A lot of series in this genre try to pull off a lovable dumb otaku main character, but few succeed as well as this one does. My main story complaint comes with the way the kids are written—they feel WAY too self-aware to be eight year olds, with the exception of Katarina operating from a teenager-with-one-brain cell mindset. There was also a ridiculous amount of repetition when each chapter would flip perspectives, forcing a lot of skim reading on my end. Despite that, it’s still a joy to read about Katarina unknowingly charming her way out of her foretold bad ends because of her lovable personality.
