:

- 0.5 Stars for the shaky world building

- 0.5 Stars for the MC being a bit of a whimp in situations where that's not appropriate.

- 0.5 Starts for arc ending at ch. 121. (I really did not like that one, mainly MC's behavior made 0 sense the entire time...)

As we are all capable of maths We end up with a 3.5/5. Unfortunately Scribble hub doesn't let me do that so a 3 it is.
