The story is an odd one, I like it, but this will not be everyones cup of tea.

The first 150 chapters are literally just every form of child abuse imaginable and thats it. I think the first W for the MC is not before chapter 100 thereabout. I considered dropping this story several times during this ordeal, not because of the abuse, but because mc's conclusions from the abuse are irrational in my opinion. Every sane person would have felt nothing but pure hatred after beeing subjected to these circumstances. Yet MC seems to have just forgotten about it for the most part? It kinda makes the entire suffering proluge a bit pointless in my opinion. I full well expected this to turn into a revenge story where MC ran away from her abusive family and later take revenge but this is not this kind of story at least thus far MC tries to fit in with her family for the most part.

After Chapter 100-150 the intro/prologue of suffering is done and it sure has some amazing badass moments. Nice fights, funny powers and very intresting world building. I look especially forward to how the world building and politics will develop. Those were my favorite scenes so far.

Theres a few things I personally do not like about MCs personality but those are relatively minor. 

For example this is one of those novels where MC blushes all the time for no reason. In anime her nose would comically bleed all the time just because MC sees someone from the oposite s*x. Its annoying.

Another thing is that MC has due to 150 chaps of total brutal abuse all the reason to behave like a stone cold killer, but all I get are the usual wimpy vibes. "Oh no I couldnt possibly kill a person". MC even has doubts about finishing off a half sentient zombie. I hope this goes away, its annoying.

Lastly this story has its fair share of gods that have ominous goals and MC is their chosen one. Its not a plot device I particularly enjoy. I was neutral towards the first "god" showing up in MCs dream after beeing subjected to brutal tortue and having small talk with her for a few chapters, however the second one that also has a split personality with 3?4? Different personas was a tad bit much and again falls into the annoying category.

I will look forward to see where this plot goes! So far id rate it a 7/10. Pretty good with ample room for improvement but only time will tell if author manages to pull that off. I hope he does!

Not sure how to say it but this feels so bland and stupid at times. The MC is supposedly being tortured to grow because people only value strength and she is weak and frail. Apparently according to the author people who only value strength don't understand how to make someone grow strong other than torturing them which just seems stupid on so many degrees. One would assume that people who only value physical strength in a world of magic would have invented and discovered means and method to make themselves stronger than regular people. But I guess everyone in the kingdom the MC is is too dumb to do that. 

There aren't explanations to things that are happening in the story, they just are and that's all you get. Most of the stuff seems like plot convenience and that just seems lazy writing to me. For example,  

Magic is described as banned in their kingdom especially for nobles which again looks like a plot convenience. In a world of magic do you really think that a kingdom can even be established let alone exist when it prohibits the use of it? It makes sense if it is being controlled and regular people cannot use them but apparently a kingdom can come into existence without using magic in a world full of magic and beasts. 

And if you say they much have methods to make themselves physically strong, then again it's a moot point since they only know torture as a way to increase strength as we can see after looking at the MC. If there are other things then they aren't even mentioned and everything is left to good old "the plot needed it" method.

Tldr: if you are interested in a sob story without actual world building and are ok with stuff happening because it was needed to drive the plot then this might be for you.

It has what seems like a good plot developing with great character development. However, Jesus Christ the amount of abuse and the sheer amount of time that is spent on just about 2 weeks makes me feel like it's never going to actually go anywhere (all 74 chapters I read take place over about 2 weeks).

Just doesn't have the draw to keep me reading but seems like it will be good in the long term.

The pacing is a bit slow, but it fits with the story. All of the content that is covered feels relevant, and continues to build on itself as the story progresses. There are unexpected turns, but never in a bad way. While it is dark at times, the heartwarming moments make up for it, and the character development is really fun to watch.
