It's not bad, actually. What hooked is that it's from the same author of Unscientific Beast Taming.
Settings is the beast taming era hasn't arrived yet, it was just about to begin. The protagonist is someone who can communicate with animals, and he is hailed from a long lineage of family having something to do with animals.
Overall, I quite like it. BTW, this is already translated in NU, but this has more translated chapters (although chop-chop).
