Story: This story is one of those "game + isekai" light novels. But the author is certainly not a mindless amateur that simply copies the trend. The author has the skill to turn this novel into something extraordinary. Even starting the story with the protagonist "waking up in a game" after a whopping 200 years, so the game world has already gone through a global revolution. No demon king, and no goal to save the world. The protagonist is simply trying to find 12 hidden buildings, built by people she used to know, scattered around the world. Not because someone asked her to. She does is because she's just that bored and has nothing better to do. While some readers might be disappointed that there's no clear point to this story, I enjoy this kind of adventure.
The world itself though, is absolutely amazing. Yes we have the classics. Adventurer's Guild, Magic Academy, and an Inn with a young girl working there. We know all this shit from other stories. But, heed my words! In this light novel, these typical "events" are all very different from what you might be used to. Thus making this story worthy of being called "Original".
Art: NO ECCHI / NO FAN SERVICE!!! The protagonist is an Elf girl. But not a loli, and not sexy with big boobs and slutty clothes, it's a normal girl that wear realistic clothes! The illustrations are very high quality, but the character designs as a whole is just so good. Humans and Non-Humans, monsters, and talking walls, every single thing has a great design. It's not just beautiful, it's so much more. The combat looks freaking cool, the women are beautiful in a wholesome way, and there's some really funny pictures as well. So, when I looked at the profile for the artist and saw that he's drawn hentai, damn was I surprised.
Characters: (minor spoilers from volume one, please skip the "characters" section to avoid) Okay so, the Protagonist is an Elf, 200+ years old. And she is without a doubt my favorite elf character. She's not too exaggerated, but instead feels realistic and relatable. She is the typical good girl that wants to help anyone that need help and so on. But the thing that's so hilarious is the simple fact that this protagonist has three children, all of which are adults. And these characters are all such a big part of the comedy in the novels. It makes it all so different from everything else that I've read. The children is seriously all grown up and live their own lives. So when the protagonist wakes up after 200 years and goes on her journey and finally meets them again, it makes me realize that this is a character type I've always wanted. And without spoiling too much, but it's so well written, the chemistry between the family and the situations that pops up, it really is unique. I've never read anything like this before, but I love it.
Overall. It's funny, it's interesting, and it's beautiful. It's Goddamn Spectacular.
Also, as a gamer, I love the mentality of the protagonist. She has a similar style to me as when I play games. I mean, I love Momonga, but as a gamer he is really flawed. Kirito is a horrible player as well. But this protagonist however, is a gamer I would actually want to play with.
