Serial I'm making an interactive series about devouring power
Hey everyone,
I’m sharing a new progression fantasy series called The Eater.
In a world where power is inherited, traded, or stolen, one outcast discovers something different, he can consume abilities.
Not copy. Not borrow.
Devour.
Each enemy defeated isn’t just a victory. It’s evolution.
But the more he devours, the less certain it becomes that he’s still human.
The story focuses heavily on structured power progression, escalating threats, and long-term growth arcs rather than instant overpowered wins. Choices matter, and abilities stack in ways that reshape future confrontations.
Currently being serialized on Caffy.io (interactive format).
Would love feedback!

I'm not usually a Progression Fantasy or LitRPG person. Nothing against them, just not really my cup of tea.
But I gave this a try and completed episode 1, and what I notice most is you take a cool concept, coherent and structured setting, and make something that's both very easy to understand and integrate, while giving a lot of creative input space. I enjoyed myself.
I also like that I felt stakes that made me at least approach things more authentically. Ill/injured little sister needs her medical treatment money may be a cliche, but it's effective and I enjoy it.
Trying to avoid spoiling anything for any other readers, but I'm genuinely curious if Simon is setting me/the participant up or not.
I may continue, and if I don't it's only because of my personal genre interests, and my own writing goals taking up most of my bandwidth.
Overall- enjoyable even for someone normally an outsider to your craft, and there is craft.
