[Warning: This novel has a very high female-to-male character ratio and focuses on a female ensemble. Supporting characters have a fairly large role. There is no rivalry between women over men. If you dislike that, don't read.]
Introductory blurb:
"Do not listen to mermaids sing, for they lure sailors to drown in the deep sea.
Do not track the footsteps of werewolves, for they tear hunters to pieces.
Do not touch mysterious witches, for taboos cling to every inch of them.
Do not look into the eyes of the blood clan, for their crimson eyes foretell a tragic fate..." - Song of the Miracle Continent
Deep in the magical forest live mysterious, forbidden witches, untouchable beneath their wide black cloaks.
Experienced adventurers warn every newcomer:
"If you meet a woman with purple eyes wearing a black cloak in the forest, run. Run with all your might."
Because the forest witches kill anyone who disturbs their peace.
Lina, a legendary forest witch, is having a breakdown.
"Why can't witches just stay in the forest, play with magical beasts and tend magical plants?! Why do we have to explore the human world?!"
To complete her teacher's task, Lina uses a potion to hide the signs of being a witch and enters the human world.
The witch's trial, exploring the human world, begins.
One-line romance blurb:
I prayed to the Goddess of Fate, willing to offer her everything, if only she would let the violet-eyed girl from deep in the forest appear before me once more.
[Chaotic-good witch heroine vs. aloof, lovesick human hero]
The romance is pure sweetness, with no misunderstandings or love rivals. There is a pursuit-and-reconciliation arc. A simple, sweet romance.
Plot: She studies at a magic academy in the first half, then the setting changes as she travels across the continent.
[The author's writing is still amateurish, but they're working hard to improve. If that bothers you, don't read.]
Content warnings: 1. Multiple couples, including a minor female-female side couple (very little plot time).
Theme: True love can overcome differences in species and social conventions.
Happy again, Riley
I want to know what happened in the Holy Empire, and describe it in more detail. After so many witches were captured, I feel a little sloppy later on. But I really like the structure of this story. Every witch is great.
Personally, I feel that the emotional line is still a bit abrupt. The only time the male and female protagonists had a clear intersection was with the air pirate. After that, the male protagonist liked the female protagonist and went to find her. In the chapter from the male protagonist's perspective, he started paying attention to Lina because she was good-looking and had good grades. It feels like the male protagonist is very powerful and good-looking, and then he fell in love with Lina based on her appearance, kept chasing her, and then caught up with her. Originally it was nothing, it was quite common in life, but they were obstacles from both perspectives. There was no opportunity to eliminate this obstacle, so it was easily overcome. From Samuel's point of view, they are teachers and students. Even if there is not a direct teacher-student relationship next semester, they have two levels of identity. However, he did not consider whether Lina would find it difficult to reject him because of this identity. He would not care what her classmates said to her when he pursued her. Even if he succeeded, he would not be as free as a campus love between classmates. It's just that he will no longer be her teacher next semester, and then the principal persuaded her to express her feelings and she did it. The same goes for the principal. The conversation between classmates is okay, but the male protagonist is a teacher. The teacher likes his students. The principal also encourages him to confess his feelings without asking about the specific situation, which is a bit irresponsible. From Lina's point of view, she is a witch, and she is so weak in actual combat. In the beginning, she faced the hostility of humans towards witches and almost died. However, the teacher suddenly confessed to her, and she did not realize that the male protagonist liked her before being confessed. After Orelite said that the brooch was a confession, she immediately said that if she knew it was a confession, she would not accept it at all. She also wondered why the male protagonist liked her. Obviously she did not like the male protagonist at this time. After that, she met the male protagonist again on Poseidon's Day. She trusted him because he knew other witches and called her by her real name. Then she prepared the potion for a long time when she came back. Then the male protagonist confessed to her, and she actually agreed. She didn't ask him why he liked her. In the critical moment of the witch clan, she agreed to the confession of the male protagonist she didn't like that much. Think about a family member who is seriously ill and hospitalized, and you are going to go back to take care of him. Now a boy who you have rejected and whom you have no romantic interest in confesses to you. Will you really accept it? (The metaphors are not completely equivalent, but I personally think this section is more dramatic.) Judging from the misunderstanding caused by the fact that the male protagonist even liked Lina and only gave her a brooch instead of directly saying that he liked her, I feel that the male protagonist will not tell her the sacrifices he made to find Lina (actually there is not much sacrifice. Feeling, prophecy, find a witch to prophesy, then wait, and then find), then Lina has no intuitive feeling that the male protagonist likes her, it is just that the male protagonist confessed her love. I really can't figure out why Lina likes the male protagonist and why she agreed to the male protagonist's confession at this moment. Personally, I think it would be better not to rush to write about the male protagonist and the female protagonist being together, and write more about the interaction and friendship with the girls, as well as the story of Lily's deputy CP, which would obviously be more thrilling. Then in the matter of the witch clan, let the male protagonist take the initiative to help, save a few people or pay something for Lina, so that Lina can feel his unrequited love and attention to her, as well as some integrity. Finally, when the matter is over, the male protagonist expresses his hope to protect Lina all the time, and is willing to live in the forest with Lina, and then be together again. The above is my personal feeling, and I don't mean to guide the writing. I just feel that the emotional line is still too urgent. Once the emotional line of the male and female protagonists is reached, it is easy to get into trouble. The common experiences and intersections between the two are still too little. Comparing the emotional lines of the two, the danger of the witch clan and the erosion of Ogg by the Holy Empire may be more content and more attractive.
Very pretty and sweet! The friendship between girls is so sweet! The author is good at writing (already crazy!
Maybe the writing style is a bit immature, but I really like the subject matter and the characters in it, all of them shine with a unique light!
After reading it, I was so touched. It seemed like all the girls in the book had come alive. They were so vivid. The girls helped each other and I was so touched. Everyone is an independent individual and has his or her own life. It's so beautiful.
I loved it so much, but it was too short. I read it in one night. It's been a long time since I've seen such a good-looking Western fantasy novel. It brought back the feeling I had when reading otherworldly novels. The magical world always makes people yearn for it. Magic, swords, warcraft, adventurers... Paired with Celtic music, reading novels makes people feel more excited. It makes people want to start their own journey and adventure in this fantasy world.

Although, what does the curse of the real name that Tina said before mean? I thought it was related to her travels to the human world when she was young [covering face and laughing]
"Leave no trace." This is a big bug for the author~
