she LITERALLY gets f**ked to death. A useless protagonist who opens her legs nonstop but refuses to prostitute herself like she has some high ground. Moron.

I sadly caught up to the free release of this story so I'm gonna leave this comment here both to say how I felt reading it as a whole and so I can come back and read the story from here.

First book was just amazing I basically read it all in one sitting. The plot from the moment she found herself in the bandit king's camp up to the moment of her death was just so captivating there was drama there was affection there was plenty of tragedy and smut and political intrigue the characters were varied the trans*xual cute protective, possessive elf falling for the protagonist, the traumatized abused servant, the sociopathic bandit king so caught up in keeping everything he lost it all, the nobles and royals so deep in their depravity there was nothing they would stop at to feel some pleasure in life, the 4th prince surrounded by weirdness powerless to do anything to change his own fate let alone his country's even the smaller side characters such as Reinhart and Melinda were delights to read in their own way. Main character was just "perfect, perfect down to the last minute detail" a promiscuous college girl who gets killed and is transfered right into hands of raping monsters decides that she cannot be raped uses her s*x to protect the few people she can, she might have been the strongest personality I've ever read about. The setting was just as good a dark fantasy world with a good amount of smut but so much so that it did not overwhelm the plot and the story was, well, story driven the litrpg aspect was well done and felt unique and not repetitive and despite many complaints by other readers I found her skill choices reasonable and even after reaching this point in story I can still say that they were mostly the better options in retrospect. The monster po*n though it did literally nothing for me was fun or at least funny to read. Book one was easily one of the top 10 dark fantasy stories I've ever read.8.5/10

Then came book 2 and the problems began. First characters seemed different and I don't mean that in the sense that they dynamically changed they were simply different people. MC did not have the same sense of purpose it felt like she was play pretending at beging a hero as opposed to the Aria that actually was one despite how she felt, her open s*xual relationship did not have the same excuses it did on the first book yet she was not only in no way acting better to her wife (whom we saw her confess to in a dream right after she was rescued from being burned at the stakes because she was sleeping around) she was infact acting worse, she was not the same caring, selfless, confidently unbreakable character we had seen and loved and that was after the events at the end of the book one which by all means had pushed her into a much stronger personality by the time she was done with Ndia and the bandit king. She had become selfish, filled with doubts and worries and in even deeper denial about her emotions towards Min. The side characters were not as captivating as the first book Min left Aria to her fate at a low point in her life, Devon spat on her mercy and the gift of a kingdom despite the chivalrous behaviour we had previously seen, Min stood there and watched as one slaver after another shackled her pushing her to lower and lower depths something the Min we knew would have under no circumstances ever done. The succubus colony were pacifistic and boring despite the expectation, the general was a whoremonger who f*cked her then pretended to care for her when it was revealed how powerful she truly was a character with little backbone but a lot of empty air who wanted to marry her to his psychopath of a son or narcissist of one who wanted to send her to his f*cked up wife to take care of an absolute idiot in the shoes of someone that was supposed to be a military genius. The only characters I somewhat liked were the slaver kappa because of his mercantile behaviour his fear of Aria and his satisfying death and Mom (what a hero that one she and her girls didn't get enough credit as Aria was very apathetic at that point) . Somehow Aria constantly got her skills countered, cancelled or ignored despite us knowing for a fact how strong and unique the amount of special skills, arts and resistances she had was supposed to be and in addition to her newfound meek personality that made for very painful reading. Min's forceful removal from Aria's story (I doubt a single one of those idiots that kept asking for this have read this story to this point) despite her ultimate survival took away all sense of purpose from the character turning the only drive into s*x. Story went from tragedy to tragedy to tragedy without any harmony with other emotions making the reader numb to it all. The ending admittedly had some satisfying scenes such as the confrontation with Min and destruction of the armies of humanity and demons. But it just wasn't enough to even compare to the first book.6/10

As for the third book it was everything that was wrong with the second book but more, too much tragedies and not much else until almost after 50 chapters where story finally seems to pick up. The pace is atrocious the smuts unlike the first book taking most of the content yet not being all that satisfying, the chapters are short and don't seem to go anywhere alot of the times the only thing that stands to me in the first supposed half of the book is her almost unconscious sense of retribution and self punishment and her desperation to finally find a place she can call home which usually is fine but not for content that has taken years to make. The story seems to have picked it self up with us getting some more exposition into the history of the world some more drama, some better writing but it's simply too late too little. As the book stands now 6.5/10

Overall my conclusion is that the author is a great writer but the fact that his writing is varied and unfocused with many, many simultaneously ongoing web novels it has led to the inevitable drop in quality and consistency of the plot and characters, this work could have been his Harry Potter his Blade itself but alas quality has been sacrificed for quantity to reach different audiences and though I absolutely love his writing it has led me to never read any of his other works again unless if they are finished stories and have very positive reviews. Thanks for the story.
