Wait, what?
Hey, I’d read it.
Given the second part and the people skills problem, maybe she was supposed to learn about friendship. I’m now picturing Kizzy writing a “Dear Creator” letter after every one of these adventures a la “Dear Princess Celestia...” Of course, with Shannon as a friend, those letters are going to get hilariously NSFW very quickly.
It does sound more like the idea of punishment via reincarnation (as you said, though, reincarnation traditionally allows the possibility of redemption in your new life). I suppose I wasn’t looking at it that way partly because of my own religious background, and partly due to the fact that the story elements place it pretty squarely in Judeo-Christian territory. Still, you’re not the first person to combine elements from those religions with Buddhist or Hindu concepts.
Bernice is probably fine, all told. She was shot in the head, which is a pretty instantaneous form of death (and she seemed not to have noticed what was happening to her body just beforehand), and given that she died assaulting a demon in an attempt to help an archangel, I don’t think there’s much doubt where she ended up. Honestly, the most unpleasant thing to happen to her after that was likely spending the next three quarters of a century to 100 trillion years becoming increasingly alarmed at not seeing the angel she was trying to help.
So what you’re saying is that this is a...*dons sunglasses* ...loose canon.
I apologize for nothing.
That’s exactly it. I didn’t want to get in trouble if AFF had a policy of not posting reviews by chapter once the story was completed. Okay, I was drinking something when I read this, so it’s a good thing I’m on my phone at the moment and didn’t get soda on a keyboard while laughing.
