Description

This story has an active rewrite in progress posted elsewhere and has been dropped.

35 years ago, the Greene wave swept across the world, baffling scientists as to its purpose and origin. Now, that purpose is finally revealed.

Victoria Gale was bored with the world.

Stuck looking for work just to get by, she was ready for things to change. Just as she gains hope for the future, the world decided to take her plans and put them through the wringer.

Experiencing changes to her body and mind, Vic is forced headfirst into conflict with a changing world, as supers, monsters, mad scientists, and perhaps worst of all, terrible Japanese/wuxia/isekai tropes begin to become reality.

Join her and many others as they begin an adventure in a new world, that no one is ready for.

I might inadvertently go into spoiler territory here, so please don't read this until you have read until at least chapter 30.
I like how the character changes. In many litrpg where you have non-human characters, that aspect is used solely to grant new powers to the mc. Here, not so much. The species of the people have a noticeable impact on their behaviour.
I also like how the changes are substantial, both mentally and physically when people evolve. This keeps things fresh, and it serves as a nice catalyst for character growth.
Finally, as mentioned above, the best thing about this story for me is the characters. They aren't flat or 2d. They experience actual growth, which also changes how they interact with the world.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the story and I do hope the author keeps on writing!

This is a superb story...so much so that I've even started to support via patreon so I can get more juicy chapters. If the story description jumps out at you at all then for the love of Odin start reading.

Really enjoyed the story so far.
A few minor spelling/word choice/typo issues here and there but overall very cleanly written.
System apocalypse style story, changes occuring in waves. All the changes haven't happened yet, but all kinds of racial changes and magic are definitely there.
Writing is very descriptive. Prologue is somewhat slow paced, but definitely more action packed by the current chapter.

This is my first review but I enjoyed your story so much that I had to write one. This story certainly has promise! A bit too infodumpy at time but overall a really great experience. Keep up the great work!

Not without its flaws, the main one being a little heavy on the exposition and under usage of 'show don't tell', but those issues have definitely dropped off.
very interesting system, not as completely unique as something like He Who Fights, but it definitely has its own flavour and isn't a derivative mess. I particularly like how easily and naturally it is explained why the system is so damn clearly humanised to RPG and fantasy tropes, I have literally never seen another book explain it as rationally or in a way that makes sense, without hand waving it away as "oh the system just takes a form you find easy to understand". A+++ my dude.
Characters are pretty good, but suffer from the issues of show don't tell at the beginning.
world building is awesome, I would love to see more flash back chapters of HG and Luna explaining their dev process in an organic manner, rather than some of the in character exposition dumps we get. It removes an opportunity for further world building, and hampers actual character development as it's clear the chars are acting as a mouth piece for you to explain things, rather than developing for themselves.
Blue Boxes are done well, I would just say it's almost always better to limit the number of skills, lest you get a bogged down mess later in the book. To many skills means the reader doesn't remember them, skins over the stat block, enables power creep and a gotta catch em all attitude. I would recommend taking an already existing skill and increasing both its size AND scope as it develops to fill a hole in the MCs arsenal, rather than making new skills. This allows a better sense of growth in her already existing skills, and increases the value of new skill gain. Obviously certain skill types are excluded from this, namely resistances and general combat mastery eg. claws, unarmed.
overall a fucking great book, with room for improvement. Overal rating 5/5 as this rating system sucks shit on an algorithm level, and this is better than 99%

The story started a bit rough but as I've read I can see the improvements as he gets feedback and advice from readers, the MCs struggle with morality was enough to appease the constant issue of people suddenly becoming serial killers in these stories without entering annoying bleeding heart sad person areas.
The characters are very well done and fleshed out with some having hidden bits that was an unexpected surprise, even though there are quite a few people present in most chapters I'm able to remember who's who.

The way she listens to the arguments about not leaving any bandits alive and how she thought it through and accepted it was excelent work on the authers part! and how the cheetah sidestory resolved the ratkin MC left alive was also much appreciated ( i had been wondering when that was gonna come back to bite her in the ass and get her friends killed as per usually happens).
Some minor spelling/grammar issues but so far an excellent piece of work and a fine addition to my collection.

So far the Novel has been quite good. Pacing has been good with decent characterization along with natural story progression. The author still hasnt fallen into the narrative trap of making the main character too strong which is nice. My review is upto Chapter 28 so I look foward to the world building the author has in the future. Highly recommend!

T'was a bit rough around the edges at the beginning especially, but the author is definitely improving on his weak points. The story is really enjoyable in general
Edit: Apparently author-san is going to rewrite some parts, especially at the beginning, so I may just have to improve the rating!

Style:
The narration is average, it sometimes falls into the trap of telling instead of showing but it's not often and easy to overlook. The dialogue is very exposition heavy however.
Story:
The plot is intriguing and entertaining. There are a few plot holes such as the MC racial description saying that storm elementals are melee fighters despite them being clouds, but they are minor in the scheme of things.
Grammar:
The author will not use the plural form of orc. Every time orcs are mentioned they are used in the singular form regardless if it would be grammatically incorrect or not. There are also the standard few typos per chapter.
Character:
Easily the worst part of the story and the main reason it needs a rewrite and not a polish. The side characters are flat and feel like they are only there to move the plot forward. The dialogue is mechanical and it feels like they are talking at eachother instead of to eachother. The side characters will rarely speak to eachother, instead the MC summarizes what they say even though they are in the same room. This gets better as the story goes on however.
Overall:
I enjoyed reading this, and think it has quite the bit of potential. However, it starts quite rough.

I was about to write a small novel for this review, but decided I shouldn't bother. Here is the short of it:
Things happen too quickly, blue boxes get annoying, MC and everyone around her adapt way too fast, she doesn't seem to have any internal struggle with any of her decisions. The morality of her decision doesn't matter here, but there's no thought process behind it.
The system feel uninspired, lot of info just being throw at your face and dialogue could be better.
The story and ideas are there, but it's not shaped properly. I saw some other reviews saying it gets better later on, I heard that a hundred time. It doesn't matter if it does or not, if I read a third of the book and I can't see improvement, then there's a problem and other people will most likely be turned off as well. I'd recommend rewritting the early part and making it flow better.
Anyhow, thanks for writting this.
