God this is lame, It's a lazy spin on the main character gets reborn as a monster genre without any of the time spent on world building or fleshing out the system every character uses.
Everything has stats but massively simplified in that it only shows level, HP, MP, skill, and rank. Levels seemingly don't matter beyond bigger number = better, hp and mp are similar, rank is completely arbitrary and doesn't mean anything, and skills are completely static without levels or grades or even explanations.
It's all thrown together so carelessly because it's just copying the already successful contemporaries, the characters themselves are just templates.
You've got the wimpy main character who refuses to kill people even though he's constantly being shit on, the annoying little sister who treats the mc like a bug, but she's secretly worried about him so it's "cute" and that somehow makes it okay, the common party members that betray people at the drop of a hat for basically no reason, the pure damsel in distress who always makes things worse, the evil for evil's sake bad guys, it's got it all.
Back to stats, the characters supposedly get stronger with every level, but the only stats that we see increase are HP, and MP, if you're going to go the rpg route with levels and everything why would you stop there? Some characters can seemingly use advanced versions of their skill like ice bolt -> ice lance, or sword beam into sword cross, but it's not explained how they can do this and it's never shown in their status board.
Anyway, if you're going to give this a read, don't expect it to respect your time, because it's just a shitty knock off at the end of the day.

sigh Alright so, I hate the MC, this work is just better suited as a Novel not in this format. I mean it works but it's just a painful read when the whole goal is to become something human looking from the undead.... Also I'm offended by the bugbear appearance, but that's the DnD player in me that hates changes.
But yeah I hate the MC because of that goal, his general personality, and the fact that literally everyone writes off how valuable a second life could be (heck it might have only been tainted and made him undead because of the dungeon)
In closing, when I see something that showcases Monster MCs, I would hope the Monster part was the focal point but here it just seems like a backstory and condition..... I just dislike the trying to hide his existence as a monster by acting like a sus human. You're a monster for crying out loud, act like one, become the boss of the dungeon to get the boost then move to others to gain further power

I feel pretty sad that this was axed... I like the idea of a human turning into a monster but aiming to remain human-like without losing the original goal which was to be a hero

Dropped at Chapter 39—however, I always appreciate the translators that take time out of their days to make this readable for us. Thank you all for your hard work.
I actually came into this thinking it was a different, similar manga—Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha (which also isn't great, but we won't get into that here). And honestly I was shocked at how similar the two were, seeing as I didn't even realize they weren't the same thing until like, Chapter 15. That alone should be a testament on how cookie-cutter boring this one is. But that's not even my main problem with it, my main issue...
...is that it doesn't have a single core focus.
You'd hope that the progress of our MC's monster evolution would be the core focus, but no it seems like it's only used to stretch the plot out—there were numerous points where I assumed he would level up, only for him to be short 3 levels or something, and so a haphazard battle that takes up three chapters is thrown in.
So then you'd think it would be character development. Odd for this genre, but sure, I can see how it could be done well. But no again—the MC is framed as an edge-lord lone wolf but is an actual idiot and a loser. At no point was I rooting for this guy, and that sucks because obviously I want to root for the MC. The little sister is your typical, "I treat you like shit because I love you" trope that bombs everything it touches, then you've got your token anime Betrayal Backstory™ that adds literally nothing, you've got your air-headed love interest that only exists to be protected by the MC, and finally your bad guys that are bad because they're bad guys. And while we're on this, I hate that the only backstory we got was for the LEADER OF THE ACTUAL EVIL GANG. And they placed that shit right in the middle of the fight, presumably so that they could show the "Look and what happened to his Mom and Dad" illusion. sigh
So then what? Is the world the focus? Again, we're getting further and further from the norm, but a lot of fantasy stories have a rich world so I can see how it could be done well. BUT AGAIN, NOPE. All I know about this world is that there are dungeons, and occasionally monsters spill out... Other than that, it differs in no fundamental way from other fantasy manga. And even then, dungeons and monsters are not new concepts. It's a boring, flat world with nothing making it stand out.
So what's the core focus then? I genuinely have no idea. For the MC to become human again? Well no, since he has no problem throwing that goal away in the heat of the moment. And aside from "evolving" he does nothing else to try and aid himself in this goal.
In summary, 2/10—don't bother reading, it doesn't respect your time or your intelligence, and clearly just takes from already successful fantasy-evolution stories to sell copies.

Idk why people are so critical bc I came into this not expecting the greatest read in the world, but I left pretty satisfied anyway. Seeing the mc evolve was cool, and I like the fact that one of his original teammates was actually regretful and impacted by his decision to ditch the mc even if it was short-lived. Also, the little bit of lore that the main antagonist of this series might be some ancient monster is something to look forward to if I ever stumble upon this series again.
