Ok updated Review due to my opinion changing, I didn't feel my previous review was quite accurate. Ok first off this novel definitely has a feeling of being influenced by RE:Monster, this mainly shows up in the monster progression as the more you level up in this game like world the closer you get to evolving, only if your a monster race tho. This story does follow a similar structure though where the MC gets stronger through taking a part of the monsters he fights (in this case their souls); However, it deviates in that the MC is required to slaughter hundreds in order to raise one stat point and does not tske any of their inherent skills. The world building is not bad, there are alot of familiar elements but it also manages to retain some of the game like feel through the MC encountering dungeon puzzles which he must solve and a mysterious amnesia which slowly gets cured through his continued investment in intelligence. This means that the MC has a real outsider feel like he's not a natural part of the world or that he has just merged with an alreadynexistung character. This is both a positive and a negative as it means that in the first arc is a bit slow as he has no defined goals other than what his system provides but it is also nice to not have him on a generic revenge quest which so many stories seem to force in to give their main characters purpose. The fights aren't bad, there not to suprisinh alot of the time however as generally the ways he beats the bosses and overcomes his main challenge have been setup chapters beforehand. This isn't necessarily bad it's just a bit predictable. Overall I do enjoy this story and think that if your into a power progression story like RE:Monster or Dragon Evolve God you will enjoy this story. P.s in my previous review i said the world feels similar to Skeleton Knight in another world, no lo ger hold thst viee due to world building done in recent chapters.
