After quitting her job as a therapist, Tess's life became pretty slow. A tad boring, even.

It thus came as no small shock to her when she was chosen by a god.

Suddenly thrust into a new world where magic, monsters, and character levels are par for the course, Tess will find that simply surviving can be a challenge. It doesn't help that dark forces are stirring, she's woefully underpowered, and spiders keep trying to claw her face off.

One thing's for certain, though: if she can overcome it all, the possibilities are endless. Will she end up wrestling a dragon? Becoming an arch-mage? Opening up a quaint wine bar and bookstore for elves? The choice is hers...as long as she can live long enough to make it.

Protagonist is a fairly classic LitRPG novel with character levels, classes, stats, settlements, and other LitRPG elements.

Well this protagonist definitely wasn't a gamer before leaving her world. Definitely a silly person who wasn't sure about her choices in life surprisingly real personality.

love it

Overall the story is great and I thoroughly enjoyed the book and narrator but at some points throughout the story I have to wonder if the author intentionally made the protagonist into a dumb bimbo. Given the fact that she is a protagonist of luck I can see some elements helping with that but at points I have to wonder if the real reason she quit her job is because she was actually fired for being too dumb. You have cheat level abilities and are from a modern society even if your not a nerd and into the whole isekai/reincarnation fad who actually gets to a new world and then ignores the powers that literally let you get information about said world and then goes around not using said powers on everything and everyone when the situation gets dire and there is a sorta lot of whining that kinda gets annoying near the end that almost made me stop listening

I’m conflicted

I I just can't with the amount of whining this chick does, I wanted to throat punch the main character so badly. This is just such a terrible book. The main character has no actual redeeming characteristics. She monologs a lot and lives in her mind so much that she doesn't have any real relationships with anyone despite being a therapist. There are so many elements that aren't used that it is disappointing. The game elements suck real hard, and I feel like they weren't thought fully through.

SO MUCH WHINING
