The protagonist is an Elf, and she can hear the voices of nature. So when she cuts down a tree, that tree will scream in pain. When she picks herbs, they start crying. It's funny, yet somehow very sad.

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.

If you are interested in a typical fantasy story about an OP MC, then this novel is for you. Summary below.

Story: As for the novel's plot, there isn't anything new or innovative as far as fantasy novels go, but overall it's a smooth read with many interesting components that will keep you reading. The story follows the typical tropes of reincarnation: saving people with your OP skills, becoming an adventurer, and living somewhat peacefully with fights here and there. What sets this apart from other fantasy novels is that, rather than having a main villain, the MC decides her own adventures, so there will be many large and small storylines throughout the novel.

Characters: For the most part, they are fine, but as the story mostly revolves around our MC, there isn't much character development for other characters besides the MC, and most characters seem one-dimensional at times, but saying there isn't any character development would be wrong. Usually, characters start strong with their introduction but pretty quickly become MC hypemen in a way.

Art: The art in this novel is pretty good. There are lots of character portraits and vistas.

Summary: A typical fantasy story with the same tropes as others but with many interesting storylines. Good MC but not great side characters. Amazing art. Overall, it's better than most reincarnation novels but suffers from being more of the same (7/10).
