After reading the synopsis and finding out that there is no light at the end of the tunnel I should have noticed it for the foreshadowing that it was. Which to be honest is confusing because the MC goes on to tell me otherwise not two seconds later. Conceptually, the story is there. The writing quality is decent, the grammar at a wonderfully refreshing level when surrounded by some of the alphabet soup that is on the site. For that, I can't fault it. Unfortunately, besides the story idea and the quality of grammar. The story is incredibly slow to start. Our MC who is basically a potato who without his handy Internal (AI) companion at the start isn't great. Between his own inner dialogue and the Internal companion force-feeding him his every action, there are massive blocks of text that make you feel like the mushroom bugs the Mc first becomes. Sadly at times, it seems like he isn't the hero of his own story and just a side character to the events that are happening around him. Then in a whirlwind of plot armour, our clueless MC goes from blob to bug, from food to finally an ancient dragon in the form of an overpowered little boy so quickly that even he doesn't have a clue what is happening. And His opponents are cardboard cutouts that are there to drive his story. They offer no real threat or feeling of suspense. But that's just me rambling. Overall the story has great potential and a large amount of content with stable enough releases to feed your inner bibliophile.
