In a word? A surprise. At first, for all the praise the book receives I honestly thought this book is good but Id hoped for something better. My review then might have been a solid 3 stars cuz its entertaining and seems professional but thats all. I kept reading and man when the main plot develops it gets soooo exciting. Glad I didn't put the book aside for another before MC gets his human form (not a spoil) and the story really begins. I love the MC. He is a monster that wasnt even human like recycled reincarnated protagonists so he is a true villain/monster. Like, really. He could go and literally kill villages of people and stuff to FARM EXP and level up lol. The originality of the work is refreshing. The writing quality is average/normal (lots of repetition at first but gets better with author gaining experience, not a big issue at all) FULL 5 stars except for Writing quality which is still good Overall a gem, but may be developing too slowly at first for most readers (was not a flaw to me) LONG READ so if you are here to read something that is fast, short, and rushed (which isn't a wrong thing) then you may find another book to devour. My opinion is keep reading till at least all the free chapters then see if you like it Definitely was worth it for me
