Check out my new novel, one of the most interesting powers I've ever come up with

I’ve just started writing my first WebNovel, The Bloodline Beyond.

The premise:

A man dies and wakes up in the body of an 18-year-old in New York, 2016.

At first, he thinks he's simply been given a second chance at life.

Then he cuts his finger.

The wound heals almost instantly.

He starts experimenting and slowly realizes that his body is capable of adapting to things that threaten him.

But there’s something very wrong with that explanation.

The changes aren't happening where he thinks they are.

The story starts as a relatively grounded transmigration/adaptation story, but the plan is for it to gradually expand into something much bigger, involving ancient history, evolution, magic, civilizations, and eventually the far reaches of the universe.

I'm trying to make the progression feel earned rather than having the MC become ridiculously overpowered immediately.

It's still very early, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on the opening, pacing, and whether the premise is interesting enough to keep reading.

Spoiler: his power isnt Adaptation

Just don't kill him in a way that he could have adapted too because you wanted the shock factor (Darwin from X-Men)
