Well written LitRPG with a twist
This is an interesing take on the LitRPG genre. The protagonist is an NPC locked in a cycle of death, and she finds herself in a unique position to put an end to that cycle. I also appreciate that the main character is a female. There are far too few LitRPGs with female protagonists so this is a welcome change.

Interesting World Setup, Slow Start
The author has set up a unique world and premise for their story, a world of NPCs and RPCs governed by the Great Mother (GM). The MC is half NPC/half RPC glitch recently awakened to her RPC-ness trying to save her NPC town from the infinite loop of monster raids she had previously experienced as an NPC.
Unfortunately the pacing of the story is extremely slow, I felt like very little MC growth or progress took place at all. I would also say that this story is a bit LitRPG lite, not much in the way of gaming elements or character progression or stats shared or items or skills. Don't get me wrong, there was a little bit of all of that but since the MC didn't really do much so not much of those elements to show.
Hopefully the pace picks up in the next book, good luck to the author!

Good start
Not bad, not bad at all. It has action every step of the way. The main character doesn't become a good right off the bat with a whole bunch of cheat skills. In fact she doesn't have any. If anything she has major handicap. The ending leaves you wanting more. The main characters personality changes as the story progresses. However, even the main character mention that power might be going to her head. Either way there is a lot growth and more growing to go.

Eh....
This book still gets a five because it's well written with decent pacing and a fairly engaging narrative...I will however up the rating to six just so I can cross off one star because the mc is a bell-end. Watching someone struggle against the odds is fun, watching someone stumbling, fwapping about making dumb decisions....not so much. To say it plainly, for me at least this book stopped being fun the moment she left her sister at home. I get it that a hero's journey is supposed to be about the hero but without Lucielle who'd kind of felt like the soul of this little narrative the story ceases to be an interesting narrative about NPCs and PCs...sorry "RPCs", and just becomes another generic rags to riches story with a cute pet that she also manages to somehow screw things up with...Yes, the world was still an interesting nuanced one but honestly so what...What's the point of going to wonderland if you're going to all the terrible parts and the company is just a single surly teenager, with a chip on her shoulder and no clue what side of the fence she's trying to sit on....5/5 for technical excellence. -1 for the annoying plot and MC. And you know what... here's another star off for making me sigh so much in a four hour time span. 4/5 stars.

I liked the new idea of a NPC and a player having a kid together and the life of the NPC breaking free of it's chains. The viewpoint from the NPC is a nice twist. This is a nice and interesting read. Something you should page through in your free time.

NPC discovers she is the daughter of an npc and an rpc. after getting a wyvern hatchling a system update gives her the powers of RPCs...
Unique concept of a world with npcs and rpcs. Unfortunately it does not get clear if the RPCs considers themselves "players" as they seem to be just world citizens with other rules but not different in any other way.
Ends on a mean cliffhanger.
Not a bad book - but also doesn't catch my interest enough so i am not sure if i follow the series.

Couldn't finish
It is rare that I cannot finish a book. I made it half way through, and decided it wasn't worth anymore effort. Reading self published books, I have learned to deal with editing issues. This is a story that didn't pull me in, and definitely couldn't keep my attention.

Sorry. Not very interesting.
I only got in about 7% before I gave up. They premise was weird and three characters were not interesting.
I couldnt get hooked and I found myself bored immediately. Sorry, I like litrpg but this one was a dud to me.
Writing was a 3 of 5 as well. Okay, but bland.
Characters were a 2, none grabbed me or seemed interesting.

as far as it goes the story is ok, theres a few things about it that make no sense (the glitch should have fixed itself as soon as she got bonded to her animal for instance) i mean the premis of the storyt fit well but then its been so long since this was written it seems like the author abandoned the series ...

Very slow book I gave up on it after a week.

An excellent start to what looks like a great LitRPG series
Can't wait to pick up the next book. Really neat twist on the LitRPG genre! Spolier: this book has a cliffhanger (or 2)

Good Read.
A LitRPG story. I enjoyed the story. Interesting point of view from the NPC. The story did end on a cliffhanger. Interested in the next book.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this book and CaN see its potential, it just left me feeling kind of unsatisfied. I'm interested to see what the next book holds

Fun
Absolutely loved it! It’s a great addition to the genre. It is a wonderful YA story that I’d recommend for adults too.

This is likely the first book I have ever read where I stopped reading 97% through.
It's a good book in general. Not top-rate (as my 3 stars show), but a nice enough way for a fantasy and/or litRPG fan to spend his or her time.
I did stop reading though. And this is because it became clear that the author was gearing up for a cliffhanger, which I normally find a bad enough sin, but there isn't even a book 2.
