Because the series does not focus on action, the MC uses her talents to make foods, clothing or otherwise enhance her daily life. One of the reasons this is such an amazing reincarnation novel is because of how the knowledge of the MC's previous life is used so effectively. It is already slow paced enough though, so I shouldn't ask for even more details. I wish there was more description of surroundings – appearances, clothes, the atmosphere of the academy or church, how people wear things rather than just the materials, etc. It's almost a bit unrealistic how nobody is an idealistically driven character – there's no one trying to take over the world or bring happiness to everyone or any other idealistic ambitions like that, everything is very closely boxed in communities and lifestyle. Again, like Ookami to koushinryou, there aren't over dramatically malicious characters – the motives of antagonists are very well calculated. The way business and trade works, the hierarchical society and the behavioural and fashion differences in different social classes.

It reminds me more of Ookami to koushinryou than of other reincarnation novels. For example, religion/magic, two of the major elements of the story, only get introduced around chapter 65, get some action around chapter 125 and only get really exciting with more exposure to the magic system much later as complexity and developments get layered on, like the magic circle research in the 400s. It's pretty good from a slice of life perspective right from the beginning (don't expect the storytelling and pacing to change, it doesn't), but the slow pace will make you feel like you didn't see much. Even after that, it's not romance so much as drama and politics.īecause of the slow pace, I wouldn't really bother reading this until you can read at least around 100 chapters. There are hints of romance in some of the MC's relationships and lots of secondary character side stories, but not much happens in the first 500 chapters. Warning 2: Not much romance, at least for a while more> others in the genre) of time skips. This isn't an action series and it is slow paced, so if you don't have patience to read about cooking, clothing, cleaning, cosmetics and tons of heavy passages on paper making or printing methods, then don't read this series. I have read a number of reincarnation novels from xianxia, japanese, korean and english original categories but so far, this is among the best and most immersive I've come across.
