  This is so good. Just a dude in a forest making spider-humans and figuring out life. Focus is almost entirely on the mc and his development - no overriding antagonist or anything like that. Very slice-of-life-y without being boring. Actually so good.

  This is my first time writing a review on RR and it is not because I am a new comer. I have read dozens of stories here, long before I made  this account, but was the first story that moved me enough to write a review.
  First of all, the Grammer is good enough to pass as a professionally edited book (rejoicing in the background). The story is immersive enough that I read the whole thing (at the time of review it was 20 chapters) in one sitting. It puts you in the shoes of the MC  and excluding the fact that magic exists, there are no bullshit plotholes, nor is there plot armor.
  The tempo of the story is VERY fast, especially in the beginning, but I agree with the author's reasoning for it. He said something to the effect of 'I know that some people have been staying that the story is going too fast and while I understand their point, I don't want this book to be a primative technology porno.'
  At this point in the story there has been no romance whatsoever. So if your looking for that, this book will disappoint, as to date I believe that there has only been a female in 2-3 chapters and she exclusively played a professional role.

  This story is shaping up very nicely. So far, at 14 chapters, it's got me completely hooked. There's only one potential issue I can see, that being the rate of progress in the first few chapters, but I'll get to that in more detail later.
  The grammar and spelling is impeccable. I can't possibly overstate how important that is to any story. There's nothing I hate more than having to parse out what the author's trying to tell me from all their spelling errors and run-on sentences, and with this story, I don't need to worry about that.
  Writing styles, to me at least, are invisible when done right. If you can't feel anything wrong with them, they're likely to slip entirely under the radar. With that said, I think I'd need several degrees in literature in order to pick this one out, so good on you, C-Logos.
  The main character seems to be perfectly adequate for the story, your average joe who's been magicked away from wherever and, with the help of some strange mental interface, turns a mud and branch hut into a great center of industry manned entirely by himself and some weird spider-clones with the power of SCIENCE!
  Of particular note is the unique form of 'system' used in this story. Instead of your typical LitRPG with classes, experience, and levels, this mental interface functions as a sort of tech-tree progression - which I find rather fitting, as instead of being a one-man army with a magic sword, or an arcane prodigy, our MC finds himself tucked neatly into the role one assumes when playing Civilizations, Stellaris, or some other empire-building strategy game: The Guy Who Manages All The Things.
  I won't go too much further for fear of spoilers, but let it be known that the main character, whose name seems to have slipped my mind, is the single driving factor of both technological advancement and government in his own little settlement - and, as the title proclaims, there is quite a bit of technological advancement.
  As far as the overall story and plot goes, it sta

  So far so good, as of writing this reciew (Ch 20) the MC has finally had other characters to interact with and honestly their interactions have been solid.
  He has beneficial if tense relationship with the other characters and he’s learning things about the world and his environment that suggest a lot of room for the story to grow into.
  I’m thoroughly enjoying this story, the advancements are interesting, it’s an excellent blend of science and magic, the MC is at the very least passably moral, more so than one might expect given his situation and he has fairly clear, if a bit lacking motivations but honestly it doesn’t impact the story much.
  Now that, presumably, the most rapid advancements have been made and things are starting to slow down a bit there has been a shift towards a more plot driven story rather than a tech tree driven one.
  All I can say so far is keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see more from you in the future!

  I am not a native english speaker.
  So as the title states that really is my only problem. The story otherwise is almost perfect grammarwise.
  But having an idiom every other sentence or replacing words with rarer or made-up words is really getting to me. And the worse thing is I don't know if the word was made-up. I just don't know what that word/idiom/phrase thing means. I need to google them alot of the time and i am just at chapter 10.
  My advice to the author is to use less hard to understand words for us non-english natives but that really is just my personal problem. Choice is yours.
  And well....
  The mc seems like a varitable god at this point. He is a nice mc. But his powers can make basically anything imaginable from a rock. Like a Sentient dragon potato with voodoo tentacle powers using generations of sanguinism.
  Kind of takes away the umph here. Like, he lacks something, he magiteks it into existence. Well that was my rant. I'll still be following this tho.

  The author clearly has many ideas but is too eager to cram them in one after the other without any consideration for pacing. At times the reader feels overwhelmed by the deluge of info while at the same time bored of the minutiae or random tidbits of what is possible with no further story relevance.
  The author's style also needs further work, as copious amounts of informal language coupled with directly addressing the reader will regularly disrupt the immersion. Furthermore, the use of "fugue state" as time-skips seems artificial and lazy. The relevant passages could easily have been written out to improve the pacing and expand on the many ideas the author clearly has in regards to his technology.

  Sorry for my bad english.
  I found this novel very interesting at the beginning but as it progresses the author uses the typical i need something booom I use magic I have it. Ok you use magic to grow carrot-potato ok you use magick to mage spider-cow but when you use spit and hair and some eggs to make a slave that crosses the line.

  No tension, minimal characterisation. A nice, smooth upward arc of skill unlocks. As satisfying and empty as cookie clicker.

  The more I read the worse it gets. To much time is either skipped or his asshole is huge from all the stuff he pulls out of it. Way to much crutch of unlocking shit from video game style. Extreme lack of suffering the main character goes through for being naked in the woods. To much cringy convenience. At the rate of progress I won't be surprised if he pulls a fortress out of his bum and unlocks robotics

  While the premise is interesting, there is no real tension or any kind of goal for the Mc to work towards.
  As of chapter 7, the Mc has yet to meet any other character, with no indication that this might be changing any time soon.
  This makes for a boring story, which is a shame, because I loved all the references, and the fact this author clearly knows how to English.
