SELFDOM: A Goddess' Odyssey
(2025) IN RE-EDITING PROCESS! (Current progress: 1/149)
I wanted to let you know that I haven't updated in a while because I've been busy re-editing everything. I've altered the prologue, character names, and other details that didn't convince me. I'll be back soon with an improved version of SELFDOM. I'm proud of how it's turning out, so I hope you like it too!

------------------------------
Sabrina's dreams were a crack in her sanity. Worn down by insomnia, her mind spirals, barely able to hold onto what’s real. In a desperate attempt to help, her friends take her on a journey, but what begins as a search for salvation ends in bloodshed. Hunted and murdered by a stranger who seems to know them, Sabrina awakens—but not as herself.
Now, she's Itziar: a divine, fearsome entity trapped in a world where danger and deceit lurk in every shadow. With her memories shattered and her sense of 'self' slipping through her fingers, Itziar struggles to piece together who she was, and how she ended up in this surreal world.
〚 Synchronization: 0%... 18%... 27%...〛
A strange system bombards her with cryptic notifications. But as the synchronization increases, so does the feeling of something dark creeping into her soul—or perhaps, the reawakening of something monstrous buried deep within her.
As fragments of her past resurface, Itziar uncovers a chilling truth: her reincarnation was no accident. The more she uncovers, the more she feels herself slipping away, losing the humanity she once fought so desperately to hold on to.
In a world that idolizes her as a savior and fears her as an executioner, Itziar faces an internal battle: embrace the darkness of her former self and risk becoming the monster she once was, or cling to the remnants of her humanity, fighting to prevent her destruction—and possibly the world’s.
I can count the actual reviews I’ve left on one hand. This story has captured my interest enough to leave some words behind. The main character is amazing and the writing is smooth, lovely to read, and makes me smile. Thank you author for sharing your gift with the bibliophiles of this app.
The writing quality is amazing! Each paragraph draws me into the story and I can feel and see the same as them, as if I were living in the moment. The pacing may be kinda slow for some, but it's perfect for me because the author explains more about the world background in a way it doesn't feel hard to keep up. The descriptions are wonderful! I'm a fan of the little lezaali!
Very, very good writing and supper detailed description that make the characters look alive and very different from each other or any generic character you might expect. Would recommend :]

I came all the way here following this author and was so happy to know she got what she deserves! So I made and acc just to read this novel so never drop it! I'm supporting you wholeheartedly! Character's design, story development, world background, writing quality, all are top-notch! You won't regret reading this masterpiece, believe me and give it a try! The FL won't disappoint you, and here the side-characters feel alive, not just like filling a role and fading in the bg later. I'm waiting everyday only to read this!
Well-rounded and fully dimensional characters. Every trait of their personalities has a motive behind it, and they don't act one way for the sake of it! Even the descriptions are varied and the characters feel alive, showing us that everyone is not perfect but there's beauty in their differences. You will love some and hate some, so it shows how well they were made. The author takes time to introduce to the world background in a perfect way, so it doesn't feel like those stories where the whole chapter is a lot of information where one cannot keep up and the ends up skipping it. I like the FL so far, she's sassy and doesn't mince her words. I can't wait for the ML to show up!
I liked the development of the story very much. It's interesting and captivating. I am looking forward to read more chapters . Keep up the good work 😊
The story sounds great, like silent sweet torture, I like it. The synopsis is awesome and piques interest, I haven't yet read the story but I assure you that I will comment per chapter when I begin to read it. All the best dear writer.
Out of all the fantasy novel's I've read so far, none of them contained this much immense amount of creativity and world building. The language skills are perfect as everything has been described so pitch perfectly. The author sure has done his research thoroughly before starting this novel as literally there's so much happening in every single chapter. Although I wish if author could describe the character's personality a bit more, ig it's still okay since this is a fantasy genre(?) I may not be very good at English, but I can tell there were hardly any grammatical mistakes and since the author seems so fluent in English, it gets very easy to imagine the scenes playing in my imagination smoothly as well. I don't know if this is true or not, but being a moderate English speaker, like many readers on this platform, I think having a easy vocabulary might help you as well as readers a lot since otherwise it might break the flow of reading. It can sometimes get overwhelming you know? Atleast for some. With that aside, I wish the author all the best for this novel to succeed since trust me, it really has a great potential in it. Keep writing with all honesty
Woah...just reading the first chapter and im like lets turn this into a movie, the writing is on point, not mention world background and the character design. well done author[img=recommend]
The characters are well put together, they have defined personalities and the effort put behind each one is noticeable. They stay true to their personality and I like that. The world is nicely explained and structured, and the creatures so far are impressive. Each chapter will surprise since you won't be able to predict what will happen next! Plus the author likes to drop new plot clues in unexpected places, so stay tuned!
