'--- THIS WAS EDITTED AFTER FINISHING THE MODPACK ---

After finishing the pack, I can't say that I would recommend this to friends. This modpack, while having its pros, and definitely some interesting mods to get into in the mid-game, the end-game grind using ProjectE and going up flower tiers after completing every single quest, makes this modpack feel shallow. The end-game boss is not really a threat, the mods you explore and end up using are useless in the end-game and even if you wanted to adventure out into the world with this new found power, it's made boring with the lack of proper terrain generation in any of the dimensions (maybe excluding the End).
Yes, the premise is interesting, but there is no story to continue that feeling of discovery, but rather a checklist to dot, and a slow, monotonous and grindy end-game, with nothing to show but a "Final Star" that doesn't really have a purpose other than to flex to yourself with in a singleplayer world. There's no real exciting multiplayer elements here either, so forget doing or exploring anything really interesting past the first 2 ages. If I could give the author of the modpack any actionable changes to be made, it would to rethink how terrain generation is done, and to give the end-game purpose, other than a grindy wait game for EMC to generate.
For now, find another modpack that does progression better until this one is further updated, you'll be disappointed.

Crypt1c's packs never fail to impress me, but this is another level.
Keeping in mind the mod is in VERY early stages, so while I've experienced some quest confusions and other frustrations, these mostly come from things that I assume are as of now incomplete.
This is one of the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing packs I have played, period, with top tier polish, from the menu, the gui, even the quest book surprised me. The beauty is maintained throughout the whole experience, the textures for all the custom items and the items from UniversUtil, the design of the several custom dimensions, it is all very polished.
Nihil took my breath away, and has mechanics I never even knew were possible in Minecraft!
I'm also particularly fond of the "lore" within the quest book, really makes me excited and I feel like I'm not just playing any other modpack, I hope more packs do this in the future.

Spoilers for the first questline
When I realized I'd be making an mole of hydrogen by forming the protons and neutrons to make the atom, from the quarks and gluons I harvested myself, I was honesty giddy, it is such a cool feature and I wish this gimmick was used more than once as I think it's the coolest element.

That having been said I'm very excited to play a pack with alchem and project E, a combination I haven't personally experienced since alchemical exchange, and with all respect to that pack I believe this is going to take the cake by far.

The pack is very good and having fun pating it but
the performance is not the best and is not stable had many crashes.

I’ve just got to the part where ive made the scroll of transmutation and so far in my opinion the pack is amazing, mixing together mods for the quest progression is a really fun challenge and personally Crypt1c is the only mod developer ive enjoyed playing this type of modpack! I cant wait to see what amazing mods you release in the future, even though im not the smartest tool in the shed, i’ll figure a way to make my progression unlike that of a snail and push my way through this pack! Much Love, keep up the great work :D
