Awakening of a Monster

Description

Amon, despite his name, was a normal guy. Went to school, practiced martial arts, went out to do stuff with his friends. But what happens to him when the world doesn't let anyone be normal anymore? Well, like everyone else, he changes.

Is it a good change or the very opposite? Who knows. All Amon knows is that he's not normal anymore.

The story is good as always. The author is such a being. I'm a simple person, I like it, I read it. And I like the author's stories, this included.
I'll support this author until they stop or I become disabled/dead. Or I stop reading period, which is highly unlikely. I bet on it.
Demons (hint hint). Dragons, bloodlust, arrogance, badass, heroes (though not in depth just yet.) Aliens (keep them off your face, Ripley). All sorts of good stuff.
Edit: As a side note. Why is it that I have five dislikes for this? Did you guys not like my joke? I wasn't false when I originally listed those things. Now it has some slight Ero. It's not very fine-tuned, but it's a WIP

High I just found this story and started reading, the way the system is set up is really unique and interesting. The characters are really fun and I would love if you picked this story back up and put it off hiatus. I’ve actually recently shared it with my brother

I personally have been a fan of your work for some time now, granted I dont personally think you're stuff is a list but its pleasant to read and has a style that I really like, for one I really like OP world you seem to build a place and world where things only keep escalating yes the Mc mabey op but so is everything around him that includes his enemies and the challenges approaching him. Sadly you seem to drop many novels which unfortunately gives no real payoff to the stuff that's being built up.
The story aspect is not the strongest but that really doesn't matter I like shutting off when I read your stories after a stressful day at work I really just like to unwind and read your stuff.
Grammar is very tricky I'm personally writing my own story and I and a friend have to check maybe three times for every page we make just to be somewhat satisfied with the results and we post a chapter mabey once a week and that's if where lucky and considering you try to release a chapter a day i am completely satisfied with the grammar.
I wont get to much into character but I will say this I love warrior type mc's I like the hit fist ask questions later and I absolutely love when thier physical powerful is up the roof I just like warriors and you have never ever disappointed me with any of your mc's you made with your other novels
I understand that you dislike bad reviews and it makes you feel down but you should use that and make it better improve on your work and see if you can turn it around dont drop this one I love how you made the mc I like the style and I want to see where this story goes please keep at it and I love your stuff.

BTW: 3.5 for me is a pretty high rating for me. most things get a 2.5.
As of chapter 20
I was kinda disappointed when you dropped the old story, but this one is a lot better.
Story: the previous novel (devil cult in abt world) had a general lack of direction in the story, but this one is doing better. There seems to be some kind of war that is going to happen and the author is constantly hinting at it. However, the current story is pretty much training (which is actually super entertaining to me and many fans in RR). One thing I can't get over is how quick the discrimination flew in, as soon as the world changed, basically, the discrimination popped in. Felt a bit too fast. You could say that it happened before the change (for those who knew about it), but there are still things that dont fit in. Also why are the higher ups okay with this kind of descrimination? arent they supposed to be on one side?
System: I liked it, and didn't like it. The reason is its pretty similar to your previous novel, although not being a completed novel, it seems like this is just a better version of that one. Really like the racial inclusions, at the same time not losing too much of the original personality of characters.
Style: Dont notice too much. Although many times you use the same words constantly to describe the MC. Maybe trying something more sensory based, like the "the red aura seeped out his skin forcing a terrfying pressure. My knees started to wobble...". Although, that doesnt really fit your style.
Grammar: Don't really notice anything.
Character: The characters are kinda generic, which for these types of stories are generally fine since character development takes a lot of time. But wish they could have a bit more individual touches, but its a story based, so it can live with it. (although really don't like the slight harem emerging). Also your characters act very strange somtimes, their lack of resistance and change makes them feel a bit fake.

Interesting concept but the extreme cliche of their group and his mom being some of the most powerful people on the planet seems insane, unless there are lots of heroes which isn’t touched upon. Grammar and progression could use some smoothing out but the style isn’t bad. Other than grammar you just really need a storyboard to help with your pacing. Good luck and keep writing :)

Seriously needs a good editor.
Complicated sentences, TMI during descriptions and very quick turns in the story.. these are just a few of the problems that make me dump it.

The story is decent as long as you don't think about what you read and just accept what you are told. Problem is I can't. Each chapter is a struggle as information and actions don't match up with how it would realistically play out. I can only suspend my disbelief and credulity so far. Each chapter is shallow and not well thought out.
The characters don't act for the most part in any realistic manner. They all seem to be robots that don't think to question anything and just go with the flow. What's going on? What abilities do I have now? What is with the strange company popping up out of now where? How were they able to kill these giant monsters? Why should I join them? Where are they taking me? All of these are the kinds of questions that should be going through their minds but are rarely asked.
Then there is the way people act. Three random people awaken into some kind of orc and the first thing they do is break into a random home and attempt to rape the women. Really? Or the fact that Amon kills them and feels nothing about taking another beings life. Or how about the mother and friends. The day after the attack from the orcs an agent of this mysterious company shows up and tells the mom, Jax and Molly that they are needed and to come with him. And they just go. WHAT? How about some realism. How about I don't know you and I am not going anywhere and I most certainly am not leaving my son. That would be how a real mother would act. Also, where is Amon's father in all of this? Where are the parents of the other kids? Aren't they worried about them?
The part that did it in for me was when we are told how this company knows what it knows. Apparently this advanced alien race sent ships to earth. Ships capable of intergalactic travel with the ability to terraform life on earth. Humanity discovered them and even shot one of them down. As if our technology and weaponry is advanced enough to do so. Don't think about it just accept it. Then we easily gained access to thei
