Ultimate Goddess System

Picked this up randomly for my next review. Please heed the mature rating while reading this story, trigger warnings of abuse and rape.

I honestly hated the prologue, the family's behaviour to MC comes off as too artificially exaggerated and topped off with the rape scene that made me cringe (I personally hate exaggerated abuse and rape scenes). The writing, however, was surprisingly good so I gave it another chance and decided to follow my typical ritual of reading to chapter 10 before reviewing. I actually read on for more than that before reviewing in the end.

I have to admit, this story is a diamond in the rough. Up until where I left off, the MC is still an immature girl trying to play a game she thought she knew the rules to. To point out specifically, she was still emotionally stunted despite her age, typical for someone who went through abuse and trauma. Her charcater is realistic, and she does suffer from the consequences of her own actions. That was much appreciated since most stories tends to gloss over that for their protagonist. She has potential to be a properly fleshed out strong MC in the future.

Story wise, world building and background is lacking, but that's not exactly the focus of the story. You know enough and it doesn't hinder the plot overall. I like that she stays in the world longer because she has multiple targets. Hopefully there will be more world building when an interesting world comes around.

Obviously, there are plot holes and cliches. I also appreciate that the author doesn't wave the rape trauma all over the reader's face to solicit sympathy for the MC. The insidious undertones is also another nice touch to the story. Overall, it is a surprisingly good read and has potential to be better. Keep up the good work, it's going into my library.

Okay, not going to lie, reading the first couple of chapters made me almost drop the whole thing. The beginning was pretty unrealistic and female lead was just too ***** (although I know now that it was for the sake of character development). The descriptions were just a lot of telling and not showing, and the granny that adopted her in the beginning just seemed way too convenient lol.

However, after giving the story a chance because I was bored, I actually saw the female lead getting beaten up (not literally) by others around her and actually developing a tougher skin! I still feel as if she is a bit overpowered though. She has so many  skills! Also, I think her beauty level is way too high considering it’s only her first arc. Would have liked it more if the female lead was dealt more trials and had to rely more on her wits than her face. Am I too cruel? Lol.

The only part that I really didn’t like was her scene with the actual male lead. It didn’t feel logical to me. She should have had enough sense to not get her ass drunk and taken advantage of. I mean, come on, getting that depressed because she was stood up? The male lead also just seems too overbearing... I would have figured she wanted the opposite of his type. (Calm, low key, attracted, but not too attracted to her face?) Right now, I just can’t really see their future relationship as anything deeper. He just sees her outer beauty. Well. Hopefully that’ll change.

Don’t mind me I’m just a person who’s heart been taken away by the novel ( I’m not dying for new chapters 🤡)


Dear author please have mercy on this person who’s waiting for an update. Also i made this account just for this novel.
