    I saw the reviews of everyone here and even with the huge amount of red flags decided to give it a try.

    First off, the imagination as far as abilities goes and the evolutions that her and other have are very imaginative and the worldbuilding is pretty decent. It's just that there is a lot of repetition and the formula remains basically the same until chapter 280 or so (where I decided to drop it). And also the fact that while she has like 50+ abilities Kireina, our MC, decides to only use [Arms of Demise].

    MC is a reincarnated male that turns into a female caterpillar and then evolves until she amasses a huge harem of females--as of chapter 280 there are 16 wives and like 7 children while all of her wives are pregnant--because she is
    and eventually gains an ability that allows her to grow a male reproductive organ she can use to impregnate her wives--not really a spoiler as the novel should have the "futanari" tag but doesn't. Also, if the beast/animal/whatever has curves and big/voluptuous breasts you can bet that she will have the urge to take it as a wife and impregnate it if her children don't kill it first. It is an R-18 novel so there are sex scenes littered throughout.

    I felt that I should mention that previous point because it's not mentioned in the tags and could be a turn-off for some readers. Now, the MC in her previous life was a male but is now a female and from some other reviewers and some small research on my own I have found that


    The MC is a caterpillar and is able to gain the abilities of the things she eats, so she goes around killing literally EVERYTHING in order to get XP and abilities from things, which makes sense as she is now in the law of the jungle, but if you don't like mindless slaughter and a sadistic MC who sometimes tortures people or uses her hypnosis magic on someone whose entire tribe she just slaughtered for no real reason aside from XP and abilities and wanting to take the "beautiful, voluptuous tribe leader" as a wife then go ahead. If it isn't a member or her harem/family or has a pair of tits and is able to bang and impregnate it--not kidding this is mentioned multiple times--then maybe you could enjoy this one.

    The formula of the story remains the same really and there's a certain point for 69 chapters straight that is just fight > kill > eat > have sex and impregnate wives > sleep > wake up and spend an entire slice of life chapter with the children wives and repeat. It gets very monotonous after a while and is basically a fanfic written by an author who wants to vent their sexual fantasies and mislabels it as something else.

      I quit reading a bit before the gay part because it got boring. Though when i saw that i thought why even bother. The first part of the novel was all about a guy coming to a fantasy world and getting lot of wives and having fun... but the evolutions and powers became generic and then she made the mc act like a girl instead of a guy...

      Most readers... at least me don't appreciate what is basically a personality swap.

      I think this is worth mentionong before someone starts even reading it

    At first I was skeptical about reading this since a lot of reviews are just hate, but tried it anyway and now I wonder if the others read the same story as me? There are some very minor grammar problems, but that's not really a problem. This novel is actually good! Why do people hate actual new and fresh things is beyond me. Compared to other garbage on WebNovel, this one should be in top 25 at least, if not 15. The "world" is big and is constantly "expanded" through the story.
    Yes, it is a reincarnation/transmigration story, yes, there is a System, BUT it is not like the other novels!

    I will use spoiler in tiers, the higher tier the latter it is in the story and maybe more important overall.

    1. The MC's actual identity (spoiler tier 2!)
    , in fact, (spoiler tier 3!)
    , she is actually (spoiler tier 5!)
    !
    I really don't understand why people complain about this so much, it is a breath of fresh air compared to like 99% of reincarnation garbage novels and adds a lot to the story! Not to mention that MC actually grows mentally (and physically ;) ) and comes to accept who and what she is. Again, actual MC growth (not just power wise) isn't that common nowadays.

    2. The System, unlike in vast majority of other novels, is actually fleshed out and is completely different. I have never read a novel with System written like that, seriously. It's fleshed out, just like the power systems and other aspects of the story. And what Kireina does with it later on, let's just say, I haven't read a single novel that does something like this. Maybe something somewhat close but not like this (maybe "Master of the System", but it's still different).

    3. The pacing. Well it is kinda weird tbh. Not even a year passes and a lot of stuff happened. It irked me also, but the revelation about Kireina's identity and explanation about her "powers" shortly after, explains, at least partially, why she grows so fast. Well, her real identity and the initial blessing of The System Master (who is this master? read the novel.) both play a big role here. Anyway, you could just ignore the "Day xxx" lines if it makes you feel better lol.

    4. The sex. Yes, there is sex here, but the author does put NSFW or 18+ warnings in chapter titles and most of those can be just scrolled through as they don't really add anything to the story. Sometimes first half of such chapters is actual story while the latter half is sex. There's also big harem and a lot of offspring, but it is fluff.

    4.5 I have seen people complain that Kireina's wife love her only because of the powers she acquires (like the
    ) and it's basically brainwashing (even if unintentional), but idk, not like she uses them as slaves or anything like that, so idc.

    5. The world is pretty big, but it's not what it seems! (spoiler tier 3!)
    and (spoiler tier 4!)
    . Also, (spoiler tier 4!)


    6. Kireina's "status panel". Yes, it can grow big, but there are (spoiler tier 1)
    to compress it. However, her status actually changes length as story progresses, I'd say it fluctuates. There are also what I would call "stages" to it. For example when (spoiler tier 4!)
    very later on in the story, the "status panel" just gets insane a bit lshock , but compared to previous "stages" it isn't that long. Well, I guess it doesn't matter that much! It just means she is strong kiaa !

    Just read it! Amazing novel.

    WELL, ultimately, I have just stopped reading reviews before reading novels. Many times it's just full of haters that nitpick anything actually fresh and/or different than usual.

      For me, the story itself isn't really my type of story. My problem is this author is arrogant and generally rude, you can see some of their comments on their stories and the fact the they just copy pasted the same story like 13 times and they're making bank off of it.

      People hate on the novel because it's honestly a bad novel.

      I have read around 300 chapters and the MC literally was brainless in those 300 chapters or so.

      He has the devouring ability (Which is already quite generic but we won't judge the story because of it), he has hundreds of skills and for the first 300 chapters all he did was spam 'Arms of Demise' over and over even if they didn't work, eventually, it would, however, start working and magically kill the enemy.

      He then fought against enemies that have some magical domains (can't remember correctly) and he got caught off guard, I don't mind him being caught off guard against a new enemy in fact I think it's something that's well done to show that MC isn't just to OP and that he also has some faults the problem comes in when he fights like 3 more enemies with the same magical domain and still almost gets killed multiple times because he's stopped using his brain, instead of trying to think how to counter it before fighting he'd rush in spam arms of demise once again almost die and then kill them, if that didn't work then he would just add some threads or something that makes it more powerful and go back to spamming.

      He also only thinks with his dick, he sees a pretty girl and just loses his mind, pretty sure he literally made a random pirate into a sea queen(or something similar) just because she was hot. That and add onto the fact that he creates a massive harem to just get thrown about and be 'submissive' when he literally used to be a male
      and is getting thrown around by his harem and they keep trying to make her 'submissive' in fact one of them literally grew a dick and impregnated her which is also a massive turn off.

      Most of the women in fact don't even care about him they only care about his power, he literally sees a woman for the first time and loses his mind and goes to f#ck them that's literally it no romance no nothing.

      The status panel is also a massive problem considering that some of it takes up literally a whole page if not near it, all that for her to not use a single different skill or to use multiple skills together, she just spams the same thing over and over.

      The world building was actually pretty good though, I read it a while ago and can't remember most of it was one of the few things that honestly kept me reading.

        It is later explained why she got different world male memories. Also I do not think it's a bad novel, in fact it's easily in top 15 for me on webnovel, compared to all the trash on there. I do admit that the grammar gets little improvement though its been more than 2 years since the start of the novel, but it's honestly not that bad, the typos etc. are better now.

        I do not know why people are so focused on the "romance" and harem part. I, personally, do not care at all. Sure, the women in Kireina's harem might be influenced by her power somewhat, but, again, I do not care about the harem (though I do like the shenanigans of her children). Also, do remember that she has Sin of Lust + male weeb memories.

        The status panel gets ridiculous, yes, but I do love seeing skill mergers (later there is less and less and now there is none, at least for now). As for the length of it, well, it fluctuates through the novel and there are chapters (especially in the current world) that are basically just the status panels. Though it might be the result of having too many ongoing novels to update daily for the author so the chapters are shorter than they were in the beginning.

        As for the beginning, well, it was one of the author's first novels so give them a break a little.

          Most people focus on romance because it's one of the biggest aspects of the novel considering that she has 30 wives and 2 husbands, around 9 or 10 of those wives were within the first 300 chapters as well. I'm not talking about them being influenced by her 'sin of lust', I'm saying that they only care about her being powerful and thus sleep with him.

          MC also literally doesn't even use his brain and loses his mind anytime he see's a woman and deems them his wives, since she has male weeb memories she should act more male? So why is she getting dominated by her harem and getting dicked down... This also happened when we didn't know the memories were fake, most people could accept this novel because it was 'Yuri' but the author is casually adding dicks here and there and if I saw the fandom correctly she even married 2 men while having male memories.

          < That's the latest status which literally takes up half of the page. Plus even with so many abilities the MC hardly uses any, in the 300 chapters I read he literally used 'Arms of demise' and basically nothing else.

          The reason for her having male memories instead of actually being a male was most likely some sort of plot that author came up with to have a reason for the MC to marry 'men' as well as have sex with 'futa' which is quite bad considering that most people that read this did so because it has a 'Yuri' tag and not a 'Yaoi' or anything similar.

          Not judging you though, as long as you enjoy reading this novel then go for it you know, everyone has different tastes, hope you enjoy reading the rest of the novel if you haven't already finished it welldone

            I caught up long time ago, now I read the daily chapter. But yeah, if you don't like it then /shrug. It does have some flaws, but idc, still better than most trash on webnovel. Though the lore does go deeper as the novel progresses.

      I agree that this novel good but people dont see the real potential of this story.

      The thing I noticed is that after this novel get popular is thier more novels that focus on the devouring ability.
