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.

LIKEIt'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
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!
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
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.
