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.

Edit for the point on Comedy: That does not mean the comedy isn't funny when it is appropriate in my opinion. Felt like that's important to note
