"Nya~?"
A realistic deconstruction of the isekai trope, experienced through the perspective of a native inhabitant. A world filled with political intrigue, religious themes, and the potential for kingdom-building (or destroying).
To be honest this story is kinda hidden gem!
I find the pacing, introduction, the chemistry between characters, the way the author writes is also exquisite and something other authors could take a note from.
10/10, you have my blessings!

The writing quality is on par with that of legitimate literature. An exciting setting, the protagonist is not stereotypical and has a very realistic and pragmatic mindset, someone you would probably not expect to be isekai'd. Reactions of characters felt genuine, and the way the world is presented makes you believe that it is, and was alive. Without doubt, this is one of the best executions I've seen among this genre. The author should write real books, and sell them. Also, I realize that this is very similar to other reviews, but it's the best that I could come up with without spoilers.
I will mention that this novel is a re-write, and you can find the original under the title "Reincarnated Arriviste [old ver.]". What slightly bothers me is that it the first chapter of the original was released in January 2021, which makes it almost 3 years old by now, and with only 36k words it doesn't look great. But I suppose I understand that high-quality writing, editing, and proofreading takes time and effort. At the moment of me writing this review, it has been on a 4+ month hiatus. Recently the author had picked it up again, releasing 2 new chapters, so let's hope it isn't a one-time thing.

The main character is already really entertaining and interesting and I really like his/her characterization. And the environmental descriptions are excellent. It really helps you immersive yourself in the story. This truly is a Hidden gem.
