I must say once again, Aya was honestly one of the least interesting characters imtroduced in Goddess School, or at least, that's what I thought! Really thought she was going to be a gag character but you have really proven that wrong, and it looks like in this story we will dive even deeper inside Aya's mind and past, learning about how her antics came to be.

Thanks for the review!
I'll do the same I did for the other comment and just talk more about Goddess School since I want to keep the direction of this story a mystery for now. This will be quite a ramble so feel free to skip reading if it's too long lol, it doesn't have anything to do with the current story and is just about my process in writing Goddess School.
The two-face/hidden personality was a gag/gimmick I'd intended to have on one of the main characters in Goddess School when I was first drafting the series. Meanwhile, the 'isekai' character was supposed to be a totally different character and hold more of a side role/only appear in the spinoff. So this is where the two characters that eventually combine to become Aya began.
Firstly, for the two-faced main character, she was supposed to be all cutthroat about graduating Goddess School because of a really serious secret backstory she has back on her home world(her family heads a conglomerate that leads many industries on her home world, but the Goddess is nearing the end of her term and they haven't managed to migrate most of their businesses out to a different world. To secure the future of her family's empire, she has to become a Goddess at all costs. There 's even more drama layered on top of that such as her older sister was the family's star who everyone pinned their hopes on, but she was the one who got picked instead, leading to jealousy and tension, but you get the gist of it). Sarah is naive and gullible, so much so that the character cannot even bear to take advantage of her when she sees her struggling with simple stuff(such as getting lost on the way to the health center), and even ends up helping Sarah multiple times despite her mind desperately telling herself that she shouldn't. Because of this, Sarah really respects and likes her and they end up becoming close friends. This, coupled with this character having a naturally kind personality despite her conviction, gradually makes her stop her cutthroat behavior.
As you can probably tell by now, the plot surrounding this character is way too bloated and convoluted to fit the vision of a light and breezy story I had for Goddess School(I would have to minimally triple the number of chapters, adding a lot of exposition and backstory reveals). And such, she was axed, and Sarah became the only protagonist in the story.
Now, for the 'isekai' character: she was meant mostly as a gag in Goddess School, just setting up a future side-story I had in mind about her return to Earth after receiving Goddesshood(sounds familiar?). I didn't draft too much of her personality yet at this point, I just knew that she was going to be a younger sister type character with her older brother not knowing about her true powers. After axing the second main character of Goddess School, I kinda had a vacuum to fill in the plot, which gave this isekai character the perfect opportunity to step up(since I had to show how she ascends to Goddesshood anyway if I wanted to write the story about her return to Earth). I gave her the two-face concept, but fitted it with the outward facade of an overly cute character to fit the little sister theme better. For the first character, I made her hidden personality kind, but for Aya, I made her true personality a little more rotten than that(it balances well since Sarah was already really kind).
Those were the initial building blocks for Aya and I just rolled with it, exploring as many ideas as I could while slowly constructing a comprehensive structure of who Koichiro Aya really is like. And that is how this story was born, and we will really go in-depth regarding Aya(personality, past, future, you name it). But you are going to have to read a LOT to get through everything. I really went bonkers with this story, so expect around...40+ chapters? I am a bit nervous about delivering her personality and its progression well though, since her personality is supposed to be conflicting and confusing, even to herself. But it'll be a good experience for myself as a writer either way, so I just have to hope it doesn't disappoint.

Fantastic start and also I think this is the earliest I have ever been to one of your stories lol.
I was expecting Aya to pull something and I was pretty surprised when she was so well behaved in goddess school but now shes definitely surpassed my expectations. Though everything she did in the previous story really was not that bad. Even when she had a planet dedicate themselves to worshiping her, they were genuinely happy and didn't want her to leave.
But that I guess was with her knowing that if she actually did anything evil then she would be quickly taken down and never get away with it, even if she did become grand goddess. But now in her universe she has absolute power with no one even having the slightest chance of stopping her.
Did she teleport back when she was full size, maybe she accidentally crashed into a continent, maybe she felt bad at first but then realized how powerful this made her feel and started destroying more places for fun. I wonder how she got started with all this.
Nice to see that she does genuinely care about her brother, it looks like a very wholesome relationship, aside from her casually committing mass murder secretly lmao.
Does her brother know about her true self and still loves her anyway or is he completely unaware. Though around her brother, her sweet kind persona may not be fake when it comes to her feelings for him. Definitely looking forward to see how their relationship progresses when he finds out what she has done and what she has become.
Does she have a domain, she seemed to teleport to space before she grew, is that her domain or something else? Also how has the world not found who she is, wouldn't they be able to see her giant face in the sky and then track down her identity? I wonder how she is disguising her destruction as natural disasters.
It looks like the only chance for her to be stopped is either through her brother emotionally or, if Ryemi decides to see how Ayas universe is doing and then sees her rampaging lol. Though I am looking forward to Ryemis reaction if she ever does find out.
Since Ryemi was the one who gave her the power in the first place and let her leave with it. So part of the blame does go to Ryemi for these billion innocent deaths. And I am assuming that by that time, it would be too late for Fae to revive them. Though if something like this does happen it will probably be at the end, you probably cant have Ryemi just coming into all your stories and fixing everything right away lmao.
Looks like the gentle tag is gone, its definitely been really nice reading nice wholesome stuff, but having a planet sized giantess,destroying things and having a great time is amazing and a lot of fun.
Unlike with Layla, this doesn't seem like anger and self hatred but more like Aya just enjoying her absolute power. Though she does genuinely love her brother, was grateful to Sarah and she can feel loneliness even when she had entire planet worshiping her. So she is not completely evil, but for now she gets to have a good loving relationship with her brother and indulge her desires.
Amazing chapter and I am really looking forward to more.

Thanks for the review!
You do seem to have a lot of thoughts going around regarding Aya and the direction the plot could go. It was all very interesting to read and I'm glad that you are so engrossed reading my work. But it is too early for me to comment on anything as of now, I'll just let everything be revealed in their natural course when future chapters are released.
I'd just like to say that the idea of Domains hasn't really been as significant a thing in the millions of years that passed since that really was an effect of Genesis's power. The mechanics with which Ryemi distributes divine energy is meant to be a little different from that, configured more intentionally towards ensuring the Goddesses have a body that's able to host continents and humans(e.g. a climate, gravity control, atmosphere). That being said, unique "divine" abilities can still randomly manifest in the Goddesses from time to time, but the mechanics as to how they manifest are not as predetermined and structured as Domains themselves(given that Ryemi's own power of Infinity is also unstructured and unpredictable).
I didn't really explain everything with regards to the lore of the Goddesses in Goddess School compared to how I did in The Origin because these details didn't seem as relevant to the story I wanted to tell in Goddess School. Additionally, Goddess School is more of just a peek into the universe under Ryemi's rule as I wanted to keep exposition more light; it's more akin to a slice of the pie rather than the whole pie.
I ended up talking a lot more about Goddess School/The Origin than I did about Aya, but that's because I would rather keep most details about this story a mystery for now. Hope you continue to enjoy the series!
