He tore goblins apart by hand before collecting any corpses. Hmmm...

GigaChad game devs:
Step 1) make impossibly hard game
Step 2) let people die a million times in it
Step 3) release paid DLC where you get stronger by absorbing the power of your previous lives' abilities and stats
Step 4) ???
Step 5) Refuse to elaborate and Profit

Oh for crying out loud. The translations are now nothing but Yaksha scans or Filmywalah. Can we go back to when we waited for the good translation?

There is a possibility he gets it back. He got back his sword, why not the rest of his gear?

Wait, hold on...

He remembers?

I'm so happy it did. I imagined he would be like "Come here" and it would go to him, but close enough.

Contrary to some beliefs, I don't think this was axed. Maybe a bit rushed but like... where do you think this is gonna go? The intended story has been completed and that's about it. Everything else is a victory lap where Ms. Main Character is effectively Superman following a very simple program:
10 see problem
20 solve problem (effortlessly)
30 go to 10

It's a cute little read at 43 chapters - maybe skip Chapter 0: Prologue.

It has a bunch of generic tropes:
1) These characters are around 10 years old, no really, and have about three careers-worth of life experience with them. It's absurd, but this very common in Japanese works, so don't be surprised.
2) Romance is a complete joke... literally. It follows the standard formula of "there's no way they actually love me. They're just being nice friends." Then you remember that they're like 9 or 10 years old and get creeped out a little.
3) Poorly written details. One of the biggest arcs comes down to "sheer stupidity because I said so." Taking misunderstandings from a silly comedy bit -> and blowing it up to be THE biggest cause of a REALLY IMPORTANT arc is... well, it's pathetic. I hate this.
It happens late enough for you to already be absorbed by the work, but I was really considering dropping it.

What about the rest? The art is nice and characters are cute. The intended plot is well executed except that one hiccup. The main thing that really raises the quality of this work is just how much Ms. Main Character LOVES the characters of the world and despite being desperate to avoid danger, she throws herself into danger to save these characters that she loves.

Overall, a nice 6/10.
Would've been a 7/10 if the biggest and most important arc was handled better - or that weapon she gets is EVER used properly - but alas, 6/10.
I'm not IGN so that's a decent score. It's not a long read and it is complete so you can finish it in a day.

If you want more of this - where the Villainess loves the cast with all her heart and it reflects really well in her actions, I recommend:

WELL THAT WAS SHORT!

Uhhhh.... uhhh.... for 7 years? So... there was no time skip? She was still 9 at the time of all that stuff from the previous arc?

Also, and I can't stress this enough, there are other people in the world. Make new friends.

"Okay, we're just gonna start banging you over the head with this crowbar; say "when" as soon as everything makes sense!"
Still pathetic story telling. I mean come on...

She doesn't even need the axe to murderererererize literally every one around her upon being arrested. She can casually use and maintain tier 7 magic - invisibility. She doesn't need the disguise either, she can go invisible!

Ah... when stupid misunderstandings that were made for comedy -> end up causing a huge arc.

See, this is how you know the author has no idea on how to write up a proper story. Pathetic.

Casual reminder that Ms. Main Character can literally suplex anyone she wants.

Ya know, she never claimed she wasn't playing favorites. People are inherently biased and she is what? 12? or something like that? On top of that, so what if she is? Not to mention - time to mention it -> she has the backing of a prince and princess soooooooo unlike being a misery guts like you, if she succeeds, the disease could be cured as long as mana donations consistently happen. The rest of the cure seems to be of minor concern compared to the mana of 1,000 people.

Also yeah, don't drop the fact he's a commoner. Tell people who ask two things:
1) "he is someone I've deemed worth of this"
and 2) "if this succeeds, then no one has to die from this disease ever again. If this happens to you or someone you love, it would be great news compared to being told "it's incurable, go pick a coffin" or something"

In all honesty, I doubt the Pride Squadron would've had any chance against the two of them (if Mr. Main Character didn't poof for an hour).

OH MY

Time skip? How old are they?

Mr. Main Character can read your mind-chat dude.

2/2
One more, with a bit more relevance? The Religious Organizations. Keep in mind that Religious Organizations are different from Religions. The people who lead the organizations tend to be corrupt because they were installed there by someone else - like a monarch, or government official -> to help maintain control and authority. As upsetting as it may be, there has to be a question of "just how did such a horrible group become so popular that they're a full-blown religion and have tons of people's faith?" The answer is obvious: the horrible group didn't start the religion, they invaded it. Think of how Elon Musk took over Tesla and that should paint the entire picture. Religion has a comfortable position and the Religious Organizations that formed should exist to help the people -> but due to the invasion, these organizations just want authority.

Testing if a Religion is valid isn't important. If you can, in one command, get everyone to join or quit a religion, then you have more authority than the King himself because he can't do that. So, don't waste your time.
The real test that matters is aimed at the Religious Organizations and their Leaders. World's simplest test: put a group of people in a moment of crisis to see what they'll do. Like in this chapter, instead of adapting to the situation, listening to experts (the doctor) and doing whatever they can to help -> this Religious Organization decided to refuse it all, call it blasphemy and displayed their position that they're demanding to uphold their established rules -> even if it meant that people would constantly die from illness.

And that's what we're seeing here, in a nutshell. We have all four groups in one room discussing what can be done and the person with the highest authority, the King, made the decision. This is why he is King. No one even asked the masses what they thought because this is all just to control them anyway. In fact, the only reason this meeting is happening is because if we show that we care too little, we'll lose control.

It comes down to control.
Who wants control? Big Business! Merchants LOVE to force their authority in places they got no business in -> by threatening with business. "Oh my... well, we kinda had a plan to expand the project of building roads to include your city, but the way you're acting is dissuading me from supporting it. Meanwhile, *name of nearby rival city* sure has shown great support." Something like that anyway. Fun fact: China is doing this very thing in Africa in the real the world right now - it is near the end of 2024 when I'm posting this. Any and all objections that China receives from anywhere in Africa is met with an effective threat of "YOU WANT US TO STOP BUILDING THESE ROADS? NO? THEN SHUT UP AND KISS MY FEET!" China is not their friend.

Who else? The Monarchy. We CONSTANTLY see characters - especially kids - of nobility act like "ugh, I hate it when I get treated as something special. Why can't they treat me normally for two seconds?" Because that's the law. A law your ancestors put in place and constantly use to maintain control over these people. Your objections to this is seen as a child being stupid and aren't properly taken as anything more than a puff of air that matters very little. They will treat you with respect and they will bow to your authority. The Monarchy is not your friend.

Furthermore, this applies to all other nobles. Why do they look down on "the common folk?" Same reason as the monarchy, they create and put up rules to give themselves massive favor and prevent their authority from the danger of being lost. It isn't just classism or racism for the sake of it. When a rich kid is like "lol, you common folk are so stupid. Can't even do this obvious thing you can do but won't prove me wrong because that would break the rules? el oh el this is why we nobles are so superior!" <- this is a direct result of them trying to protect what they have. The moment their rules and authority are shattered, they'll lose everything. This is also why they tend to have lots of kids so if any of them die, they were just a sacrifice that can be used to reinforce the rules. They'll cry or whatever -> but it isn't like it really matters to them.
