I'm sorry if I break tos, but just wanted to give a 5 star and let you know that I appreciate your story, a couple of days ago I had one of those moments where I was like " gotta catch up with that lovely feel good story about the goddesses" scoured RR to page 50 plus of ongoing/stub/hiatus/complete and found nothing.

Today I randomly remembered the name of your story and found out that you didn't delete It and I was truly happy.  Don't let people drag you down and continue your writing journey at the pace that you like. 

Characters: a solid cast of good people doing good things around the universe, each main character is well developed and quite different from one another, even if they are ultimately very similar in their motivation and goals. 

Story: a feel good ride that gives you fuzzy feelings, consistently well written and quite fluid, It is not the "groundbreaking" grimdark world of RR martin or something equally complex, but it is unapologetically good in what it wants to deliver.

 Style: a nice mix of good prose and good readability, I always found that if an author can write the feel of that style is subjective so I'll just let you know that I found the relaxed feeling conveyed perfect for the story.

Grammar: It has been a while since I've read the story but from what I can remember nothing stood out as terrible so I'll reread the whole thing and maybe edit the review to give more precise insight into his category, but for now I'll just say that the grammar was good enough to not notice many mistakes. Have a good day and happy writing !

I've read the entire thing on Royal Road, including the Tale of Izenakee and everything so far from the Tale of Twilight, which the author seems to be waiting on bringing over here. Also, this is my first time writing a review.

The start is really good, tasteful flashbacks are used to help you really feel what Menelyn is going through, and grieve with her over the death of her sister, despite her having been killed before the story begins (not a spoiler, it's literally in the synopsis). That's pretty much as dark as the story gets, as the rest of the story is about her getting reacquainted with the world after her years in isolation, coming to terms with who she is in the eyes of the world now, and getting catharsis.

There are two 'tales' that come after it, where we see the consequences of her actions as the world develops due to the unique circumstances it finds itself in (I won't spoil that part). As the tales go on, there develops a definite light-hearted and fluffy atmosphere, and a lot of the tales is that fluff, there's still some serious stuff going on, but it's mostly about characters navigating the mental effects of being in their position.

I'll admit, the exact 'vibe' of the story definitely goes through some changes, it starts pretty heart-wrenching, and slowly progresses to pretty fluffy, and in the most recent arc there's some more serious things going on but the atmosphere maintains it's light-hearted nature, but all of it is good, so...

Undoubtedly, this story is one of the better interpretations of a mortal's ascension to godhood status that I've had the pleasure of reading on this site. The author paints a great picture in Menelyn; broken but willing to make the effort to rebuild

her life follows a very peculiar trajectory that falls in place with how the world has perceived her existence, not unlike a fish swimming along the currents of a river.

This novel deserves a read.

This is, in my personal opinion, the best mortal to godhood story on the internet. On top of that this story is one of the better ones at portraying Good Goddesses and how hard it is to be a Good person/deity. I'm excited to see where this story goes, and what the end of the journey might look like. I highly recommend giving this story a read.

As far as I'm concerned this is the only mainly fluff story on this site worth reading, very well done. (Also "the laboratory at the end of the world" is such an epic phrase, gave me chills)

A Real Goddess Would Read This Novel.

No, really, you should read this... The only drawback is that the author is mortal and thus can't write new chapters via magic.  

• Protag experiencing genuine tragedy?  Yes, but it's not drowned in and makes her become a bad ass!
• Protag redefining "Avenging Angel"?  Swoosh-check!
• Protag and crew balancing warm fuzzies with smashing bad guys in style?  Dude, they magi-nuked a bad guy between sessions of providing the support team with positive reinforcement (mental and magical)
• You want sparkles?!  We got the Goddess of Sparkles!

Still not sold?  This novel made me endure RR to read it before it was cross posted here.  And you don't need to, cause it's here!

Also, did I mention the adorably floofy birds?

Wonderful story! I've forgotten how many times I have reread it but it always hits as hard as it did the first time. I'll continue to check in on new uploads, even if take months, years or decades. It is an amazing masterpiece that you've written here, dear Author, I believe you should be proud of it.

Started read it this morning, and reached the end of current content this evening. Very good story for scribblehub. If you're ok with a lot of angst and functional prose then it's a decent read and worth giving a go!

This is a story of three parts really, any of which the story could have ended at or been their own novel. Personally I think Part1 was strong, start of Part2 was good, large parts of Part3 are good,

Part1: Backstory, ascension to godhood, resolving the primary plot. It doesn't break the mould plotwise, but has an interesting mystery to resolve and manages a pretty good version of the " protagonist dropped into post-timeskip world, now is OP". 

Part2: Lots of feel good and timeskipping through building a utopian world. If you enjoy worldbuilding this might do it for you, but it's not in any great depth, there's no great plot driving things forwards - just lots of little side stories, main character cast growing, dealing with their angst... maybe authors view of what a uptopian society looks / works like?

Part3: We're going interplanetary now! Plot restarts - we've got a new world of injustice to resolve via a new set of characters coached by the old set. There's even some romance! So it's an upswing, but expect far too much of "lie down & dream of the goddesses & all problems will be resolved via a conversation". The tone is kind of jarring - at this point I'm bored of the old characters and was mostly skipping their interactions with each other. There's some real tonal whiplash of going from "arming a slave uprising" to "goddess giving concert in bikini - are bikini's now divine attire?!"

Ultimately I enjoyed it, and want to finish the current story arc, but not sure if I'll follow along regularly.

A beautiful tale about guilt, familial love, and learning to forgive oneself.

First off let me say, I have not finished A Real Goddess Would Let Nobody Die. And I do not think I will; let me explain.

To me this is more like 3 stories than a single story. The first story is a beautiful tale about guilt, familial love, and learning to forgive oneself.

After that is a sequel story: The Tale of Izenakee. Told mostly through the POV of a new character as they become acquainted with the main character from the first part of the story. It shows the consequences of the Menelyn’s actions and how she viewed by the world and how this new character has her own growth and story and how they become something akin to family, along with plenty of world building to illustrate how the goddesses have changed (and continue to change) the world.

Now I have not read what I would call the 3rd ‘story’ in this ‘series’ The Tale of Twilight. And I do not think I will, but do not let that statement sound as if I think poorly of A Real Goddess Would Let Nobody Die. I simply feel that my journey with these characters has ended.

A Real Goddess Would Let Nobody Die is an emotional and heartfelt story that deserves your time. I do not think I will complete it, but that is not due to any dislike or ennui. I strongly recommend it and while I stopped less than half way through I am in no way suggesting that is what is proper or how you should read it, I simply felt it should be mentioned for the context of my review.
