Reincarnated as a Troll in a Dark Fantasy World

Description

A troll wakes up in the "forest of beginning" of a fantasy world with only faint memories of his past human life and unable to speak. The human realm will spare no expense to bring down this monstruous threat. While clinging to his humanity, the troll must use his cunning and modern knowledge to survive and evade the hunters.

It is a dark age in a world of swords and magic, ruled by superstition and iron-clad rules. Tradition and conformity are the absolute cornerstones of society. There is no calendar, people count time by seasons, or days. Death, famine and vicious monsters are everywhere. People clutch in their communities, afraid of what is outside. Here and there, a Hero rises, his tale brief like a shooting star.

Powerful monsters that drift too close to human's realm must be eradicated at any cost, or society might crumble. The Troll comitted this sin.

This "isekai' LitRPG novel is an experiment in writing. We commit to the "Adventure" and "Fantasy" genres, but it might have comedy, romance, and both dark and light tones.

Some events in this novel are drawn from random encounter generators and others are decided on a die roll just like a tabletop RPG. Things take a unpredictable tone!

5/5 it's fun. Went into this skeptical but the characters are really enjoyable and the story gripping. There are the occasional typos but I'm willing to overlook that.

Thirds story got me hooked at first because it had a legitimate reason for the mc to be so much stronger than the immediate surroundings while at the same time it showed glimpses of the outside world, demonstrating that the mc was indeed just a little fish in a smaller pond.
The constant grammar and spelling mistakes are annoying but forgivable

For me this is the real deal just a litlle bit confusing with the changing of POV withn't warning but it can be fixed and more clarity in the stats panel will be good too. nonethless i really like the plot and the story so far and hope it will continue

The title didn't make me take the story seriously outright; but this turned out to be a very enjoyable read.
Imagine re:monster with actual consequences for the Mc. Later on in the story the writer expands on his character as the "seal" breaks.
The writer said in a few posts that he just wings it chapter by chap, if that's true I'm damn impressed.
And grammar errors are negligible. They don't interrupt the story or anything.
Any who - while reading you can visibly see the improvement in writing skills. Far too many negative reviews.

This story definitely has potential and I was enjoying it, up until the side-characters seemed to eclipse our main in terms of chapters. I don't mind a side chapter every now and then, but I'm not a personal fan of jumping around so much.
Over all beware if you're not a fan of multiple main characters, which this story should really be tagged as. But if you can get past the jumping between points of view constantly, it's a pretty good and interesting story that has potential to get better!

Started off good and remained but as soon he gained a human body it becomes utter shxt. All the cool monster stuff stops, alll the cool combat stops, the world lore stops, the interesting side character povs stops. The monster camp building stops. Monster life stops. Everything that made it fun interesting and unique stops and it becomes a very shit take about an OP boy travelling with two dense babes. The originally powerful girls with their own personalities and developments become nothing but boobs on legs for the MC’s greatness. Trash.
The 2.5 stars are for the first half of the story, which was fun and a decent read. It’s almost like two stories in one. The human transformation ruins it & it becomes shit

Started out okay, but the grammar goes downhill pretty fast, and ends up being bad enough to put me off reading further (as of Troll and Jekyll).
Start of the story was good, but the constant change of viewpoint and change of focus from monster with a conscience to basically just a pervy human with OP skills. Basically a complete 180 on what the story was originally about to become the standard isekai LITRPG with nothing new to add.

Amazing begin, but now At "troll and trip" (chapter ~50) I have a felling as if the author care much less. First the grimdark tag just have no reason to exist anymore, the humanization skill is boring-> à bit of interest with the "cost" of said skill (death) but totally irrevelant thanks to the chapter with the intelligent orb of light. And for the last our MC say way too lightly that he is human from earth it's boring, frustrating, enerving can the author try to rely less on "im reincarnated so problem solved"
If you like to read story with a monster taking the hate/discrimination of the society, exploring the world in being something else than a human than the beginning of this story is for you but not the rest for now
