Demon Princess Magical Chaos #1
The Tentacle Awakens
Death and Reincarnation.
Kuroe Makoto, the tomboyish ace of her high school track and field club, never spared a thought for these things before. However, when she falls asleep in her Tokyo home after an exhausting marathon and wakes up in a fantasy world, those concepts become her reality. And unlike in the common light novel setting, she isn't reincarnated as the naturally good-looking and talented human hero who gathers a harem effortlessly.
In fact, she isn't reincarnated as a human at all. She is reborn as 'Chaos', child of the demon queen and heir to a kingdom at war with humanity.
Demon Princess Magical Chaos puts the Japanese high school girl in a tentacle monster, in this strange tale of a sound human mind possessing a horrifying creature's body.
Join Chaos on her oftentimes humorous but also perilous journey through a world of sword and sorcery, as she discovers a newfound appetite for life, terror, and demi-human girls.

So... This first book doesn't deserve a 1 star review, but the series does and it is best to put it here.
The main character is supposed to be girl; that is the purported premises. That is not actually the case though, she is a girl insofar as a straight guy who is only familiar with Japanese loli and tentacle porn and who otherwise literally becomes a guy, and has other versions of herself that are guys, is a "girl". Some of the absolute worse 'guy writing girl' around, which is grating and skipable by itself but
So that 'loli' reference just is a black hole that gets worse as the series goes. An infinitely old being that looks like a child is a horrible trope to begin with, BDSM sex scenes with said child makes me give this one star review and worried the series won't be finished because law enforcement will raid the authors computer.
Admittedly, the series also goes a little bit off the rails besides that and later books contain quite a bit of filler. The author could do with a writing group to do content reviews of books/series, that include women, even if the author is desiring to write bdsm tentacle porn and take the standard writing advice to cut ~30% of especially the later books.

A smooth marriage of Japanese and Western cultures, this was a very entertaining tale! However, I found there was unexplored potential vis-à-vis the protagonist’s power (money and hunger issues could both have been addressed if she learned from her first encounter with the thugs in the shop => urban hunting! And she could equip herself with extra sensors to increase her tracking prowess, so I didn’t see why not. Also, birds! Or imagination spurred by an emotions-filled scenario, perhaps involving a speech à la shounen. *wink* There simply MUST be a wing perk upgrade in the sequel!).
Ahem, so... I liked the humour, the references, the bits of humanity our protagonist managed to salvage despite her condition (wanted more of that internal conflict, though <3) and the writing was good, to the point that I can’t recall there having been typos or mistakes hmm... and I’m someone who does not ordinarily gloss over such things! Let me go back a bit and check; I’ve a vague memory there might have been something early on that caught my eyes...nope, that wasn’t a missing apostrophe (possessive). That that was what I went and looked for, returning a positively negative result, says much.
Hmph. Happy? Also, and this is important to me, I recall the verbs lay/lie were properly employed. Yay!
Anyway, when I start nitpicking so, about ideas that could have been and errors that might not have existed, it means I enjoyed the book a lot. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers!

I rather liked this book. In all of those books where someone is summoned to another world to be the hero, this one spins that and summons you as a demon lords child where you are thrown into the world to learn how to become the next demon lord. I like how you see how cold the main character can be but at the same time, can be caring and compassionate. No, there is no tentacle sex in this book at all, so if that's what you're looking for skip this. But if you're looking for a well put together story that is pretty much a light novel aimed at adults with adult themes in it (yes, there's sex but nothing crazy.) then this is a good book to pick up. I am EAGERLY awaiting the next book so much that I signed up for this guy's pateron to help support his next book. He does have a page on RR, but the story is much more polished here and there are some changes from what's there to what is here (some pretty significant one's).

Interesting read, I actually love reincarnation/fantasy stories so I really enjoyed Chloe’s / Makoto’s tale, something different in fantasy lit yet filled with tons of references you’ll understand specially if you like Japanese culture if not anime. I’ll definitely read the next one.

The inner dialogue made the story a lot more confusing.
The way in which the protagonist converses with people confuses me. I am never sure when she is conversing with someone or having a thought. This led me to be angry for no reason. Having to actively think and spend minutes of my time to determine if she is actually talking to someone or just having a thought is a waste of my time. Instead of me learning about the world, the character and what is currently happening, I am instead having to figure out if she is conversing with someone or just exclaiming in her head. Katana Jones doesn't even help with my confusion. If anything, I would have been less confused if I read the book. Katana Jones isn't a bad narrator. Actually, she is one of the better ones who put so much personality in their performance. But her approach made it more confusing to tell whether the protagonist was making a comment in her head or actually talking.
The fact I had to spend more time trying to figure out conversation from inner dialogue is frustrating. I much rather be frustrated with the story presented than actually being confused at a writing style.
Look I am not sure if this was translated or not, but from what I gathered it was not. So if this was from a native english speaking person, the only question I have to ask is, why make it a quiz for the readers to have to figure out when she is in thought or having a conversation.
P.S.
This is a story for adults, so please write for an adult. Writing a story that is generally how shoujo manga go aren't really for adults. When you have a mature rating please please for the love of god, have a mature story. Basically what this story is like, is similar to a shoujo isekai, but has yuri and sex to warrant a mature rating. What is with everyone writing a children's story only to put sex in it. Jeez man.

There were a lot of manga (I assume) references that I did not know. I felt like there is very little peril for the main character. She will survive anything with no problem at all. It kind of mutes the impact of the tension.

I absolutely loved this book from start to finish and Kuroe is a wonderful character who I couldn't help but fall in love with by the end of the book. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was and am already looking forward to reading book two later on today!
The writing style definitely leads to imagining this book as an anime or manga and the author does a great job in capturing the essence of that format in a conventional prose story.

Review of Demon Princess Magical Chaos by J.J. Pavlov
If you are a fan of series like “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” or “So I'm a Spider, So What?” this book is worth a look-see.
Our lead gets reincarnated as a Crawling Chaos and is the daughter of the demon queen. She finds herself thrust into the human world and must hide her demonic nature.
The protagonist finds herself feeling fairly separating from her former humanity. In some ways she reminds me of Lord Ainz from “Overlord”, as she is more of a villain than anything else (I mean, she is a monster). You get a solid feel for her personality (a little twisted and on the sadistic side) and yet she remains a protagonist you can still root for.
This story goes into harem territory, but I’ll let it slide since a lesbian harem isn’t something I’ve read before. There is one sex scene in the book and it is fairly explicit.
There is some solid world building in this story. We learn with our protagonist bit by bit the rules that govern the world she finds herself in. There are a few exposition dumps, but generally the author manages to avoid relying too heavily on those.
We are introduced to a large cast of characters who are fleshed out to varying degrees.
There is acknowledgement of tropes that are common in fantasy stories as well as some fourth wall breaking. There are some references made that I could tell were to references, but I wasn’t familiar with what they were connected too. There was a scene with obvious parallels to a scene from LOTR within the book as well (an homage?).
All in all a good read and I hope to get a chance to nab the sequel (whenever that comes out).

Nice premise, but extremely poor execution.
The world building is sorta nice, but never explored, and the mc, well the mc is just mentally crippled. 70% of the books is mental commentary, not in an hypothetical way, it's literally all in her mind, and it's just bad writing.
Now what makes it bad u may ask?, well the writer wants to portray the mc as a logical person who is a monster and so her feelings towards human and other races are not like a normal person, that should be a good thing no, since it should give us a nice prospective, but it turns out to be mental commentary of a child who thinks with that she is being smart, when in reality she is just mentally challenged.
It's honestly a good premise, but someone should do it justice someday, i would even be willing to sign some documents giving my consent to ban writers like these ,it's just bad.
Edit: i forgot to add the 2 worse points too, one is that there is loli porn, more like sad fetish of some deranged person, and second, the mc is manipulative, not in that charming smart way,for example like in house of cards, where u know the Kevin is evil, but I can't help admire his smarts, and u like that, the mc in this book is manipulative in that ugly way, where they would manipulate their parents to buy them an iPhone even if costs their parent a kidney, and that is not an exaggeration, then mc does this bs again and again and it's played for laughs.
It gets irritating at first , but then it just gets sad, makes u think how fked up spoiled life the writer has led.
And worst part is that this series has 6 books, honestly how do people find this enjoyable.

Awesome Read
Definitely an awesome read with a fantastic main character and a great set of side characters. I have already ordered volume two and I look forward to many more volumes in the future.

This book is billed as a Light Novel - indeed it reads like one. But whereas a Light Novel averages around 200ish pages, this book is a lot longer at 407 pages. As a result it is not as quick a read.
The story is compared to That Time I Got Re-Incarnated As A Slime - and its a fair comparison. The main character can shape-shift. But that’s where most similarities end. Chloe is a young girl - not a middle-aged Salaryman.
This story is also quite brutal. Can be cold-blooded and has a lot of inference to sexuality, urges and sexual acts - with one scene going into graphic detail. The main character Chloe is painted as a bit of a lecherous character.
Overall I found the story interesting - but many of the characters that orbit Chloe seem very two-dimensional and forgettable.
I hope this improves in later books.

This is a fan service to anime fantasy lovers. In fact, most of the book is just taking different elements from different animes, mangas, games, and fantasy writings like Tolkien and putting them in a blender. If you keep that in mind, it's a decently written action sort-of isakai. If you're not into anime, a lot of factors about this book will seem weird or downright disturbing... as a lot of tropes unfortunately are.
The main reason I took off a star is how blase' the main character is. Hardly anything seems to phase her. Emotions seem to be an afterthought in most situations. She states that becoming a creature changed her personality, so I'm hoping that's what's going on here. However, it gives off a feel of disinterest when you read the sort of disconnect she has. Hopefully, that aspect gets better as the series continues.

Well, that was an entertaining and hilarious light read. This is the first time I'm reading an isekai manga-esque setting in a novel format and surprisingly I enjoyed it. The author is going to the yuri-harem route with the lead which includes Senka a creepy and haunted (sex)doll, Daica a well endowed dark elf together with her elder sister Kamii who is accursed with crab princers as a limb and Runa the half elven mage of the party. The rest of the gang are interesting and are engaging as well, from the big brother-like figure Gram, the leader swordsman Rolan and the bard-ranger Sigurd.
Some jokes and situations are borderline adult for the unsuspecting reader but if you're familiar with the japanese manga setup then you'll feel right at home.
4 Maou-mama stars.

Easily one of the best isekai
The main character is loveable, down to earth and well-written. Relationships and attraction re done best of any isekai I've read. They're real and treated naturally and don't beat around the bush. Combat and story progression is also done well, with action and humour placed put in the right places. The novels are about twice as long as other light novels and there is so filler and over exposition.

This mindless prattle is nearly lethal cringe, not a novel. A few minutes in the premise of being in a tentacle monster is gone as she can change shape at will, an OP super power.
Clocking in at 13 hours for the audio book, this is the equivalent of 3 seasons of an anime isekai. Despite years of low-quality isekai being churned out at a break-neck pace, I can't think of any that wouldn't be a far better choice to watch than to listen to this.

Omg this was terrible not going to lie was in it for the tentacles. But this book was a snore fest 😴 skipped through almost all of it. Nothing actually happened until around the last 3 hours of audiobook and it virgin first time ff which I'm not into love harem books don't mind ff as long as a c%ck is the main attraction. But read that she takes a male form. Plus ff books are to girlie emotional turn off ugggg DNF.. for me.. NOT A TENTACLE IN SIGHT.. disappointed

Love it
I love books like I'm a spider so what and other like it and this book is similar to it in some ways but not completely it has it's own twist and turns. I especially like the race type main character is it's unique and really cool I highly recommend it if you like overlord and other serious like it

Fun.
It is refreshing to see a woman in the role that is traditionally male dominant, making for an exciting story. The story and characters were intriguing and engaging. I look forward to reading more about these characters and their further adventures. This book is definitely worth reading.

A captivating story if you can get past the first 2 or 3 chapters
Human reincarnated as a demon monster then gets dumped in human lands and has to act human to survive. Demon Princess who loves her mother the humans want to kill. Will she succeed in getting back to demon lands and become Queen?

Easy to get the idea from the title
It is not litrpg, not porn, not portal, not gamelit - but there is some game snark. Teenage lesbian Japanese schoolgirl gets reincarnated as a tentacle monster. If I was more familiar with anime and manga I’m sure it would’ve been hilarious.

Very good fun!
I’m impressed by this book and I hope the series continues for a while! The characters are quite interesting and the occasional fourth wall breaks by the doll have potential to shape the story in unique ways.

It's okay, but the loli content (like most loli content) dips too close to pedophilia for my tastes although it manages to real that back to the level of most anime or LNs. On a more mundane note, the constant *wink wink nudge nudge* reference got grating, even the ones I got.
March 4, 2020
I love it!!!
By far another amazing story! Im so into it and I can’t wait to see where this goes! I hope she cares for humans a little more but i dont mind if it turns out she doesn’t

Throws you right in.
Fast start with no explanations but pacing falters just a little in. The story is interesting and I like the characters, it is just hard to read. I am curious to see if later ones get better.

4.5 stars. I was skeptical at first not gonna lie. However it turned out to be a great story and I thoroughly enjoyed the book and see a lot of potential in the series. The it's not a new concept but it's very well done and I enjoy the plot.

Awful. Didn't finish this one. Much the same as The Midnight Girls, the main character is just unrepentantly evil and I can't get into it

Decent but to many references to games and shows. Decent story and the story was good enough for me to want to buy volume 2.
