I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I was just so hyped when I spotted this one over at Netgalley! I saw it promoted on Twitter and I just knew instantly that I would love this one and that I needed it in my life. I just LOVE a good isekai! I just love manga about characters who get a second chance at life… in a book they read. I am already thinking what book I would end up in, haha, given the variety of stuff I read? Mm, I think I would love to be part of Gail Carriger’s world!

On to this book! As is always the case, one has to die before one gets reincarnated, so that is what happens to our MC as well. But before she dies she is able to purchase the ultimate insurance package before she dies. And yes, that is apparently a thing. Though I would recommend, given where our MC ends up in, maybe not the full package? I mean, on the one hand we learn she has all sorts of cool deals and fancy stuff that she gets, but on the other hand she is in an S-Class story (and one with a loop), meaning that she is kinda screwed. All the MC wanted was just go to a normal easy story filled with family and love. I don’t blame her, she had a crappy life and you don’t want your next life to be one of trials, of possible deaths, of making sure that everything goes well.

But our MC, now known as Ailette Rodeline, is doing all she can to survive. And I guess despite landing here due to the ultimate insurance package, the insurance package is also helping her out a ton. She has access to level-ups, fancy upgrades, can buy things in the story, can activate some cool things, and oh yes, best of all and HECK I need that in this life, access to a library with ALL the books she has legally bought and read with addition bonus of all the books she is reading in this life. I mean, YES. All those fancy upgrades are good and all, but a library like this? Wins in my books (get it). I will just hide there. Haha. Plus, it solves one thing that I always had my head scratching in other books like this, people are transported to a book they know, but some of them haven’t read the book in years or cannot remember all the deets, what is next? But in this world, thanks to this upgrade you can just pick up the book and read it. Get all the deets. Make sure you get all your dates ready. Of course, it is not a fail-proof thing, because there are things NOT mentioned in the books, like what happens to Ailette at a certain point. But hey, at least you got an idea of what is going to happen.

I loved seeing Ailette try to figure out which route to take. Which loop she is in. Change how she is viewed in the eyes of others. Oh, and start a quest that leads her to make a new religion (teehee) and become the first follower of a god (whose conversations pop up at times and which I absolutely loved seeing pop up in special text bubbles). A lot of people would have possibly given up when they encounter such a difficult thing + the whole well you are going to die or x and y is going to die (aka depressing), but she just keeps going. Thinks of skills she could use and buys upgrades. She kicks some serious butt and I was so rooting for the girl.

Oh, and did I mention next to loops, death, and more there is also something else? In this world there are dungeons just popping up. Killing people. People disappearing. And oh yes, one of those is meant to appear right where Ailette and the cast is? Yup. And we get to see such a dungeon later on in the story. I won’t tell you what happens, but dang that was exciting! I was on the edge of my seat wondering how our MC would get out of this one!

There are also other people in this world, like Ailette’s brother, her alchemist dad, the countess/mistress of the house, the evil son of the mistress (who can just rot for all I care), the daughter who kept trying to make friends, but um, she is a bit different with some play stuff. I really liked the big cast of people and I loved meeting more people. I was worried at first when we met the daughter of the mistress, but she really turned out to be an OK character. I wonder if she will stay like this, I am hoping. Ailette could use a friend in all of this.

The art is so pretty and I love the designs of the characters.

All in all, let me wrap this one up because this one has gotten quite long! This was a really fun reincarnation/isekai manga and I cannot wait to read more of it! I am curious what is next for Ailette and if she will be able to beat this loop/game and get her happily ever after! I would recommend this one to all!
