One of the best LitRPGs i've ever read and i've read a lot of them. Leveling is crisp and clear, the details are interesting, evolutions are fun, fights are engaging, its got good kingdom building, and most importantly it isnt being flooded with hundreds of 'oh-pee' skills that never get used. I also love that Liu Shu does not compromise on her principles for a safer life and challenges the status quo. I love that she is somehow a very active protagonist, despite being, yknow, an imobile tree. Another aspect I like which others might not appreciate but I do is all the slaughter. Liu Shu as a World Tree is naturally ruthless towards her enemies, and no one who threatens her or her family escapes the reach of her roots alive. Villain's getting what they deserve is such a satisfying aspect of progression stories for me and theres no lack of that here.
tl;dr I can easily recomend this to anyone whos a fan of non-human LitRPGs. Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos is fantastic and a shining example of the genre.
However, I do need to give one heads up. As of this review, the romantic and smut aspects of the story are basically non-existent. There are hints that there might be more in the future, and it could technically happen at any time, but for now, I'll just be like Liu Shu and wait patiently.

Lovely story, I couldn't stop reading.
After looking at the tags, I thought it would have a lot more of 18+ content, which I am glad it wasn't the focus so far. The whole concept of World Trees evolution and her interaction with the different species is quite nice. A lot of insights on the so "intelligent" races. There're plenty of cute and series moments without being too much either way.
Grammar sometimes is a bit weird, but nothing too much.
MC is quite OP but it's a week-to-strong progression, so it's nice to see the growth of not only the MC but of many characters. I am actually happy with many of those side characters, with different personalities and views, although I wish it would go a bit further on their story.
Overall a really nice time investment and read.

Good evening and once again, but no less important: Thank you for the chapter. As for this story, I admit that at first I didn't have high expectations. I thought it would be difficult for a tree to captivate me as much as Yasenia, but I was positively surprised. Liu Shu also has charisma and the chapters are a lot of fun to read. The different ways of thinking between the races and the pink fairies themselves are great attractions in this story and also add a lot of tension to the plot. (Example: As much as the pink fairies want to defend Liu Shu and are willing to die in this effort. They're not as strong as the maids and Tatyana, so I'm much more apprehensive about the tree and the lovely pink fairies than I am about the Dragon. Who, in addition to her own strength and cunning, still has Tatyana, Valeria, Mirror, Maids, Harem... and a whole range of allies). I kind of underestimated that Yasenia will cope with whatever the Heavens throw at her, but Liu Shu won't. Yasenia's ability is a trait developed from her efforts and I really like this hard-working MC that our Dragon is. But I have to admit that Liu Shu's naivety and fragility also have their charms. In short, you're writing two very good stories with immensely different but equally captivating protagonists.

I have a few things to say about it. I'll start with the bad.
The writing is a bit... rough. There is excessive use of line breaks. A line break is not needed after every sentence. It makes the reading experience feel somewhat jagged in a way. Many linebreaks could just be omitted in it.
Tell don't show is also a massive problem here. It has an overload of plainly described things that could be written to be a bit more, I don't know exactly how to put it, poetic? I just read about a war, and rather than describing the size or power of the army, or the threat various parts of the army has, you are just outright told the level of every creature. Instead of "Dozens of weaker creatures charged at the ect ect" it will be "4 level 5's, eight level 6's and a level 8 creature charged and the level 7 fairies fought alongside the level 9 fairy."These parts could be better described.
In addition, there is a bit of an overload of information. We don't need to see all the details of everyone's skill sheets every chapter. I ended up skipping information because it was overwhelming to see everything pasted plainly, rather than just on occasion or sparsely important moments.
————————————
With that out of the way, here is the good, the real good.
The world-building is phenomenal. It has many unique concepts juggled with expert care. It's thoroughly unique and I love it.
I am also compelled by the characters. Many of them have distinct and different personalities from one another, and the author does and excellent job of describing just how alien the different though processes between species is. Excellent job in this regard.
Honestly, I think this story has a bunch of potential, but it would need some hefty rewrites across the board to be a great story. More focus on showing, rather than telling, and less overwhelming with plain text explanations

I didn't vote for the Tree LitRPG thing way back then, because I wasn't interested in another LitRPG.
I have only had Liu Shu for 2 days, but if anything happens to her, I will kill everyone in this room and then myself.
So, as I usually do, let me tell you what to expect:
Characters—
Tianlian Liu Shu is our bebe, the greatest, cutest, most useful tree in the whole wide world, with the bestest fruits ever. No other tree can compare. Liu Shu is our bebe and that's that. Flor is the sweetest mother, though I always have to scale her in my head because of how small she actually is. Ignatia is best mommy. Tree is a cute mom. The love interests are interesting, and while it is currently a slow burn and the plot background still seems to be under wraps, they are interesting nonetheless. Still, I do not think anything will happen until all (7?) of them gather. They're like some powerful stones from an anime or something. Gotta gather all the rings! Also, the serpents are hard to picture, because wide wings and long snek just goes against the aesthetic in my head. Doing my best though. Really gotta accept how mighty a*s beeg the flying danger noodles are. All in all, good character writing, as usual!
Story—
The story is wonderful. The chapters are a stretch longer than what I remember from HEM, but they are engaging and in a way, even better written than HEM. Still, neither are exact duplicates, and they both have unique qualities which make them distinguishable and lovable. What's particularly impressive here is the handling of the numbers. Most LitRPGs follow an average for their systems or their universes. Some have very large numbers which increase just as large, others have very small numbers which increase sporadically in small increments, others follow a balance while they all have varying degrees of progression for their MC and deuteragonists. What's impressive here, is that the numbers are handled incredibly well! You start low, then you gradually go up, HOWEVER, the numbers don't just fly sky high— in fact, you easily immerse into the world and feel the stupendous effects of large numbers when they arrive. (I postulate that it may be because the author is using an amount/max style, which really emphasizes the digits when status screens are brought up. This however, doesn't explain the effect on the reader when you read about the damage numbers flying around) The perspective and writing all blend together to make the numbers have weight, and lets you appreciate what over 100, 000 of something can do even when bigger numbers shoot, because you've come to understand and appreciate what only 66 of it can do
Grammar—
About what you'd expect from the author. General mistakes here and there, but mostly word choices and such. The story itself is very readable. Though, perhaps it is because I am late to the party, I feel like the initial mistakes aren't being corrected as much as they were during the early cents of HEM? Could just be my imagination though, and anyway, I'm too busy pampe— I mean, spoili— I mean, looking forward to our dear bebe Liu Shu's growth.
Who is the bestest and cutest tree in the whole wide world?
| EHEHEHEHEHEHE~ Big numbers~ hehehehehe
Big numbers are good! Big numbers are great! Who says otherwise? This doting one will fight them!
