Recommendations A power collect-a-thon for MC.

[NotaNuffian]

For reference, 寂静杀戮 (no TL to Eng) and Tribulation of Myriad Races are an example.

Both of them involved having the knowledge to extract powers from beings such as humans and animals.

For 寂静杀戮, the power harvesting is done by digging up tumors/ life nodes from others that have these and implanting onto oneself. The reason why is because due to devolution of the human body, the majority folks has already lost most, if not all of these life nodes that can grant superpower. Also, these life nodes can align themselves with one another to form into a virtuous cycle that grant the user more power.

For Tribulation of Myriad Races, MC can gain power by taking blood from other races and use their cultivation techniques to refine his human body. The more races he collects, the more "refined" he gets. This ultimately resulted in him unlocking all 360 body acupoints and all 360 soul acupoints of the modern human body (the old "pure" human has 720 body acupoints with no soul acupoints), something that has never been done since the fall of the human empire.

I am looking for something similar... not unsimilar to Re:Monster and I get Stronger the More I Eat but more "academic" when it comes to tearing victims apart for power.

"Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy" has the condition that the main character must win a duel against the opponent to acquire an ability.
Of course, the next question is "What qualifies as a duel?," which turns out to be quite a lot...

That is the closest I can think of.

Not really gonna recommend this because it's generic as fuck and the abilities he grinded to get the scam runes completely disintegrated my sense of disbelief because of how easy it is to get.

Don't know if any of those would suit your tastes, or not.
Sorry if they don't.

Wow.

I just found out how much from the list you provided that I had read them.

But the only ones that stayed in my goldfish brain is just my four.

Also, Reincarnator is my first fav.

NU reposting the already finished work feels odd though. I know it got taken down, but still it is weird.

I wouldn't exactly recommend it, but you've got

Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster’s Power

on RR. It's strangely addictive for a trash novel.

I may edit this comment with my review on RR, or not.

Edit: here it is

"Review title: Guilty pleasure

OK, first of all, I've got to say it: this novel is objectively awful, and I love it. The plot is simplistic, the universe is... surprisingly OK, the characters are quick-brushed and quite flat, the fight scenes drag on for dozens of chapters and it's full of grammatical and spelling errors.

Why do I still keep on reading it? I don't know, all I know is that I keep coming back to it. I'm honestly split between literary masochism, the fascination you have when you watch a train wreck and a dubious but genuine glee at the simple plot and detailed action.

Yes, it feels written as a side project by a teenager whose only sources of media are Dragon Ball Z and LitRPGs. And I fucking love it. Don't ask me why, I really don't know. As the title of my review says, it's a guilty pleasure.

Binge-reading drinking game:



(warning, also a binge-drinking reading game)



- everytime MC smirks, take a sip



- everytime another character smirks, take 2 sips



- everytime something along the lines of "and now the real battle begins" gets written, empty your glass.



- refill and empty again if it's literally "and now the real battle begins"



- every typo that you spot, take a sip



- if it's another word entirely instead of the one the author meant, empty your glass



- anytime the MC gains a skill, empty your glass



- take a sip every 10 levels, empty your glass every 100 levels



- take a sip everytime MC mentions his need to hide his abilities



- empty your glass everytime he reveals his abilities to someone



- take 2 sips everytime MC conspicuously uses his abilities



- empty your glass after any chapter where MC has killed several people
