A group of novice adventurers ventures into an ancient tomb, hoping to unearth treasure. Instead, they discover something unexpected and invaluable: an egg. This egg contains a species that has existed since the dawn of life, a species long thought extinct, known only through tales, songs, and legends. This creature possesses the potential to become more powerful than any other.
The adventurers' actions in opening the tomb inadvertently release this creature into their world. The protagonist, who in a past life was powerless and abused, is reborn as this formidable being. Driven by immense hunger, the protagonist now has the opportunity to achieve unparalleled power.
This is an Isekai story with LitRPG elements, featuring an ability-stealing, cunning, and evolving protagonist. The protagonist is genderless, non-humanoid, and often hated, yet possesses overwhelming power. This character is also selfish and has been reincarnated as a monster in another world.
The author notes a tendency to depict characters reacting with fear, often to the point of physical distress, when confronted with terrifying sights. The novel notably lacks positive male characters, while female characters, even those who might be considered anti-heroes, are not portrayed as explicitly bad.
Some readers have observed that the narrative dedicates significant portions to minor secondary characters who appear to have little relevance to the main plot, with the protagonist's actions, such as hunting, sometimes relegated to very brief chapters. There's a debate among readers about whether the protagonist should be considered neutral, good, or evil.
Regarding the protagonist's inability to consume humans due to the risk of developing a conscience, some readers argue this point feels forced. They suggest that given the protagonist's past lives – one marked by hunger and violence – consuming humans, particularly adults, should instead amplify traits like greed, anger, and lust, rather than fostering a conscience, as humans are seen as bundles of mistakes and sin. Conversely, others argue that consciousness and the capacity for thought are fundamental human characteristics, and while these can lead to intelligence, they also bring negative traits like greed. Therefore, the author's concept isn't entirely without merit, though the 'conscience' aspect specifically feels somewhat contrived.
Another point of contention revolves around powerful, immortal beings in this world who inexplicably sacrifice their power and immortality to procreate, despite the difficulty of reproduction for their kind. This decision is viewed by some as illogical, leading them to abandon the story early on. However, an alternative perspective suggests that these beings might be driven by extreme boredom after eons of existence at the apex, or are projecting their unfulfilled ambitions onto their offspring, hoping their progeny will achieve what they could not.
The protagonist's character development has been described as minimal, with the character quickly adapting to their new body and the species' psychology, showing little regard for anything outside themselves. While it's established that this species is the progenitor of all life, some readers desire to see the protagonist's journey towards indifference rather than an immediate manifestation of it, feeling that such a story needs to explore this transformation to remain engaging.
The novel is compared to "Chrysalis," though some find "Devourer" less refined. Unlike Anthony in "Chrysalis," who strives to maintain relationships with humans, the protagonist in "Devourer" is more apathetic, only forced to care about situations due to external pressures. The protagonist's past life, while involving the loss of parents, is not depicted as personally as traumatic as Anthony's, who experienced torture and starvation.
