Undermind
SealJohnson
Saskia thought her life was finally getting back on track after the accident. Then she got trolled. Now she's up a tree the size of a planet, transformed into a monstrous tree-like creature, and everyone she meets either runs screaming or attacks on sight. Thrust into a hostile fantasy world as a non-human entity, Saskia must navigate survival among hostile factions, master her new arboreal biology and hard magic system, and grow from prey to power while trying to explain this horrible misunderstanding. Completed web serial of 96 chapters (430,705 words) originally serialised on Royal Road from 2018.
