The afterlife isn't always what you think…
A loving father of three children, Albert lived a life of few regrets. He served his country far from home. He outlived his soulmate. He died alone.
However, his assumptions about a peaceful eternity, reunited with his wife, are thrown out the window when a meddling god digs his fingers into Albert’s afterlife.
The positive? He will have a chance to see his wife again.
The negative? He has to survive the dangers of the legendary World Tree for the next three hundred years. He’s been reincarnated into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, sassy ten-year-old elves, and untold hidden dangers. It won’t be easy, but if life has taught Albert anything it’s this: If something is worth having, it's worth fighting for. And he intends to fight.

The first 14% of the story is a typical Re:Monster story with the main character (MC) reincarnated as a snake. He kills, eats, and evolves, and repeats the cycle. Not much else to it. And frankly a little tedious if you’ve read this kind of story before.
But after the 14% mark, the story becomes much much more interesting as the MC finally meets someone that he can talk to and there's some dialogue with someone besides himself. From then on there’s really good adventuring as the MC explores new worlds, interacts with people, and of course kills the heck out of some monsters so he can evolve into his next form. The evolution options are presented as notifications with specific requirements like killing 1000 water element creatures, or living for 100 years, or eating 100 lbs of stone or dirt. Another aspect of the story that was a draw was the murder hobo MC. Well, he’s not really a murder hobo, killing indescrimently, but he does kill a lot to further his goals, evolve, or just to get revenge against people that hurt him or ones he comes to care about. It’s a faithful representation of what it would be like to become a monster with only the memory of your former humanity guiding you.
Overall, a really good story once you get past the 14% mark.
