Description

The Afterlife isn't always what you think…

The loving father of three children, Alfred lived a life of few regrets. He served his country far from home. He outlived his soulmate. He died alone.

However, Albert's intentions about a peaceful eternity, reunited with his wife, are thrown out the window when a meddling god digs his fingers into Albert’s afterlife.

The positive? He has a chance to make things right—to live the life that was so cruelly taken from him the first time. Reincarnating into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, and sassy ten-year-old elves, Albert worries he doesn't have a chance of surviving the three-hundred-years the god promised it would take to reunite him with his beloved.

But if life has taught Albert anything it’s this: If something is worth having, it's worth fighting for. And he intends to fight.

This looks to be the start of a very promising RE: novel. More chapters is the only thing this novel needs as they are rather short and quick to read through!

I love this novel. Thats the gist of it. I come by every day *2 days now* to see if its updated, because its so good. The style is neat I personally havnt seen a novel like this before, being light hearted and funny and seriouse and badass. Grammar... if i see no issues than its 5 now aint it? Story, well its very interesting so far with the gods hating each other and doing naughty things so good time there, Torgas psychotic love for his wife is fun to, however besides the god stuff the story is pretty simple of "get strongth see wife". Character is 10/10 I LOVE TORGA HE IS TOP CHUCKLE. Torga is a cranky old man that is very amusing and very cool. Giant snake is not a reincarnation ive seen before, old man isnt somthing ive seen before so originality is *mwa* bootiful. Also his antihero-ness is very neat since Torga is a good guy, however Food > people *this guys my bloody spirit animal*. Basically amazing novel which frequently gets updated with juicy chunks and is basically the closest thing to a legal drug that wont kill you :D.

Now, I'm not one to give 5 star reviews, so 4.5 it is.
Into more details, the story itself is very solid, although not quite developed yet, but that's simply due to the lack of chapters out right now. That'll probably change.
Style is amazing. I really like the colored text for each character, it makes them feel unique.
Grammar's good, and as a grammar nazi, that's saying a lot.
The character is a little lacking in my opinion. Read: MY OWN OPINION. I personally don't like when characters really want to do something, in this case find his wife (not really spoiler cause it's even in the synopsis). However, everyone else would probably like it, and if I ignore that, the character is really good. Determined, sharp-minded and doesn't have a deus-ex-machima at his fingertips... or scales, I guess.
Overall: READ IT!!! You're not gonna regret it. I sure didn't, at least.
Without love, from the Cat-loving author. And snake-lover now, I guess. <3

I've read a number of reincarnated monster stories so I wasn't really expecting anything to unique from this one.
I'm happy to say I was wrong and I've enjoy the story a great deal and can't wait for the rest!
