Borne of Caution

I feel like I'm reading a proper book for once, and it just feels good! I could truly get invested in the characters! It's just so...! I just love it 😁

for the third time ever as an avid fanfic reader i feel like im reading a book from an accomplished author. Human interactions are great and emotions feel real, battles look exciting and immersive. Some comedic effects like the mach 1 team rocket, that instead of taking away from the immersion feels just right... Excellent job up until now from the author, definitely hooked. Hope our mc will find some kind of love in this world

Well, since it is the original author, who's posting this story, may I trouble you to delete the other review I've posted? Now, on to the review: Honestly, the story is awesome, I've read everything that's posted on ff dot net up until now and it really did not disappoint. Writing quality is fine, mistakes are sparse and all around, it's a fun read. From time to time, there's some awkward phrasing, but it doesn't really detract from immersion that much. Story development and character design get 4 stars from me. The reason for that is the mc. I get why he is like that. I understand, that what he experienced is traumatising on the best of days. It just gets frustrating sometimes. I probably shouldn't remove points for something like that, but that's the way I feel. Updating stability was fine for ff dot net, the chapters are ginormous which helps a lot. World background. Now, this is where the author shines. He adds to an already expansive world in a believable manner, adds little nuggets of real, factual information and explains in a believable manner how it could apply in a world of superpowered beasties. This, he does in a superb manner, which elevates the story. In conclusion, I can only recommend the story for pokemon enthusiasts. Cheers!

I would like to express just how much I have fallen in love with this story. I keep thinking about it and how well it is written. I love your character interactions, the details, everything really. Lee is smart, he makes logical choices. He thinks things through and works at his goals, and yet he is not without flaw, he makes mistakes, regrets decisions, struggles and learns. So many authors portray their characters as perfect, and powerful. Usually neglecting to give their characters proper emotion and character development, leaving them as hollow empty shells and hard for the readers to connect with. Each character has their own personality, emotions, wants and needs. I can imagine each one as a real person I might interact with, that takes effort. The desriptions are not lacking, they do not leave much to be desired, but do not overpower the rest of the story with too much detail, they let you imagine each scene beautifully. I especially love the bonding moments between Lee and his Pokémon they are all so wonderfully written and leave me speechless. Each moment I spend immersed in this book I would not take back for the world. Thanks for reading this massive block of text, I just wanted to share how I was feeling because I couldn’t get this book out of my head. Hope you all have a wonderful day! :)

for the people who like the fanfic don't worry it is not dropped it is just on Royal road. it's way farther ahead there.

finally you posted here too so more people read this massive gem. in the top 3 Pokemon fanfics for me together with 'sacrifice and subjugation' by MetalDargon and 'Natural' by lightningwarrior 215. I hope you post this in scribble hub, SpaceBattles so even more people can read this gem

Havent really done Reviews in a while but this FF is awesome. Wasn't really expecting much but it feels very clean, from chsracter development to Story design. The characters feel real and have a unique personality for each of them and how they effect the story. Writing is fantastic for a FF and the world background is well made with making it more real but with pokemon logic that fits well to it. Great job author and keep it up! Also im pretty sure the ff won't have romance since Our nine tails took that spit already

Good, it flows quite nicely! The grammar is good. I like it..... Please keep up the good work..............................................................................

this is the second Pokemon fic I have been able to get into. I've tried to get into these fics many time but they usually don't hold my interest because the MCs dont grow or are stupid op. (I kinda like the idea of the trainer growing stronger and training with the Pokemon.) I really like the research and training aspects they are pretty interesting. move creation is awesome and I like that they're not limited to four moves. the fights can be a little tough to read just with how brutal they usually are but that's not a negative. I just can't stop thinking about the severity of the injuries and the amount of time it would take to recover from them in our world. The Pokemon handling is very believable and I can really feel that the MC took care of animals previously. Haven't found any other fics like that in this regard. I'm not overly fond of the MC emotional state (PTSD) and his method of coping but it is believable if not a wise method. I'm just not as interested in that portion of the story and the drama of it. it's not bad just not what I'm reading for the character personalities are really enjoyable, especially the Pokemon but his traveling companions are just as good. also like the commentary on Ash and how much cr*p he gets into. always thought he was borderline autistic. overall, a great read, really hope it keeps going

A real fanfic, no stupid cheats or harem, this fic has proper grammar and character development with real personalties. The only downside is that is too good.

I read this On FF and got to say I’m kinda addicted to checking whenever you’ve uploded or not. If your looking for a pokemon adventure that goes into Poké-animal husbandry and move creation this is your book. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و

been an avid reader of this from the ff net version and all I can say is if you want to read a fanfic that actually feels like a proper book/novel, this is one of the few on this site/app and to please give this a read as this fanfic has some of the best development of characters and actually uses the world of pokemon more than just following canon as a character that basically gives nothing to the plot or canon, this actually feels like how pokemon would be if it wasn't so PG tldr; read the novel, chances are high that you'll like it

Holysh*t this is really good! I recommend reading this! Keep up the amazing work Author!

its an nice fic, but not for me good luck author .......................................................................................................................

I'm really liking the story. The characters are expressive and I like that we get to know them trough dialogue instead of the usual narration. The relationship between people and Pokémon in particular is captured for me the same feelings it held in the show and the same goes for the battles, that manage to be really dynamic without being convoluted or hard to follow. The world building happens without halting the flow of the story and there are tidbits here and there that manage to make you curious enough to share the sense of adventure the characters feel. Finally the updates are a stable 3 per week. While I cannot yet comment on the plot, as the story has just 10 chapters, I can guarantee that the writer is a very good one (especially on a FF site) and I'm looking forward for more. P.S. if there anything that I could suggest is adding a bit more drama. You already have shown to skillfully express emotions and I'm a sucker for drama

One of the top stories I've read in a long time, definitely one of the best on this platform. The grammer and sentence structure is absolutely amazing.

Fic definitely has potential and has an idea that I find interesting, so I look forward to future chapters. The only small problem I have is how the story is written (grammar-wise). Here is a sentence for example, "Enough time to catch some lunch and a nap in the supply closet. Nice." Lee thinks with a grin, turning towards the exit to the visitor area. What the person said was grammatically correct, but it should be "Lee thought with a grin as he turned towards the exit to the visitor area." Atleast, for me it should be like this since a lot of novels are also written like that. Although it seems grammatically correct, it still sounds incredibly weird, especially since it's different to what I usually read. Well, it's just my opinion on the way sentences are written, so it doesn't really matter unless others share the same thing.

This story is amazing, personally one of the best reincarnated/isekai stories out there due to how in depth it is with the world building and the visual for the battles and easy to follow storyline. only wish it updates more

Let’s just say the quality of writting is so good I felt obligated to write a review. Only 3 chapters in and I’m holding this fan fic In high regards. Please don’t drop!

In my opinion this is one of the best Pokemon fics I've ever read. The main character has a wonderful and meaningful arc that actually shows growth. If you wish to read more plz go to Royal Road to read the rest. this story doesn't get updated here often.
