so long story short it’s adorable and has fairly good writing. There are some wonderful storylines, unexplored depths, and the main characters (Yami, Aizen, Ari, and Fenri) all have intriguing personalities. There are good background storylines and seeing Yami light up and explore the differences in smithing is wonderful.

The Bad

Spoiler

Yami’s an idiot. She hits the trope of ‘overpowered protagonist trying not to stand out’ so hard it’s inane. We also get side characters that often have no point and zany storyhooks that don’t make sense instead of the major arcs that keep getting pushed back (like Eli and the apprentice)

[collapse]

And the Ugly

Spoiler

Two things. We are told a well equipped level 80 can take down a base 120. Yami is effectively 200 with high tier gear. Non combat class or not her stats should be ridiculous yet she acts fragile. More importantly though.... How the hell does she get bored of crafting so often when it’s 50% of her personality?!? Totally made me wanna scream. “I love crafting, I wanna craft more, oh god this is taking too long eh. I only need to craft part of it right? The rest is good enough....” and hasn’t even touched alchemy despite being a max level alchemist.

Overall worth a read but definitely some frustrating parts.

!!I dropped this story at c29, or at least put on hold to be read later when I have nothing good to read!!

One word: generic.

Plot: Very generic. Our MC dies in the real world then gets reincarnated into a game world as his ingame character but his ingame character got changed into a loli because of the will of the supreme one (metaphor for author) and the lolicons (readers). Hit the cliche troupe of "overpowered MC doesn't want to stand out but the MC is so dumb that they cause trouble with the few brain cells they have left" spot on. Also hits the troupe of "WOW I got reincarnated into another world and I go wander around for no good reason". Its like the author didn't even try to write a somewhat unique plot and slapped in a fantasy setting straight from the template.

Characters: Now this one is actually pretty good. The main cast is small and the characters are somewhat good in terms of quality. Not without issues tho. First, the deadly trap of amateur writers known as "moronic characters". Pretty generic moronic MC tbh. MC goes like "uwaa I dont want trouble I want to live peaceful life" and then in the very next chapter the MC just willingly walk around town without disguise (MC is a beastkin and they are target of discrimination) like come on wtf man. Second, somewhat monotonous and predictable characters. Characters pretty much just have a set behavior and then they never change. The MC loses the few brain cells she has left the moment something about smithing comes up, Aizen becomes a massive stock template tsundere and Ari becomes a generic shy heroine.

3/5 because of how average it is.

The story is a little bit cliché, but I like it. The story seems like it's gonna be interesting.

I am terrible at reviews, so I will just say that it is an enjoyable read. If you enjoy slice of life and a fairly easy going book where the MC doesn't go murderhobo, this is a good book to read.

Ok while I admit the story seems to have taken a change in direction. I empathize with what the current author is going through as someone who has been abandoned by friends. Anyways I love this story and while I admit that Cecil and Ari seemed to be intended to be the same character leading to a possiblity of different outcomes and Ari may have intended to be a classless character (my first thoughts) anyways I love Aizen, Yami n Ari n I wanna see their story though so please don't give up?♥️ (also ship Yami n Aizen) ♥️

While the opening is a bit slow the author is constantly looking for feedback and seems to actually care about their work which by itself is pretty rare anymore.

This isn't about fighting evil, it isn't about saving anything, it's just about a couple of insanely OP socially awkward kids trying to get by and maybe have some fun in a world neither of them totally understands. (So far anyway, they could easily decide to take over the world for the lolz and it would still be fun because that's just the type of comedy I like.)

Always remember not to take a project more seriously than it takes itself, and a loli 1 hit killing multiple countries because their kings trigger her Napoleon complex is about as serious as this takes itself.

I don’t typically like slice of life, however this one just seems to draw me in, and I quite enjoy it

Now if you are looking for female friendship in a story, well this is it.

Personally its not for me but the update schedule is pretty good and its kind of what you expect in a slice of life novel. The MC is op but has terrible karma and she sets off to figure out this new world she gets dumped in. The world is a game that she has played before and she meets other girls who become friends with her. Its not supposed to be yuri but there is like a tiny sprinkle of it.

Honestly im not sure whats happening in the story or what the plot is yet but have fun reading anyways.

We love a good poll.
