Description
Fia, who was aiming to be a knight as the daughter of a knight, remembers her previous life as a “great saint” when she was on the verge of dying. . . . Huh? Saints are a revered profession because they’re so weakened and on the verge of extinction, right? The only saintly power I use is the ‘lost magic’ that has become a fairy tale. Come to think of it, in my previous life, the Demon Lord’s right hand man threatened to kill me if I was reincarnated as a saint. If I use this kind of power, they’ll know that I am a saint and will probably kill me in one fell swoop. . . . so I’ll become a knight as per my original intentions! I will live quietly! Nah, I thought about it, but I’ll use the power I have because it’s too useful . . .

My Thoughts on The Reincarnated Great Saintess Hides the Fact That She Is a Saintess!
This web novel, The Reincarnated Great Saintess Hides the Fact That She Is a Saintess!, definitely gave me a mixed bag of feelings. The premise itself – a reincarnated saintess trying to keep her past identity a secret – isn't groundbreaking, but I was hoping for a fresh take on the familiar trope. Did it deliver? Let's dive in.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the potential for humor and lightheartedness. The idea of a powerful saintess desperately trying to downplay her abilities seemed ripe for comedic situations. And, I have to admit, the manga adaptation's art is pretty appealing, which piqued my initial interest.
What Works Well
The humor is definitely a strong point. I found myself chuckling at the protagonist's denseness and the absurd situations she gets into. It seems the author knows how to write funny moments, and I appreciate that the story seems more focused on plot and comedy than forcing a romance that doesn't quite fit. I also enjoyed that the side characters aren't completely oblivious to her denseness, which adds another layer to the comedic dynamic. The friendship aspect is definitely a plus for me.
Areas of Concern
One thing that did bother me was the potential for the protagonist's denseness to become grating. There's a fine line between funny and frustrating, and sometimes it felt like she was making questionable decisions that felt artificially dumbed down for the sake of the plot. Also, the side stories seem to take up a considerable amount of space, and sometimes feel like they inflate the numbers.

Final Verdict
Overall, The Reincarnated Great Saintess Hides the Fact That She Is a Saintess! is a fun, if somewhat flawed, read. If you're looking for a lighthearted fantasy novel with plenty of humor and a dense protagonist, this might be right up your alley. Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief at times and embrace the absurdity. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
