Ooooh. This was right on the edge of too silly, for me, but somehow it wasn't. This is an isekai/portal fantasy, in which a young woman with stage four cancer gets popped into a high fantasy, extremely high drama setting, and finds herself the villain ('villain') of the piece; hilarity, gore, betrayal, love and all that good stuff ensues. Overblown fantasy has always been my jam, and this is both a love letter to and a gentle lampoon of it, so even though some of the Americanisms made me actually cringe, if that sounds good to you, I recommend.
