- voljunRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Really like where the story is going. MC makes interesting, practical and realistic choices given their jump back in time.
I'm enjoying the MC abandoning the consequences of their actions due to the impending semi-apocolypse.
I really like the authors style and hope they dive into some other characters viewpoints deeper. - Danyel NRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I love this novel even thought it's still at the beginning. For one of the few times I see a well done personality for the MC that supposedly traveled through time he didn't become an idiot or some terminator buy has a pretty real response to everything and the state of the world again it's very nicely descrribed
My only regret it's that there are so few chapters out - Ending13Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0The author does a great job of putting a twist on the LitRPG/Evolution genre.
The grammar and writing is well throughout, with the occasional typo.
The world building is great, with small switches in perspective it shows the readers just how drastically the Earth has CHANGED. There is also flashbacks in Will's memory (flash forwards?) that give the reader an idea of what the world will turn into with this virus running rampant.
The characters have been very enjoyable. Donny's my boy! The author does well at adding in many characters but depicting which few are the important ones.
So far this first arc has been intense and absolutely fascinating! I find myself curious about the changes Will has caused and what potiential parasites are lurking out there with unique abilities! While it may seem to start slow things pick up very quickly.
Overall this was a really good read and I have very high hopes for its future. It felt refreshing to read something new and unique. I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in a few days. I am very excited for the next arc of this story and hope the quality stays consistent.
If you are debating checking this story out... DO IT!!! - Rasengan1982Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Fairly good post apocalyptic style story with a reborn MC. Best bit for me is that the guy doesn't somehow have perfect recall of what he was doing 15 years ago. Pretty well written as well. All in all I'm hoping for more of the same. The evolution style is quite interesting as well, with people evolving plus gaining the use of parasites and symbiotes.
- TinyBookDragonRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is super fun to read. The MC has this kind of calm yet forceful/frantic energy about him as he prepares for the end days. I like the premise, I like the writing, like it all. yaaay fun story.
Nothing negative stands out to me that would make me dislike this story so far. So thumbs up for that. - iRoarRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The author has clearly put a lot of thought into this story, and it shows. The system is well explained and isn't just passed off as "higher beings created it, move on". It is very mindful of the butterfly effect, which it uses to ensure the main character doesn't become overpowered.
What I like the most about the story though is that the main character is flawed which makes sense considering his backstory.
He is a nobody in the future, of course, he isn't some genius who'll do everything optimally
He isn't granted a bunch of ridiculous opportunities and when he is, it is very logical and constrained.
Overall, a solid story which's future I look forward to - sabazurcRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Interesting story, with interesting apocalypse. MC is very logical and pragmatic but author manages to show some of his inner self. Story mainly focuses on MC but side characters do not feel robotic. Powers are interesting and action scenes are nice. If you are looking for a nice read this is it.
- PanachiRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is the first time I've encountered this method of gaining power and I find it interesting if a little gross. The MC is driven as most in restart situations are and I found some of his preventative measures to be very appropriate. How the differences occur in this timeline due to the MCs actions will be a big factor in going forward. Still not sure about the chicken...
- PumaDErikRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I quite like that it's not the standard introduction of a system. The author also uses technology that's already available or soon to be developed (in a believable way) to introduce or expand it.
I'm quite curious how it will turn out from this baseline.
Stylewise I don't mind anything, but I'm using mostly the phone, so I don't know how it is for Fullscreen PC reading.
I rly hope this story continues, I'm always glad when I see it updated. - Leekt222Royal Road★★★★ 4.0I like this series for the system, this system is essentially a virus that acts as a catalyst that speeds up evolution, plus parasites and symbiotes.
This system is, IMO, probably the most realistic growth/personal power system ever? cuz we as living beings evolved with parasites and symbiotes that (although mostly cellular in size) expand our capabilities.
TL;DR: I like the series cuz system is unique and mostly realistic
