The Court Magician Who Had Her Achievements Dismissed and Was a Hobbyist Puppeteer Becomes Extremely Strong – Even if She’s Told to Come Back Because Her Workplace is Struggling, It’s More Fun to Expand an Undeveloped Land with Her Childhood Friends… Chapter 53 Discussion

Hi please politely disregard everything the other reviewer said because in the span of approximately 40 chapters, the plot has taken a wild swerve and it is up to the reader's discretion whether it is in a good or bad way.

To be concise and create expectations without completely spoiling, this was written by the same person who created 'Roll Over And Die'. Aka the yuri novel that 'baits' its readers with its fantasy and revenge premise, that quickly turns into gore/horror. While not on the same level, the darker part of this story hides behind its psuedo-mecha and the moments of childhood friends flirting with each other.

One major complaint is that, personally, the twist wasn't foreshadowed enough. Perhaps I'm just Dense, but I was unaware until the reveal. I'd even go as far as to say the title is a bit misleading.

Aside from that, it's a good read and the translation is well done. Names, while not everything, do hold some significance.

If you enjoyed ROAD, pick this up and prepare yourself for a story that's a fair amount more lighthearted. If not, it's still worth reading if you're interested by the initial premise and summary.
