DNF at 3%. It's an enormously long book (I understand the web serial is at over 10 million words), so I'm sure good things do happen, but unfortunately I don't think I want to work through it to get there.
The dichotomy of main characters is interesting. First there is Erin an innkeeper that is an overboard empathetic, crying over every misfortune. Next you have Ryoka who emotionally cuts off feeling anything good about anybody, or anything except running. Both characters run the extreme gamete of issues and challenges related to their mental settings. Erin finds joy in the mundane, while Ryoka only feels happiness in creating misery for herself. While Erin empathes with everything that comes into her scope, from ant men, to goblins, etc. etc. Ryoka commits social hari-kari by purposely driving people to hate her. This story though, its really drawn out, which it being originally a web serial doesn't surprise me. It tends to get carried away in the details. Other than that I liked it. I hope my interest can continue in book two.
I finished this and then realized it's a web series that I'm not even halfway through yet. OMG. I'm gonna take a break and then dive back in. The world building at the beginning of this book was fantastic. As time went on, hundreds and hundreds of pages later, I really missed what I considered to be the core characters. But that's like real life, no?

If the protagonist was portrayed as an eight-year old girl the dialogue would need no change. She is too stupid to survive in the real-world, much less a fantasy world with dragons and goblins.
