Review Detail of reylt in Chrysalis
Review detail
This story is great and for sure deserves to be and eventually will be higher on the ranking (assuming consistent updates). The main reason for this is because until now this story has been written as a web novel and not a regular novel like many of the others have been. This can be seen from the superb world building which while not particularly in-depth (yet) has laid a wonderful foundation for easy expansion either deeper into the dungeon or up onto the surface and has already shown factions and conflict in the human society allowing for hundreds or perhaps thousands of future chapters. This is usually lacking from other stories in the rankings as even those with a pre-established lore need new areas or factions occasionally and without a foundation it always feels like an ass-pull and will eventually limit their longevity. The system the mc has, while cliched, also lends itself to the web novel format as it allows the author to show numerically and or cleanly through a menu that the characters are progressing in each chapter meaning daily updates always feel meaningful and not like fluff. Finally the most impressive thing about this story is the speed at which the character grows, that is to say slowly. Other stories on the rankings almost always show their mc's rocket up in strength to quickly become influential in their world. However I find that this is often short sighted as it hampers world building and longevity as possible enemies quickly become scarce and we never see the prospective of the world as a little guy. This story does not have that problem as the mc is not the strongest and does not seem to be likely to become the strongest any time soon allowing for plenty of interesting hurdles to over come for a long time. Honestly the only real gripe i have is the ridiculous main character who seems to be both comically unperturbed by his situation (literally) as well as far too eager to enter an unknown ant society. This could be easily remedied however if the author either bluntly stated that being an ant has somehow warped his perception of reality or showed that his sanity was rightfully cracking around the edges but that his silly sense of humor was keeping him together, explaining his constant need for jokes. **. ALL PRAISE THE MIGHTY GANDALF!!!!! MAY HIS BEARD BE EVER BUSHY AND WHITE

I agree, however the fact that he's getting these communication skills should help offset it temporarily
EroticEarwig:I always thought that the author was showing how the ant body seemed to be warping his personality. It just gave off the vibe as I read that the author was already showing him gradually warping/being insane!
When you dream of being another life form it feels normal and right untill you wake up unable to move to find yourself once again a fragile squishy human, occasionally trying to stretch and scratch limbs that don't exist, forever missing the feel of wind moving through feathers, sand on scale flight teeth that grow back....
knightofnei4vr:i agree with him being affected by his body and new mind but he was also a little to quick to accept and adapt as a human as well plus he had a ant farm:_

Good review ty :) although I MUST SAY OLD CHAP! Your last point didn't sit well with me. There is an extremely reasonable explanation for MCs state of mind both pre and post reincarnation. But it is not alluded to very often! And quite late in the chapter count! Essentially, the MC's ability to adapt to his new environment and "family" is firmly grounded in his experiences in his past life, which also played a major part in why he was reincarnated in the first place! The reason it is easy to miss is because the MC IS A JOLLY GOOD SPORT WHO MAINTINS A STIFF UPPER LIP! No sense dwelling on old hardships, Onward! FOR THE COLONYYYYUYY!
