Summary

Jade has spent her life fighting boredom in the terminally ill ward. Surfing the net or reading, she always envied the ability of others to go out and experience the world. She knew her wish to live a normal life was far beyond her reach, but after waking up one morning without the sounds of her life support, she opens her eyes and finds herself with a weak but healthy body in a magical world. 

As blue gamelike system notifications fill her vision, she knows she'll have to adapt quickly in order to survive, but this is all she ever dreamed of, so Jade is up to the challenge. She will soon realize that you need to be careful what you wish for. 

This is Andara, where her true adventure finally begins.

Loved it

A fantastic book with an adorable and loveable main character.

Not your typical affair for this genre with no main antagonist and not a great deal of struggle, much more of a feel good escapism story.

The narrator is fantastic and really brings the characters to life.

My one complaint would be the stat reading, it is quite lengthy and often mid chapter, I would have preferred a more summarised highlighted version but I can recognise that could have taken away from the original story.

All in all I look forward to the next book and hope that it adds a bit more challenge to the mc, but still keeps the same adorable charm.

Just horrible.

What is this book even about? Nothing happens exept the MC meets people that love her and she gets some powers.
The bad is that there is no plot in the book and the MC is probably the worst MC! She is so very entitled, everybody MUST love her or she gets mad but she can do and say whatever she wants to anyone.
Her powers are meaningless and everything she does is to be what I guess the author thinks is cool. The books feels like it was written by a 14 year old.

a refreshingly nice story

though i am averse to the oft touted marketting phrase 'heart warming tale of-' i have to admit, this story fits that descrption for once. though neither as intricate nor clever as some stories, this author's style tends to lighten the mood of the reader. optimism and hope are woven through the main character like fabric and better still, she refuses to become disilisioned. in fact, bad turns spur greater efforts to optimism. and despite a few lacking elements of realism where people act, i.e. everyone beind quite friendly rather than back-stabby as people really are, it's an acceptably believable world to listen to.
the narrator did and expert job at charcter tones and quirks, though better on wome than men, naturally.
in the end, it's an anime with a touch more sense and a dollop of fluffy!

A beautiful story

I received this as a free review copy. It’s a really lovely book with an interesting female lead character, lots of snark, intelligence and compassion all set within a well crafted world with a narrative that flows brilliantly. I enjoyed the book and will be purchasing the rest in the series.

Great story

it's very difficult to find a good storyline where the character is not OP, but this one hit all the marks. It's a really amazing story. enjoyed it.

a nice book

Don't think my title as ow it's just a nice book. I mean it like it's a kind book toward the main character.
The realistic situation the main character is in makes you hope and wish for her happy ending.

I love the tempo of the book. It glides into emotional and dangerous situations. I'm looking forward to the sequal seeing as I feel like I just got my bearings of the land and the people and all it's potential.

Personally I prefer male narators but Samara is the first female I really enjoyed but this is just personal preference. She articulated very well.

The only part that did bother me was the extremely long list of stats but maybe they are skipable but I didn't check at the time. It only happens like 4 or 5 times so it's not like overpowering the story. It was just to much in 1 go but also fitting the story. (can't ellaborate without spoilers ... so go listen or read it :p )

feels like a prequel

Feels like an introduction with a bit of spoilers.

first half feels boring, too long useless skill list,
the end is more likeable
