Description

One day, Adam B. Windsley was in this world, and then, he wasn't. Suddenly trasported into a strange world called Lutum, Adam finds himself in the body of a small, unassuming slug, and during the course of 600 years, he evolved beyond the scope of humans, becoming one of the Five Evil Gods, worshipped by his followers and treated as a God would. But he isn't happy. And after some time reaquainting himself with humans, he finds himself enjoying their company. But, in a sudden twist of events, he finds himself back in his own world.

But he is still a giant tentacle-covered monstoristy.

And where did these magical girls come from?...

---------

In short, this is a story focusing on a somewhat edgy reincarnated-as-a-monster kind of guy who returned back to his world on the day of his transferral, only for strange, unusual things to happen. Monsters from his past world start popping up out of the blue, and ordinary people are suddenly learning of sorcery, becoming magical girls in the process.

In terms of structure, it will mostly be about what happens to Adam after coming back, but at times, there will also be chapters focusing on Adam's life before his transferred, in chronological order. In other words, very typical isekai stuff.

The chapters will be between 2000 and god-only-knows-how-many words and will be released every three days at 8 am, CST. I don't actually live in America so if chapter release is off by an hour or so, it's probably either because I messed up with the time, or because I was unable to finish a chapter on time-,

The artwork on the cover belongs to yours truly, I drew it myself and I'm darn tootin' proud of it, and Omni is my dear co-writer who got me this far. Couldn't do it without him!

With that said, I do hope you enjoy, as I did put way too much effort into it...

Enjoy!

This novel is completely different from anything else you'll find on royalroad. Honestly, I have a sweet spot for isekai/reincarnation stories, but all of them are about the time in the other world, and the ones that consider earth are not my taste. Not this one though, I like this one.
Story - Good
Character building - Good
Exposition/Backstory - Excellent
Realistic character development - *kisses* You know it
Overall it is a great read, the editing was bad near the beginning but that's been fixed now. So try it!

Its good, like, really good. You should read, like, right now. Read more. Read this. Read more of this, Yes-Yes. Make more reading of this. Read it again. Double read, yes-yes. And you, Author. If you drop this story, i'll find you, and i'll get on my knees and beg for more chapters.
Edit: I now have another title for this book, 'Yaoi between tentacle man and young Chad'. Thank me later.
Edit: I won't let the author control me. So y'know what I'll do? I'll go find you, and put rubber ducks on your car. And then maybe write a bunch of Adam and Chad fanfics, and force you to hear them. Then I'll eat your lunch.

THIS IS THE BEST STORY EVER WRITTEN YOU ARE LITERALLY AN OMNIPOTENT GOD
in all seriousness, this story has had me on a rollercoaster of emotions, I can relate to Adam and Chad somehow, and I really like the lore and universe created by the autor, I recommend it to anyone who wants a kick of entertainment

This story is a very mixed bag for me (at the time of review) and while I do intend to stick around and read future chapters, there are areas others (and myself) maybe put off and stop reading, but at the same time, there is areas of the story that are very good and enjoyable, there is alot of potential and the author is clearly passionate about what they are writting.
I'll start off with the positives; the actual concept and characters.
The story follows Adam as he is transported to another world into the body of a small eldritch slug creature, however the story starts as he returns to Earth, after 600 years in his perspective, but on Earth barely a second has passed. Adam proceeds to accidently kill his former body releasing himself in his giant eldritch god form, while his sister (and a few others) seemingly gain 'magical girl's powers'.
The story continues with the occasional flashback to Adam's life in the other world, but mostly focuses on Adam trying to adjust to being human again in a modern world while he and his sister hide their respective secrets from each other, and seems to be setting up Adam as the main 'bad guy' that his sister and her fellow magic girls will fight.
This is a very fun concept and a nice twist on some of my favourite troupes and gives me the feeling of a Saturday morning cartoon (such as Ben10, Danny Phantom) mixed with, of course, an iskai and magical girl anime, with some darker more adult elements thrown in. The main draw of this story, for me at least, is this fun concept and situational comedy.
Onward to another thing this story does well, Adam genuinely feels like a person who has been trapped as an evil god for hundreds years in a fantasy world, he returns completely different from his old self and barely remembers anything or anyone from his homeworld, after all he spent 15 years on earth and 600 in this fantasy world. Small things, like his manner of speaking (he speaks more formally than the other characters, swears less, an

I sadly need to quit this interesting novel. Everything seems like a downward spiral of events, I feel every hope is futile and foolish, no matter what happens it only gets worse.
This triggers my depression and I feel like continuing reading will unearth my buried desire of harming myself and others. With every paragraph I feel more and more that striving toward being a good person is futile and that I should just give up and freely follow my darker desires.
Not recommended for any person with a psychiatric disorder and/or generally pessimestic people.

It's a pretty good book but bl warning for everyone cuz it gets way too sus fr. Also The Main character is very inconsistent when he turns human. It's like the author can't decide wether adam is this big scary monster or misunderstood low iq strong dumbass. The main character can't interact with others in the slightest. Also the size of Adam is inconsistent as well. At first he's a strong tall jock buff (pre-slug) but he couldn't fill out his old clothes before he turned into a slug. And when he gets a human body(post slug) he's absolutely massive tall and intimidating to the point he can't fit in desks and stuff. But when he meets this potential romance dude called Chad, he's suddenly small and skinny. He had trouble openig the door to his house and needed chad to open it. He get scooped up in his arms or his hands are tiny in comparison to chads. Soooo inconsistent make up your mind.

Far too many grammatical and spelling mistakes even for my low standards.
