ROACH- rising pestilence

Roach- rising pestilence is a solid novel, that releases frequently, and has an interesting story about a cockroach in a fantasy setting.

Don Wihongi does a great job editing; is willing to listen to comments and critiques about his work. The story is very intriguing and does a great job at establishing a consistent flow of revealing information about the world and the characters that inhabit it.

I personally think this novel is great and the way it's written just leaves you wanting more.

Don Wihongi good shit my man! Keep up the great work!

A story worth reading, The grammar at the start can put you off, but once you get past that the story becomes much better.

The style that the story is written in is not my favorite, but we all have our prefreneces, But since i like the Story so much i can look past that.

Almost all the characters in this are likeable, My top two are Dewy and Dwayne, The way they are written, the personailites and everything else makes up a Good story.

Considering everything that the Author put into this, The detail, the Mystery, the Characters, and the fact that this is the Authors first story....

Gotta give this Piece of art a 4.5.

Hope to see more, Good luck.

Story: 5/5. System-Based Monster LITRPG Fantasy. Unique with dual POVs. It sort of reminds me of Dakota Krout’s Divine Dungeon series with a non-human POV and human POV. I’d give it a 5 for originality. The nice thing is there no immediate drowning in exposition, the story gradually unfolds naturally through the viewpoint of the character.
 
Style: 4.5/5. Written in third-person present-tense with multiple perspectives. There is a narrator's POV which is more omniscient manner while the other two character POVs are more limited. At first, I thought this would be an issue because many authors I came across had issues juggling multiple POVs. Thankfully, this author is not among them and the story weaves around the three naturally. Only two minor issues was the use onomatopoeia (which is a personal take), and instances where it seems telling would do better than showing.

Grammar: 4.5/5. Some minor mistakes but nothing that makes the fiction illegible. I’d rate this in the upper quartile of RR fics which nets it a 4.5.

Character 5/5. Unique characterization from a cockroach who is struggling to survive and begins to quite literally climb and eat his way up the foodchain. A bit like Super Minion, except the cockroach is more inclined toward growth and gaining strength versus the more exploratory mind-set of the Super Minion. There were also some very humanizing instances with Lescar in the later chapters which I found to add dimensions to the character. 

Don Wihongi has crafted an interesting tale here.

The system our MC is reborn with is pretty bare-bones with few descriptions and little explanation for most of its facets.

Our MC grows fairly quickly, through a process of small time-skips, into something vastly more powerful than its surroundings (a vast sewer system). 

Enter humans and adventures. Who are proportionally more powerful than our MC and quickly assert their dominance.

From there the story changes rapidly and becomes more of a team-building exercise rather than just developing our MC.

The entire story is well written and entertaining, although it may not be everyone's taste.

I personally liked the beginning and hope we return to that style again soon.

Thanks, Don for the tale!

I'm not up to date but I'm enjoying this story so far! Good concept, it's a little slow at the start but it picks up. My only other qualms is the spelling, grammar and cohesion which other reviewers have mentioned, thankfully its pretty minor and doesn't really take away from the reading experience. Other than that interesting characters and well written plot.

Mr. Cockroach is awesome and badass. I hope he will become a cockroach king and rule the entire fantasy world.

Please keep up the good work.

For all who want to try this out, fair warning, the earlier chapters are a bit rough in terms of grammar. Starting out, the grammar is somewhere in th 3 star range, as of chapter 20 it improves to about 4 stars.

The style is interesting and the story is fine, but the characters, especially the main character, aren't fully fleshed out yet.

All in all, a decent start, with a writer who is rapidly improving as the story goes on.

A very fun story with a promising future (and frequent uploads!!!). The grammar could definitely use an editor, but it is rarely immersion-breaking. The characters do fall somewhat flat occasionally, but that can also often be attributed to the grammatical and syntactical errors. All in all, a job well done.

I can't give you the perfect score for the grammar because I see some mistakes.
