Delightfully Daring from Start to Finish

This review contains light SPOILERS, so tread carefully.

DelightDom is probably the ultimate power fantasy. It's 34 chapters of a girl acquiring the ultimate power (that of literal, actual godhood) and proceeding to gleefully ravage the world that SHE created. Just because she likes to destroy things. And also seeing people fawn over her because she literally created them.

And every bit of it is actually fairly enjoyable.

Get ready, because RAGNAROK has come.

The structure and form of the prose is a bit shaky at times. Capitalization, punctuation, and spelling are a bit iffy in places. The story jumps perspectives (going from "I" and "we" to "they" and back again) and tenses (usually in past tense, but sometimes jumping to the present and future) on occasion. But, at least in my opinion, none of that takes away from the actual narrative, which is among the most shamelessly fun isekai narratives I've read yet. Who needs protagonists who break all the rules when you can have a protagonist who literally MAKES her own rules?

The story takes a few daring steps in the crafting of its own narrative. Our world and the new world are intertwined in ways I have rarely seen in the isekai genre. The scale of grand battles and total warfare is not quite like anything I've quite seen before. It's like reading a history book towards the end of the story. The story takes “power fantasy” to impressive new heights. The story features several very strong and interesting characters from humans to orcs to elves and everything in between. The world often feels alive, especially in the Wilhelm plotline, in ways that even I wish I wrote, given how little time I had to write my own isekai contest entry.

I would have loved to see more of the story from the perspectives of the other gods, as the story portrays them as just as real and just as likely to win the Big War as Synthara is. But granted, that would have required the story to be expanded well beyond the intended scope of the isekai contest.

Overall, a very good read throughout and definitely one where I kinda want to see where things go from here.

As the title of this review suggests, this novel is Delightfully Daring. Definitely worth checking out.
