At the time of this review, I've only read up to Chapter 87. So far, this book has been amazing, although repetitive at some points. I love the onomatopoeia that were added during the fights, but at the beginning of the book during her fights in the forest did get a little repetitive.
For the main character, I do love how she develops over the course of time, becoming further and further brutal and sadistic as she struggles in the forest to survive. Despite being originally male, she starts to distrust other men. Her struggling with money for quite awhile also made it very refreshing.
For the genderbend aspect, I like how it isn't focused yet still mentioned in some points, like how she is uncomfortable receiving gifts and whatnot because she's used to paying for the meal. (minor spoiler) I also find it hilarious that she's so brutal but also becomes a priest for the healing and other benefits.
All in all, I am hooked, and I absolutely adore this book. There are some very major aspects that I would consider changing:
What originally put me off from picking up this book was both the title and cover. The title, despite being a little unique, made me overlook this book for a while until I got curious enough to take a peak. I feel like it should be something a little bit more relevant to the story, but not something cheesy. The cover also put me off because since being a fantasy, I would expect it to be more of a drawing, like a sadistic priest. Nonetheless, I still adore this book and look forward to continuing reading.
The MC character acts like a degenerate, poor, miserable slave from the lowest class of society. In every season, all he does is thank people and apologize a thousand times. This is only done by a poor beggar who is grateful and apologetic at every moment. As for the strong personality, he does not thank people even if they help him because he has dignity and pride. Also, MC is not evil, so the sign (scoundrel) must be removed. MC is weak and degenerate, he has neither pride nor dignity, and he behaves like a beggar.
