Tentative rating, decent enough to continue reading but too early for a definitive rating. Ignore the reviews spouting junk about gender. (&Amp; Seigin they're monster insects. A 30 feet tall spider monster would be pretty freaky even if you didn't fear insects. Especially if you accidentally get an eye full due to your observation cheat. I find it stranger than more MCs don't get surprised/mildly shocked when they face Cthulhu like abominations/demons since most people tend to squirm just watching a gruesome accident IRL.) 1) Nobody knows how people will react to actually changing gender. Especially since nobody IRL has been forced to change genders, let alone race. Most likely said reaction will depend significantly on the personality of whoever is being gender bent. Also keep in mind he changed into an ELF, they're known for their low libido/birthrates. If you want to read that kind of stuff, go read some gender bender smut. 2) This is a slice of life story about an adventure weary MC who wants to live a quiet life without rocking the boat. Sort of like the generic "become a blacksmith/shopkeep/hunter/etc" that other reincarnation/fantasy novel MCs end up being after "The Quest" is complete. Here the MC has fallen in love with the simple receptionist life. (Which is pretty much a perfect fit for her.) This is especially evident in vol 1 where she does things to keep the status quo such as maintaining the ecosystem in mind (wants former comrades to not cause damage to the forest), keeping cheat information/knowledge from people (to watch the choices people make on their own but preventing them from rashly wasting their lives.) I'd argue this sort of novel is a more accurate depiction of fantasy/reincarnation novels. More people prefer to be an office worker instead of a firefighter risking their lives every day. Likewise most people would probably settle down instead of continuing to hunt down demon gods if they didn't have to. 3) I'd argue this is a more entertaining read that her exploits because she's so high spec/OP that most, if not all encounters would just end in a crushing victory for the MC. It's more interesting to see how she has to deal with raising a fantasy child (dragon kid), love advances (literally has to tone down her cheat level charm), dealing with others (reformation of assassins), and raising heroes to keep the balance (former comrades).
c2~~80%:
~10+% of the chapter is writing about how awesome MC is + some random 1 sentences nostalgias you have no idea what to do.
Story is too overcomplicated. I have no idea who knows what and why except MC knows everything. conclusion:
mehh...
MC is the Japanese dream? HE is "Super Polite" everywhere, every-time, in every situation and emotionless?
Story is complicated and unfunny. (Damn you fake female protagonist!!!!)
Original story with world transfer, world build, taming, yuri... Bit strangly, even thought it's a gender bender, it's like the past life of our protagonnist never happened... Look forward for more yuri, 5/5
A) Reincarnated/Summoned MC and others from Japan (Everyone reincarnates from there),
B) Stories starts with MC tasked with destroying current Demon Lord (which either MC accepts or rejects, which he will still do it either way through fate),
C) Depending on the route, the story starts off with an either dramatic tragedy or harem-filled comedy journey on a way to defeat said Demon Lord with a few twist here and there.
And the list goes on... However, this story instead opts for the rarely written Post-Life Situation. So lets take a look at a few points which is based on my personal review. A) Storyline/Plot ~ 3.5 / 5.0
I sincerely love the way the story progress with its Slice-Of-Life Genre and how it describe the world which the MC lives in. While putting aside the RPG-like system that the worlds run, the story progression slowly unfolds as the chapters progresses. Undeniably, they doesn't seem to be any clear plot on what is going to happen other than hints which are revealed in certain chapters which can be exciting, but can be a turn-off since it feels they are a lot of filler stories placed. Overall, it's a more suited and a great read for those seeking a light-hearted fantasy story and would't mind the fillers being placed. B) Characters ~ 4.5 / 5.0
First and foremost, the MC is an Elf, a Female Elf to be precise which makes it unique and appealing in a certain way. And yes, the MC is OP and almost God-Like strong that you think she would be eliminating foes with ease and gets pulled into politics between kingdoms and such (Typical Hero Problem). Instead, it goes the other way round. Ilya Schultz (Name of MC), takes the backseat by acting more as a Adviser/Mentor to many while using her unique abilities only for certain situation, albeit in a subtle manner. Not only that, the author nudges the fact that having OP MC has it's up and downs in the fantasy world, which is shown through Ilya thoughts at some point of the story. Lastly, the development of the MC is most interesting as the story progresses. As you read through the chapters, small bits of Ilya backstory is revealed when meeting new characters and such. This lead to the notion of How Was Ilya Past exactly? Since we know little of her other than the fact that she works as the receptionist in a guild. To sum, Ilya past is one which is full of mystery and speculation that intrigues us to know more about her. The only downside is the other characters so far introduced and developed in the story seems bland by nature (and too fast) which I hope will improve as the story progresses. C) Writing Style ~ 4.0 / 5.0
Straightfoward and easy to understand. This is one of the reason why the fillers introduced in the story feels vibrant and its almost easy to illustrate it many of the scenes using just our imagination. To conclude, the series is great for those looking for something different from the mainstream and wants something more light-hearted, with focus on a role which is usually not depicted in may novels and literature and also give a sense of mystery regarding the MC despite being OP. *P.S. While the tags does say Gender-Bender, it seems the MC has spend so many years as a Female Elf that she (or he?) has probably grown accustomed to it. So depiction of what you expect for a Gender-Bender Series is limited at best, but still interesting to read when it does happen.
