Description

Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine nature itself can play one final trump card to save itself. Summoned to a new world, a mushroom loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger in order to accomplish the goal which brought them to this new place: to save nature from the system that the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes and skills are all well and good, but when you’re a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there’s little you can do to change the world. Not unless you’re willing to think outside the box! This story contains lots of cute stuff, but also some tragedy. If you’re expecting it to be as light and carefree as Cinnamon Bun or Heart of Dorkness, you might find yourself disappointed.

As of chapter 27, I like it. I predominantly like the world building. Very immersive. It kinda reminds me of lord of mysteries with all the bits of either steampunk or industrial architecture. I'd recommend reading to chapter 5 to get a feel for it since the first couple chapters are bit of a info dump.

Setting : The story takes place amidst the industrialization of a fantasy world, with smog and rattling machinery. Society is portrayed in a very dystopian fashion.
Style : The writing style comes across as gloomy and ominous, which complements the setting well. Prose is impeccable, and descriptions are extremely vivid.
Plot : So far, the main character has had a decent childhood; with her class being able to grow mushrooms, her family has been kept fed. The most tension that has been provided thus far is the authorities who are extremely paranoid about anything that they don't like, so the main character will most likely be forced into hiding or escaping if they find out what her class is.
Character : The main character was an expert on mushrooms in her past life, and that knowledge has guided her towards a specialized class in this world, though her combat potential is currently low. Her actions and thoughts are understandable; she comes off as a well thought-out complex character, with her own ideals anf motivations.
Grammar : I have noticed no spelling or grammar issues, syntax and formatting is done well.
Overall : I have greatly enjoyed reading this so far. I have high hopes for the future of this story, and am confident it will be amazing. I am reccomending this story, and I hope you will like it as much as I do.

I'll start by saying what this book does really well and that's making believable and competent bad guys.Usually the nature hating capitalists are so clumsy in these stories and MCs just solve things with simplistic solutions, but this world isn't so easy.It's much deeper and crueler.Characters are very good with each of them getting just enough screen time and depth to make you really care even if you regret caring later...Our MC is calculating, but the author really sells the effect of being in a child's body and you can see the juxtaposition of being reincarnated while also growing up all over again and of all the reincarnation stories I've read this is the only one that genuinely felt like they were being influenced by being a child rather than just being a shirt adult.Style and pacing is fantastic with a slow build up that keeps you interested every step of the way! Time skips are well done and do a good job of slowly growing her up without losing sight of any transitions.I didn't see any grammar issues.Overall really enjoying this series and I'm looking forward to reading more and seeing what the future has in store!

Fun, realistic, sweet characters. A grim and interesting setting. Premonitions of future anarchy. Looking forward to seeing it all, er, get swallowed by mushrooms? Doesn't have the same ring to it as "watch the world burn" but you get the picture.
A bit unrealistic how quickly the protag grows up, even if her soul got isekai'd into another body with full memory, she still learns to walk and talk at an absurdly young age. It hasn't been confirmed in setting yet one way or the other if kids generally mature faster in this setting. But that seems oddly specific.

I love the series. Having a smart Mc, who is driven, crafty and with a well researched background in actual science is great, if not legendary rare. Most Litrpg just copy and paste other systems and don't invent or improve upon it, but not this one. Fungalmancer on the level of actual game mechanics. I'd love to play this story, if it were possible and that is what Litrpg is all about.

Fun and interesting premise. The whole reborn in another world style seems to be done well here, and the focus on fungi is a unique and interesting twist. The dystopian world is intriguing also. I like the delving into different aspects of the MC's young life but none overstay their welcome.

Feom the jump, you can tell that this is a well thought out story that is properly being cared for.
The MC is believeable and relateable, a reincarnation without too much pretention, and not afraid to be both who they were and who they are now.
The pacing is wonderful, and keeps the readers wanting more.
The bird author has made a name for theirself on great stories, and this is no exception.

A good story. Shrooms will consume is all <3 reviews must be 50 words long though so the main character is a really creepy mushroom child and I love that. I feel like she could do better at hiding how unnatural she is bit it's an entertaining story. How long is 50 words anyway O just wanna review. It's Ravensdagger so theres a more than the minimum quality that I expect out of stories and has a bunch of interesting characters

Spormageddon takes the tired isekai formula, drags it through the mud of a dying world, and lets something strange and luminous grow out of it. This isn’t your typical “reborn hero saves the kingdom” story, it’s a grim, hilarious, and disturbingly human tale of rot, rebirth, and survival in a place that feels as if someone chewed up and apocalypse and spited the world.The author knows how to twist humor into serious places and how to make a joke land right before breaking your heart.What makes Spormageddon stand out is how self aware yet sincere it is. The protagonist isn’t a power fantasy, they are flawed, desperate, and fascinating. The world feels alive in the worst and best ways: magic humming through concrete, gods whispering in dreams, and humanity as moral gray as always.Came for the silly name, stayed for the plot.
