I really question how literally ALL of us here know what is going on in there. It is either a forced mutation, evolution, or recovery from advancement. Why does NO ONE is the story ever think of this most likely situation?
I can accept Balor and the other 2 party members being too dense to realize what's happening, but the scout and the captain being clueless? Total loss of confidence in this team!
Bruh your teacher literally taught you this 6 months ago... Beasts resort to cannibalism among their groups to progress. Like seriously man I thought you were a smart mc.
It's the same as all stories with stupid MCs it's like the author didnt proof read it and see "Ohh that's too obvious anyone could figure that out maybe I should change that"
I see no noticeable difference in quality of English grammar between the first 20 chapters as Alessandro as editor and the few chapters after without an editor. I don't want to sound rude but I think you need this feedback.
