I personally love this story. The thing that pains me the most to say is that, despite being able to easily overlook the constant grammar mistakes, I can't overlook the pacing. It started out really nice, but as the story goes on it grows to be too slow. The world building is amazing and it gives plenty of personality to each world. Especially as she revisits them, however this is also my biggest quip with it. Each mission feels super drawn out and personally I enjoy the shenanigans from earth and the hub more. The punishment arc was probably the most captivating part of the story for me. The rest of the missions outside of the first few just made me want to skip them in their entirety. Overall it's great just wanted to say this first. Now, my favorite part of the book is Kat's personality and her interactions with those around her. As someone who feels the same with sexuality as Kat and is equally as dense, I love the representation and personally feel that you hit the nail on the head. My girlfriend and I have an eerily similar dynamic to Kat and Lily. While I would love to see everything develop just a bit faster I do see how the pace is perfect for a well written novel on that front and I am just impatient. The friendship between Kat and Sue is well written as well, it is clearly shown in daily life how the friends around you have an impact on what you're comfortable with. Sue for example making so many sexual jokes and Kat reciprocating them just shows how certain situations have an effect even on asexual people such as myself. There's more i would say but it's overall just an amazing book with plenty of ups and downs. It shows the characters feelings clearly and is an overall great read. Would definitely recommend if anyone is just looking for a good book.

Really nice story, especially the premise and general idea. I like the multiple and regular mini arcs with the summonings and with her life on earth in the center. I'm also very curious about what the MC will further learn about her race and abilities. Slight problems are: (I'm still at around chapter 100 so it's definitely possible that these only apply early on, MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD) 1. Some minor grammar issues (especially there/their/they're switch up very frequently.) 2. Lacking seriousness and over the top comedy efforts. What I mean by that is the lack of serious attitudes. The most mild of those is the MC just taking her transformation with nothing much more than calm acceptance. More importantly though is the lack of response towards serious danger, pain and stakes. In several of her summons she faces serious risk of getting hurt or even dying. At one point she even takes injuries that would be crippling to any normal human. All this and MC just shrugs it off and treats it like any other day. No reaction whatsoever. The same applies to stuff that could potentially put several other people at risk and still there is no real genuine reaction even if it could cause people harm either physically or 'just' to their livelihood. To top that off, since this is a comedy, the seriousness of all these situations doesn't just get ignored they are even made fun of. Comdedy to me (at least in this type of novel) should never exceed certain boundaries and there is always a time to joke and a time not to. And in this one it's very often exceeding that boundary. 3. Often times unbelievable characters. This is mostly seen in the characters on earth. Besides the MC there is Gramps, Sylvie, Lily, Vivian and Callisto (also Chekov). Every single one of them is an extremely rare type of character, which seem impossible to exist in so close proximity. And without exception no one has any problem with MC being/transforming into a demon. Not a single shred of conflict because of it. And on top of that, it seems all of them have at least something special. I get that characters should be distinguishable but it just seems implausible/convenient that everyone MC meets is like that. Do note that despite the majority of that being critique it's still a very enjoyable read.

I actually like this story. The worlds and settings are pretty fantastic as well as the lore development. There are quite a few things I like, However there are also a few things that rub me the wrong way. I feel the MC is a bit bland. She never really reacts to anything in a noteworthy manner even though her entire world is thrown for a loop. I mean, suddenly grow a tail? Yup, just roll with it. Find yourself in a sea of flame and then appear in front of someone without knowing why? Yup, just roll with it. It's too much of a "come way may" attitude where it begins to detract from her depth as a person. It also seems that the author may have a dislike of men in general. The only good male character is mainly only mentioned as reference as the person who ran the orphanage or one craftsman that's kind of cool. That's it. The rest are crass, fools, buffoons, etc.. Not that I care much because we all have our biases, but if this kind of thing sets you off then take note. Almost ALL the characters are female. For the good parts I think the overall character development and progress of the other characters is fairly nice. The story does go a bit slow on some parts but I think the author manages to balance the speed of combat with the slowness of everyday life fairly well. Sure, there would be a lot of things I would do differently in various situations but it's interesting to see the MC make the mistakes and have to work harder for them even though it doesn't really add to her depth of character. The supporting characters are pretty fantastic, although as a father of a 10y/o, Sylvie is WAY OP for her age. OVERALL its a good story if you can deal with some seemingly almost anti-male undertones. Since the story is good, it's not bad enough for me to really care.
