Review Detail of NitrogenousBeing in Genetic Ascension

Warning: Don't read this if criticism offends you easily. I’m not trying to offend, but I will be honest and blunt with my opinion of the story so far. I expected more from the top of the collections rank. The story is dull confusing and feels like a lot of filler for no payoff. Yes, it’s early in the story, but I only enjoyed about 3 of the 48 chapters. The growth of MC’s stats is like watching paint dry because it doesn’t feel like any effort, and it drags on without enough explanation and description. Everything is madness this madness that blank here blank there. It’s supposed to evoke mystery, but it is confusing and feels like unnecessary BS. I couldn’t develop a stake in the character. He’s not developed enough, and what’s there doesn't blend well enough. I kept thinking the teased city building would be better, but at this point, I don’t know. Lastly, there’s some unengaging element in the writing style itself. Sorry, I don’t have time right now to analyze it to clarify specifically what it is. Here is the positive side: The author has a larger plan and a proven track record of commitment with regular releases. There are also signs of high effort. The story needs just needs to get there. Maybe also a better starting point.
