When life ends, many believe a soul is judged. Warriors might get to Valhalla, saints might go to heaven, and evil-doers go to hell... but what about someone who doesn't fall into any of those categories?
Well, some of them end up like... this.

From the online web-serial, comes a story of reincarnation, comedy, and the winding path towards existential redemption: All Hail The Tiny Snake God!
A fun read following along with the adventures of a tiny snake as he climbs higher into the food chain. Wish this had a bit more interactions with the societies around the dungeon but hopefully we’ll get more in the next book! Our tiny snake god also needs to gain a little more confidence in himself!
Some missing words or commas, but otherwise good on the grammar front. This books real strength is from the voice of the main character. It is really fun listening to this man-snakes inner monologue. The plot is easy to follow, and from moment to moment everything is simple, but it seems to be building from there. It's certainly not The Wheel of Time, but I burned through this book quickly!
Wonderful and hilarious story. Love. It. But needs editing
This is an amazingly fun tale, especially since it has such humble beginnings. I have also been following book 2 progress on the author's page. I only have 3 requests: 1) It could really use some professional or even amateur editing to fix formatting, grammar, and spelling errors. Especially in the first part of the book.
Many readers, upon encountering a lot of formatting and grammar errors in the beginning of a novel, will stop reading it and give bad reviews.
2) I would really like to know what happens with a particular paladin AFTER the events in this book.
3) Since you have now published, I think Amazon might help you, *ahem* "convince" the admins at webnovel to stop allowing IP thieves to post your work on their page for profit. Many other GameLit authors are also having similar problems with that site.
Note on editing: One of my favorite authors charges reasonable fees for professional editing service. She writes the "Vampire Files" books. Maybe give her a peek?
The concept is neat and the satirical style of writing makes the story light and fun. Introducing humans into the dungeon gives a path of development and goals to reach such as communication. But we got a little lost, imitating a god and poorly explained races and relationships leaves me a bit lost for the last part of the book. The snake we follow has little to no actual development, still scared of everything, not exploring the uses and strengths of his abilities, just kind of winging it. This combined with a third of the information everyone else has makes for a confusing albeit funny story that I hope can improve.
Was a fun distraction between other books, quick read. Unique, interesting concept.
It’s just the writing style was not for me, and the multitude of grammar and spelling mistakes was pretty egregious. Entire words replaced by the wrong word so often that I had to constantly reread sentences to try and decipher what was actually meant. It was pretty distracting. I won’t be reading the next book.
Our protagonist is involuntarily transported to a whole new world filled with strange and magical creatures (that are all trying to kill him) an innovative magic system (that screws him over). He must overcome debilitating handicaps (he has no hands) to survive and grow in this challenging new environment.
Entertaining from beginning to end. A different take on a trope and a world that is just starting to be exposed. Does need a spell check or two as well as some words replaced by appropriate ones. But story is good enough to look past it.
If you like "fish out of water" plots, you'll love this tiny snake out of water. Gamelit/litRPG elements, reincarnation, massive misunderstandings, this story is a fun romp through a D and D world along with our 'everyman' mc. All hail the Tiny Snake!
This review also covers the web-chapters. The story is about a man who reincarnates as a snake monster in a cave filled with other (stronger) monsters, and his ongoing struggles to survive. The best parts are undoubtably how he copes with everything (All hail the tiny-snake god!), and the commentary that results in. Later on (in the web-chapters) it becomes more serious, and more story-driven.
This book is happily the epitome of a slice-of-life LitRPG. It has a fun simple premise with the main character is just trying to survive in a messed up world, there is no having to save the universe drama and whatnot. It's satisfying to watch a character grow and mess up while trying to figure out the rules if the world he was brought into, and it is quite hysterical to how several problems just snowballs into avalanches.
This book is also sadly the epitome of a self-published book. There spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors all over the place; so much so that it can be quite jarring. The story gets a little unfocused at the end too, the author could have really used an accomplished editor to review and provide feedback.
Overall I would recommend this book even with the editing drawbacks. This has been one of those books that I find myself thinking back on and comparing it to other LitRPGs. It's a fun easy read well worth its time.
I had a lot of fun reading this! There were many grammar issues within, yet they do little to detract from the story. I would say the author has a gem if he would get this properly sorted out. Also, put this on Amazon unlimited. Read this!
The Snake Report Report [★★★★★] Second reading and this story is still one of the best litRPG/isekai stories I've read. The format is as rough and ready as the web novel it is and an editor wouldn't hurt, but you don't care because it is so much fun.
