Starting Over as a Tree

At chapter 7, I got questions.

Where is the cage from ?Why does he only have 159 points when I can at least count 200 in the battle before skipping the end ?Where is the trunk upgrade ?Is author lazy ?

The idea was interesting, but at chapter 7, the consistency is already missing.

Early arc was where things got emotional and I actually felt something was amazing. Later arcs are just meh.

It's your typical LitRPG. The start is just like a game; it's more or less incremental, and then it builds up for a war ark, which the author constantly foreshadows. The author is extremely petty and dumb with the development; his comic relief is basically saying how pretty female characters are and beating whatever characters. He's especially abusive to the honey badger for no reason.

Now why is it so bad? Well, characters are added so fast that it doesn't give us time to sympathise with any;  the war ark is the poorest written work I've ever read. Basically

After showing us how they are massively superior by brutally invading the animals around, bitching about killing humans, and not even trying to negotiate with them, they are massacred melodramatically in a pyrrhic victory on the human side.All this war ark takes way too many chapters.

Of course, this isn't the end. The MC is revived for no reason just to bitch some more about humans and proceed to exterminate the few that were left, and why not revive only his alies to have someone to bitch about humans?and then give us the laziest intrigue to start a new season.

This one is great, it starts a bit weirdly but the MC creates his cohort or family and it goes to places that I don't want to spoil but it's great, it has some great moments and even some food for thought.
The MC's ok, not great but there is a big cast of secondary charts that will grow on you and the author doesn't pull his punches and takes things seriously.
Just be warned that this story is about monsters, but not devious, evil monsters but ones with awareness, humanized monsters if you will and humans being humans, so if you're ok with rooting for monsters, it's for you.
Story is great, chars are good, pace is great at times and a bit slow at times, art is pretty good too.
Overall, highly recommended, it's among the top manhuas out there, which is not much but it's probably in the top 10 imo, and those are all good.

I am always happy to find a manhua with a great storyline, and cast of characters, but this main character is carrying this series on his back (or limbs). The emotion you feel in this is something else, but the action is fire to. After bingeing this I can say that this manhua and protagonist deserves notice.

Good to read if you want MC to be non-human. Expect many fight scenes and emotional moments from the characters.
