★★★★☆ A Surprisingly Decent Read (Trust Me, I'm Totally Not Biased) Look, I'm going to be real with you here. The writing? It's fine. With a few years of writing experience under my belt, you won't find any grammar disasters here. Nothing that'll win a Pulitzer, but hey, you won't need eye bleach either. Character design and worldbuilding? Well... *awkward cough*. I'm basically standing on the shoulders of giants here since I'm working with an established universe. So yeah, those are solid - but I can't exactly take credit for that. It's like acing a test by copying the smart kid's homework, except legal and ethical. Now, story development? This is where I get to toot my own horn a bit (and since I'm writing this review, who's going to stop me?). This is definitely my strong suit as an author. I've got this whole plotline mapped out, the pacing's got momentum like a runaway freight train, and the story arcs? chef's kiss They actually go somewhere, imagine that! But let's talk about update stability, because oof. 3/5 stars, and I'm being generous to myself here. These chapters are thicc, and between real-life responsibilities and my apparent inability to write anything shorter than a novella per update, we're looking at anywhere from a week (when the stars align) to a month (when life decides to play whack-a-mole with my writing schedule). The verdict: This is my first rodeo in terms of actually putting my work out there, and you know what? I'm just proud I finally did it instead of letting it gather dust in my "maybe someday" folder. It's like jumping into a pool - sure, maybe I belly-flopped, but at least I'm swimming!

Reveal spoiler

A wonderful breath of fresh air, I hope to see more.

Only need to read the first chapter to know this will be absolute peak! keep cooking, author

too much drama bullsh— for my taste. but so far it's the best hsr fics I've ever read ngl. the updates schedule is a bit inconstant, but the chapter's quality and quantity is really great.

This is what it means to be "Honkai" HI3 is full of darkness but the light is always lit, shining, paving the way Star Rail is barely touched what it means for "Honkai" they didn't even let a single character, important one, die, there's less Honkai in star rail But this? This story is what it means, this is the Honkai that I know "Miracle" is a constant moving piece, when everything seems dire, when everything should end, there's always a hope, a miracle invoked Kiana went through so much, trials to the death, trials that managed her to invoke such miracle Honkai road is full of thorns, is not pretty, always stumbled, but there's always hope in the end, that why they walked, run through those roads Star rail is just red carpet I just need a better story update lol

One word "Amazing Story" truly unexpected ways to diverge a story

May all the beauty be blessed. It killed me. You totally took Depression Impact atmosphere and I love it so much. ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥヾ⁠(⁠*⁠’⁠Ｏ⁠’⁠*⁠)⁠/(⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠) Also, there is too many remarks for my taste, but also they helped a lot with understanding, when I was confused with those easter eggs and quotes here and there. But too many (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠)

Fantastic story. Easily the best Honkai Star Rail stories and one of the best stories I have ever read in general. I usually never drop a review, but with how great this fanfic was I just had to. Please keep updating, need more of this. 🙏🙏
