Synopsis

Michael was suddenly reborn into a another world by a God because of an accidental death. To make up for this fact, the God gave him another life in a fantasy world of swords, magic, and monsters. Unfortunately, it turned out that the world he was reborn into was still stuck in the medieval times. It didn't have electricity, it didn't have proper plumbing, and it didn't have any technology that he was so used to back in his old world. But thanks to the God's blessing and an AI assistant called ChatJK1, he was given the power to MAKE his life comfortable. Slowly, Michael transforms this new world into a place even better than his previous one by taking ideas from the modern world and putting it in this world, with the added bonus of magic.

Chapter 1Pilot

"Is this it?" 

Michael clutched his chest, his breath shallow, as if death had gotten hold of him. The dim glow of his PC screen was the only light in the dark room, casting wavering shadows over his face.

Most people feared dying alone. But for Michael, this kind of ending was fine. In fact, it was more than fine. He was satisfied.

For him, a life spent playing games, watching anime, and eating delivery food was more than enough to be considered happy. As long as he had access to the internet, he could even live in the confines of his home forever.

But after 35 years of that lifestyle, his body seemed to have finally given up on him. Turns out, feeding his body with nothing but fast food coupled with zero exercise wasn't a good combination for a long life.

"Kuuukk!"

His vision blurred as if he was being forced to sleep.

And then darkness swallowed him.

… 

But something strange happened to him. 

He was still conscious! 

He couldn't move his body, couldn't feel anything on his skin, and neither could he see anything around him. But he could think.

Is this the afterlife?

He never really believed in any religion, but maybe they were right.

"Hello, Michael."

An ethereal yet distant voice echoed through the darkness, startling him.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"First of all, I would like to apologize. Due to an error on my part, you left your original world too soon. You weren't supposed to die."

Michael processed the words, through which he rightly assumed that he was speaking to a Godlike being.

"You're a God, aren't you?"

"Yes. I am a God… aren't you angry?"

Michael's indifference to his death seemed to have intrigued this God.

"I'll assume that you can't just bring me back to life. If you could, you wouldn't have bothered to explain all that to me. You would have just fixed the mistake and revived me."

"…"

Michael never saw the reason for bothering himself with something he couldn't change.

Even if he were to shout at the God, would this entity be able to magically bring him back to life? Probably not.

"You're not even going to ask me why an Almighty God like me can't revive people? That's it? You're okay with this? Just accepting… it."

If he still had a body, Michael would have simply shrugged. 

"I'm just a chill guy," he replied.

He seemed to have heard an exhausted sigh in the void, likely from the God, but it might have just been his imagination.

"I was all set to be the enigmatic, all-knowing God who stays peaceful while you scream at me… whatever. Since this was my mistake, I am obliged to compensate you."

Michael barely paid attention. "Just take my soul, man. If I don't have a consciousness, I won't know that I'm missing out on the next anime releasing this season."

"Ahem… since I can't give you a life back in your original world, I will just grant you a new life in another one."

If the God had a body, he would have tried to take a peek at Michael's reaction, fully expecting excitement to fill his face.

Instead, all he got as a response from Michael was lackluster.

"Eh."

The God, being the omniscient being that he is, knew about Michael's love for anime. So, he thought that Michael would love the idea of being transported into another world.

"Why aren't you excited?! Weebs like you love isekai, right?"

Of course, Michael wasn't unfamiliar with the concept of being transported into another world. He was quite fond of it, given his love for anime and all fantasy entertainment, getting lost in the world of heroes, demons, and adventures.

But watching it was one thing, and living in it was an entirely different concept.

No, thanks.

Although he loved watching heroes fight against demon lords, Michael had no desire to waste his time fighting, slaying monsters, rescuing empires and breaking levels. He would rather sit on the TV and watch the hero fight the demon lord.

That was why he was so satisfied with his previous life. He didn't have to fight for survival; he had everything he needed.

If he was hungry, he could have his food delivered to his doorstep. If he was bored, he could just boot up his PC and play his games. If he was bored with that, he could simply watch movies on his TV.

If he were to be transported to another life, he would lose all of that.

He would rather just disappear than start over from the beginning.

"Just take my soul, man," Michael said, already feeling bored and fighting the urge to go on his phone and doomscroll for a good hour.

Of course, his attitude was very apparent to the God, and frankly, it left him speechless. 

An angry nonbeliever would have been easier to deal with than this guy.

"Sorry, not possible. I have to put your soul into another body in another world. That's the rule. And no matter how much you complain—"

"Well, if you have no choice, then so be it."

"That easy?! Hey! Don't just shrug your nonexistent shoulders!"

After dealing with Michael for only a few minutes, the God was already exhausted. Without another word, he cast a spell and sent Michael's soul down into another world.

A strange, warm feeling enveloped Michael's entire being as if he were submerged into a warm, viscous water.

Drifting in this unfamiliar 'water', Michael heard the annoyed God's voice fading into the distance.

"P.S. I gave you abilities based on your desires. You won't know what they are yet, but you'll find out soon enough."

"And since I took you away from your very comfortable life, I have decided to make it up to you. I have reincarnated you as the youngest son of the richest family in the entire world. So, live a life of luxury, Mr. Stoic."

"$)(*@#)(%$)*&$#)*&@"

")(*)% @)*(#@"

Michael heard a bunch of muffled, strange new sounds and excited noises. 

A moment later, he felt his head being pulled out of somewhere warm and slimy.

Then, a blinding light.

It took a couple of seconds before his eyes were able to adjust to the light.

"$(&@(*&@)(*"

Where am I? What are they saying?

[They seem to be congratulating you on your birth.]

Huh?! Who are you?

[I am ChatJK1, your personal AI assistant.]

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote!

The world was cruel..... Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine. Aether was one of them.... Born with a golden spoon... yet, he was cast aside like a defective product. He longed for love, for warmth—but all he received was pain. Yet, he smiled, not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. With nothing but a broken heart and a hollow laugh, he stepped into the hell called society. "Can't you do a single thing right?!" "…Heh" "You're fired!!!" "…W-Wh…He" "I'm sorry, sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to apply." "…I-I am…Heh" "We can’t approve a loan without collateral." "…W-Why?" "Your father’s a politician, right? So, you know…" "…" The so-called society didn't welcome him very well... Yet, He pressed forward! After years of struggle, he finally secured a job—only to be reminded of his place. "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me. So don’t ever contact me or MY parents again," his brother sneered. "...Heh..." And just when he thought he had finally earned a sliver of recognition— "HONK!! HONK!!" Fate was merciless. A split second, a cruel twist, and his already miserable life came to an abrupt end. Yet, as the darkness closed in, he screamed into the void— “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” A will that even the universe listened. !~Ding~! Reborn into a new world, Aether thought he had finally been given the chance to truly live.

Seducing the Villain’s Wife?! ..... ... .. And the list only kept growing… He, a Mere slave, seduces them all.... WHAT KIND OF F## UP LIFE WAS THIS?!! But it wasn’t OVER—far from it.... These women… were even worse!! One wrong move, one careless mistake… and his life could be erased from existence!

I rarely write reviews but this whole story was a massive disappointment. Going into this I thought it would be really good due to the amount of 5 star reviews and the concept of the novel however I was quickly disappointed. There a three main issues that I have with this novel 1. The author has a weird grasp of economics, the way the currency was setup up had problems from the beginning however these could be overlooked until the author decided to start adding USD conversion at which point everything went downhill. For perspective the author claims that maids in the MCs family get paid a relatively high wage of 1 gold a month. However the author later says that 1,000 gold = $10,000 (1 gold = $10) meaning that the maids make less than 1/560 of the average monthly salary in the US. This could maybe make sense if the MC was in a third world country where labor costs were low however the MC is the son of the richest family in the world and obviously does not live in a poor area. I got past this point however and kept reading, however shortly after when the MC introduces chess it is priced at 100 bronze per set which would be $0.001 per set. You can buy ramen in most gas stations for $1 meaning 1 ramen noodles container = 1,000 chess sets. Make it make sense. Again this would maybe be fine if the author didn’t bring up the amount the MC made in USD repeatedly. 2. The MC tries to implement modern social practices that do not make sense in a medieval setting onto this world (e.g. The MC tries to force all the house staff to work a maximum of 8 hours per day and no more, great thought except it makes no sense in a medieval society where work hours are determined by sunrise and sunset) 3. Cringe / Cliche. Everything seems to always work out perfectly for the MC with little to no effort, MC follows reincarnator 101 on steroid template to make money using modern ideas but has an AI that does all the work and creates perfect blueprints. What really irked me though was the MC just straight up giving away the soap recipe to other people because he didn’t want to hurt their business and wanted everyone to live peacefully and happily. Verdict: Had and has potential, author should rewrite what they have an try again. Would not recommend reading until the author makes some edits and fixes some of the biggest issues specifically the currency.
