Aperio had been a slave for as long as she could remember. She toiled away in the palace of her masters, her body forced to obey, her mind no longer caring that she did. Her only joy was the small inconveniences an error in her work could bring, t
This series really knows what it's doing.
I am still on my first world they go to, so I do not have a thorough idea of what the large-scale pacing will be like just yet, but I am definitely liking what I'm seeing so far. The author did a good job with creating a magic system based around the idea of there being different forms of magic in different worlds.
The best and key appeal of the story, however, is how the author fully leverages the multi world-hoping nature of the story to create worlds with interesting and unique magic systems, cultures, and threats. This allows for them to create settings that you simply would not see in your standard long-form fantasy series due to the world building lacking the legs for a story that's hundreds of chapters long, but is just perfect for the shorter periods of time the cast is supposed to be staying in each world, and it is a real refreshing breath of fresh air to see these really imaginative worlds and magic systems.

Very strong story about people who are picked up by remnants of cosmic forces, allowing them to remember past lives and grow stronger as long as they follow the constraints that cosmic forces impose upon them. Fun story so far where each setting is a novel more or less, and I'm at least looking forward to more.

Generally your story is good. I like the market and magic systems. The only issue I see is that you barely show what the characters do other than their magic and powerfantasy. They dont engage much with others and we dont learn enough about the natives. It's all very superficial.
The first world was a bit better on this, but since we hit the second one we don't know that much about the MC's parents. Sure we know the superficial stuff and what they represent. I just wish we got like 2 - 3 more chapters of childhood and the MC actually interacting with her parents and siblings. Especially so considering that they were once again stuck in a house for ages.
At the same time I also feel like it's enough, but I do want to see more relevant characters in the future and generally for them to spend more time in a few worlds and therefore more depth to worldbuilding and the characters.
The one thing that stood out in a bad way is how the characters act like adults in a childs body. Their mannerisms and speech would be way too creepy to parents who already had multiple children. Furthermore the parents care too much about them which doesnt always fit the worldsetting.
The worst offender was that she spoke about the ocean and madness as affinities to her master. How does she even know about the ocean if they are mostly cave-dwellers? There was no mention of books or anything being taught as far as I can remember. Other characters also bend to the MC's and her troupes will way too often even if the author does create conflicts about their choices. The adults always fold.
Once again I want to say that I like the story and binged it, but it could be better.

I mean, WoW!
Really good multi-world hopping book. The worlds are well made, the characters have well crafted personalities that you would want to follow along their journey. Kept me glued to this book for a good amount of time. Can't wait for more!

First thing I feel compelled to mention, since I drop most stories on the first page due to just being unable to handle awkward prose and dialogue: hey, this story is real pleasant to read.
I love a story about found family, especially when their interpersonal struggles are the result of external stressors being imposed upon them, and the characters deal with this by genuinely caring about one another. This story has the good stuff.
Seeing an afterlife beset by capitalism is somewhat depressing, but the glimpses into the lives of people who nevertheless showed humanity and kindness to one another in the midst of all that are heartwarming, so I'd say it balances out.

Love it, the start was a bit slow but OH getting into it, the really smart, logical development of abilities so far has me loving the current story arc, everythings shining really well at the moment. It really feels like thought was put into these abilities and how the MC uses them, my only issue is that the two major supporting characters at the moment haven't had their 'moment of magic' where they did something smart and outstanding. Can't wait though.
