Description
I was ab*sed by my parents and about to be sold into s*avery, so I took my own life. When I awoke, I found myself in a different world. In a world where the color of one’s hair determines the magic one can use, and those with hair of a certain color cannot use magic and are scorned, I was reborn with black hair, which is ridiculed as the most inferior hair color. I was fed up with the misfortune from my previous life and almost gave up on everything, but now I decided to continue to live. I met my master who told me, “If you are going to throw away your life, use it for me rather than wasting it. My life changed when I met my master who said that to me. I made a vow. I vowed to devote my life to Noah- sama. I will follow you on your journey to the very end. So, Noah-sama, please be a little less selfish!

My Thoughts on The Grim Reaper, Shrouded in Darkness, Swears Fealty to a Lazy, Greedy Saint
"The Grim Reaper, Shrouded in Darkness, Swears Fealty to a Lazy, Greedy Saint" is a title that certainly grabbed my attention, and after diving in, I can see why it's sparked some diverse opinions. It's a fantasy yuri romance with reincarnation elements, a combination that definitely has potential. However, the execution seems to be a bit of a mixed bag.
First Impressions
The initial chapters seem promising, with decent translation quality and a mildly interesting premise. The author's writing style is expressive and fun, which immediately drew me in. I appreciated the character dynamics and the glimpses of combat. The world-building, while not immediately in-depth, held enough intrigue to keep me reading.
What Works Well
What stood out to me was the author's ability to create engaging characters. They felt alive, and I found myself invested in their relationships, especially the slow-burn yuri romance. The fight scenes were well-paced and exciting. I also liked the way the author handled the darker themes, even though they might not be for everyone.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the ending seems to be a major sticking point. The story concludes with a "to be continued" feel, which left me wanting more resolution. I understand why this might frustrate some readers, as it feels like the journey doesn't quite reach a satisfying conclusion.
