A sardonic human has reincarnated into a sardonic stone. A stoic human dies and rises once more to seek vengeance on those that killed him. The two travel together on a quest for revenge facing such difficult problems as how to see, how to move, and how to not get killed by monsters.
Ah, but such is life. And death, apparently.
Participating in the Scribble Hub Adventum Contest. Let's see how this goes.
Before starting this story, I read the synopsis and wondered: Why would I read a story about a person who gets reincarnated into a rock?
Well, it was an undeniably interesting concept, but I did not honestly expect to have it retain my interest. As it turns out, I was wrong, and horribly entertained for the time it took me to read chapter 1 to 16.
I was sceptical though, seeing this categorised as litRPG. Because while my experience in reading said genre is still lacking, I have seen enough to know that it can go very, very wrong.
In this story, I did not find the interactive aspects obtrusive.
As for the blue status boxes, I thought they were nice, and that they carried meaning in the general narrative.
Overall, the story has a pretty nice flow, and the sentient rock's interactions with his undead companion are simply gold.
The overall concept reminds me a bit of the first portion of the series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, before the main character gets the hang of it.
All in all, this is a very nice story. It might not have updated in a while, but even if it does not continue, I would probably go back to read the existing chapters again.
