Random review from the author here mostly to tell readers more of what to expect. This novel is a concept of mine that I wrote when I was starting out as a writer a while back when I wrote mostly to just test things out, but lately, now that I've started to write longer works, I've gotten a creative itch to try to pick this back up. So, without further ado, what to expect from the get go that I feel makes this novel concept a little more unique: System/LitRPG/Evolution- I'll be honest and say I always had a kind of issue with the system genre in that most of the time, many novels have MCs that have a system that seems completely out of place with the established setting which exists solely as a means to make the MC stronger. I wanted to give the 'system' of this novel a more natural feel to it, and as a result, it is simply the evolutionary/upgrading process that the MC, a nonhuman, constantly evolving alien creature much like the zerg from starcraft, uses to consume and evolve with. Which brings me to another point: Non-human MC- I have already written a non-human MC novel on this website, but the more I write it, the more I realize I could have explored the concept a whole lot more instead of having a character that was human at core. Here, the MC is completely inhuman, an alien monster that was bred in a cocoon and meant only to destroy and consume. As a result, it is cold, ruthless, and inhuman in many ways. I do plan on developing this MC's character so that it does not stay the same forever, but I will keep the core of its character as being fundamentally inhuman. It will never, as a result, become human for any extended period of time. That was a long read, but hopefully that was informative. Once again, thanks for reading, and though I hope you as a reader enjoy my writing, I can totally understand if it is not to your liking as well.

Pls no harem, Harem is completely contradictory to the personality of the MC, the MC is inhuman and is an enemy of life.

Definitely no harem.

It'd be hilarious if there was one. Would go against everything u built up as the MCs character.

John_Doever:Definitely no harem.

Really love the book, from what I’ve seen it’s better than a lot of the ones above you in rank! Less typos Better plot and more intresting characters. the action though is where this story shines in my opinion.

It's really nice with a non human MC and his precise actions, but I wonder will he keep his loyalty to the Collective and his mindset to devour the entire world to reach his goal, because will it's good there are better options and I simply prefer a more independent MC. Just a doubt of mine maybe will get an answer

One of the things I wanted to do with character development for this MC was precisely that. Gaining independence is definitely on the list for it

Good to know, I really like the premise and system and most of all the grammar.

Thanks a lot for the support! Hope it keeps meeting your expectations, even though I know the pace can get slow and the fights a little far from each other.

Thanks a whole bunch, glad you like the premise. I initially thought it was a little too different from what was mostly on this website, but seeing that you like it encourages me a whole bunch!

I know it would be illogical considering the mc, but would there every be any romance further down the line?

once I saw the novel and read your review and the synopsis made my heart flutter.... I love this kind of novel (Like seriously I love cold and ruthless MC's than the mc who simps a lot)

I'm loving this novel. I just love the inhuman character and how the system can't somehow automatically learn mana. The fact he feels energy but can't use it is amazing. Thank you for the great novel!

dude, I've been searching for novels EXACTLY like yours. I wanted to created an inhumane MC who of a unique race but was always stumped at how to introduce interactions without other human beings.(normally it's boring just seeing the MC slowly level up unless it's a monster one which still interacts with humanoids early on too) this novel hopefully will allow me to breakthrough this bottleneck and if it does I must thank you especially oh great trailblazer

Will there be romance atleast. Maybe not a normal romance but as he keeps evolving will he eventually gain maybe some emotion. I don’t mind no romance but I hope he’ll have a wife/partner.

John_Doever:Definitely no harem.

Does Li even count as a human? I mean, I know hes a... what was it called? Wood thingy? Im not sure, names dont work well with me. So anyways, hes a wood spirit thing but not a dryad because he went the other route but he displays human emotions despite many eldritch beings trying to convince him that he shouldnt. So outside no and inside yesnt???

It's a super complicated relationship of a push pull between normal god and eldritch evil, but the core of the story was Li attempting to hold onto his humanity. I guess I meant more that I wanted to write a story where the MC is completely and unabashedly just not human to begin with.

When I first read the synopsis and the so-called 'Doever Writing Quality Guarantee', I was taken aback. This author has quite the confidence, borderline arrogance, to publicly state such a thing, and in a synopsis no less! But as I read this novel, and got immersed in it, I realized that such confidence was not unsubstantiated. The grammar, vocabulary, lack of plot holes, and great immersive storytelling made me slowly fall in love. I see most of the novels on this platform as fast food. Most are just cheap and quickly made, just to scratch the itch of the reader and nothing more. This novel is like Five Guys. This is some gourmet burger stuff. I think about it even in my sleep. Like the Author's review says, the system element in this novel fits perfectly in the story's settings. Everything so far makes sense. All the potential questions I've had were answered, and I leave every chapter feeling happy and fulfilled. Every chapter fills me with wondrous world-building and I am oftentimes awed by how big the world is and I am often excited by the prospect of our scary alien friend assimilating it all into the Collective. The chapters are also nice and long. Like Lord of the Mysteries long. It's a huge treat compared to the average novel where they just give the minimum amount of words necessary to make Webnovel and the algorithm happy. My only worry is that this author has another large novel that he's working on. It's currently on hold for this novel because he wants to win the competition. Because of the high word count and the effort that goes into maintaining such a quality of work, I am often scared by the idea that the frequency of chapters will fall. Especially when he inevitably resumes working on his other novel. In conclusion, TL;DR, read this novel, cherish it, and treat it like you would treat your cute 2D anime waifu. With love. I love this novel almost as much as I love her.... almost.

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.
