This story gives off an inquisitive and academic atmosphere as promised by the premise of physics in a world with mana. As a rule, the execution of writing is very high. Characters flow in and out and feel fleshed out. If I had to criticize it, there was an interaction with a character named Sophia of which I am unsure how I feel about it. The interaction contained a lot of tension, and seemed to hint at the story containing more political intrigue. A move which I would enjoy, however the line of tension is delicate and naturally leaves readers anxious. Currently there was a twist that I think everyone expected would happen eventually, and the tone of the novel has shifted considerably.

I am currently very excitedly awaiting and hoping Alice meets her family and people after the twist. I really hope she does not leave Ouronia without that.

In general, the story can feel expressive in going from light to dark, leaving things fresh. All in all, while I don't want to pressure the author, I wish there was a patreon or something I could donate to incentivize or encourage their writing in whatever way possible, because it feels very unique. Not many stories quite like this. Many stories may have the science approach to magic, or the analytical isekai approach, however, they tend to be more slice of life or power fantasy, whereas this story feels more... filling or whole. If a story was a meal, this one is hearty, rather than sweet. Pacing is smooth, with the story never stagnating on a given subject. Some people might find the physics-magic to be a bit much, but even then I imagine most would like it if they skimmed those parts and then read the rest. Generally recommended for people who like magic systems and medieval fantasy settings.
