Review Detail of Rhongomynaid in Rebirth Into A Wolf: I Can See My Evolution Paths
Review detail
This might not seem offensively bad at first glance but it's monotonous, underwhelming and mediocre to such an exaggerated extent, I can't recommend it to anybody. The worldbuilding, "characters", combat, "story" and just progression in general are ridiculously prosaic have been done a million times before in far more unique ways. There's nothing wrong with writing a safe novel but this is genuinely worthless. This isn't even that good at what it's trying to do, everything about this so far has been sub par at best, the execution of it's immensely uninspired ideas included. In hindsight, it almost feels like parody. This whole subgenre of "reincarnated into a non human and evolving" has already had most of it's value milked dry so unless there's an interesting twist or gimmick, there really is nothing entertaining, unique or of value conceptually to warrant the existence of this novel. Despite this I assure you that even if this was made when the subgenre was new, the banal, safe, tiresome execution and complete lack of creativity this novel displays would still make it seem pointless and unexciting. If I asked some godly AI to take every "reincarnated into a non human and evolving" novel and manga in existence, remove every distinguishing, unique or valuable idea and then combine them into a novel, I'd probably get something just like this. The authors writing ability is fairly adequate so it's a real mystery why he even bothered writing something this insipid. If I had to guess though, I'd say that's it's probably a lack of creativity and passion along with the desire to earn some quick money. Not worth my time. 0.5/5

I was referring to really bad translations or English original novels that are borderline ineligible and painful to read, not novels with a few typos or grammatical errors here and there.
Ozonelayer:To be fair webnovel is mainly occupied by your everyday person, not someone wishing to be a author so some mistakes are bound to happen, we are human after all.
Yeah RI is a classic, used to read it as it was getting TLed. It didn't get dropped, China banned it...
ultimatecoom:go check out reverend Insanity novel it is better novel sadly it got dropped :(
you are way to biased with the rating, it is at best 4 and at worst 3/3.5 while not the best this kind of story is not a fast paced one, it should be just like tiger king one and this is the best of this batch

It only took 2 brain aneurysms and half a stroke but I think I get the gist of what you're saying in this comment, it was hard since you replied to a random comment of mine instead of the review I assume you meant to reply to and of course the general incoherence that plagues the average Webnovel user. First off: My criticisms are valid, this novel is undoubtedly unoriginal, passionless, insipid, monotonous and conceptually worthless. Secondly: If you're going to disagree with me (or anyone really), please actually refute one of my many arguments instead of just accusing me of being biased. Also note that having standards ≠ biased. Funnily enough you come off as biased (in favour of this novel) because all you've done is say "oh this novel is a 3.5-4" without defending the novel at all and also stating that this novel isn't fast paced as if that's something I'd have a problem with for some reason. You replied to the wrong comment instead of my review and ironically the comment you replied to was one of me praising my favourite Chinese novel which happens to be rather infamous for how slowly paced it is. Please don't assume I know what "Tiger King" is, I have no idea what Tiger King is but if it's similar to this, please keep it far, far away from me. Now lastly, stop flaunting your dreadfully lowbrow taste and then demanding acceptance, go read any manga in the same subgenre (Re:Monster for example). They're mostly bad but far from this bad, the difference in quality is very obvious to anyone with the slightest bit of sentience. I'm not sure if this novel is the best of this batch or not because I didn't read the other novels that came out this week, the titles and synopses didn't appeal to me. It'd be pretty depressing if this is the best novel from this week since that'd mean this entire batch is rubbish.

Just because I said I had a stroke doesn't necessarily mean I have crippling brain damage, I don't use either.

I don't know about others, but reading your review was pretty interesting - you have a really good range of vocabulary.

asking because I am impressed by our straightforwardness as well as agree with u, what recommendations do u have. i have read most if not all good books so would be interested in finding some hidden gems.

I'm in the same boat, it really depends on how low your standards are. If you want some actually decent CN/KR novels I recommend going to Novel Updates and then looking for something there. Stuff like Reverend Insanity, The Grand Master Strategist and Lord of Mysteries are incredibly rare, I don't think I have anything to recommend of that level period. As for other "good" novels I don't think I have anything to recommend that you haven't read or can't easily find on Novel Updates. If you're into some barely decent novels I do have some, they aren't good but they're good enough to kill time. Someone else asked me for some recommendations not too long ago so I'll just copy and paste a previous comment of mine. You'll have to turn your brain off for these and there's a good chance that you've read a majority of these so I can't really promise much, I haven't had much time to read novels recently. Here's the comment: Here's a few that are more or less in the same vein. Do note however that the quality of my recommendations vary, some might be better/worse than the others by a fair bit. I'ma just drop a bunch, this isn't everything but I think that any more would be overkill (as if this isn't already). Permanent Martial Arts, Master Of Martial Arts Has An Advanced Optical Brain, I Will Transmigrate In 10 Days; Fortunately I Have A Cultivation Emulator, Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body, Urban Martial Arts System, I Have 10 Training Avatars, God-Like Extraction, The Great Genetic Era, I Have A Martial Arts Panel, I Cultivate Passively, Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills, 10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start, I Just Won't Play By The Book, Global Survival: 100 Times Cultivation Speed From The Start, Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent God-Tier Extraction.

wow you’r the most violent user i ever met, tone it down. Webnovel has long failed to make many good original trial read novels. when trail read first came , back in my day we used to be happy every week for the new novels, at least 70% of them were good and not copies since this was before trial read has become copy pasted novels . if you want recommendations from the old trial read i can give if i find them.
Rhongomynaid:Just because I said I had a stroke doesn't necessarily mean I have crippling brain damage, I don't use either.
Ok Adolf, I'll try to tone it down. If you do have some recommendations from old trial reads though, I'd appreciate it if you could share them with me.

Random guy interjecting with some suggestions. It isn't selected, nor is it even translated, but Deep Sea Embers(深海余烬) is really good so far. The gist is some random dude gets turned into a captain of a pirate ghost ship for basically no reason. It's an odd and interesting steampunk world where the sun is fake and the sea, or rather the "warp," corrupts. It's got about 78 chapters, and you can check it out on mtlnovel or the actual raw, assuming you're willing to read a mtl. Night's Nomenclature is also really good. Basically there's a kid who's got insanely good memory and gets chosen(among many other people) to travel into a sort of game world. There is an odd part at about chapter 150-200(It's been a while) where there's suddenly a couple of girls' that want to smash, but it doesn't seem to be a problem judging by reviews. It's on novelupdates, 111 chapters translated or so. If you're not already aware, RoyalRoad has plenty of great novels. Only thing is that, at least imo, they're a bit draining to read. Uh, I could also drop plenty of raw/mtl only novels should you want it.

I think you and I have different rating systems. Since the lowest possible rating is 0 and the highest is 5 then a rating of 2 should be somewhat below average or sub-standard. A rating of 1 then should be moderately defective and 0 actively offensive. Your review pretty much boils down to "it's boring." And, to be fair: it is. But, the same is true of the vast majority of the content in this genre (and on this website). As far as defects go, that's pretty mild. I've seen books on this website that can't figure out the gender of characters, can't count, and have so many grammar issues that no one could figure out what was meant. And that is in addition to being boring and cliché. Those should be rated as 1. To get below that it would need to be disgusting or offensive in some way. Zero means something you can't unread but wish you could. My point is a rating of 0.5/5 literally means "the author can't do much worse," but I promise: books can be so much worse than "boring".
This is less than boring. If you were to pay closer attention to my review, you'll see that my main gripe with this novel is the utter lack of originality, so much so that the entire novel just comes off as worthless. I don't mind unambitious novels but this is almost parody, there's absolutely nothing of value to be found here. I'm 100000% sure that a hack wrote this because it's that obvious. No humour, no intensity, no story, no novelty, worthless characters, worthless world building, worthless power systems and (arguably) no enjoyability. There's nothing. No matter what, you can't deny that this novel cannot be taken seriously, even by Webnovel standards this is contemptible at best. Nothing about this is even remotely charming, engaging, interesting or even slightly impressive, the average hack writer could do better. It's very obvious that this author here is a hack themselves except they just so happen to be an extra rubbish one. So I must once again emphasise that this isn't just "boring", it's execrable rubbish completely void of any value whatsoever written by some Chinese hack whose only motive here is to pay rent and it's painfully obvious. As far as I'm concerned a 0 is as bad as it gets and a 5 is as good as it gets (by Webnovel standards of course, even if I give something a 5 here that's only relative to everything else on here, it doesn't really mean I necessarily care for it all that much). I gave this a 0.5 because this novel executed its regurgitated, uninspired "ideas" to a fairly satisfactory extent but at the end of the day, skillfully smeared excrement is still excrement.

Oh and to add on to this (i kinda just did one big rant and forgot about addressing everything), novels with grammatical errors etc don't count, I expect every novel to be coherent and if they aren't thats a fat 0, you shouldn't have to say "well at least I can make sense of it" every time you come across a bad novel, have some standards. It is a little funny how you (and many others including myself previously) have been beaten down and conditioned by Webnovel to be grateful for basic legibility. This novel is kinda special not because it has clichès but because it consists of nothing but insipid clichès which is very, very unusual, the fact that this is popular in China is genuinely concerning. Neat comment though, I see where you're coming from.
