    Normally, I don't bother with Royalroad Novels. Mostly because my Comp hates that site for some reasons. But recently, I found out that one of the more popular novels "Overseer" had been moved to MBC (http://moonbunnycafe.com/overseer/) So I decided to give it a try.

    My God, this thing is deep. Seriously people, if you've not read this yet, you are missing out.
    But sadly, as far as I can tell, its not been touched in awhile. Anyone know if the Author is still working on it?

    The main character is like a god that can see all but can only interfere in the lives of his lizards rarely or in small ways and he sees and feels for them as they evolve and learn. It's very deep and emotional, it has made me cry pretty often.

    Its kind of hard to describe without reading it. To boil it down to the bear minimum, a disembodied "entity" latches on to a group of small lizard creatures, and directs their evolution and culture, becoming their "Overseer". He's not really a "god" in the traditional of the word, but more like the Alien Monolith.

    It's probably dropped, but keep it favorited or bookmarked or whatever it might suddenly come back with a vengeance.

    Its extremely deep and impactful, and the personal growth of the Overseer and His interactions with the Lizards are both heartwarming at times, and sad at others.

    Think of it as a live action "Spore" maybe?

    Late response is late but @Osamaru yes, it is still alive, albeit on hiatus as Mahapatih pointed out. But, therapy is mostly done, my hand/wrist is at (or at least extreemly close to) a point where I can type en masse again. In preparation for continuing writing, I've been going over some of the recent chapters to get back in the groove. I can't promise when serialization will restart, but it WILL in the near future.
