ASPECT SUMMONER - MONSTER COLLECTING / RAISING / EVOLUTION PROGRESSION LITRPG

Description

Aspects; The primary source of defense for the sapient beings integrated by the system. Summonable from a drifter’s mana, aspects took many forms, forms learned through slaying the monsters made by the system in the universe—creating a copy of said monster fighting on their behalf.

To gain strength, drifters needed to slay monsters and level their aspects, grasping their way to reach a stage where evolution happened. From there, each created their own versions of those monsters, conjoined by multiple species and forms as they rose through the ranks.

Their growing power gave them a shot to thrive—to grapple fate into their hands. Those deemed extraordinary rose, charmed the hearts of those stuck with them, formed groups, then kingdoms, then empires, then they searched the answer through the stars and the infinite expanse of space.

Such was the world Theron Gray woke up into.

Release schedule: 04:00 to 06:00 UTC, daily on weekdays.

    So far the story is a treat to read. I'm not sure who thought the main character was an "edgelord PC," but I didn't get that vibe at all. Despite being a progression fantasy most of his strength comes from his summons and each one is at least slightly different from the others. Grinding exists, but our author has a decent sense of when to gloss over and summarize events, so it isn't boring. The incremental upgrades creatures get as they evolve are interesting choices with there are real consequences for the story.
    Also, the threat of death is consistent, but not constant. So our main character is being careful without being a coward. More than once he's looked at a problem and decided he would come back and tackle it when he was ready and that was the right choice not just for the character, but for the story.
    This isn't pokemon, and there are no easily accessible ways of bringing out KO'd creatures, and that is a pretty refreshing take on the genre. Also, the system is rather fun to figure out the workings of which is always a plus.
    So far my only complaint is that it's too short.

    Was looking to find a book that had the summoner troupe and found this gem. Love the mechanics for the summoning that gives it plenty of room to explore. I'm not if it's because its still early into the story, but I find the main character lacking in growth and I don't feel a connection to him. The only parts I look forward to are the fight scenes and the exploring of the Aspects and the mechanics of the summoning. Overall I really like the story and I can't wait to see more creative and powerful Aspects!

    Realy good story. Something new, the grammer is good the style also good. The only problem is that there are only 12 chaptets.
    Like I said there are no problems with the style. It is very fast-paced story.
    Personaly I would choose the tiger. Becouse wolfes are very generic and often chosen.

    An easy read with an interesting system. Picked it up and burned through all of the available chapters in about 2 days. Main character is somewhat morose but it makes perfect sense after reading the first few paragraphs of the first chapter. Writer also looks to update on the regular which I love. Cannot wait for updates.

    Was a good story until the author decided to drop it for what ever reason. Was hoping that the author would continue with the story.
    Things that I like are.
    The evolutions for the summons.
    The MC not being whiny and moralizing why he shouldn't put down people trying to kill him.
    Things I dislike are.
    The author dropping the story.
    The info dump / comparison of evolution paths. I am not interested in the specifics on how this path gets extra what ever stats, while this other path gets other stats..... It's enough for me to know. That's a magic path, that's a tank path, that's a DPS path. Oh and this one is a crowd control path.

    The idea is simple enough. Pet based system and extended world.
    use of commonly known animals with slightly different traits to establish an understanding of how the system works. However, there is no world where a wolf would be able to kill a tiger 1v1. The physical abilities of the wolf would have to be significantly enhanced beyond what is reasonable for what is being described. On top of that the because of a wolf's anatomy and how they hunt there is still little chance a wolf would beat a tiger.
    bears are also incomparable but let's continue with the tiger example.
    they are the apex predator in the most dense survival competitive environment in the world. 1v1 very little is going to beat a tiger.
    the main character to walking around with a wolf.
    once the different animals and creatures have magic and stuff their physical capabilities won't matter as much. But the tutorial is using only mildly enhanced animals.
    a wolf's joints aren't made for a lot of maneuver. They hunt by ripening at limbs tiring out what their killing. A tiger hunts with adept manuvarablity of both its front and back claws and are genetically programmed to rip out throats as fast as possible.
    Bears are deceptively fast for pound for pound power they hold. They would rag doll a singular wolf then eat it alive, literally.
    The animals idea isn't bad and could work but they three opening animals are two far in terms of capabilities.
    what would have been better would be for the opening three choices to be different system variants of wolf and to have a system enhanced scavenger animal as the first mobs to level on.
    Only once the MC is majorly enhanced and both he and the environment are far in the magic, logic irrelvant part of the story should heavy hitters like bears and tigers get brought up.
    it wouldn't even have to be very long before the system muddies the waters of who could kill who. It just isn't passed for it to make any sense by its own logic.
    this is only really a critique for the earl

    At 5 chapters in you should have a relatively good idea what the story is all about (up to chapter 37 at least). give it to maybe 7 or 8 if you are still unsure.
    It appears there was a fair about of editing done to quell the complaints of some people. Everything appeared fine for me, but I only ever really get caught up some pretty obsurce word use. Mainly Juxtipose and its ilk - it is like my brain hates the word.
    In line with that if you are a word victim or something, the other has a love(?) of the word "sable" so you should look that up first...
    Overall I had a really good read.

    If sometimes you just want to read something more simple with very nice progressing RPG elements, this story is just for you. Sometimes simple stories are the best to cure your boredom, without epic cliffhangers, and dramatic betrayals/revenges + that i love the most at the moment(29 chapters) is good balance progression without overpowering god's chosen summons/abilities. Quite enjoyable

    Starts solid and keeps it there like any good beginning. MC uses their head and recognizes the potential issues and benefits a summoner brings to a survival. And, a big And here, uses those plans to move forward, to struggle on.
    The story paints him as a pragmatic, resourceful, and careful survivor. Thrown into a apocalypse long before we meet him, we find a man at an end no one wanted. All the blame for it has long fallen to the wayside as people still try to live.
    Enter the prize, a system has found what's left of the world and given survival a chance. But can mankind make themselves more? Or are we going to make the same mistakes?
    The tutorial has begun, and the people are just finding their feet in a place that could spell defeat screaming in the dark or a victory with summons more than one man could hope to achieve. What will it be? Will the man grow stronger and evolve into more? I can't wait to see.

    Really good  story so far! Only has twelve chapters so far but the story has started off very stong and hopefully keeps it up. I wish there was a more clear chapter schedule though so that I knew when new chapters will be released. I think that this book will probably end up doing very well when it ends up being published
