The
World's Strongest Witch Details
If you're
looking for a survival comedy where wit overcomes brute force, this premise
will grab you right away. The plot follows Rona Hermit (known as Lorna in some
translations), a young woman who is banished to her fate without money or food
when she manifests a power that her aristocratic family considers complete
garbage. However, when she hits rock bottom, Lorna discovers the true and
terrifying potential of her talent called "Internet": the exclusive
ability to read strategy guides and online forums about her
own world.
With this
god-level "trick", our protagonist has access to the most secret
routes, the farming of priceless objects and the exact
location of the rarest equipment in the kingdom, allowing her to forge the
free, opulent and untethered life she always dreamed of. Your only real
obstacle will be trying to figure out what the hell is meant by the strange
jargon of internet forums, such as the incomprehensible expression
"lmfao."
