    More trashy fiction that would probably make Lovecraft turn in his grave? Yes, please.

    It'd be hilarious if this had a Harem tag.

    Cthulhu is a cosmic entity created by H. P. Lovecraft first known in the short story the call of the Cthulhu said to look like a mixture of an octopus, a dragon and a caricature of a human form not random south american god

    From what I've read of it so far, it has a promising start for an non-human reincarnation novel... but could use a fluent English editor. Some of the phrasing is rather awkward.
    Also, to add on to rafe03246's response, Cthulhu, like most of Lovecraft's monsters, tends to drive humans insane if they so much as look at the eldritch being... which could be interesting if the novel goes that route.

    Some guy called H.P. Lovecraft decided to make a fictional universe of horrific cosmic entities that are beyond human comprehension and would drive anyone mad should they lay their eyes on them, based on his belief that, and I quote, "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown". The mythology skyrocketed in popularity and it's found in all sorts of fiction nowadays, like that anime 'Haiyore Nyaruko-chan', is based around an entity from Lovecraftian horror, now anthropomorphized as a cute girl. Cthulhu is one of the most famous ones in the mythology.

    Think of monsters like the Leviathan or Kraken. Cthulu is on that scale of monstrosity and is tied to the occult.

    This novel is so strange that I'm actually considering reading it.....and by that I mean sticking it in the long list of things I may or may not read. At least I'm more likely to read it than Invisible Dragon

    I'm really kind of hoping propeller is a mistranslation. I mean the protagonist is supposed to look intimidating, but how I am I supposed to picture something intimidating if I have to put a propeller on it. I mean it would be like putting shopping cart wheels on a dragon. Nope sorry not scary man, just looks really stupid inside my head.

    Nah, don't be. They didn't finish update their page yet. Chapter names are still blank.

    If you're interested, here is the usual translator welcome page.
