At the time of this review, I've only read up to Chapter 87. So far, this book has been amazing, although repetitive at some points. I love the onomatopoeia that were added during the fights, but at the beginning of the book during her fights in the forest did get a little repetitive. For the main character, I do love how she develops over the course of time, becoming further and further brutal and sadistic as she struggles in the forest to survive. Despite being originally male, she starts to distrust other men. Her struggling with money for quite awhile also made it very refreshing. For the genderbend aspect, I like how it isn't focused yet still mentioned in some points, like how she is uncomfortable receiving gifts and whatnot because she's used to paying for the meal. (minor spoiler) I also find it hilarious that she's so brutal but also becomes a priest for the healing and other benefits. All in all, I am hooked, and I absolutely adore this book. There are some very major aspects that I would consider changing: What originally put me off from picking up this book was both the title and cover. The title, despite being a little unique, made me overlook this book for a while until I got curious enough to take a peak. I feel like it should be something a little bit more relevant to the story, but not something cheesy. The cover also put me off because since being a fantasy, I would expect it to be more of a drawing, like a sadistic priest. Nonetheless, I still adore this book and look forward to continuing reading.

Thank you for this review. And I'm not gonna lie, I had to Google search "onomatopoeia" and I'm now being a little bit self-conscious. Anyhow, going back to your review, I'm surprised that the cover and the tittle can throw people a bit off. I never considered that aspect. And as for the repetitive nature, well, a bit of a spoiler alert, you know will once you've read the ending of Volume I. Anyhow, thank you once again for the precise points you've mentioned in your review. It's really helpful.
I was trying to give a golden ticket, but for some reason, I'm not able to. It's been an incredible read so far, and I can't stop. Im hooked, lol. I've been reading a lot of books recently, but this one's definitely at the top for my most recent reads. Keep up the work!
What is a Golden Ticket? And what does it do? Sorry, I stopped reading since 2020 because of life's responsibilities and only listen to audiobooks.
To make it short, it's just another way to recommend books like power stones.
