- Aztecgeek13Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I just love the concept of the story. Great work so far.
- Bored monsterRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Imagine a complex machinal weapon who got himself a [System] whose sole purpose is to devour and grow. This. This(MC) is it.
- GreykoRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's the story about a barely sentient and yet not stupid AI which task is to destroy. Yet he is curious.
Style is neat, it didn't annoy me the little bit.
The story is about non-human protag which is murderhobo by nature, but the story puts an accent on the world's reaction aspect rather than murderhobo.
Grammar is nearly perfect.
We didn't see much of character interaction, but they do not annoy me in any way as xianxia bullshit amazment trope would, so it's fine by me. - JAM_91Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is a story about a hate machine. Do not ask what the machine hates, for it hates everything. Come and revel in the destructive hate of a planet destroying amalgamation of metal and magic that will royally ruin any opponents day.
- NoDragonsRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0a five star rating to doom you to algorithmic hell

so don't blame me - Primed UpRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I have been looking for a story like this for a while, and while there are other like it, they have all made the mc become more human in some way. But this! This is what I'm taking about! An unflinching calamity that will destroy everything! PRASE BE TO OUR ONE AND ONLY GOD HALAS!

These sorts of crazy OP inhuman MCs have a few different mechanisms to hold reader interest. It feels like the author is having trouble deciding which of these mechanisms are going to be the focus of the story. As a result, it's a little awkward as elements that originally seem to support going one direction suddenly start to get trivialized. Right now (Prince of Hell IV) the story is in a pretty strange spot where it's not clear at all how the story is going to hold interest going forward.
The main ways I see these stories going is to either have an amazing powerset that's just fun to think about, and fun to see used. This direction tends to have a some inherent difficulty in being the sole support for a long story, but that's not really relevant to this review because this route is pretty much closed off for the story at this point. It started out looking like it might be an option, but the story has moved to more of an anything-goes sort of style. The author will just pick whatever ridiculous fun thing they have in mind at the moment and use that to win. It's an okay way of ensuring the combat is always over quickly, and that the few words spent on it don't get too repetitive. But it's never going to be an element that holds reader attention.
Another route to take is to take a more character-driven approach. It's more about the humanization of the MC than anything else, and the process that takes and exactly where it ends up. Here the MC is so far from even being able to even know this sort of route exists that I'm kind of unsure about it. Some element of this is kind of required in these sorts of stories, and based on a few clues it seems likely that this is where it's going? But I also don't really see an "in" for this either. In other stories you might at least have the MC creating minions or something, which maybe could be used to begin the process of caring about something el - SandsforeverRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Enjoyable read
