Interesting concept, looking forward to seeing where this goes.

“I’m so hungry I could eat a horse”

Glad to have you along for the ride!

"Pfft, yeah right, what am I going to do against a bear or something?"

"What am I gonna fight? the sun?"

He's gonna have to eat changeling or some morphing animal flesh at some point right? Cause there's gonna be a point where his true form is gonna look biblically accurate

12195284
Man, I wish I could tell you what I'm cooking up. Though trust me, we will see some changelings later, his morphic abilities will grow one way or another.

I hope we get more bug mutations, bugs would be scary as hell if they were even the size if a dog, much less as big as a human

12195407
We're going to be seeing a lot more abilities gained in the future, and I got some big reveals set up in my docs for how his "power" evolves over time. More bugs for sure, can't have an entomologist without bugs.

I can already tell I love this. Was the power inspired by Prototype by chance? That would be a fun development. If not, I still recommend checking it out for some ideas.

12195662
it personally remind me of a manhwa called I Get Stronger The More I Eat

12195662
Yeah it was inspired by games like prototype, and a few other games, mangas and movies. So the development of the power is going to take some interesting routes for sure.


Next chapter spoiler.
In the next chapter he does get a minor new ability.

12195690
hehe yeah! I know the one you're talking about. I haven't read it, but maybe I should give it a go.

This, is good. More please

12196261
Your wish is my command. The next chapter releases tomorrow! Happy to hear you're enjoying it :)

Absolutely lovin' this so far!
Hopefully he'll eat something that'll help control his inevitably grotesque future mutations soon! But not too soon, gotta leave a little room for angst :raritywink:

12196300
Yeahhhhh! Can't have things be too too easy.

New book added to the list, I am now gonna check on this daily

Very intriguing start and excellent writing, I can't wait for more.

Good reading.
I made an account to say that I did not expect for it to be so good, I was told to believe fanfiction was another sort of joke. Guess it was a prejudice on their and my part.
I hope we will see this story to the end, safe and sound

Excellent first couple chapters. Feel like this could have a real The Witcher atmosphere.

Already a fantastically unique start to an isekai fic. I knew this would be something different in a well worn genre from the moment i saw the description, but the naked lunch-esque setup really works wonders for tonesetting.

12196320
You can expect 2 chapters a week! Maybe three if I'm adventurous or bored out of my gourd.

12196378
Thanks! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.

12196481
Wow, I'm really without words. Seriously dang, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. The story is gonna be a long one for sure!

12196519
Hehe yeah, funnily enough I'm actually going to be watching the Witcher series today and replaying prototype 2 to get a feel for some ideas down the line.

12196586
Thanks! I always appreciate perspective. The next chapter is pretty filler compared to these two, but it contains a lot of foundational worldbuilding. Whenever it releases today, I'd always love to hear your thoughts!

Definitely a fun read, and a great idea setting this in the pre-Equestria age. Can't wait to see if other important characters of that time make an appearance.

Is there any plans for him to be honest about his problematic changes to himself and ask for help from those around him?

12196745
I'm excited to get to the familiar characters from the series for sure, currently going over some of the comics to get a better characterization of some of them.

12196749
There are indeed plans for the future involving this very subject!

12196824
This was just a small revelation, too. Wait till his power really starts evolving.

Maybe it won't just be creatures he can take abilities from.

Damn, I already finished the newest chapter. Gotta wait I guess... And while it was a more casual chapter, I enjoyed it nonetheless. Keep up the good work.

12196835
Nice! Happy to hear you enjoyed it. 2-3 chapters will be released each week going forward, all typically around the 7k word mark.

Is a water bear considered a bug? Imagine if he ate one of them and it registered

12196935

Right now, his ability is fairly limited, in both what he eats and how it affects him. Later this will change, but imagining him with the abilities of a water bear instills the fear of god in me.

HEHEHEHEHUEHFWIEHFUFIHIEAWOFHEWUIHWAEIUFDNSIJAFNEAWIUNHFIUFNIJNDSKJF (joy and whimsy)
:yay: I LIKE THIS STORY

There are several thoughts after the first chapter, please do not take it as criticism.
The presentation seems to me to be overcomplicated, too vague here and there too. Damn mystery bug-thing had something to do with Harmony? - wouldn't want to believe that she can be so cold and indifferent to other people's lives...
It is also perplexing that for some reason they chose not a local resident who was vitally interested in success, but some random dude from another world. L - logic
It's funny how they grabbed him and shoved him into another world without explaining anything, expecting something other than failure too.

12197253
I'm actually really happy to hear your thoughts, especially because they seem to be in line with what I wanted the 'bug' encounter to provoke. Also, if you did have criticism, I'm always happy to listen. It helps me improve my writing!

So random behind the scenes here:
When designing the encounter for that particular thing, without giving spoilers, I think it was the hardest thing I've written so far for this story just because of what it is. Primarily because I had no idea how things like it would manifest or, god forbid, interact with a human or a pony. As the story goes we will learn more about the bug & I might come back and rewrite the scenes to better fit the characterization.

Esta increíble, me pregunto como seria si el protagonista comiera un camarón pistola o una anguila eléctrica las habilidades serian sorprendentes o tal vez un pulpo para camuflaje o un delfín para mejorar su capacidad cerebral

12197675

Heck yeah! The 'evolution' tree I have for this power is kind of absurd, especially when you start throwing magic into the mix. That opened up like 30 other branches. I didn't even think about electric eels, that's definitely a good one for sure.

12197253
Perhaps a threat? A monster to defeat? I wouldn't find it strange, since the tone Armonia used suggests she wants to maintain control over everything, rather than the balance that should exist.

It could also be that, given all the discord among the inhabitants under her command, she decides to take an aggressive stance and take a firm stance, as a military leader would in a city where riots occur frequently.

Regarding her appearance... is there anything to avoid overlooking the protagonist from the start? No idea.
