Winston June hasn’t always been a potato.
In fact, he used to be a normal human, living out his life as a baron in a small territory. But in the world of Erobeus, where monsters run amiss, magic is common, and a snarky god oversees the land, nothing is ever peaceful for long.
Everything changes when one day, Winston finds a magic stone in his garden, and strange texts begin appearing out of nowhere.

- BullerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It's a hecking story about a potato. I know the one about a fork that was made a few years ago but this takes the cake for the original premise. Being made a potato? That kind of idea requires a small bout of sickness mixed in with a few concussions to lighten the taste.
Anyway. Grammar is fine. Slight overuse of those bold gamelit thingies. Was there something about eastern comedy? Yes. Didn't understand some of the scenes right. Style? Potato-style.
5/5. I think. - Chaos JesterRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0First five chapters review.
Before I came to royal road many eons ago (two weeks), if you had asked me to read a story about a potato ascending to godhood, I probably would've forgot it.
Luckily, RR gave me the option to be reminded time and time again to read this gem.
Style wise, the story is laid out nicely. The pace quickens when it needs too, detail is aplenty without being smacked with walls upon walls of boring text, and formatting is clear.
Grammar is also polished nicely. If there were any mistakes, I didn't see them.
Story wise, this uniquely entertaining journey is amazing. The first five chapters lead you into setup smoothly and finds a way to ride the story to the next plot point. Lots of threads open up to future plot points, making for an intriguing read while also being incredibly funny.
Characters. June was a fantastic smug ruler as a person, and his arrogance while also freaking out about becoming a potato is top tier. The other characters introduced are dynamic and fit the world well. They also have major plot points attached to them that I am intrigued to find out about.
Overall, there's no bigger praise I can give than to keep reading this whenever I can. My more than fivr chapter bookshelf is getting wildly larger. - KawfiMugRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0When I first heard of the concept for this story from the author, I laughed at the ridiculous concept of having a sentient potato as the story's MC.
But despite its unusual protagonist, Ploopie has managed to created a light-hearted and fun story about this potato's journey to godhood.
The characters are well developed and their interactions are hilarious and life-like, the plot is unique and unpredictable.
I have great expectations for this story as I know the author's amazing world building ability and I can't wait for the release of the next chapter! - PakkoRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This story is a solid entry into the comedy system litrpg genre. Usually if you like this type of story will be for you otherwise probably won't like it. The story is well written and readable and I have had a lot of fun really and so far. The characters are a lot of fun and their interactions are great. I would definitely recommend at least for the potato facts if nothing else.
- SR FauthRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Let me preface this by saying one thing, and one thing only.
Taters.
Now let us being:
STYLE SCORE: Five stars. Thats all I can say. Your world has almost no description, your characters are direct, to the point and have little description. The RPG aspects are simple and straight forward. And you combine them all ina way that makes me laugh, spit my tea out, and come back for the next chapter. Keep up the amazing work! I love your style and will keep coming back for more.
STORY SCORE: Your story is, in no uncertain terms, the most straight forward and direct story I have read on Royal Road to date. You dont both with intreague or mystery, you dont need it. Your writing compliments itself in numberable ways, its funny, and enjoyable to read. You keep things simple, but not boring. Direct, but not uninteresting. I have so thoroughly enjoyed your first 14 chaptersI went back and read them again.
GRAMMAER SCORE: No major issues here. I saw a few paragraphs here and there that were a tad long, but nothing I dont do on the regular myself. Your writing is easy to understand, clear, concise and has exactly -211 reasons for me to complain.
CHARACTER SCORE: Bro, you wrote a story about a potato. Thats about as epic as it gets damnit. I would not have thought, in a thousand years, that this story would have interested me in any way shape or form. Yet you drew me in, hook, line and sinker. I love June, am thoroughly enjoying the shennanigans of the wanna be thieves and thugs of the Alley King, and cannot wait for the story to progress down the innevitable spuddegeddon route.
OVERALL SCORE: Five stars my friend. This was a wonderful enjoyable and unique read. I loved it! Please do keep writing this. I cant wait to read more! - T.K._ParadoxRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A really great story with some amazing comedy aspects, the story has excellent prose, dialogue, and characters. I was genuinely surprised that an apparent gimmick story was able to have some serious passion put into it.
I would like to see more on how the story grows and changes, and what the author plans on doing next.
Sincerely, T.K._Paradox - TealiciousTeaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0It was decreed in the wisdom of old, in ancient lands that there was The Way. This is not the way, but a story of one potato has they ascend to the path of a GOD! Maybe, idk. I'm a five-chapter reviewer. A very funny story, as it is obvious. Completed as well! That already puts it head and shoulders above so many stories on RR. Grammar and style are on point, praise be the potato.
- TooLucidRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Fun yet serious. Enjoyable and entertaining. Suspenseful action and a MC that somehow survives trouble time and time again even though he should have gotten super smashed like the potato he is. And the author does a superb job of capturing the TRUE essence of a potato!
Have you ever had that friend that you could only describe as... a potato: Fairly incompetent, yet somehow nutritious successful - as if the heavens have gifted them with fortune to counterbalance their general ugliness and lumpy disagreeable personality? Well if you haven't had the absolute pleasure of meeting anyone like this, then reading this story will fully adapt you to how these types of walking, talking vegetables attempt to function in society.
A great story to read while snacking (I personally recommend chips) and reflecting on what responsibility should mean to those at the top.
Hmmm now I'm kinda craving a story in a similar vain but maybe if it were a fruit... something, idk, orange? That IS the potato of colors, after all. An orange that trumpets around how great and inspiring and admirable of a man he is, while having the taste of rotten garba - oh I'm getting distracted here -> But that's the kinda story this is!! The kind that stimulates the mind because of its creativity and ingenuity, honestly things happen very fast and are quite unexpected. The fantasy just expands and I love how nonsensically reasonable the motivations and plot are. The whole world really. As long as Mr Potato head doesn't nuke all of civilization to the void filled abyss, this story will continue to be a pleasure. Until then, why haven't you started reading it yet!! - TremuistRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0First of all I want to get the fact that this story isn’t all silly fun and games. It’s what I had first thought it would be, and only decided to give it a try because I was caught up on most of the other stories I was following. I was in fact quite wrong. While the story does in fact have many fun moments, the author has also masterfully intertwined it together with an amazing plot with a depth I was completely not expecting at all. Who’d have thought the day would come where I would find myself deeply invested in a literal potato. Reading this is an absolute must! Also Cherry is the best!
- kieranpierceRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I've been looking forward to this story's launch since the author Ploopie mentioned the idea in the forums.
I like potatoes, so this story gets an early review from me! The first chapter was genuinely well-written and has a lot of charm and humor, so if it looks like something you want to read, get reading it already!
Let me reiterate an important point.... I like potatoes UNLIKE the main character, Wintston "Master" June.
Serves him right--getting turned into a potato after he dared to slander the good taters' name. He needs to see how awesome the power of potato truly is!
