Hundreds and thousands of skills, each one providing its own benefits and small statistical bonuses. How is one to decide which ones to focus on?
The only logical answer is to train all of them.
Not enough hours in the day? Well then I won\'t sleep!
The story of Scarlet Wright, a young gamer girl with beyond extreme insomnia being reincarnated into the world of her favorite MMORPG. Without wasting a single moment, she will grind away until she is the strongest there is.
Sleep? Ain\'t nobody got time for that!
One of my favorite stories of its kind, and by that I mean getting reincarnated as a baby in a litRPG world and becoming overpowered due to training while still a baby.
It avoids much of what I dislike about that format. The pace doesn't get bogged down during the baby days, since while it still takes several chapters to get through it doesn't focus on the boring stuff that happens around the baby but is out of their control. It pretty much just establishes how the system works and how the MC exploits it, which she very much does.
The MC also doesn't get stuck in a slavery type situation without trying to or being able to do anything about it, which is somewhat common but I just don't like it when the MC is constantly miserable and gets pushed around. The MC here has agency and actively works towards her goals.
Finally the thing I like most, the MC is obsessed with leveling. This is true most of these stories, but never to this extent. You don't get the feeling that she could have worked harder or more efficiently because she literally spends every waking hour (which is 24 hours a day) either training or thinking about how to train better. It's fun to see someone finally take full advantage of the 'baby cheat'.
Also, world building and characters and such: the world and the impacts the system has on it are as realistic as anything I could think of, and the characters seem to act pretty much how people would act in their situations. The nobles suppressing the commoners is explained through the hereditary boosts, etc. The system itself isn't exactly like anything I've seen before but it's also one of the better ones with natural points of slowing growth, but also ways to overcome those.
Very good overall, I recommend reading at least the first few chapters.

tldr: Scribblehub 5/5, worth a read for somedamn fine power growth fantasy with some compelling characters.
A really fun story with an interesting take on the standard LitRPG story. The start is fun and engaging, the dialogue is good, the characters are well rounded and all have their own desires and driving goals. The world building is a little loose but nothing problematic (or that can't be rectified later if need be) and it's clearly not the focus of the story.
Also I'm immensely glad that she's started to address her inability to be touched. It's a great character trait that's really part of what made this story and I'm glad to see it isn't going to over stay it's welcome. It will of course continue to be part of the story but it also doesn't feel like a frustration. I feel that the trauma surrounding her past has been very well handled.
I will say that I think the real challenge starts now, the start of the story got me hooked but now the initial conflict has been resolved, but hasn't been replaced with anything equally compelling yet. It's also a bit concerning that now that we're out of the initial premise the classic Isekai LitRPG tropes seem to be emerging in droves. Hopefully the academy arc and the plot have something more going for them. But given the quality of what I've seen so far I'm very hopeful and keen to read more!

A pure, unmitigated power growth fantasy. Takes that nice feeling of some MC doing a training arc to get a new power, makes it the entire premise and doesn't kneecap the plot progression or characters in the process.
Worldbuilding is done very well, with the details we get being only what's relevant to the MC.
Characters are very good. The fairly minor side characters have enough detail to feel human, but not so much as to screw up the pacing, while other more major characters have good depth. Also, the king is a mega chad.
Power system is quality stuff. It's clearly made for the purpose of adding complexity to the MC's power growth, and it does it very well. The only real downside to it is that, well, lots of power growth means big power gaps, which means fights are usually curbstomps.

Of all the stories I've ever read where the protagonist starts off in this kind of situation, this is probably the first one I've found where I actually really like the way it's resolved. So well done, have five stars! As for spelling/grammar etc... consider me impressed, this wouldn't be much below par for a non-dyslexic web novel author, for a dyslexic one it's great work.

One if the best reincarnation stories I have ever read.

Absolute GOLD. A few misspellings can't hide the masterpiece this is. I could rant all day, but I'd spoil the whole thing. Every chapter is even better than the last, you can tell the author has put a lot of work into planning and setup and pulled off the execution even better! Third or fourth best character building I've ever seen in a serialized novel, with potential for first. (Which is really impressive for a LitRPG. My top two are around 600 chapters long and completed, and number three is getting there.) I'd love to see where this one goes when the author gets to those kinds of numbers.

Fantastic story. I highly recommend it.

A superbaby in a setting where overly intelligent children aren't unheard of, and one that actually seems to put getting stronger as the most important thing, instead of something to do when convenient. Strong recommend.

A really interesting story where just enough is told to the reader to capture your attention but isn’t enough to ruin the fun of learning. Scarlet seems like a really interesting character with a backstory I really hope the author spends a long time exploring! While the author worries their dyslexia may get in the way of reading it’s hardly noticeable and the grammar and spelling in the story is better than a lot of series. The mechanics the world uses are original and unique and are used in very intuitive ways.

This story is a shameless powerfantasy and it knows it. That's honesty all the description you need.
If you like powerfantasies, you will probably love this story. If you hate powerfantasies you'll hate it.
If you're in-between like I was, I'd recommend you give it a shot. I've truly come to love this story, though I can't exactly put my finger on why.
Perhaps it's the fact that despite the main character being a level-hungry maniac, the main character is still remarkably human and genuinely a good person.
TL;DR: It's good. Go read it.
