A constructive criticism: A fairly sub-par work, highly not recommended as it is so far. The author is barely making an effort in keeping readers interested. This mostly comes off as a grade school project, with the author trying desperately to hit word count requirements rather than actually write anything of entertainment value. The writing comes across as completely forced, as if the author has no interest in their own webnovel. This is rather unfortunate as the plot is somewhat unique and could make for a compelling story, one that may get a good TV/Movie adaptation. Author-San, please worry less about filling a chapter with words and more on telling an actual story, one with plot, direction, and an compelling narrative. One of the most recommended tips from successful authors is to, in a separate document the readers don't get see, list the upcoming plot points you have in mind, then make it seem like you knew what you were doing all along. The story will come along seemingly on its own as you try to connect one plot point to the next. Using 12 words to describe a standard steel bowl, and writing down what each character does in the bathroom and how many minutes it takes to move their bowels followed by a quarter hour breakdown of each of their actions whilst in the restroom is how you lose readers. I probably will not be reading this novel again until a few hundred chapters have been written, and will probably jump straight from where I currently am (chapter 60) directly to future chapter... 600? to check how things have gone. I hope the chapters prior to that will be worth going back to read. Take care Author-San, and please, do try looking up writing advice online if you feel stuck. I hope my words do not dissuade you from continuing Psychic Parasyte, that your writing improves, and that readers come flocking to your work.

I agree with this. I'm at chapter 129 and I'm tempted to drop the book. The plot really has a lot of potential and the way it's written doesn't fully bring out that potential.
