    Wow, this is amazing! Everyone in it has their own background and story!!! She's such a charming girl, with a strong inner core. No matter what, she always knows what she wants. Is the way of heaven always fair? No! She lured me in with her silly antics!! I originally read a novel, but it pulled me into this world without complaint, though the burden of saving the world fell on her shoulders. The later parts are a bit angsty (which was already quite angsty for me since I usually read happy endings). Ahhh, I can't get over it!

    With a rating of 9.6, the story is set in an ancient, fictional world with a touch of fantasy. It features demons and monsters, and the female protagonist goes from a rural area to building her own city. She has high combat skills and is surrounded by a group of good friends and hilarious animals (she's genuinely very funny). There are no awful family members (except for the uncle, who lives with the protagonist). Note that the female protagonist is around ten years old for most of the story. There is no romantic pairing in the main text. Initially, the female protagonist is not close to her family, but she gradually accepts them.
