This is, disappointingly a LitRPG version of Cinderella, where the author took a lot of inspiration from Ever After (or else the audiobook narrator did, because she is definitely doing an Anjelica Huston impression as she reads the step-mother's lines). Unfortunately, Krout's writing isn't up to it the task. She's far too fond of adverbs and her sentence structure is awkward, to put it kindly. Sigh. LitRPGs :(

Calling cats evil creatures for hunting mice and encouragin the mice to stab them with needles and nails. Clearly being a beast singer doesn't mean actually caring about animals. Disgusting.

Bella's songs are execrable, though only slightly worse than the rest of the prose. Up to 1.8x, I guess.
