It is fun. The tone is mostly cutesy light-hearted fun. An OP AF cute girl protagonist tries to appear as a reasonably strong sword princess NPC to be adored by future players because it sounds cool. With many notable knights being quirky idiots doting on cute MC, and other more serious characters focusing on main storyline while occasionally being the quirky idiots themselves.

Yes, there are major conflicts/storylines behind all that and MC actually work toward setting up for the future major conflicts. But, she is quite a bit whimsical about... more>> it because she is OP AF. She just wanted to be the cute and cool sword princess to guide cute newbies to clear the challenges. MC is more worried about ruining the characters, or not having good newbies than actually defeating the end game crisis. <<less

One of the things I really like about this novel is how it handles an overpowered protagonist. Sisilia is absurdly strong, yet she's restrained. She doesn't just rampage through enemies without consequences. Even though she could end fights instantly, doing so would lead to collateral damage and loss of innocent lives. She values human life, not in a saintly way, but with compassion.... more>> It's rare to see an MC who acknowledges the weight of their power instead of just steamrolling everything.

Another thing that makes Sisilia stand out is that she has no grand ambitions, nor does she seek an ordinary life. She doesn't fight for ideals, she fights because she enjoys the experience of living. She finds amusement in the interactions, emotions, struggles, and victories that come with life. She doesn't crave fame or power (though she craves for money, because even she can't escape poverty, and she easily gets scammed), nor does she belittle herself. In a way, she's humble, yet undeniably confident (she's a narcissist). Her eccentricity makes the story refreshing, even with its clichés.

Sisilia's roleplay as a perfect Sword Maiden is honestly one of the funniest aspects of the novel. Outwardly, she's cold and stoic, but deep down, she's soft. Then there's her bratty, mischievous, ruthless, and random-bullshit-go side. She even has a weird obsession of being praised by newbies. She's a walking contradiction, and that's what makes her so entertaining to follow.

She's also a true gamer. The novel includes pop culture and game references, including Dark Souls, which fits her playstyle perfectly. She even lied about having a tragic backstory to justify killing demons, when the real reason is just to level up. The way she approaches demon hunting is basically MMORPG Among Us mode. No system, no special ability, just raw deduction and skill. She can tell a demon apart in three minutes and executes them on the spot. The people around her? Shocked. Then double shocked when she's right. She isn't arrogant, just incredibly confident, with the skill to back it up.

I won't dive too deep into worldbuilding since there aren't many chapters yet, but the side characters? They're great. There's a lot of them, and each one feels distinct. They're not just background NPCs; they have their own personalities, goals, and actions that naturally affect the story. There are some misunderstandings and convenient plot devices, but the author keeps them balanced instead of overusing them.

This novel isn't just a munchkin power fantasy, it's more like a slice-of-life with mystery and weird antics. The character dynamics, especially the father-daughter relationship between Sisilia and Cairon, are really enjoyable.

Despite being compassionate toward people, Sisilia is ruthless toward demons. This isn't some morally grey thing, it's because demons are demons. They're like the ones in Frieren: deceptive, manipulative, and dangerous, with unique abilities that make them terrifying. In fact, Sisilia reminds me a lot of Frieren herself, cold, stoic, hiding her true power, merciless against demons, and slowly growing through her journey. The difference is that Sisilia is already emotional, she just hides it behind her Sword Maiden roleplay.

PS. I found it hilarious that Sisilia made a sword technique that resembles a Domain Expansion. There's even the guaranteed hit effect. There are even authorities and divine protections (Blessings) like Re:Zero... Authority of Deception? Blessing of Elasticity? It's really diverse. <<less

This novel is really fun. The main character is a veteran player in a dying game who, after finishing the game alone, gets transported into its world by the goddess. Reborn as a six-year-old girl, she decides to join the knights. After a ten-year timeskip, she waits for the day the game's story starts, when new players show up.

The best part of the story is the main character's carefree attitude. She does whatever she wants and enjoys her new life. Her love for hunting demons makes her create a sad... more>> backstory about her family being killed, just to give a reason to fight them. She also dreams of acting as the strongest sword maiden, so she hides her power to avoid rising in rank too fast, as that would change her nickname—something she really wants to keep.

Her interactions and inner thoughts are funny, as her calm and impressive outside look is completely different from her playful and selfish inner world. This mix makes her character charismatic and fun to read.

In the end, I suggest ignoring any thoughts you have from the plain title and description. Try this novel out, and you might really enjoy it. <<less

This is great! Ignore the generic title-this story is truly excellent. The concept of the MC being an NPC is exactly what I've been looking for. The MC's slightly narcissistic personality keeps the story from feeling stiff and adds a layer of humor.

What I like the most is the interaction between the MC and Cairon, her adoptive father. Their conversations are absolute gems-MC's somewhat idiotic remarks contrast perfectly with Cairon's serious demeanor. For example, when Cairon calls MC to his office, MC immediately suspects an arranged marriage and threatens to... more>> run away. Cairon denies it with a reaction like, "I would never marry you off to anyone, " which adds to his overprotective fatherly side.

The novel feels refreshing and delivers a solid medieval atmosphere. The world-building is well-done, especially for a Korean isekai novel (not to be dismissive). Action fans will enjoy this as well-MC doesn't hesitate to kill when necessary. She would have killed the prince without a second thought if the prince hadn't confirmed his betrayal beforehand.

The mystery is genuinely difficult to predict-I was completely misled about the real traitor.

In short, this is a great story, and I highly recommend it. However, my review might be biased, so I suggest reading at least ten chapters to see if it suits your taste. <<less

never wrote a review but I will now because from the title I expected garbage but instead got a nice treat. Now is this a perfect fic no but is it better then 90% of the fics here? Well maybe dunno but only 30 chapters in it is quite promising!

It's the typical OP MC that is hiding their strength and it should really have a comedy tag tbh vaguely similar to eminence in shadow but female.

But look what makes this good is really just the fact that the side character... more>> feel more real and are written better then most the slop on this website and the fact that the MC's reasoning is pretty funny, she just really wants them newbies to glaze her is that really hard to ask?

Also in some of the action parts MC is actually pretty cold would be even cooler if her inner monologue didn't make me shake my head.

Also Also as for the GenderBender tag I am pretty sure authors do it in stories to give the Protag a reason for having masculine Leanings and being cool even though they are female or not have an interest in men romantically so yeah as for most Genderbenders after the 1st chapter it's a useless tag

So in conclusion after 30 chapters if you want a fic with a bit of comedy some cool action and a dash of of intrigue well why not give it a try? <<less
