And with it, a Legendary Devourer. But what the heck is a Devourer, and why does this power feel so… ravenous? It makes her brother smell less like family and more like a tasty meal?

This was outstanding!
Alex is such a great MC. She's inexperienced and clearly the doted upon youngest sister/daughter.
She's part of a group who crashlands on a planet that works like an RPG. Classes and professions can be gained. It does appear to depend on you undertaking the right activity for you specifically. So anyone could hunt, but not everyone would gain the hunter class for example.
We are clued in early that something isn't quite right with Alex though. She's the last one to gain a class. She's ALWAYS hungry. She keeps gaining skills in various different things before she even gets her class.
When she finally gains her class, its very much an oh no moment. You can just see that this is going to be incredibly hard for her going forwards despite how powerful it makes her.
I also don't think she clocked just how many stat points she's gaining compared to everyone else, as this doesn't appear to be something you can see atm when casting insight. I'm very interested to see just how overpowered she is compared to others in the next book (I Hope).
There appears to be some political shenanigans going on with one man determined to hold power maybe. There also appears to be something that kicks it at level 20, possibly a quest that takes them away from their safe zone?
I'm so eager to get to book 2.

Overall, it was enjoyable. The setting was fresh, but there is a level of sameness to the enemies that makes me wish the MC escapes the planet sooner than later. Only so much you can do with dinosaurs.
The middle had a stretch that dragged on for too long, and I am hoping this series isn't just fight after fight.
A bit disappointing to not see much of a structure to the book, it is definitely a web novel as it doesn't really resolve anything before it's over. The small attempts at world building don't really go anywhere and the first hints of the outside world don't inspire much.
Will read the next in the hopes it expands its scope a bit and adds some variety.

got to 8% in. it is supposed to be a stand alone story, but it just felt like I came in at book 2. Ok, great, lets skip all that boring world building crap, but the story just wasn't interesting enough to continue. I don't normally dnf this early, but I don't want to continue so...

running on concussions
Cast away on a distant planet, the last person to get fully integrated into the System awakens and hits the ground running.
At first I thought Alex was a young teen, but turned out she is almost 21 and sheltered.

a good surprise.
A different take on the LitRPG genre. Good pace, writing not bad, typos minimal if any, world view is different and exciting. I’m definitely reading the next one. I’m not fussed with statistics and they were minimal. Good job.

Nonstop progression and grit
They story and character stands way above without having to resort to romance or comedic relief. Absolute gem of a survival LitRPG
