Über diesen Titel
Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand system governing classes, skills, and magic.
An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel?
Adventures? Right this way!
A grand quest? Nah.
Friends and loot? Heck yes!
Humans are the top dog? Nope; dinosaur food.
Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her.
Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move....

Pro: main character has clearly limited skillset. Magic system and world building good. Society makes life hard even in peaceful times for Alaine, a female character in a pre-modern-world. Reincarnation knowledge limited by Gods, making Alaine not unrealisticly knowledgeable solving everything like other Isekai stories. People die in this story, even important friends/family aren't safe.
Cons: slow start, sometimes too much statsheets etc, sometimes imagined problems by alaine, that aren't real (though annoying at times, in character to the mental age concept)
I won't go further into detail for spoiler reasons, but I especially appreciate the currently latest books (8-9),and how they progressed the story with a smart timeskip. If you enjoy Isekai/Fantasy story's with magic, where the main character is powerful, but has to struggle a lot to survive and prosper, then this is a good series of books for you.
Good. But slow and annoying start.

At first I thought this wouldn't really catch my interest, as the start felt like a very easy middle grade / YA sort of LitRPG that just lacked a bit of... I don't even know what exactly. It just felt a bit shallow.
We have a girl from our world reborn into a gaming system world, and she retains some of her memory. I found it so weird how she is a small kid, with some knowledge of a 14 year old, but then she throws a tantrum like a toddler.
Though I could understand the tantrum, given that it was at the utterly unfair sexism she meets in this new world. Women are more or less married off, and then belong to their husband in a way. They also can't become citizens, and their husbands have the last say over what stats and skills they shall level.
Oh and there's slavery, even though it's not "for life", but for specific amounts of time, either as punishment, or if you sell yourself into slavery for money.
Both of these, plus reading about another woman being violently beaten by her husband for "not being in the mood" when she didn't feel well at all, just contrasted really badly with the sorta fluffy YA tone and style, and so it was a bit of a bumpy start for me.
After a while the story takes a new direction though, and from there on I really quite enjoyed it! Our main character grows up a bit, and we leave for an adventure, which also means we leave the city and its problems behind.
I really enjoyed the characters and the way they all interacted with each other as a team! It reminded me a bit about The Wandering Inn and the mix of darker and grittier content with light and fun bits as well, and a lot of banter.
As the rough patches were all at the start, I did end on a high note, and will definitely consider to read more in the series!
Rough start, good end!

I love the Story set-up and the way the main character is just trying her best to make the best of her life the world that is not always fair.
Great Book

The main character is a woman in a society based on ancient Rome, where slavery is ubiquitous, and women are considered add-ons to a man, if they are lucky. What does a morally upstanding person do in such a place? Why, become a cop who enforces the laws of this despicable state, of course! At least that's how our main character sees it.
She pays lip service to ideals of freedom, and self determination, but doesn't do anything to live up to those ideals until an opportunity falls into her lap through dumb luck. She's essentially an apathetic white liberal cop in a state that I hesitate to call fascist only because that label isn't commonly applied to anything prior to the early 20th century.
To be clear, this isn't framed as a bad thing. The main character is consistently described as a basically good person. Her doing her part to put down slave rebellions is a background detail that's mentioned once, in passing, as if that isn't completely fucked up.
Ultimately, all these details just grated too much to enjoy everything else about the story, and I had to drop it.

*contains spoiler*
I love stories about reincarnation and I don't expect an imba character, because it doesn’t leave much room for character growth, but at least a little bit of maturity and intelligence would be nice here. The MC reincarnated with the condition of only keeping a part of her memories. Sadly, she’s acting like a real child. The MC is in a body of a 8th year old, should have a mind of 28, but acts like 10. It leaves me complaining about her immature behavior, since she should know so much better. Only after 2/3 of the book we get the explanation about the MC’s brain being one of a literal child. This should be put at the beginning of the book. It makes me question the plot about reincarnation, since the only thing the MC uses is her biology knowledge and telling fairytales.
The MC has zero awareness (like a mayfly) or interest about the world she lives in, is constantly surprised about culture etc, has many questions but never DOES anything to get answers. Later she breaks into the library however the only thing we know is her complaining about the lack of fictional books. In addition, we’ll never know WHAT she read but nothing groundbreaking, cause otherwise it should have been mentioned.
Another let down is the oppression of women. It could be a good plot (which I was looking forward to) but the author didn't exploit its real potential. Every person has super powers and women just resign to their fate, the only little rebellion being some secret skills which men don’t know. I can't imagine a society where 50% of mankind are suppressed and not even a single countermovement, secret organization or another underground structure exists. It feels like the world building needs some more focus here.
The skills are also quite exhausting to listen to (audiobook). It's like a pathfinder character sheet where every single action gets a skill and every lvl has to be announced separately. Summoning it up would make leveling up much nicer.
All in all I wouldn’t recommend this book, only if you have really nothing else to read.
This reincarnation doesn't work for me
