Immortality is an illusion.
Ianna Kovac’s first moments of a new life after her own uneventful one comes to an end are marked with fear, pain, and yet another death. Faced by the guardian of an ancient tomb she experiences firsthand the horrors of her new home. She will need to find allies; horrors, monsters, demons, warriors, and kings to help her.
No solution is out of the question, no means are off the table to survive and make her place in a world terrified of her very existence. Even if that means becoming a monster herself. After all, nothing is immortal in Orum, not even the gods.

What I like most about this novel is that I never quite manage to predict what will happen. There are clues as to what the future might hold, the most obvious being quests as part of the LitRPG system. Despite that, things deviate from the expected in believable ways--be that from subverting or altering tropes as depicted in other webnovels, or just the world being organic enough that it doesn't feel scripted when things go off rails.
I emphasize this because these subversions of my expectations don't feel like a total ass pull like in so many other webnovels; instead, I enjoy the story not despite but (also) because of them.
The prose of this story is neither purple nor prosaic, I find, but strikes a middleground I think most would appreciate.
As for the grammar side of things, there is little to complain about. The biggest issue I can think about is that sometimes dialogue is written like '"..., " She said' instead of '"..., " she said;' so unless you can't stomach the occasional ensuing inconsistency with this capitalization and the like, you should have little issues reading this novel.
All in all, this story deserves to be read by more people than it is as of the time of writing this review.

Very good novel, I can’t wait for the next volume, this is definitely heavy based on character growth, at first the MC annoyed me but now she is one of my all time favorite characters. I also have no complaints about the story.

Magnificent storytelling with many twists and plot points alongside an amazingly crafted world filled with personable and interesting characters.
The main protagonist is a little spacy but she catches on and she's very charming and charismatic especially after she comes into her own. Good sense of humor and very good pacing as I never felt any part dragged on or rushed too much.
This is genuinely one of the best stories I've ever read on the internet.
