The characters feel very flat.

It suffers from a case of 'telling' and not showing and it has no interactions between different groups of faceless mobs that have been given different labels.

It also has a redundant weird unit of measurement the MC mentions once and goes "it also means 150ft". It doesn't seem to reconcile how a person would act with the powers, limitations and advantages a 'guardian deity/goddess' would have an it's faith system seems to be a skewed. Although it does give lots of exposition, it only seems to be giving surface level reasoning for the how's and why's.

The Yuri feels a bit forced, perhaps because the characterisation is awful. We are told the characters personality and it just falls flat.

The Kingdom building part just rushes past and It feels like this should be a draft, with the more bulk details added to give it more depth when it's published.

It's an interesting concept which can be pulled off, but I think "Being Recognised as an Evil God, I Changed my Job to Guardian Deity of Beastmen Country" (wow thats a mouthful) does not pull it off well at all.

Spoiler

The Evil God part means nothing. She's described as a god from a different country, but from lack of faith and individualism it got destroyed by another country and their god and they painted her as an 'evil one'. From what I've read so far, it gives the impression that this has happened many hundreds of years ago. Also sometimes every other paragraph is a timeskip.

I don't think this is for me.

Allie has worked her magic again with this one! The realistic portrayal of the leads as kids is beautiful and heart wrenching, and I can’t wait to see where this story goes once they are grown up.

Is this book the same (or just a different version) as your story titled The Incubus and Secretary with similar character names Anaya/Sanaya Johnson and Lancelot Eustis/Lancelin Eustein? I'm trying to decide which book to read.
