This story (and any others I write) now has aDISCORD!
Thousands of people around the globe randomly find themselves "hosts" for alien technology that allows them to alter their minds and bodies in an instant through holographic menu systems. With the touch of a button, any of the hosts can become super strong, gain magical abilities, purchase a giant robot, or become a master in any of an almost infinite number of skills that range from advanced combat techniques to fidget-spinning. However, the hosts also become targets for nightmarish, shape-shifting creatures that have come to Earth following the newfound extraterrestrial tech. The menu systems can grant their hosts great power, but it may not be enough to survive the horde of murderous beings hunting them down.

- Dan NgoRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0* I’m amending my review, author was kind enough to take the criticism and roll with it. MC’s more consistent and less jarring, 👍🏿
Let me just start with: I like this story, sticking to it. Everything is well thought out and interesting. The only bad thing is the MC. She’s been over thoughtout, and yet never made it to where the author wanted her to be, I think. She’s introduced as a tough cookie who doesn’t take shit from strangers on the subway, or her own mother, moved out on her own and supports herself, and yet she throws up and passes out from shock and fear after being introduced to the system........ ummm wtf, you can’t have both sides, pick one, be more consistent. Either she’s an independent adaptable gamer, or a fearful timid maladaptive little mouse with no common sense, and yet here we have...... both, wrapped into a hot red headed olympian body. I understand why other reviewers are raging. - JircnivRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I really enjoyed every piece of the this.
Nice pacing, didn't feel too slow or fast.
I don't see any problems other than few typos, which can be edited.
Finally and most importantly, you've got a 𝓷𝓲𝓬𝓮 set of interesting characters, which is part of the reason why the pacing felt reaaaally goood.
Pan, how can a singlle pangolin so damn cute. - Knight22Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story builds up a little slow at the beginning, but once it gets going it takes off like a rocket.
If you like comic book heroes but with realistic, as real as it can be anyway, consequences with unique and slightly flawed characters you'll love this book.
This series is a new favorite of mine and I can't wait for it to be published. - LostAndContentRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Love every bit of it and can't wait to see how the different users manage to diversify themselves. A great example of making the enimies tough enough to counter the balancing issues that come with giving the protagonist a boatload of available power.
- Luke W. LoganRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I am really enjoying this story, while the updates are slow they are of a consistently high quality with little to no filler content.
The characters are believable and vibrant, the story an exciting and unique take on a alien invasion and the author has managed to integrate litRPG elements into the story in a way that feels organic and natural to the story.
It's good, read it. - MandarinRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Seriously enjoyed the heck out of what you've made. Sorta confused by the
this story has a discord right below indefinite hiatus (does that mean it isn't being updated here?) but still I totally loved what you wrote. gonna start reading other stuff done by u if there is any others. - SrayanRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0So first off this story is a breath of freshness in this genre. I am still trying to figure out which genre but is maybe a cross between SF alien invasion and RPGlit light (stats mentioned and upgrade menu but doesn’t show the stat menu much).
Note the characters are quirky, including the MC, her sidekick and my favourite FELIX (personal stat menu assistant extraordinaire). although I have great hopes for the newly sentient pangolin. Yep a pangolin - so you can see author is not scared of the deep end.
the quirkiness has annoyed some reviewers which is unfair as the MC choices are fairly rational and pretty good given she did not have a manual or beta rehearsal game before she gets dumped into the opening scene.
So I am marking this one high. Even if it’s not for you I think it’s different enough to be well flagged. - RhusRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Professional grade writing with a very nice blend of genres. The author has done an admirable job of adapting to overly critical observations about reactions to Outside Context Problems.
I would buy this as a book, watch this as a series, and love to play this as a campaign. Easily as enjoyable as my favorite authors of all time, and few of those would I rate as absolute perfection.
My biggest complaint is that I must wait for the next installment. - Nir' VokRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I've been looking for a story like this for a while and this is one of three so far that I've found on this site that have kept me thoroughly entertained and looking forward to the next chapter release.
- KarolusRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0This story is really good. I have some minor quibbles that didn't ruin my enjoyment of the story (mainly the stats part) but overall, the story is brisk, and exciting with a couple funny bits.
For the quibbles, this may have been mentioned before, but some of the stats seem under thought. Take for instance brawn vs speed. A sufficient amount of strengh directly translates to more speed (putting more effort behind a swing adds more speed, putting more effort behind a crouched start in sprinting or kicking off the ground harder for more speed). How could fortune be quantified and how would increasing it effect real life? Same for charm? Does it give more instinctive eloquence? How would an alien species understand human eloquence?
I think you could safely cut out charm, speed, and fortune and not impact the story at all. I would also consider removing intelligence or awareness. Alternatively, you could combine stats under a general category as is the case for something like "Ritualist". Combine Brawn and Dexterity under a physical category, combine something like Processing and Awareness under Intelligence, Combine Fortitude and something like Comeliness under a Health category, combine Charm and Fortune under an Eloquence category (or something like that). Just a suggestion, but I think it would help solve the problem that only three or four stats are really explained.
