I love this
Good reading hopefully Lydia and Lambert get back together
please update more chapters
Great first book from emerging author Darma Day. Great plot and captivating characters. I really enjoyed the story and I wish it would have been longer. Only cons are some grammar errors but nothing major and some parts of the story seemed a little rushed. Good read.
No lie, this series would be a NY Times best seller if it could be. It deserves to be! Onto book 6!
Fantastic and interesting as always from Bebo
This is one of the best novels I've ever read. Initially, I thought it would follow the typical pattern where the female protagonist suffers heartbreak and then navigates the world with the help of a man, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I've read many novels with transmigration themes where the villainess ends up finding the same man in each world, but this one breaks the mold. Despite transmigrating into the role of the villainess, the main character doesn't seek revenge or anything of the sort; instead, she simply lives her life. The author also includes perspectives from other characters, primarily focusing on Lin Dan, which I loved.
**Spoiler Alert:** As many have mentioned, there is no male lead, and I'm glad about that because no man truly deserves the main character (MC). While various men do fall for her in different worlds, she remains blissfully oblivious to their affections. I was initially concerned about how the story would conclude, but I'm relieved that it didn't end badly. In the end, the MC gets to live her life on her own terms, doing what she wants. The author was incredibly detailed, and I felt like I learned a lot about various types of food, embroidery, and more. There were also comedic elements in certain parts, such as the MC and daughter arc, which I found hilarious. KYAAA, I'm just so happy to have finished reading it and would definitely read it again. I wish there were more novels like this because it's unique yet relatable. The MC is just a single woman living her life, and I love the feminist aspects woven into the narrative.
The internet and light novels are flooded with isekai stories, to the point where readers' expectations have risen, but overall quality seems to be slipping as more mediocre works flood the market. In this era, even what would once have been considered decent in a less saturated genre might not be sufficient anymore.
Now, the key issue is for isekai novels to distinguish themselves. In my opinion, this particular book does manage to stand out. Firstly, it gives the protagonist a clear and self-motivated objective, ensuring a well-defined goal with a clear endpoint. Unlike many isekai protagonists who may have vague motivations or are assigned tasks, this character actively pursues their goals, and the development of their desires unfolds naturally within the story.
Secondly, the novel presents a realistic protagonist. Asakura's initial apathy towards the world is understandable and central to his character growth. His detachment stems from the fact that the world isn't his own, which aligns with the reality that people wouldn't risk their lives for a foreign land. Although an uninvolved protagonist might turn off some readers, it's intentional, and the character's perspective evolves positively as the story progresses.
Additionally, the power progression is handled well. The protagonist doesn't rely on unfair advantages; instead, he becomes strong through his own abilities and the story gradually reveals more potent powers, without starting with godlike opponents.
A spoiler follows:
His power is levitation, a common low-level spell in the setting, initially used for mundane tasks. The protagonist pushes its limits, innovating to enhance melee combat, and eventually learns to use it at a distance, even breaking the boundaries of magic and approaching telekinesis.
The story includes a harem, which is a common trope in the genre. While there are currently no slave-like dynamics, the harem count is relatively small, and it appears to lean towards a "one true love" setup. The characters are standard for the genre, but the author creatively employs the harem dynamic to drive the plot, which is commendable.
While not flawless, this novel stands out among the sea of mediocre isekai offerings, with its well-developed protagonist, realistic portrayal, and engaging narrative elements.
What is ROTC?
This one is a good nivel with apocalyptic setring but the updates are slow as f*ck.
How was it?
I feel like there at least 2-3 'only' on each chapter
