I feel like I've read enough of this story to actually leave a detailed enough review, so attached is my not-so-initial opinion of this story. Writing Quality (5/5): I love how the author says that English is not her first author, but the writing is still very smooth to read and with little grammatical mistakes. I'm that type of reader to literally paragraph comment every little mistake I've observed, and honestly, I haven't had to do that here at all. There are variations in sentence patterns, showing and not telling, and really good descriptions that help me visualize the scene. Not to mention, I LOVE all the little extra scenes. They're literally soooo cute (and still help me understand the world/characters more). Stability of Updates (5/5) Story Development (5/5): It was honestly kind of surprising how there wasn't a single chapter that didn't have some form of action. It's what I expect of an adventure book but at the same time, one of the few books I found here that actually lives up to that expectation. Plus, at the same time, I don't really find it rushed, and everything happens at just the right pace. Character Design (5/5): Finally a "villainous" who doesn't try to somehow just become the FL of the story. Like bless, there's finally someone here with actually human reactions and logic??? Also, I really like the dynamics between Malaya and her family ^-^ The dialogue and the way they speak really give each of them some depth. World Background (5/5): It's definitely really clear that there was thought put into constructing this world. Special shoutout to all the magic levels. I read the glossary or the auxiliary chapters afterwards, and I was suddenly like omi this is geniusssss All in all a great read that lives up to it's name. There's no shady and forced romance, and Malaya really is the definition of rewriting your own future. I added the story to my library, and I think it's there to stay :D
