Description

Now we've all heard stories about people who died and were born again with their memories intact. The form of the reincarnator changes from story to story: human, elf, orc, slime, vampire, goblin; you name it, someone wrote it. But what if you were reborn in the most common of houshold objects? What would happen if someone reincarnated as a fork? Involves: merciless fork jokes, monsters, magic n' all that stuff, some profanity, maybe some gore (i'll keep it light), fork philosophy, and if you got advice on where to go next with the novel, comment, coz I only got a hazy outline. Read my other novel here:http://royalroadl.com/fiction/13058/odyssey-of-the-unrivalled

The whole thing is just hilarious. It was refreshind to read and clearly not a waste of time. The depiction of the insanity of MCs are very smartly done. The side stories are a fun addition to all this world.
It went a little haywire in the latest chapters i've read though which is why I am curious as to where this could go from there. I hope it won't go into clichés as it has managed to dodge them masterforkly up to there ;)
Thanks for the story.

I've been keeping up with this story for few years now and everytime a new chapter is posted I tap instantly.
The world building, characters and system are written so well. The number of times I have reread this story is the reason I felt it deserved a written review, which I have never done because of a combination of laziness and not knowing what to say.
Sorry about the bad grammar and lack of factual points.

As of chapter 7, this story is quite enjoyable and an easy read but has a lot of room for imporvement. Before anything else, compared to average works on RRL, this is 5 stars so worth the read.
As for possible improvements, I would recommend taking a look at #Amused by SOSADHSCATH as he touches on the biggest issue in the first 7 chapters and that is that everything is stream of consciouness. Stream of consciousness is fine and the author does a very good job of working with that style but it can be monotonous for less avid readers, so I would recommend inserting a chapter or two from another person's viewpoint.
Worldbuilding: As of Ch. 7, all we really know about this world is that it has goblins, robots, adventurers, slimes, and somehow forking mindflayer meat at a roadside food stand. While this is a bit of a slow build, it isn't done poorly and suits the style well.
Power Balance: The fork is a fork. He got telepathy rather quickly relative to the story, but spent months training in order to use it. He has herculean strength but can't use it. He's a dam* fork. It's excellent. That said, sosadhscath mentioned the fork absorbing through an enemy and I would parrot his warning: growing too fast RELATIVE to the story is clunky and should usually be avoided. What I mean by this is that generally, if a character is slowly growing stronger before the narrator suddenly says "Then he trained for ten years" and the MC comes back as a god in the same page then it makes the story seem choppy. Nothing wrong with taking it slow. Being unable to absorb things with willpower is a tested and balanced foil to absorbtion abilities and will help balance the ability if it gets too out of hand.
Grammar: Some run-ons (what doesn't?) but overall a well written piece.
Characters: There is one. He's a fork. I love him but gimme side characters.
Will update when I'm current

This was a great read that I had binged when I found it. I loved the world building and how the story has progressed, though I am somewhat sad it is a bit slower for updates the quality is well worth the wait. I look forward to reading more of the story as it comes out.

A fork goes in a adventure, very good worldbuilding along with the growth of the main charcter i'd say, while he learns and acquires new powers and knowledge about his new life so do we, deepening the concepts and knowledge about the things on the universe and more specificaly how they work and interact with each other and i find this process of character growth mixed with mystery and world development quite fun.
And now that i thought about it, in my opinion, more chapters of interactions with the main character and the others would be fun, lately it feels like it's been too focused on his perspective and shenanigans, makes the other characters feel more distant.

This is one of the best novels I'vw read. It was a bit slow at first and there was a bit of plot armour but after the first 5 chapters it gets super good.The only problem I have with the story/author is the updating speed. I know the author is a human and cant post a chapter every day week or even month. But I would like to know how it's posible to make a novel more than fork years ago and still not have more than forktey eight chapters.
