Write a reviewHello everyone, I am the author of this work. I set out to write a fanfic that would be as faithful as possible to the original, all the while filling in some plot holes and creating interesting stories. Thank you all for reading, and please leave a review! Don't hesitate to offer your opinion, whether it be suggestions or criticisms.
Great concept, but the characters need to be fleshed out a bit more, the supporting cast mostly. There's no Harry Potter without Hermione and Ron. There's a lot of exposition, but it's done in a pretty interesting way. There's a lot of blanks on how magic works in the original, and the theories explored in this story fit in nicely. Final comment, the author expects the reader to have knowledge of every event going on in the story, but it's been a while since I've read the original.
When I first wrote my first review, the author had batch released the first book's worth of chapters. At first, I'd been a bit worried that this series would end too fast, since I'm used to Chinese HP fanfics with hundreds and hundreds of chapters, but it looks like each book will have more chapters, so I'm satisfied. The best part imo is still the OC Oleandra's relationship with her sister, Daphne. There's still plenty of world friendly lore, which I like. To finish my second review, I retract what I said about following the Harry Potter storyline too closely. Underrated, great read!
Ok, it's been a while since my first review. Most of my concerns have been addressed. There are more characters, though Harry and Tracey are still a little absent compared to Ron, Hermione and Daphne.
This book is the reason I even read on Webnovel right now; I really enjoy reading it, especially since everything else got boring for me.
The book is pretty good. All things considered, the only two problems I have with the book are 1 not defined emotional example' it is always daphne said or she said' The book never gives clear emotions this make the characters fell less alive and more like dolls this can be easily solved if the author just used more expressive writing example 'She asked with a playful smirk'. Two, the mc doesn't change the story in any meaningful way, making it seem that the character is just a self insert going through Harry Potter but it does offer its own insight and good world building so it does kinda make up for it another thing about this book is the pacing, the book is just from main story point to main story point no slice of life or side arc and I think that the book can benefit with a little side arc that makes the connections that the mc has more human because spoiler alert the death of Vivien did not hit hard because for us it was just a few interactions so we did not bond with the character but for the mc it was months hence the book would have benefited greatly by dveling more into that relationship before her death with a mini arc. The author sometimes forgets about characters. Hence, they have not been seen for a long time even tho they are hella interesting. chough Ginny chough But on a more positive note, the Romance with Tracy (suffering by the same development problem as above ) is pretty good. The only 2 instances in the book where they were romantic was very well done, so hats of to that. Writing 4/5 Story 5/5 Character Design 5/5 Character Development 3/5 Update Stability 5/5 World Background 6/5 ( The author adds their own twists and makes the world better, so 6 )

Reveal SpoilerOleandra dont carry the Story becase you dont get the Vibe she is Important in any way . Also her Runes seems supper op but the way she uses them seems lacking (yes she is 12 bohoo) . the Story dont click with me ,i realy want to like it cus i Like Daphne in Gerneral a Ton. Shame
overall this is a great book I love the writing style and the new characters I also like how it's parallel and the original book but now I've reached a point where it's probably going to Branch off and I can't wait to read more of the book when there's more chapters
5-4-4-5-5 I like it. Though there are way too many coincidences and questionable bouts of idiocy from the MC.
Alright, so here's my review after reading the first 109 chapters. The story starts off a little abruptly, but the story gets much deeper as you go on. The author's not scared of making some pretty original changes to the canon.. So the premise of the story is that Daphne Greengrass, one of the go-to characters fanfic writers turn to, has a twin sister named Oleandra. Basically, at first she's not really good at magic, but she's really good at rune magic. As far as progression fantasy goes, this is pretty great. Oleandra starts off weak, and gets stronger and stronger as she learns new applications of her magic, synchronized with the main plot of HP. Apart from that, the plot runs deeper than it first appears. There's foreshadowing hidden in plain sight. All in all, I love it. 5/5
heres the 5 stars author the stry is quite nice just keep going and you will have a great story
it's a good story with a well written plot, I usually don't read original charecter MC's but this one is quite good
Overall, I would have to say that the story is well written, the main character is enjoyable, although she does act her age, so that can cause some annoyance at times. She is also slightly a product of her upbringing, but as time goes on, she is maturing as a character. Personally, I think the story is worth checking out if you want an enjoyable read with a character who uses a unique form of magic.

I think this novel's greatest point is the way it introduces a brand new power system that doesn't conflict in any way with Harry Potter's world. From what I can tell, it's based on real life Nordic lore. The MC's rune powers are incredibly interesting for two reasons; they're not OP, and they have very strict limitations, but she uses them in interesting ways. The story seems to be closely following Harry Potter's own path, so I have to question why the MC wasn't put into Gryffindor. Still, the plot points still make sense, and characters act like they should. I'm also a fan of the writing style, the funny little analogies, and the MC's thought process. Her interactions with her sister are amusing. All in all, great story with great potential
