Synopsis

In an ancient town of catholic roots in the Pre-War America of 1935, strange events and phenomena often manifest in the worst of their forms.

Vanilla Land, a 16 years old outcast and weirdo with access to magical plushes —ancient and powerful totems capable of summoning powerful spirits and powers for its users— loves to explore wicked places, investigate mysteries, and even fight horrid abominations when necessary.

And it's in one of these explorations where she suddenly meets her abrupt when she and a powerful apparition destroy each other. The result? A powerful, demonical entity is impressed by her actions and gives her a second opportunity to live again.

She must perform a series of tasks for such an entity —not without getting rewarded with more powerful artifacts and plushes— but in the end, everything points out that there's an ancient source of power capable of redefining reality. And she's not the only one trying to reach it...

Come and find out all events that Vanilla had to go through in that dying town of supernatural events, eccentric creatures, and unexpected personalities getting in her way.

    As a Grimdark book lover and author, I think this novel is one of my favorites so far for this year. With creatures on the streets, magic in the air, dangers lurking in the dark, bloody adventures, and interesting friendships, I think it's worth the shot!

    Hello there, shameless author here! Well, I gotta say that for a story this long only 19 free chapters is too little, but they were 55 originally! thing is that they were too short (most not even reaching the 1k words) so I decided to stick them together. However, Webnovel locks a specific chapter, not a specific number, so the free chaps automatically got reduced. However, the same content of those 55 chaps is still free, only that reduced to 19 chapters of about 3-3.5k words each! they are about 1.5k from there on, so those are still normal. Thanks for the comprehension! This is a story I had lots of fun writing. I hope you have the same fun reading it! [img=recommend]

    The letter that started this narrative glazed my face with a smile. It's good to have some play around words and make a work or story another home for the readers. This will turn out well of course.

    first story that makes me actually like the MC as a human not as a character Tbh a lot of novels here are either edgelord guy or hero guy or the lovestruck girl with 20 IQ this one is the first that can actually be relatable if you were in the protagonists shoe's (she was bullied and stuff) I'm not really good at writing reviews and whatever but just wanna say that MC is relatable and cute and badass

    Hmmm, Where will I start, Writing quality, I've seen no problems, or if it does maybe I miss it because each of your narratives was so engrossing to read. Plus this has already 90 plus chapters which are already great for binge reading. The characters especially the mc have real personalities and not just some bland carbon copy. The world background is very detailed. I see no problems there. Great work author!

    This is a high quality read. The first few chapters are spent setting up the world and the core cast of characters and I must say I was quite immersed and can't wait to read more. The protagonist is a great well-rounded character, facing countless obstacles in her early life, but has a strong personality as is evidenced by the way she defends herself verbally and physically when a gang of bullies target her. Spelling and grammar are top top notch and the prose flows along nicely, making this easy to read and enjoyable. Highly recommended reading!

    Even if it's a male story, it makes you feel like you're in it. I really loved it. To be honest, ever since the first time I saw it I fell in love with the context. Vanilla Land, I hope that you'll be in my dreams! ❤️❤️

    Review Updated: July 2nd, 2021. So yeah, only the first 20 chapters are free, but they are long in return (about 3k words on average, I'd say, double the average in most stories here), So you're getting a worth of some 40-50 chapters free. There used to be more chapters free but they were short and it seems like the author stuck them together into larger ones. I think it's good. It makes the readability smoother. It's a nice, underrated story. Not very typical for what we're used to seeing here on Webnovel, but there are lots of epic/creepy/emotional moments, and you can always learn something from its characters and their setting. This female MC is very well written (although acts a little dumb at first) but she's smart and brave overall. She starts a little weak but gets stronger as the story advances. She's interesting to follow, and some will find her relatable. So yeah, I recommend this story to everyone. (I really like how she looks on this infantile drawing. It's the author's cover :3)
