What would you do when you find yourself waking up as one of the heroines a JRPG that you used to obsessively play? What if you know almost everything about it and are confident that you can be strong no matter what? What if you know the idenitity of the Hero and know the places of his powerups?
What would you do then? Go out and explore the world?
There are Demons rampaging across it.
Help the people?
They’re not struggling, not really, in fact, it can even be argued that they’re thriving.
Then?.. What about making such a big mistake that it ended up killing the prophesized Hero, but… everything continued even with his death, there are no resets, not here- the world is still there, the Kingdoms are still standing, and now a Demon Horde is about to descend onto them.
Well, now what?

I give a good vote for the writing style and the plot and because a secondary character acting as the hero in their place is something I don't find around that often, but I'm dropping here for three reasons, one stupid, one average and one that I really can't stand any longer.
1) Neo's mukbangs. It would be funny to read them only if conservation of mass is respected and so the next scenes would be her sitting on the toilet. This is personal taste, so I don't think it's a minus for anyone else that would be interested on this novel.
2) Fourteen chapters of Neo steamrolling whatever threat appeared in front of her aren't that much fun to read, especially when the other characters are so deep that they can be replaced with cardboard cuts and play the same parts. But maybe it get's better, so... take this as the opinion of someone that dropped far before being halfway through (at the moment of writing this review, the chapters available were 55).
3) The psychological abuse of Neo. In the novel (at least until the point where I dropped) all the people around Neo keep telling her she's a lesbian and treating her as if she's in a same-s*x relationship. Now, it would be interesting if this had been used to discuss the effects of mental abuse on others (because yes, insisting on telling to someone - heteros*xual or closeted - that they're gay and that they're in a same-s*x relationship with someone when they say no to both is called "gaslighting" and it's considered psychological abuse) instead of comedy stuff, I would have continued reading.

Join us today in our definitely-not-lesbian (wink wink) princess’ journey to redeem and discover herself!! On serious note, first two chapters can be slightly confusing, but the story gets better and better from that point onward. There are plenty of other important character’s POV chapters, delicate balance between emotional tension/burden and heartwarming fluff-ness, and character progressions at good pace. Plus, don’t forget yuri/girl’s love fluff!!
