When Kelly Knightâs little brother loses a game he gets pulled into the Realm Under the Hill by dark fae. To win him back she must enter the unfamiliar mining game and befriend a romance reading miner, a greedy sharp-toothed fairy, an elegant dark elf, and a stoic reaper and use what they teach her to reach the bottom of the mine where the undefeated boss awaits.
But even with all their help she might still lose and get thrown into the Garden of 1000 Kindnesses, a place that holds more secrets than even its name implies.

I've read up to chapter 12 so far, and it's looking great. The story is very obviously written by somebody with quite a bit more experience and skill in writing than most stories on this site. It has a very interesting concept, deep characters, and precise grammar. I can almost guarantee that if you read this story, you won't be disappointed.
Its minamilist with a focus on game elements.
Reviewed at: Epilogue
The novel does exactly what from my understanding the author setout to do. It introduces/explores the levels and elements of a simple 2d digging game like diggerman. It does a great job with this and its why I am giving the work 5 stars.
Regarding the actual story it is quite well written and engaging. Definately a worth while read.
In terms of feedback:
1. There are a few rare grammatical mistakes in the later chapters.
2. The eventual seperations that occur do not have as much impact as they could have. I believe this is because as readers we werent given enough time with some of the side/minor characthers.
Personally I found that the light novel "sevens" is a great example of how much punch these break ups can have.
Ultimatelty, I am looking forward to the author's next work which seems to be about a new game system.
Really good idea and even better execution
As some other stories it has a great twist to the common litrpg but as few others it actually stands on its own without depending on this new twist.
Great characters, surprisingly good world building with the little locations we have, and exelent grammar, definetly recomended
give me more #,,,# good work!
i can only recommend this novel to everyone. Additionally it leaves much room for further works connected to it. I am really looking forward to this authors future works
this is a title
An interesting well written story with a unique concept.
A different LitRPG
I can honestly say, that this is one of the more unique litrpg's i have read.
Certainly unique mechanics used in this story, and then the fights along with her struggles! The pace of the story may be a little fast overall, but it does not hinder the reading experience. Also written that it can be read as a short standalone book if you atleast dont read epilogue, while leaving open the obivious sequels that are coming.
Grammar and writing are near flawless.
I hope to see the sequel coming out eventually.
It's a very nice story
I realized I forgot to review this, so here it is. This story is pretty cool.
Weird mechanics keep everything interesting. It's easy to visualize the action scenes but they are quite different from any action scenes I've imagined before.
The description and grammar in the story are top notch.
The story is also pretty awesome.
It's perfect!
