  Well, as for the people whining about the story being slow, it's really not. In an evolution story, the plot shouldn't solely be evolving, but have some other things going on. Also, some good concepts that are new. It's a fun read.

  Find the concept of evolution very appealing, after all in many stories like this the MC can go from average human to a deity that can sneeze and a mountain falls down.
  It actually makes little sense that that sort of person looks the same and is even the same race as he started as with no mental and physical changes.
  Only countless repetitions of similar makes you react about the absurdity.
  Has a wonderful start but so far its just building the world and characters the choice of what type of evolution were talking about can make or break the story.
  Enamored on the potential of this story so far as it has not enough content yet for me to wane lyrical about what is.

  Its a good read where story slowly progresses as the MC gets fleshed out and hopefully OP.

  Review as of chapter 29:
  Reminds me somewhat of re:monster (most evolution stories do), but the pacing is very different. The grammar is good, the story is so far still quite interesting.
  The tale seems to be  still somewhat in the beginning, so there is not much deep character-backstory, but some characters are getting fleshed out. I hope to see more interesting characters getting introduced in the future.
  Small spoiler zone:
  The story might take a drastic turn depending on what will evolution mc picks, but so far he seems quite powerful, although it's pretty entertaining so far. The world is currently only shallowly described, with major races and countries laid out, but I like that, since major political factions has not been relevant to the story so far, and it's still open for some change.
  So far there is no harem, and hopefully it will stay that way.

  Has a lot of potential but theres only like 5 chapters because the other removed the rest and is rewriting likely.

  (Based on the first 46 Chapters)
  Over all, this is a decent story.
  It definitely is in the 'light' category though. Not that that is a bad thing. The pacing was quite quick but it was consistent. However, it did take me the first two chapters to get into the flow.
  I did enjoy the story for the most part and will be reading the second part/arc once a few more chapters have built up.
  critique and suggestions for improvement
  Character wise I feel that those who are meant to be side characters and not just background/filler characters, could do with a little more to flesh them out and make your care about them a more. This would also help with immersion/believability. So you are more likely to feel their actions/reactions are natural and inline with how you perceive them.
  I think Steve might need a second look at. There is nothing wrong with his character, but there were times that I thought he was a little passive or reacting purely for plot driving. He was supposed to believe that he might be a god, and finds himself to be much more powerful than any creature around him. It just seems a little strange there wasn't more of a power trip in there in some way.
  My concern with the story is that the belief that Steve is a god was never really explained or looked into. (at least when I was reading). They just decided he was a god, the fact that the 'non-believers' accepted it when he used powerful magic made sense though and fit the flow of the story fine.
  The constructive part of the point i'm making is that as a reader I had no point of reference as to why they would immediately think he was a god. Do other gods exist in the world, and in what form, how often do they just come across one in the wild etc.
  My only other real issue is his choice in evolution, and the selection. It just felt a bit forced and the difference between what he chose (predictably) and the other options was a little too distinct.
  Now I don't have a problem with OP MC's or there being an OP option. Bu

  ★★ 2.0

  The story could have been good, were it not for the 40+ prologue that we get for some reason. If it was at least a little bit interesting then ok, but no, flat out boring. I find myself skimming through to see if MC evolved yet, wich is the only thing i actually want to know about and is keeping me reading. I'll probably drop it after that tough, the characters have little depth if at all, and almost all interactions feel forced, like someone badly reciting a text.
  And while you would think that with 40 chapters of prologue we would know more about the world, the lore etc... But no, it's "i did that, i'll do that, he did this, we did that, that guy will do that" With some unexciting fighting scene in-between.
  One good point is that the grammar is pretty good overall. Just some error here and there, but i can't really be trusted on that since english isn't my first language.
  The idea was good, too bad it was poorly executed, could easily be salvaged if you speed up the pace.
