  This 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.

  Seriously 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.

  I'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.

  Professional 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.

  Good story with interesting premise. That said I read it almost immediately whenever there is update.

  To put it simply, the story was fun to read but was lacking intellectual depth. If you don't think too hard about it, it is fine. If you start scrutinizing the plot, the characters, or anybody's motivations then you'll start to see problems.
  Additionally, in arch/book 3 they introduced three supervillains. Except... They never do anything bad. From book 3 to book 6 the story is like "when will the bad humans turn against the protagonists?" But they never do. There is one final arch after the epilogue. Presumably the supervillains do something bad then (I stopped reading). But even if so, they are introduced and baited for four arcs/books and nothing happens.

  I only read up 1.1.10 as time of this review. I think I'll take a break from it because the last chapters were just too stupid.
  The story flows pretty well and is enjoyable to read. The MC Anya feels alive and has a disctinct personnality. The setting is interesting and you want to learn more about how the plot will evolves. Who are those invading aliens, the helping ones ? How does this menu works ? Etc.
  Unfortunalty the decisions and actions of the MC were so stupid, I coulnd't take it anymore. Firstable, if I believe the stats, the MC is supposedly relatively smart and not mentally impaired. To give you an idea without spoiling she has a genius plan on par with the plan to capture a white walker in GOT. Here it is:
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  She learned that aliens just landed and want to kill her. However she is afraid to go the autorities because since she basically became a superhuman, she thinks she'll be kept captive or whatever else. Genius plan! Go search for one with buddy, keep it busy while waiting for the cops. They'll see the alien and in that way she can stay covert. So much genius so much wow. Oh crap my buddy died to the alien. Who could have seen that coming ??????
  Another thing that is pretty stupid is her dilemna on which autorithy to contact about the alien invasion. It honestly doesn't matter. Everyody will come to now pretty quickly but ok whatever.
  Plus, her hesitation itself is weird but I think americans have less trust towards their government. So weird to me as a belgian but makes sense. However, if she is not mentally impaired and afraid to contact autorities, we are in the information age! Film a video and post in on reddit, facebook, youtube, etc. Hell, go in a crowded area make Felix appear and say that he is a message from aliens warning humans about the incoming invasion. You don't even have to reveal yourself or post anything. There has just been weird radiowaves detected. That video would spread like wildfire!
  Conclusion

  This one is bit weird. It started off pretty good but after 10 chapters the fight scenes were lackluster. The overall concept was good however generic. The real issue come from much later in the work where the author seems to be unsure of the story's direction.

  Edit:
  I'm dropping my overall rating of the story by 2 stars because the author dropped it for a pretty silly reason. It was a decent story, but I wouldn't recommend starting it anymore since it's been dropped and it cuts off fairly abruptly.
  Original Review:
  Homicidal Aliens are Invading and All I Got Is This Stat Menu is an alien invasion litRPG that has become really good despite a weaker start.
  The premise of the story is that a small portion of the population recieves an alien implant giving them a litRPG system and the ability to develop superpowers in preparation for a hostile alien invasion. However, the alien invasion happens early, and the 'hosts' have to figure their situations out while dealing with the aliens.
  I found the start of this story to be quite weak, and actually dropped it once before trying it again. The main problem was the MC and the way she approached the system, as well as the way to story seemed to be going. However, things immediately took a positive turn when to MC put some thought into her build and got mobile. That rapidly expanded the scope of the story, introduced interesting new characters, and led to some creative and enjoyable action sequences.
  Since then the scope of the story has continued to develop, significantly improving the story and making the characters more interesting. The style of the story is currently very good, with the interwoven alternate POVs developing some interesting host characters with a lot of potential, and the news chapters adding perspective and scope.
  The main character started problematic, but quickly become more consitently written with a better-defined personality. The side characters have been given some depth so far, and all have a lot of potential moving forward. Finally, the story has been well edited so far.
  I would recommend giving this story a try.

  I love these kinds of novels, but in this story the world feels twisted and wrong. The people are making bad decisions for the wrong reasons and are simply too stupid.
  I will only list the complete big deal breaker for me.
  SPOILER: Spoiler
  It starts with the guy Anya meets in the beginning (who dies to aliens). He wants to have money and be a poser, but why is he so damn stupid. Apparently, people can buy spaceships, why did he not buy one and go asteroid mining? The only reason we are not doing that right now is that it is too expensive to get all the stuff into space. The distance from earth to the asteroid belt is ~3,8 AU (astronomic units), reachable in 1 hour if you travel at 50% of the speed of light. Some asteroids contain several kilotons of platinum and other rare metals. He would have made at least several million dollar per hour, up to several billion per hour (depending on his ship and skills). Maybe he truly was stupid, but you cannot tell me that of over 10,000 people nobody thought about that. Especially those who need metals for robots would absolutely profit from infinite resources.
  The second deal breaker is the fact that 60 hosts meet each other and nobody thinks it is necessary to trade the data streams they got from killing aliens with each other. The main problem of hunting aliens are these 3: you should not hunt them alone, you should rest after each kill and you need to know where they are. If 60 hosts split into groups of 5 and If every group hunts 1 (or more) alien every 4 hours they would effectively get 1 data stream every 20 minutes. This would have worked until the aliens grouped up together.
  Next  deal breaker is the fact that the aliens are a complete joke. Anya killed one without having a class, randomly spending her skill points, hoarding shop money and without a plan. How in the world did 98% of the hosts even die to aliens. 30% of the world population is above 50 years old and therefore should have had access to 2 classes and the
