Aug 25, 2022I really enjoyed the characterization work Seny builds for Ayumi at the beginning because it's immediately understandable why she isn’t distressed to be in a brand new world. So many isekai start off with the person being pulled into a new world and the characters just start being part of the world and not worried about trying to get home. Ayumi is trying to find a way home but also a way to survive in this new world, and possibly a place to fit in that she's never felt before. This longing is a powerful motivator and a great execution of the isekai trope. One thing I didn't like was the narration. Ayumi narrates the story from the vantage of having already gone through this story. It starts off with giving us thoughts and inner monologue, which is helpful, but then it switches to "little did I know then" type of interjections with less helpful insights. Read Full Review
