A story of a strong (apparently also famous) female adventurer who seems to be a bit of a workaholic hahaha. Anyway, so what about the crusty crispy? Stability of updates... no complains xD Story development, it looks good so far, but that pace can be hard to maintain sometimes. So careful with it. Character Design. Hum, I'm having a bit of an issue with that. I think it's because they look too anime-like to me (and I like animes). W. Background. I do not allow myself to judge that until I reach around chapter 50 of a story. So I'll give you the benefice of the doubt because it looks okay so far, five stars. Writing quality. That's where I had the most issue with. There are grammar issues peppered throughout the chaps that can sometimes hinder the readability. Also an abuse of "The" to start your sentences. Be wary of that. Anyway, keep up the good work author

Great fantasy pick. The story is about our mysterious capable SSS rank adventure mc who is famous for being independent throughout the empire. But one day she mets this guy Ryan who doesn't know how capable she is. He loves to poke his nose in other people's businesses and same way he asks mc if he could join her on mission. With mc's agreement their journey of adventure begins with mc's past following her throughout her journey with this strange guy. Writing Quality - It's good, grammarly might help you further. but overall it was great. Story development - It kind of feels slow at start but it's need for world building and to give readers the time to get absorbed in the story world. Character design - The mc is mysterious yet she has a human side. Ryan feels like a open book but there is a possibility of seeing more depth of his character. World background - It resemble the normal fantasy adventure guide type setting but of high quality. The efforts author put into world building is visible. Will I recommend this? Yeah, it has fantasy, mystery, capable female lead, funny ml. It's good read for people who loves this genre. It kind of gives the feel that it can satisfy both male female audience but I will still think of it as female leading. Keep up good work author 😊👍.

The first handful of chapters act as a good hook to the story, adding mystery and intrigue while revealing a lot of key information. For me, the writing was the weakest part. Objectively, it's fine. But my issue comes from two things: I don't personally like present tense; and all speech was formal which I find jarring. Overall a good start, I'd recommend.

Here are my thoughts about this novel based from what I read so far: World Building: The world-building so far it's quite fine especially on the atmosphere level especially on the describing the people that inside the guild look's like. However, I am sorry to say this, but I think you should more detailed about the location and the world itself to make it more interesting. Character: So far I do like the female MC, Scarelt Overhand give some mysterious vibe especially with her demeanor which is a great thing. But, I do believe they will be a further development of her character in the future and expansion of her mysterious attitude. As for the side character, they are all fine and distinct with one another. Overall, that's all I have to say about this novel and thank you very much. Keep up the good work!!!

Everything about this novel grabbed me. The cover is just *Chef's kiss*, the synopsis was AMAZING..never have I been pulled into a book by just the synopsis. It was a such a tease. The author clearly knows what she is doing lol. The novel itself didn't disappoint, I enjoyed the chapters I read thus far. But why did Scarlet make the guy almost wet his pants in the first chapter 😂😂. This review is too long sorry but I can't help it, this novel is an A+++. I foresee only success for this novel.

This book is awesome. I'm a sucker for a mysterious and brooding main character and a happy-go-lucky side character who can never read the room. Often makes for great comedic moments in an otherwise serious novel.

I've read a few chapters and so far it's good! The FL is very mysterious, which I love. The author took time in honing the world building. I think it still needs minor polishing but I'm sure the author would get into it. A great adventured themed story~

The story starts off in a very intriguing way. Our FL is very mysterious and apparently famous. Can't wait to find out more about her story, past and goals. The ML is cute and silly so far, but also endearing. Hope to see more of their interactions. The story is good and has potential. Apart from some small things that will be bettered after an edit I would definitely give this a read! Keep up the good work! 🥰

It's my second time reviewing it after reading through 23 Chaps :) Good improvement with the writing quality. Most lapses have been cleared which improved the readability. Reason why I don't binge-read it is because updates are quite slow the past days. I understand the author needed to clean up and edit the pats chaps so that's good enough and am sure can bounce back to more stable updates. Story development was a little slow-paced at the start but it became thrilling in the middle part around Chap 12. That's where most actions happen. I noticed the flashback with the other character was for the purpose of narration. I would recommend though to introduce flashbacks only when the story plot requires it so the reveal would have a stronger impact. World BG so far is so good. Author is able to connect the broad fantasy world. That's challenging following a monarch style world. Keep it up!

I like the pacing of the story. It is not too fast and just right for me to take in all the scenes inside my head. The author's naming sense is also good. I can't help but think the name Alexa for the person-in-charge at the guild reception really suited her haha. I'm looking forward to this because I like fantasy worlds like this thanks to all those animes I watched. Keep up the good work!

This story quickly got readers attention. It has less description than I'd fancy but I won't hold that against you because I can tell your writing story is different than mine. But the amount of description here still exceeds that of most Web Novel works tbh. The writing style makes for an easy read. It's entertaining and the world building is legit. I'll give you 5 stars.

A gripping tale so far, I am thoroughly enjoying it. The characters are very intriguing, and well fleshed out, as well as the world they are in. Hearing about the guild and the rankings etc, makes me want to know more about how the world works. The prose flows nicely, the descriptions are clear and sharp, well communicated. The chapter length is good, and the pacing keeps the reader on the edge of their seat to read more. Keep up the good work, enjoying it so far! Check it out.

Those who have ever played the Tomb Raider games or watched the movies will instantly become attached to the story. To me it's totally like Lara Croft in a fantasy world setting and I always wanted to read it as a story. So thanks author for making my wish come true..hehe... I think the world design is a bit same as all the other fantasy worlds. So I would really love to see if the author introduces something new. And if a little more depth is added to the characters I think with the plot line and writing style of yours it will really become mind-blowing.

I always believe that female lead novels shouldn't show ladies as weak and easily swayed by their hearts. Instead they should show the strength in each woman and emphasize on that. Women aren't weak, in fact I know as a doctor that women can tolerate much pain than men. They also face a lot of challenges compared to any man. Life isn't fair to girls, and in return that makes any girl a force that you can't toy with. I strongly support your work and hopefully more like this would emerge. Highly recommended novel, and I'm pretty sure it will suit the taste of any reader. Thanks for writing this piece of art.

I think this is the first time I read a novel that have good spacing between paragraphs, and italic words! Author, whatever magic you did, do tell, lol?! Well, then first I will talk about the writing quality. Which in this case is definitely not an issue. There's little to no grammar mistake. But I did find, one to two sentence that sound kind of weird. I think it's just the way the author worded her/his sentence. As for world background, somehow, I was expecting more information about it within the first to three chapters. But it took awhile, in chapter 11 and onward for the world background to become clearer. As for character design, I think the author did threw the reader, me, in a scramble. Since at the beginning the author did not use the main character name. Instead, the author use the term 'woman' to refer to the main character, and even her face is cover. But I assume, the author did it for reasons such as suspense, mystery, and for later purpose. Onward to story development, the pacing is not fast nor slow, except, for the romance...lol, I think for me it's kind of slow. But I feel like the romance is not a big part of the novel, just sometime to sweeten it. As for the main focus is probably on the main character, Scarlette's past as the author obviously stated: "What is the secret behind her name" and her journey. Lastly, update. I didn't see the author note in comment or synopsis his/her schedule. Which I think will attract more reader if the author does have one. But in overall, great job! Keep up the good work! Fighting!
