Parasyte System

I'm enjoying the story so far. The fight scenes are well written and enjoyable. The MC isn't OP and actually fights intelligently. I'm excited to see how the story develops in the future.

I love the Qualoty over Quantity approach! I really can't wait to see what other "blocked functions" exist for the system. I wonder if there will ever be some sort of telepathic parasite for communication or some other utility parasite that isnt for staling abilities directly.

Parasyte System is an enjoyable albeit flawed power fantasy. Let me briefly unpack that.

I have now read every chapter currently available on Webnovel, and I have to say, this is a mixed bag. I'll start with the good.

The story is interesting. The backstory of the proliferation, The three classes and their different attributes is intriguing. The characters are charming. There is a lot to enjoy about this Webnovel. If the story ended here, I'd have no problem strongly recommending this story to anyone who crosses my path. Unfortunately, the story doesn't end here. There is a myriad of problems with this Webnovel. I'll now unpack the most egregious.

Giving some credit where its due, for a non-native to the English language, the author is very promising. I've seen webnovels on this platform written by native English speakers done worse. That isn't to say this is done well. The biggest gaffes of this work isn't even related to the English language, but rather writing conventions. I'll start with the most unforgivable.

The author begins the story writing in the first-person perspective. A few chapters down the line, the author moves into the third-person perspective. I understand the reason. Worldbuilding is difficult in the first-person. It isn't impossible, but it is difficult. The author made the choice to break free from the perspective he chose in order to easier tell a bigger story. The issue is, he never went back to change the first few chapters into the third-person.

Chapters after the impromptu change, I was still unsure as to what was happening, who was narrating, who exactly we were meant to be following. I did eventually key onto the change in POV, however, were I not internally compelled to carry on, I would have dropped this webnovel immediately.

It's not an easy fix, but it is a necessary one. The first few chapters really need to be changed to reflect the authors chosen POV.

The next big issue, not fatal like the one above, but still bad, is the author's maddening choice to constantly repeat information that has just been provided, A character will say something, conveying information to the reader, the author will then repeat the information provided in dialogue in the narration. Why do this? It baffles me. It really detracts from the work, Breaking away from this convention is a small change that would radically improve this work.

Another issue is that there is a lot of telling and little to no showing. Emotions are not conveyed through the use of creative writing, the reader is just told what the characters are feeling. This isn't as much of a problem as the two issues stated above, however, fixing it would really improve this webnovel.

I'm certain that there are more issues with this webnovel, but that isn't to say that it's not an enjoyable read. Parasyte System is a diamond in a lot of rough. It would blind in its brilliance, but only if the author is willing to really polish.

While this is a good concept and not a bad storyline the writing is not very good, for example there is very little on terms of both character development and backstory. The writing development and how the author tells you about what has happend and how he got the parasite system is a bit crude and dry.

This is not meant to be demeaning nor could I do any better, it is just meant to be constructive critasims from your friendly neighbourhood hypocrite.

this book is ok short chapters, low amount of chapters any novel under 120 chapters with locked ones is automatically bad for me. Ya I think the author is just money hungry like a game dev nowadays only making stuff to milk money from it. Tbh I think there should be a 100 chapter minimum before you can lock chapters.

struggled to make it through the first chapter. this story needs alot of work and needs a over haul on both characters and world view building and development.

noooooo you can not do this to me. After a long time of waiting for a novel that can make me wanna stay stuck reading it this is what you do to me.
I want justice .. but since a kind, handsome, awesome and benevolent me I will only ask you to increase the spread of the updates

A good novel with bad(in my perspective) update rate. Will be waiting for it to stack a bit. The author is putting a lot of effort. A slice of action coated with the comedy and fantasy in an otherworldly superhuman school life.
