Description

[-On 3months Hiatus-]

There is a world where Gods operate guilds rather than churches or temples to guide the mortals. Whether out of generosity or with a sinister scheme in mind is an entirely different matter, though.

So, what could go wrong when all these beings of Myths and legends gathered into one city to operate their guilds and fight for the domination over one of the four great dungeons of the world?

Surely, there would be chaos, scheme, infightings, backstabbing within mortals, and other ploys as orchestrated by theGuild Mastersbehind the scenes. All the while, some daring mortals would try to make a name for themselves, only to engrave their name on top of their own tombstones.

But it all wasn't the concern of a certain reincarnated green monster, caged in the world's most well-protected dungeon.

He was busy running from one monster to another, while cursing his species for being mana-less and robbing the passing adventurers of their possession as his new profession.

This be a good story of crazy gobbo, but seriously this is a great story, it has some flaws but nothing terrible, some strengths would be the excellent portrayal of an individual dropped into an unfamiliar situation, watching companions die to a situation outside of their control and the insanity loneliness can cause in a individual and how desperate isolation can make someone. In the end this story is a rare portrayal of a desperate need for attention in a life of isolation (despite it being like a month as the gobbo) something which is a rare find in the stories on royal road, only 2 stories I can think of deal with isolation and even then neither really deals with the depravation of company in quite the same way. Anyway Good Story

Hi There,
I appreciate the request for feedback. There's quite a few technical errors. If you overlook them, the story is okay.
This feels like it might become a goblin slice of life type story, and I struggle with the main character, thus far, not having anyone to talk to. I do appreciate the show vs. tell type storytelling. But without any narration or conversation all we have is the MCs inner dialogue.
Currently, that dialogue is kind of odd.
The action is good. I can't be too hard on this novel because slice of life dungeon without any kind of unique-ish power hook or motivation isn't really my thing.
Normally I don't really like prologues but it might help me understand a little better if you foreshadow a touch on what kind of world, abilities, setting I'm getting into.
I did go back in and read back up through chapter 10. It doesn't feel like much time has transpired between when the MC was transported to the world and now. One sleep and some time spent hunting. This goblin is eating a ton for it being small, is there a goblin metabolism or something that lets him eat this much? I mean, that might be a cool mutation, maybe one in every 10-20 goblins has a mutation that makes the tribe more likely to survive? It also felt odd switching between the main character and the humans. A little choppy. The progression of mutations is fast, but then that must hold true for all monsters - is he going to be forced down a level when he reaches level 3? Otherwise, why aren't there more powerful monsters with mutations? If you can get poison fangs in an afternoon, rats that have lived in the dungeon for months, or weeks, seem like they'd be an insurmountable obsticle? Or is the gene thing unique to him? Because then I'd understand how he would then have two paths to power instead of just straight skills/levels.
