  Roach- rising pestilence is a solid novel, that releases frequently, and has an interesting story about a cockroach in a fantasy setting.
  Don Wihongi does a great job editing; is willing to listen to comments and critiques about his work. The story is very intriguing and does a great job at establishing a consistent flow of revealing information about the world and the characters that inhabit it.
  I personally think this novel is great and the way it's written just leaves you wanting more.
  Don Wihongi good shit my man! Keep up the great work!

  An interesting story idea with a well written execution.

  ★★★★★ 4.5

  Story: 5/5. System-Based Monster LITRPG Fantasy. Unique with dual POVs. It sort of reminds me of Dakota Krout’s Divine Dungeon series with a non-human POV and human POV. I’d give it a 5 for originality. The nice thing is there no immediate drowning in exposition, the story gradually unfolds naturally through the viewpoint of the character.
  Style: 4.5/5. Written in third-person present-tense with multiple perspectives. There is a narrator's POV which is more omniscient manner while the other two character POVs are more limited. At first, I thought this would be an issue because many authors I came across had issues juggling multiple POVs. Thankfully, this author is not among them and the story weaves around the three naturally. Only two minor issues was the use onomatopoeia (which is a personal take), and instances where it seems telling would do better than showing.
  Grammar: 4.5/5. Some minor mistakes but nothing that makes the fiction illegible. I’d rate this in the upper quartile of RR fics which nets it a 4.5.
  Character 5/5. Unique characterization from a cockroach who is struggling to survive and begins to quite literally climb and eat his way up the foodchain. A bit like Super Minion, except the cockroach is more inclined toward growth and gaining strength versus the more exploratory mind-set of the Super Minion. There were also some very humanizing instances with Lescar in the later chapters which I found to add dimensions to the character.

  I am always searching for non human Novels because of their unique perspective and I may be a bit baised toward them so be warned.
  This story is definetly an enjoyable read it is just plain fun to see our MC gaining new followers and trying to figure out what exactly he wants to accomplist in this world.
  The Main characters have all one basic characteristic that has been . Dwayne has his loyalty , Roulette has her playfullness and our MC has his cold pragmatic self. It would be intresting to see them going outside their comfort zone. I already saw it happening briefly with the MC.
  The Grammar is mid to upper tier . Not perfect but definetly good.
  And the releases are regular so no complaints there.
  But yeah definelty give it a try to be honest I am not that good woth reviews but I just wanted to recommend this story to you. Give it a try.

  A story worth reading, The grammar at the start can put you off, but once you get past that the story becomes much better.
  The style that the story is written in is not my favorite, but we all have our prefreneces, But since i like the Story so much i can look past that.
  Almost all the characters in this are likeable, My top two are Dewy and Dwayne, The way they are written, the personailites and everything else makes up a Good story.
  Considering everything that the Author put into this, The detail, the Mystery, the Characters, and the fact that this is the Authors first story....
  Gotta give this Piece of art a 4.5.
  Hope to see more, Good luck.

  An interesting concept that's decently executed and makes me want to read more. I feel we could do with going into the system more as I have a fair few questions about it like whether levels are a monster thing and Lescar is unique among humans now.
  The alternate POVs are all interesting which is rare in even better written novels but I have to say the voice of the narrator I'm a bit iffy on.
  On the whole I recommend that people give this a chance as this is a damn good foundation from which to expand

  ★★★ 3.0

  This story definitely has a lot of potential. The main POV characters are well fleshed out, the few side characters have their stories developed out enough for them to be people and not placeholders. The main problem midway through is the world seems blank. We don't know anything about the wider world, the city, even the sewers feel kinda bland despite everything taking place there.
  Besides world development there is the more serious problem of way too much wordiness for not enough being said. Fights take place from multiple points of view, which isn't a problem and can actually enhance fights. The problem is the same bits of a fight is retold multiple times from different POVs without anything really new being added. It just pads chapter length and drag out fights. This make fights feel slow instead of quick paced and fluid.
  The only other problem I see are minor to moderate grammar errors. These grammar errors are headlined by multiple paragraph size run on sentences. I do that myself and in this case it isn't that big an issue.
  Overall a solid 3/5. A little above perfectly middling which is 2.5/5 but definitely not 4/5 which translates to 8/10.

  ★★ 2.0

  It's barely readable, grammar and style need serious rework. From what I understand this is supposed to be fixed after first volume is finished, but this is way beneath acceptable quality. Some say webnovels read like first drafts, which is true in a way, but this novel reads like an alpha version of the first draft.
  About story, MC is typical reincarnated, nothing interesting there, but story goes downhill near instantly with timeskips, we are informed about the existence of the System in an off-hand comment, no information about how anything works.
  Utter dissapointment, maybe it will get better after (possible) rework, for now just skip it and wait a few months.
