Reboot Reality

Description
Good old Reality… A Game of Life, Death and Evolution. The oldest pastime in Existence, it entertained its audience for aeons. But what should the Creators do, now that the majority of Players got bored and wandered off to try out more recent games with more features and fewer restrictions?
Time for a reset, to start anew, and regain its old popularity.
What to do with all those mortal NPCs though? It would be quite a shame to just delete every single one of them, would it not?
This is the story of a stray mortal soul that got neither deleted nor recycled...... but adopted?
I will add additional tags once they become relevant in later chapters.
- 'Reincarnation': this is a 'Continuous Reincarnation' story
- 'GameLit': light litRPG elements; no numbers, levels or experience points, though
- 'Genetically Engineered': in the sense of 'Guided Evolution'
- 'Gender Bender': Life#0 - undisclosed, human | Life#1 - female, non-human | Life#2 male, non-human

- Ex0r1aRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Thank you so much for this amazing project! Thanks to you I've finally decided to come out of lurking.
I've read the Prologue so far, and I'm really excited for what's to come. This is the first story of this kind that I've read (Game Lit? Lit RPG? Reincarnation Lit? Sorry, I don't know a lot about the terminology of online publishing), and I like it a lot. You open so many exciting threads on which I'd love following you. I'll give you some more feedback on the individual chapters, suffice to say for now that I appreciate your work and I'm looking forward to the next chapters.
The dynamic between "Sweetie" (?) and Memory is already very clear, a crackling tension within an incongruent power relationship. It's interesting how the powerless Sweetie already tries to claim some space and agency, and already shows a tendency toward insubordination. That seems very promising to me. Also, there are other forces at play, like "Hunger". Can we expect other existential aspects realized as "gods"? Like "Anger," "Joy," "Sadness," or... "Lust"?
Please keep it going, this seems to be a really cool text and I'll definitly continue reading.
All the best for you! - PunpopeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Reboot Reality offers a fresh and imaginative take on existence as an ancient game facing a reset due to waning interest. The story captivates with its unique premise: instead of being deleted, a stray mortal soul is unexpectedly adopted. This intriguing twist invites readers into a fascinating journey where life, death, and evolution are redefined. The narrative promises creativity and depth, making it a must-read for fans of innovative storytelling.
- TempleRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story differentiates itself from all other reincarnation stories by focusing on survival and gradual evolution even more so than others. As I understood it, there will be many lifetimes spanning different creatures (human and not). Currently, we are in the first cycle, but the author already showed he can handle even non-human forms. This actually made me feel like reading from the perspective of a creature evolving in Spore (yeah, I'm old for knowing that game.)
The story is not heavy on the LitRpg side. It's more on survival and evolution actually and weirdly very relaxing even if the main character goes through life and death situations. Makes you really feel like watching National Geographic show of a fantasy creature but the creature is talking to you.
The main character is engaging and likeable, and she should because there are many chapters or large parts of chapters where she's alone given that this is more of a survival story (at least this life cycle). You'll end up rooting for her and cheering her on in her goals. Her interactions with other characters are also engaging although it cannot be denied that given the nature of her current form there will be periods of time she will be alone. Which she carries well on her own story-wise. That said, I do hope the author weaves in more of her previous life (she was a human) into this one. And then the past two lives into a future one, and so on. Currently, I don't feel that much of an impact of her past life.
Grammar is above average for this site. While there are a few errors here and there, the author strives to clean them up. Nothing that took me out of the story.
If you're a fan of reincarnation into different creatures that have more focus on the difference of each creature and how they survive and develop, do give this a try. - UnknownRiverRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0If your just looking for good story with fantasy and magic that starts at the very beginning of the world. This is the story for you.
No obvious grammar errors that ruin the story.
Story takes being recarnated in different world different angle that makes pretty cool. MC finds out that his or her world is just game to gods and the world needs wiped to restart it. MC is one of the few people to be choose in by god and allowed to live. Now earth restarts all the way back to the dinosaur era with magic and factasy. MC must complete quest that his or her patreon god wants done to have better lives in the future. MC has to live in this era and eras that come after death.
Character are quite interesting. MC feels like real person that has live throughout all this and has true emotions.
Style has some similarities to other works but feels original. The system in this story is pretty bare bones, so if you like numbers and stats, it's not here. Magic very interesting feels part of the world actively early on.
Love the story and highly recommended it.
Storys like this (The Many Lives of Cadence Lee) - NorthernWardenRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is a fun reincarnated in a monster body mixed with consistent reincarnation story. All the characters feel very engaging. This is definitely a story for fans of chrysalis or the many lives of Candice lee. It is worth sticking through the first chapter or two before the story becomes fully engaging.
- IdentityRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5This novel went better than expected, especially after the not-that-exciting start.
The grammar is fine.
The style is very descriptive regarding the environment and food, but where the author really shines are the characters and their interactions. Though I was a bit bothered by the lack of stats, that changed when magic became more of a thing.
The characters became the gem of this story. The reason why the beginning was that average, was because there was only the MC. The story only really became good in the chapter where the MC met her first companion. The later interactions also were promising.
The story is heading into a good direction, we got goals, an overview of where the story will go and the first life is looking awesome. While it should take a while until humanoids or demi-humans will be introduced. I will happily look forward to it.
All in all, this was a more exciting story than I anticipated. It is underrated, and while I understand, that the beginning is a bit slow, it all but balances out with the later parts. I would recommend reading this if you are looking for a survival/character-focused story. Can't wait for more. - That-Which-Shall-Hug-YouRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0A fantasy book that hits all the right buttons. I'm a bit lazy, so this reviews gonna be short. But so far this novel has been wonderful, exciting character s and an interesting setting. Heaps upon heaps of potential, and a system that isn't to intrusive. This is my kind of fantasy novel, and I'll be reading for as long as your posting.
Edit: Eh.. I kinda got bored after a while, maybe the beginning excitement just wore off? Who knows. - alphaReviewsRoyal Road★★★ 3.0So if life is just a video game with infinite lives and shitty admins, who cares about the next round of a lame distraction-game (out of INFINITY rounds)?
Especially when the protagonists are all boring and/or dysfunctional? So someone gets to play at being a lizard matriarch, then play at something else. None of the in-game relationships matter since no one can return and remember, other than the MC, who soon will be living his next life simulation anyway. More fundamentally, I just don't see any stakes that matter, nor what the MC can do about it: his infinite existence seems like it will inevitably get hella boring, I'm concerned he's going to turn out just like the gods in time. :P
Where it got annoying for me was watching the MC get semi-victimized by his control-freak god, because it just did not feel like the MC was doing a good job of defending himself against his (frankly lame) abuser. (Or maybe I am sensitive about manipulation and how to defend oneself against it.)
That being said, there were a lot of positive aspects to the story. I enjoyed the starting premise of having the MC keep his moral compass and resist the orders of his summoning god, and enjoyed the first life portrayal in a number of ways.
My original review was a lot harsher and I was frankly impressed when the author reached out to me by PM to get more details and try to improve. I look forward to his next adventure :)
