Re: Evolution Online

On just another normal Monday, a new virtual reality game called "Evolution Online" launched out of nowhere and took the world by storm. People were blown away by the game’s hyper-realistic features and endless adventures. Everyone from small companies to big corporations and governments scrambled to get a foothold on this mysterious video game. But what they didn't know was that this game was actually a tutorial for the upcoming apocalypse that was about to hit the planet! The game was a precursor to the Earth's first evolution, where mana was going to be unleashed into the real world! Liam, a high school student who had faced numerous setbacks in his life, turned to 'Evolution Online' in the hope of changing his fate, but instead, he got trapped in the game's twisted world, and things went from bad to worse. When the apocalypse finally arrived, Liam barely managed to escape, but his situation didn't improve. Along with millions of others, he died a miserable death, unable to fight back and filled with regret. However, Liam's story didn't end there. He found himself inexplicably transported back in time before everything started! Armed with the knowledge of what was to come, Liam was determined to become the strongest and most powerful player, unleashing destruction upon the world that had ruined him before! This time, things were going to be different! ******************* Discord Link for chatting with author and character art https://discord.gg/XS7gWScKn8

If you look through the reviews you will see that all the hate comments are from people who have read less than 60 chapters. While people who have atleast read 100 chapters or more (like me), praise this novel, and its creative author. The story may seem like the it doesn't go the conventional way at first, like the choices the Mc make. You may even feel like dropping this novel. But trust me and keep moving forward, once u get to atleast chapter 60, u will realise this is a diamond hidden in coal. Infact i reccomend all readers give a try(force yourself to read it even if u cant deal with the seemingly dumb choice MC seems to make) to uptill chapter 62, then i bet u will keep with this novel. About this novels MC, he choices may seem stupid and illogical to people, especially wat he does in chapter 45(note: many of you will even feel like to drop this novel at this chapter, but please hold u will together and march forth), but later on you will see why his decisions will benefit him. Also its not that the author is accidentally making the mc stupid, but the author is trying to portray that he is genuinely ignorant in this story, and he is improving by learning from his mistakes. This is what is meant by character development. If you are here to see a kumo desu ga, nani ka MC in this novel that instantly knows what skills to pick,or where watever legendary skills she picks becomes immensely useful, or have a diety watching wat the MC is doing while talking/informing her, then this is not tat kind of novel. Sure this novel shows a MC similar to kumo desu ga, but the only advantage that the MC has is his human inteligence. But that just gives him a headstart (Spoiler: As its strongly implied that monsters in lower levels will have higher inteligence and thinking capability) and lets him choose how to evolve/mutate. Other than that he is no other advantage, no info about the world from a God, no understanding of how dangerous situation he is or anything. This is a novel where it clearly shows the intensity of survival. The MC sometimes have to pick the short term benefits just to survive bit longer than the long term benefits. But after each of his trials and tribulation he find ways to turn his short term benefits to a long term advantage. That is the best thing of this novel.

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

Chrysalis is a story about a human transforming into an ant monster in a world where every living creature has access to the System. Writing Quality - There is little repetition that I noticed, which is an unfortunately common affliction among many of the novels on this site. It is easy to read and understand without seeming underdeveloped or basic. This is what should be the baseline for all the novels on this site to reach. Stability of Updates - I binged the whole story over the course of 2 days so I cannot comment on stability. I have seen a few apologies by the author for being late occasionally, but the overall reader reaction is positive in this regard. Story Development - At the time of this review, there are 446 chapters released. The story is fine. Anthony, a newly reborn ant monster, is sent out into the massive Dungeon and he wants to uncover why he was summoned and who is Gandalf (the name he gives the System), all the while undergoing adventures and meeting new people and monsters, and sometimes eating them. It has good pacing with lots of room left for new interesting events to occur. Character Design - The Protagonist is the weakest link in this story. Put frankly, he constantly acts in a manner which infuriated me and a number of other readers by making stupid choices that a normal person wouldn’t make. I believe this is deliberate on the author’s part as it happens a lot but always seems to work out in the main cast’s favor in the end. Some wasted potential comes in the form of the main character’s backstory as a human. In order to keep this review spoiler free I will refrain from talking about it directly, but every time it appears I feel disappointed. The other characters are better and far more interesting, if a bit cliché. I wish more time would be spent on them, but I also know that a similar web novel Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? does just that and I can understand if the author wishes to be distinct from it. World Background - The world building is where this story shines. At the start of many chapters, the author will give a snippet from some in-universe books which gives the reader some insight into the world of Pangera and those who live in it. The setting feels more lived in and real than most other #system novels that I have read and the protagonist is less of a prophesied hero and more like just another person in this world. Very Good. Overall - if you are interested in something to pass the time in an enjoyable manner without having to pay ridiculous premium costs, then I can recommend this novel wholeheartedly. Finally, 8 legs are better than 6. Fight me.

Brothers of the Dungeon rejoice! Swing, swing, swing with me Raise your mandibles and raise your voice! Sing, sing, sing with me Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath? Biomass, rubies, gold and more Hidden in the mountain store Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of Diamond, mana in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole The sunlight will not reach this low Deep, deep in the Dungeon Never seen the blue moon glow Ants won't fly so high Fill your Facehands and down some Biomass! Stuff your bellies at the feast! Stumble home and fall asleep Dreaming in our mountain keep Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom We do not fear what lies beneath We can never dig too deep I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of Diamonds, mana in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole I am a Ant and I'm digging a hole Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole I think Anthony would find a great friend in some Dwarfs ;-) Great writing, Updates are coming regulary too. Character Design is great and the World Background gets trinkeld in every now and then. A solid 4.4~5 stars
