Abused and abandoned, Portia must fight in order to survive the new world she has found herself in.
Portia has lived a difficult life on Earth.
Born with a large birthmark covering her left eye, she is seen as 'imperfect' by her parents, unlike her sister Marigold, who can do no wrong.
Throughout her life, Portia has suffered tribulation after tribulation as she showed no talent in any subject she was tested for.
Her imperfections were only worsened by the environment that surrounded her:
Parents who demanded excellence; A sister who was wholly exceptional; and a society that mocked her efforts.
Every day is hellish when it seems that no matter how hard you try, it is ultimately meaningless.
One day, however, Portia and the rest of her class were suddenly transported to the world of Effigia.
Thinking this is a second chance for her, Portia looks upon the situation favourably.
Only to be cast away and sent to her death due to her lack of ability.
Left for dead Portia has nothing.
Her hopes of surviving are quickly destroyed when she is almost killed by a monster that appears from the surrounding forest.
Portia resigns herself to death as she loses against even the weakest of monsters: A slime
Only this encounter will not be her end; rather, it is just the beginning.

Great story so far. There a a few quirks in the writing style, but so much better than something I could ever write. Keep the characters coming, I’m so invested in where this st

Really good!
I can understand why Hasenpfote (the review of 3 stars) didn't like the 'help' the main character got, but I'm rather thankful with the author for that.. That arc could have gotten REALLY long otherwise.
Don't miss understand me, I did like the training and beating monsters arc, A LOT, but it was getting a little too long. I'm happy with the way it ended.
Long story short, good novel.

Kinda disappointed that she ended up getting a "magical grandpa" who explains everything and anything to her as an infodump. Seeing stuff like this really ruins the reading experience. (Lazy writing and it's a large block of text that feels inflated and could be summed up way quicker or at least with more spacebars to ease the online reading experience)
It's better to just make her seek shelter in the cave and experiment with her powers and going deeper when she's once again in some form of danger or an accident.
The whole premise also could be better and not duh she's not a 10/10 so everybody will bully her, its so cliche and one dimensional.
Edit: ch6 is another infodump about all the races in the world. Why not make her meet them in the future instead of just forcefeeding us all possible variations at once? Or some items/parts of the dungeon that show her? Also making Abby all-knowing and her explaining anything and everything, but then she says the MC will not grow without experience and then she says she's a part of the MC and abbys but how does she know everything? Feels super contradictory to me.
