AT A GLANCE GRADE: 10/10, short and sweet.

A story doesn't need to be long to be enjoyable. It doesn't need to have a happy ending. It most of all doesn't need to have a "good guy".

This story proves this in droves, I found myself immersed in the story and I really enjoyed how you portrayed war as it really is. There are no "good guys", there are no "bad guys", just people trying to survive, and those that have gone mad. It portrays war as it is, a horrid nasty... more>> thing that brings out the worst in people.

The only thing I didn't enjoy was the complete non explanation of her abilities, but it is far painted over by everything else in the story. I do enjoy how the author didn't pad the story out or overextend the story or anything like that, so we don't end up with repetitive fight #804. All parts of the story were unique and I never felt bored at any point.

Something I will commend you on, and I'm not saying this lightly or giving them praise for nothing here, is managing to include the topic of a very early (and cut off) attempted r*pe on the main character, and they manage to not completely fumble it! Most stories that include something like that (Kumo Desu sadly comes to mind) treat it as a joke or otherwise do not treat it as it should be.

Sadly Japanese media in general doesn't handle the topic of r*pe, or the limit of what should and shouldn't be sexualized very well in my opinion so I say sincerely, congratulations to you.

This was a review made by a Verbose Idiot, and I wish you all happy reading. <<less

Unlike other web novels that are often written for the express purpose of entertainment, The Girl Who Ate a Death God isn't exactly a pleasant read. No one ends up having a happy ending. It's a serious novel that highlights the hypocrisy within human nature while implicitly asking some interesting open-ended questions to get the reader thinking.

I'm definitely a person capable of reading hundreds or even thousands of chapters in one day. I'm that good. I can confidently say I'm a very well-read person, but this?? This takes the cake. I haven't had my heart broken so thoroughly recently by a protagonist fighting on the losing side of war and heading towards BE despite being OP as hell. I'd give this 10/10 if I could. Get ready for the heavy angst though. You've been warned.

Desperation, inevitability, grim justice and somewhat happy ending. This is one hell of a story. Literally, hell. Dark, heavy. Interesting and captivating. Not dragged, not clicheed. Possibly set some clichees, though. There's a lot to think about after reading. And after re-reading, too.

Try and build Your own opinion.

Amazing story. They really go for a bittersweet plot here, showing how a single person won't be able to change history by themself. The only problem I have is that the full chapter 34 isn't on this site, you'll have to search for it yourself.

Overall, this is a very similar story to The Girl who Bore the Flame Ring. Great nonetheless.

It was a very entertaining story, no romance without any of that nonsense, the sad thing is that a novel like this may not be found again for at least 3 years or more. T_T

I really enjoyed this serie. One of the WN that I enjoyed the most. My only problem with this light novel is that in opinion the book should have ended chapter 34. I really dislike the bonus part I wish I did not read them. Apart from that it is quitte an original novel which do not follow your average light novel and which is quitte original and well written with sympatic characters.

the prologue is good, but the first chapter I read and knew the kingdom will lose, and I think, the creator must be s*upid, but after reads next chapter it work well, and that give me big slap in my head.

MC Schera Zade motivation : 1. To eat food 2. To kill rebel army (take revenge) 3. I dont know but I read in this coment is to able to eat together with his comrade/people/friend

and there is no justice side, this unique story in good way (RATE 5/5)

MC... more>> : DELICIOUS <<less

It is interesting but I find the MC to be a little to flippant. Her personality feels more like a sidekick than a MC. Then you have to contend with the shear s*upidity of the kingdom. The story actually states the outcome of the war by the 4th or 5th chapter I think it was. Kind of killed the story for me.

I don’t think the story is tr*sh but I am confused by all the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

I loved this story so much.

When I was in the later chapters, the biggest fight in numbers in the story I thought I'd give this a 4/5 because in the later part it focused much more on the strategic talks and less on Schera, but when I came to the ending I was very satisfied in a way, because the ending was not satisfying, ust what you expect from Schera in a way.

When I then read the after story, I was like, yea that's the ending that was already proclaimed... more>> before, the rebels won. We all knew this was going to happen, but further in the After Story it became amazing, even though just so short, read in 3 minutes, it gave me so much that I'm longing for more but I know that I should just let it be like that and just fantasize myself what more atrocities are going to happen.

Thank you author and translator! <<less

One of my favorites here on NU. The prose was written well, and at times I felt like I was really immersed within the story. The MC is very cool and she made me enjoy reading this more. It's very action-packed, in my opinion. I rarely stray from shoujo-josei genre, but I really enjoyed reading this one. Don't even think about it and just read.

I tried reading this series and could read throughout until about chapter 25. Afterwards I skimmed the rest of them. Maybe something could have fixed the rest of series but for me it didn't. Also this review is mostly used as a rant to went my annoyance for this novel so this isn't probably a good review.

I cannot detailed analysis or anything but personally I didn't like my reading experience. My major gripes were MC's simplicity and how she acts.

The simplicity of her personality doesn't contrast well with every other... more>> plan she comes up. She doesn't struggle with decisions and the thought process is mostly skipped. As her power is quite undefined, she can power thought most of her problems.

Actually I can't seem to get my thoughts together so I will just end it here.

Sorry for bad review <<less

I dont know what to say. Why? Because this piece of art is just such a beautiful novel that any comment on the Story or the characters would just tarnish it.

I know the summery is a bit lackluster but trust me if I say that you just have to read this masterpiece.

A great way to kill time for a day or two.

The characters are fun and interesting, even if you want to punch some of them in the face.

It's a good example of how "show don't tell" is supposed to work.

... more>> ● Even though Shera's powers are never explained, you know what to expect of them because you see her using them all the time.

● The military aspects, but he combat and lifestyle, are very detailed, but never reached the point of bogging the story down with useless minutiae.

● The story spoils it's own ending, but only enough to make you even more interested. <<less

For whatever reason, I enjoyed this. Normally, war stories are not my cup of tea, and if it's included in the story I read, it might be an arc or something, but certainly not the whole focus of the story. However, with this novel, I found myself laughing and enjoying her story as she sent fear into the hearts of her enemies. It was by no means a story of love or change. By the end, the only thing I could think, "man these people sure got a lotta problems."

First novel where I hated the protagonist and hoped that she will die... The novel itself is written fairly good.

... more>>
Spoiler

The protagonist failed as a human being. Only caring about food and killing. She doesn't care what is right and what is wrong. She doesn't care which side of war is better for the kingdom. She will fake surrender and then betray everyone with no honor. In the end she even kills Diener knowing it will collapse the kingdom and everyone will suffer again. She just kills because of hate. After the New Kingdom is created by the Liberation army she just fights against it because why not, just kill more people...

Even Ainz and Light Yagami are more noble and righteous than her.

And in the end she won't even die? She gets happy ending? Are you serious?

The hero should just kill her in the beginning. Maybe she would if she knew that Shera will become incarnation of Death. Worse then demons themselves which hero is killing.

The story centered around the girls who become soldier in the pursuit of the food, solely

Story involved shittons of grey politics and text, most of all is there's IDIOT

Spoiler

even if there's no rebel, Kingdom would fail eventually. F*cking s*upid noble

The story have lot of tragedy payload

Trust me, there's a reason why this story have a maximum score in similar genre (as in Jan 2019)

Just wow. It was short, read it in one night, but it felt so long. Every step of the journey felt like you lived it. You didn't feel like you were the MC, but that was okay because you still felt like part of the story. The writing was beautiful, the translation (though rife with grammatical errors) was well done, and the dialogue! The dialogue was perfect, I could hear the odd speech patterns of the MC, the vibrant boisterousness of Yalder, the insipid greasiness of the Prime Minister (honestly,... more>> every time the MC spoke it was with a weird, almost sing-song but off pitch female voice).

I was blown away by this one. Can't give it a proper review because the places where it shines just shine so brightly the dark parts are left behind.

I would love for this to be made into a manga, and even more so for this to be made an anime. Nothing must be changed, it must remain pure and true to this original work. <<less

I'll write concise emotional review for those considering reading this novel.

Disgust, Anger, Solemn, Sympathy, Excitement, Relieved, Fulfilled.

Those were offered by this novel, definitely one of the best short story.

Kudos for the Author, gratitude for the translator.
