I picked up this story because I enjoy the slime series the author also does. This story I love even more.
The character is very relatable, and playing with the themes of what a hero is (although often contrived) makes a lot of sense in this situation.
To avoid spoilers, all I will say is that the main character is incredibly interesting when it comes to certain aspects of her past - in a way that is often ignored.
Love this story, will read the next on definitely.
