How’s the manga doing? I stopped waiting for it to update when the pirates try and take over the ship he clears out after his 2nd (or 3rd?) evolution, right before he gets the mind parasite power.
With the Novel I [spoiler]made it all the way to the part where he allies with another female player who is a legendary Beastman, a humanoid gryphon, to kill another player responsible for murdering her mate and kidnapping his Blob friend[/spoiler]
It is quite a fun creature design, blending the Thing, Xenomorphs and Zerg/Tyranids into a super predator utterly incapable of cooperation (until now) is not a bad premise for a Monster Isekai.

Its supposed to be in chapter 100, but in reality is probably just 50 chapters in because for some retarded reason half the chapters are repeated for some reason, I guess the translator had a massive aneurysm while uploading and none the of the reading sites gave a single fuck to fix it.
But anyways, it just finished the the police raid and mind controlling the cop

Ok. Let’s see what I remember.
So, after he beats the pirates he gets the Mind Parasite power and goes to a nearby Human Megacorp Union Planet (there’s many factions, since it based on one those weird pseudo-MMOs, very asymmetrical, from fully RTS Zerg-like Alien Queen race, to solo Thing-like, to generic Ship Captain with full Player crew doing smuggling). There’s politicking, a Noble General from Earth is visiting and he’s got beef with the Planet Defense Commander, but the PD Commander is trying to smooth it over with a parade, when the Aggressive Space Morph makes planet fall and gets into the sewers. He wants to evolve, so he makes for the Red Light District.
He is feeding on the gangs and the hookers and the heat keeps building up, till the police do a raid. He gets the corrupt cop and figures out the situation on the planet.
He has the cop do false leads and give shitty directions, leading to more deaths, till the PD gets involved.
They bring mechs and deathrow prisoners into the sewers to hunt him. They die.
The Noble gets involved. He has a fancy mech. He dies. ASH evolves. The Blob is also of course present at all times. She is steadily growing and remembering who she is. ASH suspends she is more than just a giant water amoeba with telepathy, rather, she’s a big dick Boss monster, a Leviathan, a many eyed slime that can get as big as a planet. The Blob was a Ugly Duckling situation, Leviathans leave their young to be raised by Giant Amoebas.
They leave the planet on a good spaceship. They get attacked by Metal Gremlins, a playable race of vacuum-proof, metal eating nomads. They beat them, but must land on a planetoid.
Cont.
>>
>>9223427
There is conflict between some Space Elves and a Space Dragon (space dragons function like Mind Flayer Dragons, powerful psychics, eat brains). ASH eats everyone. A Green Space Dragon Hatchling survives. It bonds to ASH, as it consumed Space Dragon and now is part Space Dragon (since it is the Thing). The Blob is happy to be a Big Sis/Mother again.
They infest the Space Elf spaceship and make it to a jungle planet.
At the same time, a Cabal of powerful transcendent Players, which have also reincarnated, slowly gather the necessary information to piece together the fact that an ASH Player has been Reincarnated (since, canonically, there is only one egg that hatches from the batch found in the abandoned temple, Alien style, where it differs is that Aggressive Space Morphs aren’t eusocial and eat the remaining eggs, so even if there were multiple ASHes in the MMO, they all spawn far apart), which they immediately suspect is the Pro ASH player that everyone hates (it is). A Player who owns the Jungle planet remarks some of his henchmen are dying and reporting seeing a monster, as said henchmen are supposed to be escorting a Legendary Evolution Rank Player prisoner for her execution, this is not good. He resolves to bring the Cabal ASH’s head.
ASH wins, because they could not conceive that he would use tactics impossible for a Space Morph: the power of friendship. ASH evolves into a infamous form, highly divisive between fans, a Hydralisk crossed with a Centipede.
Alas, the Blob gets kidnapped by Leviathan worshipping Fish People, on the other side of the Jungle planet. The Fish People (begrudgingly, they are racist) work alongside unscrupulous human scientists and they want to experiment on The Blob.
They bust the Blob out, but the underwater facility starts to flood. Turns out, the Blob’s cries for help were sensed by an adult Leviathan.
I stopped reading after that. I still have 300+ chapters and that’s only the translated ones.
>>
>>9223440
Damn that's a lot, maybe I will read it after all. There is no way the manga will get all that in at least a decade.
The only thing that puts me off a little is that is basically Overlord, but in space.
It just keeps going and going with no apparent end while dick sucking the MC
>>
>>9223472
Well no, there is kinda of an end: Biological Ascension.
Even Dragon Ball had a final form for the Ultimate Organism: Perfect Cell.
The Aggressive Space Morph has such a form, it is presumably the Ascendants themselves who build the black temples (like the Space Jockey being the final form of the Alien, which in a way, turned out to be true).
They do somewhat ruin it with a Constellation “Prestige System” that is very Chinese, but there is an ending. That I can confirm. Unlike Overlord, no matter how many Boss Monsters the Amorph Pro recruits, he is still a solo player, he is still the Thing. He eats and evolves, until he is perfect.
And even if the ending isn’t the consequences of Ascension, do you want to miss out on hot monster romance between The Thing and The Blob? With adopted son Dragon and really sad, really lonely, really scared Gryphon lady?

All internet artists have something wrong with their brains which lets them draw but also makes them constantly unstable. Always save any drawings you like because you never know when one day the artist will have a retard attack and nuke their entire gallery of online art because of some extremely arbitrary reason only they care about or because they got a single response saying they're a poopy head in a sea of thousands of positive responses.

Really?
Can you name any reasons why female alien would like to fuck a human man? Or even be remotely attracted to one?
>>
That's like a delusionally anthropocentric question. We already know from real life experience that females of one species have no problem having sex with males of another species. Arbitrarily distinguishing human and non-human females or males to assume that pairings could only occur one way indicates some kind of dogma related to human speciality in the cosmos. Every other sentient species would be capable of having the same perspectives related to interspecies pairings, and it would be ridiculous to claim that their mentality would automatically be the convenient inverse of yours to complement yours.

And it's funny you speak of athropocentrism when human male x female alien is epitome of that sort of thinking.
Being able to have sex with humans in first place implies that certain dynamics are in play, regardless of coping. So then again, why would alien women even look at human male again? In all honesty, I'd say that lesbian sex between alien women and human women would be more common than human men seeing any action.

You're just fantasizing things that are purely convenient to your fetish and deciding to shit up the thread with it.

>Honestly, you are still kind of right. Human women aren't that interesting, so they'd have to work hard to initiate the interspecies breeding they desire

Predator but instead of a male alien hunting human men for sport its a human woman going full BPD demon on a bunch of alien women because they are hogging the supply of human men. More of a psychological thriller than a action/horror.

I know that
>projecting
is a meme, but it honestly seems like you're projecting both your distaste for human men and your attraction towards human women onto xenos and then insisting on that being fact.

It's inevitable that aliens are out there, but all the AI shit makes me realize that the solution to the Fermi paradox is just because it's so much easier to make your own fantasy world that's indistinguishable from the real one. Why bother searching the stars as you contend with relativity when you can just make your perfect simulated universe where aliens are everywhere and FTL actually exists. It's sad, but maybe if I live to see it, even the knowledge that it's fake will fade away and I'll just embrace it. I mean, who's to say that any of this is truly real to begin with.
Sorry, just feeling existential

I like this critter. I have another image of it I cannot find for fuck, but I need to use it as a basis for something in my universe.
Maybe a feral beast people like to fuck because despite that it can't communicate for shit it keeps dragging dudes off and furiously humping them into a daze.
