Honestly, the only bad thing I see in this novel are two things: 1) Few chapters and a low publication rate 2) Very Short Chapters I like the fact that the story explains the origin of the different classes like Pugilista, Mage and Esper. The character is weak but has the potential to become very strong in the future. The protagonist is intelligent and strives to improve even when he is weaker than all, I am dying of curiosity to see how his power will develop, will he be able to obtain other types of parasites? Get host power from your parasites? create parasites with different abilities? I'm even curious about the origins of the protagonist, will he be the descendant of some hero? Is its power related to its origins? or is he just any guy? I look forward to the next chapter, keep it up, author, I really like your story, don't let it fall :D! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

A very interesting idea and a pretty solid story so far I personnaly like the slower developing story but some people do complain about it reguardless it is slower so keep that in mind before you pick it up The parasites are interesting and i could really see them becoming a unique dynamic not only in the way they affect the mcs power but in how they interact together as symbiotic allies. Slower release rate and unstable releases is a bit sad mostly because the stories good and its a pain to keep dipping in and out of it randomly

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.

Definitely a great read, had some unique aspects, Right now it updates a lil slowly so it may just sit in your library but also worth a good binge when you need a quick one

I've read 91 chapters. Love the idea. Hate the execution and pace. The development is sooo ssllooowww, and the horrible update schedule just makes it worse. I don't expect him to be a god among men by now, but a system should provide more growth at a faster rate. After nearly 100 chapters, Jay still seems weak. When compared to other similar novels, the progress is much more tangible in every other novel I've seen. He has basically only used his system powers THREE times in 91 chapters! Also, the powers he does obtain with the system seem to grow at the normal rate of needing YEARS of honing. Then there is the issue of making small advances seem huge. Jay can now mildly sense what his parasites feel which gives him a low-powered danger warning sense and the ability to sense the strength of opponents. He can also slightly buff or very mildly influence someone infected with his parasites. He basically has 3 very normal protagonist skills. The author acts like these are insane gains in ability when they're really bland. In 91 chapters, he should have used his system multiple times, should have several skills, and should have tangible growth. The author may as well have left the system and parasites out at this rate, and just made the novel about a guy with 3 normal abilities instead of the usual one per person.
