It really is!

I did plan for multiple POVs in this story, so there may be Donncahd chapters at some point in the future!

I think Isabelle will be happier knowing her own history, and it's definitely only maybe a bit of an excuse for me to write cute things. haha.

Vaughn is still keeping mostly to himself. Isabelle is still doing her best to pull him out of his shell, but he's still a bit like a one-person cat. To be fair to the boys, they have been a bit distracted first with traveling back to Nevremia and then Isabelle being sick. (I always forget I can respond to these because the buttons are so hard to see...!)

This story blends paranormal romance with gothic fantasy in a fun way that feels great if you're a fan of vampire and paranormal romance but you're a bit tired of the same stories recycled over and over. Rather than your typical hapless high schooler with one inexplicable ability vampires just can't seem to resist, the MC is for once that way more interesting witch who always somehow ends up the side character. Perhaps more importantly to me, this story isn't set in a high school. It's a gothic fantasy set during the time all the interesting flashbacks usually are. If you're interested in a change of pace, a more interesting setting, and a dynamic between the MC and her vampire which has more push and pull in it, or if you'd rather see a lady vampire for once, it's definitely worth giving a read. It's the kind of story that really draws you in and builds the world around you the more you read it.

I find this to be an interesting twist on your usual isekai story. Not necessarily because if any certain gimmick or plot, but because of the pacing and tone. The pacing feels deliberate, refusing to rush even for the jump through worlds. There's a sort of grim, greyish tone to the story that matches Yuki's mental state. He's exhausted, lethargic, and a touch nihilistic, which the story seems to reflect in pacing and subtle details. Many isekai jump right out of the gate into action and explosions or some kind if punchy hook. This one feels like it deliberately refuses to. The plot will unravel in its own time, and so shall the answers come. Although initially used primarily for humor and a sense of frustration, Yuki's androgynous nature may also end up coming into play in interesting ways, as his appearance deviates from your average nondescript isekai lead. For that, though...I guess we'll have to wait and see.

A straightforward litRPG, but with its own mysteries and twists to keep it fresh. The story opens in medua res - the protagonist has died and already had his meeting in the after life, and we are left only guessing what happened and why. As stands, the 'curse' could be more substantial, but -10% HP may end up playing out as more annoying for the MC than one may initially expect. There are many questions: what kind of person was the MC? Why does he make some morally questionable choices so easily? Do others in this world have curses or even blessings? There is much to answer, explore, and build with this story. If you're interested in a story that starts similarly to many litRPGs but carries with it the promise of intrigue and twists, including that of the protagonist themselves, this is worth checking out.

boy, you would not be in this situation if you moved your happy feet outta the caravan and ran!

An intriguing twist on the isekai system genre. What seems like an offer 'too good to be true' turns out...to actually be too good to be true, and an arrogant MC immediately gets punished for his hubris. Taking the concept of a system of people who keep 'important characters alive' and then turning it into a cutthroat corporate setting is a snarky twist on the way these sorts of situation are usually portrayed. There's a lot of potential in this story, depending on where it goes after The Baby storyline, but it certainly makes no attempt to hold back or pull any punches with its first arc. The MC must adapt quickly or suffer a fate worse than death - after watching the innocent hero die first. There's a lot of potential for grappling with morals, being forced to keep the immoral alive for the greater story, and being unable to save those who aren't the target, as well as a great variety of settings depending on the stories visited, but we'll have to wait and see how it goes. From a writing perspective, one can tell this is the author's first story and it shows in shaky legs like a young fawn's. However, what flaws do exist are not enough to discourage a reader from giving this story's potential a chance.
