Ashlani's Reincarnation, Volume 1

De: Ben Denton

Narrado por: Robb Moreira

Hunt. Adapt. Evolve.

Betrayed and left for dead, Ashlani awakens as a keelish—a small and savage reptilian creature clinging to the bottom of the food chain.

Armed with nothing but instincts and a mysterious System, he must fight to grow stronger, evolve into something greater, and survive a world that wants him dead.

But survival isn't enough. To claim revenge, Ashlani must become more than a monster. He must become a predator feared by all.

Join Ashlani's rise from prey to predator in this monster LitRPG packed with survival, evolution, and vengeance.

mostly good.

The story starts off pretty fast, getting you directly into the plot and niche of the story. There is barely enough time to really get to know the betrayer, and thus feel little when the backstabbing commences.
after that, the flow is immediately established and it kicks into high-gear. The evolution and combat are really fun to read(listen to). providing a pretty easygoing pace and fast gratification. the problem is that there isn't any true variation or Twists to look out for. The story is what it is, and wears it proudly. after a while, the story really suffers from this lack of diversity. and the end just seems like the end of another chapter. I was actually surprised when it ended without a major plot point or anything.

other then that, I really did enjoy listening to it, and am going to continue with it. glad to see stories from Royal Road getting the love they deserve. there are some real gems on there.

Tribe building done well, but to much lizard seggs

The story is more of a tribe builder with emphasis on the MC. The battles are thorough but not drawn out.

There is not much humor as the story takes a more serious tone, and this is personal bias, but I enjoy more levity in my monster evolution LitRPG.

Also, I'm not a scalie, so less(preferably zero) lizard seggs would be preferable. Just didn't start this book with these expectations based off the provided tags.
