Description

Jon was finishing up another horrible date, one among many, thinking about how alone he felt now more than ever.When suddenly fate shined its bright headlights of Resurrection onto him.Lighting up a path to never feeling alone again!In a goblin horde!?As the mythical Goblin Progenitor!

I would like to apologize in advance for the first few chapters - as they are not super coherent in grammar or past present tenses. I try to improve as I go, the further chapters I feel are a lot better. I will keep striving to improve the story and fix things when the chance presents itself

    The story is pretty good and has great potential. Keep it up I'm looking forward to what's next.

    Fuck these guys that say anything bad about your writing. I’ve probably read hundreds of stories from the site and yours is one of the most interesting of them all. I would probably put it around my top 10.

    Solid with interesting concepts but need to be ok with rather dark Sexual Content. If ya know the anime goblin slayer ya know what I am talking about. Very interesting system and a MC that though quickly gaining power perhaps to a unsastainable leval, has not reached that point and is a rational progression and keep me engaged. Some interesting side characters that make me want to know more about them and see more of them.

    I understand that not everyone likes the same types of stories, so I can understand some of the reviews here.  But others are just completely unreasonable.  Seriously, some of these reviews here are incredible.  Did you read the same story I did?
    So, its the story of a guy reincarnated into a goblin.  Who has a system.  So far, similar to many other stories.  He quickly becomes rather OP.  The setup with Truck-kun is obviously done for humor.  Then the story basically becomes slice-of-life with powerups.  Overall though pretty interesting and fun, as the MC tries to fight his evil goblin nature.
    There are some obvious problems with characterization.  I mean a girl who had her mother murdered, is not going to jump into bed with one of the monsters that helped murder her.  Regardless of how nice he treats her.  Other issues like with Sala, and others not exactly acting like Goblins, even if he has "treated" them.
    One thing I do appreciate, is that despite the sex, we don't need to read about the groping and the thrusting.  The story thankfully fades to black.  Also, the story does have some minor issues with grammar.  Mostly just misspellings and occasional weird words.  Nothing to really take away from the story though.
    Overall this is a pretty good story.  Give it a chance, particularly if you like Re:Monster, or slice-of-life stories in general.

    I enjoyed the style and story nothing earthshattering but it was a simple fun read
    I guess my only issue( not really an issue dont know how else to describe it) is I guess the mc cares to much I dont know I have been on asshole villian mc kick for awhile so that could have colored/squed my perception
    Decent read I dont remember any atrocious errors that made me want to pull my eyes out
    Tldr worth a try

    I liked the story, I would like to know the frequency of releases because I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

    Pretty standard beginning to a reincarnation story. The big thing that stands out to me is that the main character actually stays a goblin (so far anyway) instead of immediately jumping from goblin to [insert loosely but not really related monster variant here] within a few chapters. I also like the stat and trait system so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how this story progresses over time.

    Read through chapter 40.  The bloodline abilities are pretty interesting and fun, making this different than a lot of the other LitRPG's I've read.
    What bogs this down is the poor editing, and the painfully typical Japanese light novel behavior of the characters.  The 'blushing', the "I don't like you but I like you' behavior, the 'omg there are boobs on me' thoughts.
    The MC belongs to a race of rapists.  He gets more powerful through breeding.  Yet he doesn't take partake.  This is not a bad thing, since the MC is a 'white knight'.  But with the premise so rooted in such evil acts (rape and slavery), the 'slice of life' feel of the story just seems off.
    This has a "Reincarnated as a Slime" and "Re:Monster" feel to it, leaning more to the Slime side for the MC.

    This is a beginner story. So it has many of the flaws that come with it. Personally I made it to chapter 3, and frankly it needs work.
    Grammar: is not too bad. Most likely written by a native speaker, or at least checked through grammarly.
    Style: poor. Specifically because he switches from 1st person to 3rd person between chapter 1 and 2. Then is very clumsy with the 3rd person perspective ( labeling each character every time they say something or have an interaction, using [jon] instead of descriptive naming, example:"screw you" Jon screamed as he jumped at the goblin) etc.
    Story: mediocre? standard initial reincarnation with use of a system to bypass language barrier issues (I personally cant stand this trope, it cheapens character development). SPOILER: Initial interactions between MC and mother are unrealistic (a raped woman who views a monster with slightly non monstrous features would still be repulsed, regardless of eye color. It would require a lot of trust building.).
    Character: couldn't get far enough into the story, but considering that there was very little development pre-reincarnation, there's not much there. (This is an often missed opportunity to really develop a characters baseline before the change, this isnt a deal breaker, but it's actually harder to establish later on).
    Overall: it's a beginner story, read it with a grain of salt.

    I like evolution stories. I like monster stories. So I thought I'd love this story. I was wrong.
    Combine weeaboo with skill whores and you get this garbage.
    Weeaboo nonsense = truck-kun, being bonked on the head repeatedly, beta m.c. that blushes at the thought of sex, seeing a woman in danger and deciding he has to save her ( even though she tried to light him on fire repeatedly, and he himself realizes he's nowhere near ready to change the status quo.) It seems like the author goes out of his way to create enemies people will hate so  the m.c. can have a moral high ground too.
    Skill whore= just touching people and absorbing their skill. No need to figure out how to use it, just spam it over and over to upgrade its level.
    Other characters ( sala ) acting like bashful teenager rather than the bloodthirsty murder-hobo she is.
    It's just not a good story. I think this is an authors first work, so don't set your expectation to high.
