Initially, I had a more extensive review, but unfortunately, I lost it. In the original review, I compared this novel to "Overlord" and how it draws from its positive elements while avoiding common clichés, such as side characters constantly fawning over the main character.

Here are the strengths of the story so far:

Great World-Building: The novel impressively introduces a wealth of information throughout its narrative without resorting to tedious info dumps.

Effective Side Character Development: If you're familiar with "Overlord, " you'll recognize how the author introduces characters who are initially just ordinary people and then places them at the center of conflicts. This novel does this repeatedly, and I love getting to see these situations from the perspective of these characters.

MAPS: The inclusion of maps is a real asset. It adds a visual dimension to the story, akin to watching a WW2 documentary, especially during city sieges. Kudos to the author for helping readers visualize the countries and cities.

Non-Human Protagonist: Unlike some other stories, where the main character reincarnates into a monster form and then gains a human form later on, this novel keeps the protagonist distinctly non-human. This aspect evolves and becomes more pronounced as the story unfolds.

On the downside, here are the issues I remember:

Hasty Relationship Development: The early relationship between Cecilia and the main character felt rushed. Initially, Cecilia comes across as edgy and we didn't get any good reasons behind her anger other than "my dad locked me up" until later. Also, her quick transition to addressing the main character as "friend" at every interaction seemed too abrupt. A more gradual development of trust and friendship would have been more believable.

Grammar and Tense: The use of present tense for internal thoughts sometimes creates a disjointed reading experience. For example, sentences like "Beatrice was quite nervous, truth be told. She is a Beastiarian, a researcher of the many forms of life scattered across Terra. She finds comfort in books and dissection tables" could benefit from a more consistent tense, such as: "Beatrice was quite nervous, truth be told. She was a Beastiarian, researching the many life forms scattered across Terra and finding comfort in books and dissection tables." 

(Major Spoiler) :

Missed Development Opportunity: The encounter between Cecilia and the human side of the Great Beast after she was knocked out by a lightning attack lacked development. It would have been more satisfying if Cecilia had shared her experiences during her unconsciousness, or if the author had delved into her internal reflections on who this person might be. The unexplained nature of the encounter left a gap in the narrative.

In summary, while the story exhibits notable strengths, particularly in world-building and character development, issues with grammar and tense consistency, as well as missed opportunities for character development, affect the overall reading experience. The author's improvement throughout the story is evident, but some revision of the early chapters would help draw in more readers

This is so far one of my favorite english WNs; it's about a monster that remains a monster within an interesting world, with good characters and no glaring plot holes. There were a couple times early on where I worried that it might go the terrible route of making him suddenly get normal human morals / basically be a pet... but don't worry, that seems to just have been a brief possibility. He definitely stays inhuman, he just goes the eldritch god route instead of the mindless beast route. Still plenty of slaughter and eating people.

There are some small consistency issues (ultimately meaningless details change a few times), but the biggest problem is grammar. The author seems afraid of commas, and absolutely terrified of semicolons (to the point that I only remember seeing one). The style hurts a bit too; at the beginning, there are eight sentences with ellipses... in a row! The writing quality improves a ton as it goes on (especially dialogue and ellipsis overuse), but it could still really benefit from a grammar check.

I'm giving it a 5 anyway because the writing improves so much as you go... it definitely needs a thorough grammar fix if it's planned to publish though, especially the start. The start could use a rewrite in general tbh, the general writing quality is way worse than later (especially conversations, I was cringing pretty hard at some of those early ones).

Beginning was super good, though I think it might have been a bit better if he wasn't reincarnated but was instead just a monster. It was about chapter 8 or 9 that things just started going downhill fast. The author introduced Cecilia who was just boring and annoying. The conversations between the two were just, awkward. Constantly calling each other 'friend'. I never knew the word friend could be so overused.

I lost all interest in this story with the old woman. All the fate and prophecy sh*t just felt icky. In my opinion the story would have been better with the MC going solo. Then occasionally having POV changes to different people, perhaps showing their reaction to an unknown monster so close to home. I also thought he was growing a little too fast. Story was really good, but I believe he should have stayed solo. And I'm not saying the story should be in the mc's POV 24/7, I think it would have been interesting learning about other characters. Which could also serve as a nice small time-skip away from the mc's constant eating.

I like the story so far. The MC is savage, ruthless and calculating. The pace is good. The worldbuilding seems amazing so far.  There is also concept of fate as the main theme.

For those who like it, the author uses poem in many places to convey meaning and world history.

starts off great with an interesting worldbuild and MC, interesting abilities and a lot of potential, but quickly becomes an edgy, badly written and dragged out story, abandoning completely the focus on the main character, the only interesting character in the whole story, becoming a completely 2d bad piece of writing
