Sigh. This book is really dumb. The author really, really wants to explore a protagonist with an insane "Luck" stat and I actually admired the way they got there, even if it was a little silly. I mean, no game I have ever seen rolls "skills" into some "advanced stat" mechanic. But hey, it gets Jane a bunch of free stat points through an exploit. That she squanders in a really stupid way. And I'm not talking about maxing the Luck stat.

This is an example of the dumb so I'm going to explain. Jane finds that her stats all start at 5. And then figures a way to amass over six hundred stat points. So she puts them all into Luck, leaving all her regular stats at 5. No systems thinker would do this (and her background is as a systematic thinker). I polled the gamers in my proximity (two) and both said the obvious: you bump all stats to at least ten, even if you want to go all-in on one of them. You'd still have over six hundred points to make your Luck play, after all.

Anyway, this is an example of the dumb. One more before it feels like I'm just piling on. She lands in a desert. With sand dunes. Her way of traversing said dunes? Climb up one side, fall down the other. That's right. She tumbles down the sand dunes. Repeatedly. Like this is how you desert.

Okay, one more. She goes at least a week in the desert without finding any water. She gets a "dehydrated" debuff that starts taking off health. Until she eats raw sand scorpion. That removes the "dehydrated" debuff. Because that's how you hydrate. With raw meat. Can I mention again how she maxed out her Luck stat? And the author doesn't seem to have considered that finding water in a desert when you're dying might be an opportunity to show how "luck" works. I mean besides having an automatic "I win" button in every fight...

I finally quit when she enslaved a bunch of demons accidentally and her thrashing around with that circumstance was just . . . weird.

One star. Which is sad because an isekai who maxes luck has potential to be interesting.
