Azarinth Healer

There is no crisis to be resolved, the mc is op but not to the point where she will have to step forward to save the world. This is more the easygoing, slice of life of a battle-junkie grinding out her skills and levels from the system.

I actually prefer stories that are just about batttle junkies (or other eccentrics like crafting-maniacs or mad-scientist), which this story seems to be. It;s not a tense story about a hero with the weight of the world on thier shoulders, not about offending young masters and then exterminating their clan, not about facing the entire world. Its not just a humourous slice of life without any action either, though I find it funny.

This is the simple adventure of a slightly op battle-junkie type girl. The fighting scenes are great and entertaining. The slice of life is light, funny and refreshing. The system is grindy, straightforward and(for her)power progressive(fast).

Edit(36 chapter): Changed score after reading detailed reviews abit(especially oinos and ninetails). Though I have a different view on scoring, the minor errors are there, though not very impactful to the quality of the work and are becoming rarer. MC will hopefully pick up interesting long-term companions/side characters soon.

Edit: I think I'm kinda dumb to just realise she has a job that treats magic like qi. She literal has most the skills qi cultivators do.

Fuck off mate this is better than like 98% of everything on RR.

Competantly written, little to no mistakes, characters thatr have CHARACTER!!(something all too rare on RR) and pretty good world building (show not tell , no aweful word-wall of exposition) MC not too over/underpowered has a cool "special" gimmiky thing but the way she gets powerful with that is with hard work not handouts, and even then, any fights that are given a bit of detail are fairly close and downright brutal.

8/10 fuck you author, this is something special and you know it.

Well, everybody and their dog has written an overview of this fiction and I'm not the one person to be deterred by that, so here's one more to the avalanche.

I've been reading this opus periodically since the time it had about 200 pages (that's when I like to pick up fresh stuff) and it has gotten progressively better. I remember the time I started reading it and thought: "the grammar is weird and the POV even weirder", but it was still at least a little bit enjoyable so i grit my teeth and stuck with it.

Lo and behold, it has gotten a lot better and the authour even revwote the bad grammar and the weird POV in the earlier chapters. And since then it has became the nicely flowing slice of life LitRPG that you can take as a bechmark for others, that still has stuff to go for.

P.S.: I've since reread the whole (up to now around 220 chapters) story twice and still find it nice.

I spent some time thinking about which category I was least content with to withdraw half a star so that my review doesn't come off as "I indiscrimately give 0 or five stars to everything I like" But I couldn't decide, so I just left it like that.

I first encountered this story when it was trending, read two chapters and was put off by the (then) mix of present and past time in the story. So I put it on my "Read later" list, because it had promise and sometimes the author comes back around and fixes such things. Well, the author did.

This is an amazing story and even better, it gets updated very on a very regular basis. The characters feel alive, you can understand everyones motivations, the MC is relatively OP, but earned it the hard way and the combat is intensely satisfying.

At Chapter 243 as of now.

I have read many stories on here. Most of the time the characters act and react very emotional and oftentimes plain stupid. While there is an argument to be made that this is just their character, it's still bad writing in my opinion.

It's like in many popular anime in which the protagonist is extremely dumb but strongly driven and thus can overcome every foe. Their sudden flashes of inspiration seem to be deus ex machina. Their foresight pulled out of the author's ass.

All of that is not true for Azarinth Healer, while Ilea is not quite sane, her actions are comprehensible. There is no harem, there is no super-intelligent adversary, there is no big bad villain, it's just life. A life in a strange world, but life nonetheless and the characters act accordingly. I also like the author's take on romantic relationships, it seems mature and not like a teenagers fantasy. You don't always need to have a convoluted plot with twists at every turn to make a good story. True, there isn't much at stake but that's how it is in life outside of books. The story is more about plain adventuring, learning new things, seeing forgotten lands... which is interesting because the world-building is done nicely.

All in all, one of the best stories on RoyalRoad. In quality comparable to Metaworld Chronicles and Mother of learning. At least in my opinion. 

Thank you so much for writing this story. It's very rare that a story makes you feel right at home and relaxed, awesome writing style and engaging characters. Read all chapters so far (112) in one sitting. So good <3

An awesome story. Although it might seem like another LitRPG, it's definitely not. The style of the story and the way the system works is different from the others. The author has broken the norm that most such stories have. The Protagonist is an independent female ( my first book with a female main) and there is no harem!!! also the author doesn't repeat his story arcs at all. And the protagonist isn't an undefeatable godly figure and experiences near death experiences a lot. The only downside IMO is that the author seems to be afraid to kill the side characters. We shouldn't feel that everyone is safe. It takes away from the excitement of the story. Although please don't kill Kriyan. 

This is my favorite novel on this site. So I'm biased :)

Something about this novel really speaks to me. Something how the main charcter isn't perfect but has morals. Is a battle junkie and just enjoys being in the world. The world that everyone fears and hates, she seems to love and reveal in it. 

Seeing humainty for what it is and finding solace in solitude is what really sells this to me. Please never stop writing. If you start another novel please keep with the theme of solitude :)

Bluntly... This story has stolen my life.  
Since the Author has started daily updates, I've started daily re-reads whilst waiting. 

No life, No Regrets.

It's absolutely wonderful, I love the idea of warrior healers, and I keep imagining a story on it and then BAM I found this brilliant depiction of what a unique warrior healer would be like. The humurous tone throughout the story also makes it easy to read, and I'm someone who like skipping over the more boring descriptors, but the author just keeps things interesting throughout - love it!
