You have been given a responsibility to fight crime with your prophetic dreams. Now you just need a whacky sidekick

Maybe it would work best as a solo game?

You’d have to keep the scope on a tight leash, which can work, but most isekai are about the power fantasy so it may work against itself from the beginning

It could be interesting though, having certain careers or skills translate over and having ties from the “real” world affecting the characters in the fantasy world. Granted, that could just as easily be hand-waved as the setting in an existing system through chargen choices made with that in mind

Ah, gotcha. Sadly that was the best guess I had lol, maybe one needs to be made

Review from Goodreads:
Outstanding!

Beowulf was so well done. She had clear motivations of the type of person she wanted to be. How she wanted to protect her people. When it's clear she will become Queen, seeing her agonise over a certain decision was something else. No matter what decision she made she would be going against her own morals and dishonouring herself. Unless... 😏

And the ending had me in tears despite knowing what was coming 😭

Review from Goodreads:
⭐ 5/5 ⭐

As someone who grew up fascinated with the epic of Beowulf, this sapphic retelling is a breath of fresh air. If you are already familiar with the story, then reading this won’t be too hard to follow. I love how easy it is to understand with the familiar characters and places. With a modern take on the writing tone, it felt like reading the Witcher books. It absolutely felt more emotional for me, especially the ending. I truly loved this version of Beowulf more, and I wished she had been given more adventures.
