Very deep world background, deep challenges and character development mainly focused on the MC, Claude.
A Human turned beast.
The ones who did, changed him to make him an ally, but he now became the only one of the lost race that is seen as their biggest enemy.
True trusted ones are few, his oldest one a pitwolf, pet, ally, companion and friend trusted more than a brother would.
A shapeshifter under Humans, with more and less observative friends.
His Astral trainer, both a help to become strong and a future enemy to overcome.
Will he grow survive and beat everything to come?
Will he find his way to live in society, become a beast of the wild or perhaps something else?
How long will the curtain hold and what will happen the moment it falls?
To be honest I still didn't read up on most chapters before he enters the astral world.
My opinion: one of the top 3 free Novels on this site, that'll (hopefully) finish.
