Five-star reviews from readers who have stepped into the Dream World.
Great read good story really enjoyable read. Sooo koi is storytelling and good characters. Strongly recommend it for a read.
I devoured this volume! It was such a quick and fun read. I'm in love with Ansley, knightly female characters are my weakness. I'd recommend to anyone who's a fan of Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf/Konosuba or isekai fantasy in general.
I quite enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next volume. If you enjoy adventure, character growth, friendships and action, you'll enjoy this. The artwork is beautiful as well.
