    Been binging this story for a few days, and finally catches up to the latest chapter. It's been an enjoyable ride so far. The journey finally started on chapter 100, I think that's the latest start I've ever read on any pokefic.
    The only thing I'm curious about is Stella's age, since if Vesper is 6 years old when  she's born, and now is 16 y.o entering her 4th year circuit, it meant Stella is 10 y.o travelling alone in viridian forest, with no wildlife skills/experience while being a daughter of a famous celeb. It's kinda unrealistic , that's all.

    I'm usually not a fan of the non-human mc stories but I'm glad I gave this a try. The idea is solid and the writing is engaging. The author has some good humor sprinkled in and I've never had to skim any part of a chapter. I look forward to each new chapter and can't wait to see where it goes.

    I am really enjoying this Story!
    The main character is relatable, and the plot itself is very compelling.
    I like the different take of MC being a pokemon and am hooked to see where this will lead. I love the semi-peaceful dynamics and interactions so far. At the point of this review there have not been any human interactions yet, so I can't comment on them.
    Grammatically, the writing is good and well readable. The only thing I've noticed is the rare uncanny chain sentence.

    This story doesn't break the mold when it comes to pokemon fanfics, but if you like pokemon fanfics, this will have good enough characters, battles, training and power of friendship to keep you reading!
    The thing I like most about this book is how using Type Energy works, the mental image and associations behind the type being how it's accessed is reminiscent of Chinese mythology with the five elements having different associations, analogies and meanings. Really fun content to read and I hope this part of the power system is explored more in the future.
    When I first read that Momma T-Tar survived her fight with god, I thought it was a bit of a cop out, but now that it's implied she's making friends with motherfukin *redacted* I feel as though it was worthwhile to keep her in the story.
    A few minor critiques I have is the battles, and the rest of the scenes sometimes, are hard to visualize. As in I'm trying to envision it and the wires just get crossed and the resulting brain picture doesn't make sense. The dialogue seems off for the sometimes too, like too much is being said in too short a time or without caring about the urgency, like when
    lance said "move your ass the building is coming down on us!" and Val and Looker had a quaint chat like they were in a time-space bubble

    I’m absolutely in love with this story 🥰 picked it up and couldn’t stop reading until I had finished all 59 chapters. The relationships between all the characters is so well crafted and brings a smile to my face every chapter. 10/10 can’t wait to read more. You’ve just earned yourself a devoted fan please don’t give up on this story 🥰

    Sad that I have to wait even longer for more chapters..
    I binged it and managed to be caught up in less than two days, and I love both the perspective and how relationships are portrayed in this.
    You know, as opposed to a lot of other fics where the MC is the trainer.
    I much prefer the perspective being from the pokemon's pov so this has been a gem to find!

    A very good attempt. A slow burn definitely, but if you want to read something chill and different, this is a good fic for it. I have high hopes for this, and do see a lot of potential. Hope it stays awesome. And Larvitar has always been a fav of mine, so this is great.

    This was my first time reading a fiction where the protagonist is reincarnated into a Pokémon, and I really enjoyed it.
    I liked how the interactions with Pokémon come across — they feel genuine and really add to the story. Especially with wildlife in Mount Silver.
    The pacing is a bit slow in places, but with the start of the circuit, it feels like the story is finally gearing up, which should make things more exciting.
    One thing : it would be cool to see Larry experimenting with TE to come up with new moves, like tripping Pokémon with earth spikes — maybe something like an earth-mage style approach at a later evolution stage. That could make his growth feel more creative and fun. The guy is a human who got powers, make him experiment more !
    Also, the interactions with Valerie's mother could be trimmed a little so the story keeps moving. Giving Larry a clear goal, like wanting revenge against Moltres, could be interesting, instead of just aiming to get stronger while adventuring.
    By the way, the Natu choice is great — I’m a big fan.
    Overall, it’s a really enjoyable read, and I’m excited to see where the story goes next.

    An overall good story with decent characters. The pace is a bit slow tho. Well, maybe it's not the pace of the story, if you binge read it, it is ok. The main issue is the lenght and frequency of the chapters. But the author is not full time writer, so it is understandable. Just keep in mind that the story, while good, will take a while to progress anywhere
