    Why It Should Get Picked Up:     I love characters that lack common sense, and the story kind of reminded me of lightning empress maid novel I read before, the MC being a very capable maid (perhaps too capable) yet also has flaws to their character and a complicated past.
    Description:
    Elma, who was raised in a prison, was pardoned and released. Though she tries to heed her mother's words to be "normal," while working as a maid in the royal palace, her outlandish abilities and behavior end up shaking it up in its entirety. Completing a job in one morning that would take four people an entire day, brewing tea that tastes like it was blessed by the heavens, cutting up a giant tuna with one stroke, even surgical procedures more esoteric than healing magic are her specialty.

    "This much is normal outside of prison, isn't it?"

    The curtain opens on a story of an inadvertently peerless girl who had intended to be normal.

    I love OP maids, and I love misunderstanding comedy due to lack of common sense protagonists.
    Girl, what type of prison were you in!?

    Also, just a translation note, but rather than "Corrupt world", this ジャバ means "life after prison", so I would translate the title as: "Normal" Outside of Prison is Hard

    I'm the middle of reading on this novel too.
    the author story telling skill is really good. Not much difficult words or ambiguity explanation nor flow. Interesting concept, but yet really light to be read.

    And yes, I agree the "prison condition" is really intense. So far, I'm really enjoying and recommending this novel.
    Also, I'll hold myself to sprout out more spoilers since it seems this thread is the discussion thread.

    Anyway, really recommended this one
