The main character Riku is a girl from one of the main demon killing families, like a lot of reincarnation stories do is that they place the soul of someone who died in the modern era and place it in an outcast/sickly from another world so this happens but riku decides to sell that soul to a shinigami (think deathnote) to find a place where she ''belongs'', naturally after her father decides to throw her off a cliff because she couldn't awaken the family's demon killing power.
So she washes ashore near a city and tries to find a job lady lady lada she gets chased she runs into a demon who saves her and asks her for her true name (which basically means that she becomes his s*ave) because he thinks that she could be useful.
then she becomes happy because now she has a place to stay and that's pretty much it for her character progression. Now she's just like one of those side characters in a harem that is willing to do whatever possible to serve the protagonist which is in this case a side character.
Another reason for hating this novel is because the author makes fun of the side characters that blindly and for no good reason fall in love with the MC trope but then the author thinks that it's a great idea to make the MC like that.
I think that this story had huge potential but the author just couldn't grasp it
* Strong female protagonist
* Not insanely lucky like other protagonists.
* Well written, well translated.
Cons:
* No character development. Essentially every character sticks to their initial motivations for the entirety of the plot. Though honestly I still rate this 5 stars because its short enough I don't feel like the lack of development overly harms the plot.
* Last two chapters are not translated at all and the translator has been away for months.
I really wished for one of these endings:
Success in life: Riku successfully revive Deamon Lord, became his second in command, Levein is dead...
Sad: Riku sacrifice herself to revive Demon Lord and become remembered as hero of demons.
That ending was probably the worst author could choose, even Riku dying and Rook becoming hero and king would be better.
