Description

Meet the freak, an accident of genetics. Wallace possesses true-to-life mutations that leave him with a body that is as formidable as it is hard to maintain. He finds himself dropped off in a dumping ground for the refuse of the multiverse. If he wants the luxuries of a safer, more comfortable life, he'll need to build them for himself. With the aid of a rebellious noblewoman and a limited grasp of the world's magic, he sets out to find his place in the society that has sprung up on this world.

Long-time fan of portal stories in general and this author's previous work in specific, so I had been looking forward to the new story for quite a while. Hints and previews had dropped on the discord every once in a great while, and at long last it is finally here!
In the previous work, the main character (a Canadian) is whisked away to a fantasy world where magic is real. They go from taking tentative steps towards magic, to using their knowledge of physics to push magic to its very limits. Not just "How to do magic", but "How magic works" and "What are the principles behind this phenomena?" This looks to be more of that, but NOW AS A GIANT!
So far, I love it.
I love the rational characters exploring the world. I love the humor. I love the twisting plot, and that I can't be sure of what's going to happen next. I love Wallace's big giant heart. I love speculating how to solve given problems with only the limited tools the characters have (it's like trying to write a program when you only have a handful of the commands).
And I am very much looking forward to more.

I rather enjoyed the story (read up to chap 22) thus far - the MC's point of view is interesting, he doesnt really fit in his own world and then after getting isakai'd to the new planet/moonlet, he doesnt fit in at all - but how the author deals with that is really interesting.

First: Unfortunately, as of chapter 84, this story has been abandoned for many years. It is still a good read and while it's unfinished, enough of the parts are there that you can infer the ending. The author stated within the last few chapters that he was going to focus on publishing his other work but disappeared entirely shortly afterwards.
Second: Great world building with an interesting magic system for the characters and reader to explore. Science is applied to magic and engineering is worked along with magic. Everyone is relatively knew to the world and the concept of magic so they're still learning about it. New discoveries are interesting and make sense.
Third: The characters are decently well written with their own motivations and flaws. As such, they'll sometimes take actions that they don't realise will be against their own interests. However, they will rarely make ridiculous choices that only advance the plot.
The pacing of the story can be a bit wild sometimes. Major issues might be resolved in multi chapter conflict or they be brushed over in less than a paragraph.
Lastly, the sex scenes and nymphomaniac are a bit much. It's not that they're overly graphic buuuuut they sometimes show up in weird spots. It gets more and more prominent as the story progresses to the point that sometimes the main characters are trying to figure out how to possibly not die later that day from attackers but they'll decide to take a long detour to pound town.
All in all, very much enjoyed the story and I hope the author is doing well wherever he is. I'd love to read another version of this where he's applied all he's learned from both of his stories.

While the premise of the story is very interesting, the story has a lot of pacing issues that ruin the experience for me. There will be an obvious goal being teased for several chapters only for said goal to get resolved in a short throwaway paragraph.
The story adds many new characters that unfortunately have little depth to them and are ultimately one dimensional.
The main character I found most disappointing because he is introduced in such a way that implies he is heavily flawed: he possess superhuman strength and size, but has difficulty with interpersonal relations and some vague emotional control issues. Unfortunately these flaws hardly ever come into play (main character loses his temper in a big way that leads to... nothing) and instead of character development, it feels like the character exists to brag about how strong, tough, smart, and naturally good at magic he is. Oh and he is apparently a natural chick magnet. No exaggeration, I think almost every female character has made some comment about how dreamy and sexy the main character is.
I really wanted to like this one, and I suppose I did for a little bit. Ultimately I think I'll be dropping it here. 3 stars because I do think there's some good stuff here, just not enough for me to stick around.
