To be clear it's more like a 3.5 on a good day, but there's some personal gripes I have with this particular story. For one, the translation or perhaps it's the original work at fault uses a lot of inconsistent wording. They can change the spelling or phrase of a particular ability, species, or organization and I don't know who is at fault for that. It doesn't detract from the experience too much but that issue happens every other chapter. Another gripe is that the MC keeps going after the... more>> big risk targets when he could lie low for long term gains and risk a lot less but it's sort of forgivable given his circumstances. This last issue I have could be something I missed, but what even is this game they all played? It's got "endings" for each race but it's also multiplayer and there's almost a generational gap between players who have heard legends of the MC playing. It's probably just something I should have ignored but it's kind of a key point to the power system he's got going on. The actual scaling of his abilities gets ridiculous alongside their downsides but the whole point of the series is that he's an evolving space monster so I can't say it's completely a bad thing.

Anyways, 3.0-3.5 still means it's alright. It's got a unique story in that the MC is actually a monster and not some hot man with horns. His relationship with his companions is enjoyable with their antics and cross-species confusion of trying to baby each other. <<less

Mate I saw this got an adaptation to a manga and it was badass. Then I checked here hoping there was an translation for the novel and found this again (cause apparently I already had it on one of my lists). Anyways, here's to hoping for future translations, cause there may be an influx of people asking for this in the very near future

Gonna make it quick but I just wanted to mention that this 'Monster' genre will stay true for the whole novel. The author doesn't deviate from the fact that the protagonist is a monster, as well as the other main characters in the series.

The MC isn't really that OP and the enemies get stronger and stronger, the MC mainly uses strategic battles such as diversion, deceit, traps, and so on, and will only face the enemy head-on when he has no other choice. It has quite a bit of mystery... more>> to it and the story also has character growth because of the protagonist past-lives as well as his companion.

Overall, it's a really great novel if you want a Non-Human Protagonist, the author is really great at portraying how the protagonist is a monster albeit a human at heart, and how animals see the human and other race. It is survival is the fittest and shows that because you kill doesn't mean your evil and it is only for survival.

A very good Survival, Reincarnated as a Monster story, highly recommended.

PS. The novel boasts a plethora of exceptional artworks, ranging from the protagonist's infancy form resembling a blend of facehugger and chest buster to the awe-inspiring adult form reminiscent of King Ghidorah. Additionally, these illustrations feature other significant characters such as No. 26, Adhai, Heavenly Mother, and PS-111, enhancing the visual appeal of the story. <<less

It's incredibly boring.

Good points

-Its actually a monster MC.

... more>> -The MC actually remains a monster mc

Mixed points

-Power progression is decent, but some things feel forced to keep the MC from snowballing out of control. For example, a very arbitrary chance of obtaining [traits]. Sometimes it just works first time no problem, letting him obtain a plot convenient [trait]. Sometimes it doesn't trigger even after dozens of times, forcing him to forego simple but powerful [traits] (if stacked together). Also, he could obtain [Robust Lifeforce] from a c*ckroach, what's stopping him from just eating a whole bunch of insects and small, weak animals to get their [traits]?

Bad points

-
Spoiler

I don't understand the authors decision to send MC to a place where danger is around every corner. After getting in the escape pod, why not just head to an uninhabited planet filled with wildlife. Like one of those "ocean planets" he keeps mentioning. Ye his evolution will be slow, but so what? He can always evolve later, without the sword of Damocles constantly hanging over his head.

[collapse]

-Horrible cliche of recurring enemy.

-MC has a severe case of I-Must-Chase-Conflict-itus <<less

I just started reading this a few days ago but from what I've read, I can say the novel is worth reading.
It might not suit some people's taste but I think everyone should at least give it a try.

The novel is detailed, but not to the point that it feels unnecessary, it has just the right amount of info.
MC is also intelligent, which he needs to be if he wants to survive.

I recommend reading on Hel Scans, they have the best translation and they post chapters consistently.

Damn this novel is good! Here we see a rational solo player survive while becoming a nightmare for his enemies, it is for his survival but for me he is a true horror villain.
Spoiler

The MC hunting style changes every arc so it never gets old since he evolvers by the chapter I am in he is capable of taking over spacecrafts and transform them into living beings/nests and taking control over people creating a horrorlike aspect towards his enemies

This is just an incredible novel of survival and evolution.

The novel does a good job at combining several elements to create a unique and engaging story. The author uses elements from a game to create the setting but does a good job at making the fictional setting seem fantastical but logical. The author does a good job at slowly explaining elements behind the game as they become relevant. One major issue I do have is that we are dropped right in the center of the action at the beginning of the novel. I'm not sure if there is a... more>> one-shot intro chapter not translated but it does make the MC mentality a little confusing because we aren't sure if the MC is a character in the game or truly transported into the game.

What the novel excels at, and what makes it truly unique are the elements of horror and gore. While the novel initially seems to present itself as an Alien knockoff, the author gets more comfortable creating grotesque imagery and monsters as the novel progresses. The MC isn't one the side of good or bad, he's on the side of survival, and he's really good at that.

I think for anyone who are fans of gore, monster movies, or the Overlord series. I think there is a lot to like here. <<less

I read it to chapter c66 so I think I have enough information to make a small review.

The novel is quite fast paced, though I don't mind it, I think it actually adds to the story since he has to adapt to a new environment as an evolving monster.
Spoiler

The MC was your "typical" try hard asian gamer who enjoyed the sci-fi alien genre, then gets transported to the game he enjoyed the most after accepting to participate in the beta testing for a new sequel of the game.
He gets reincarnated as his favorite alien, the AMORPH, which is a type of alien who focuses on the mid to late-game in gamer terms (LoL), this species of aliens can get stronger by eating other beings from species that contain ~genetic information~.
Which is pretty fun, you really feel the MC getting stronger and it's exciting, you never know what kind of monster the MC will become at the end, also, he is pretty smart, he uses strategy over force since his species is specialized in hunting.

This is my first review, don't expect it to be perfect :)

Rare story about evil monster. Not some friendly slimes or goblin, but truly Alien-style journey. As for translation, I don't see any issue with it as for now.

For someones, points of view from "pray" can be annoying as it occurs offen, but cmon - for such rare plots there is no common guidelines? And they are not long and mini side-stories in chapters (which are long, btw).

The writing is a pit choppy for the first chapter or two but gets better very quickly and becomes incredibly descriptive and engaging. It has great action with an interesting premise, sort of like reading a book biased on the movie Alien but from the alien's perspective. The planning from the MC is a particular highlight as it goes about taking over a space station like a puzzle game by figuring out who it can take out and who it desperately needs to take out, using hit and run tactics... more>> that can really get you on the edge of your seat at parts.

It's a great read. <<less

This series is great if you are looking for an intelligent protagonist trying to survive in a hostile universe. As others have said, MC became an UASM (Unidentified Aggressive Space Morph, Amorph for short) his favorite playable species in the game he used to play called Space Survival.
But differently from the game, in his new reality the NPCs are smarter and think like how real humans would do in their given situations and MC has to take everything into account before planning an attack or escape, he can't just barge in and hope his cheats will save his life, he has to be cautious and prepare for unexpected turn of events.
He's ruthless and doesn't see humans as people anymore but only as nourishment for his growth, but that isn't too bad considering humans in this universe are ruthless themselves and corrupt only wanting money and power.
I have not found yet a likeable human character in the story so far, which makes you root even more for the protagonist's progress.
Spoiler

Ironically the other likeable characters are MC's companions which are monsters of different species and help him during his raids and ambushes. And since the game became reality, MC can cooperate with them, which was impossible in the game due to Amorph race being completely solitary and incapable of communication with others.

this novel has a somber tone, likely to express that space fantasy just isnt about spaceships, countless unique and colorful races, and the romance of adventure in the galaxy but also of the unknown. Especially when the MC himself is a grotesque lifeform.

the novel world doesnt paint a picture of how advanced society is in the space age but how it is similar (or even worse) to any other era with rampant corruption, poverty, violence and stuff. And worse in a sense that there are entities out there in the... more>> vast universe that humans can barely comprehend like mc's species.

of course its not a perfect novel. No webnovel is lmao. But it is cool and interesting <<less
