For the first hundred chapters or so, it’s a pretty typical ‘Pet Store’ novel. Typical ‘tragic’ back story, typical ‘hard working’ protag, typical little sister. Only missing fat best friend. The world building is fairly spotty. It is a bit excessively described which isn’t too much of an issue if the author didn’t constant retcon himself. Make things to ‘extremely rare’ then everyone has it/knows about. Make some skills ‘extremely hard’, then bam no one is surprised by anyone who can do it. For example, MC’s profession is supposed to be stupidly rare and hard to do. Only reason he’s good at it is because of his cheat and he has absolutely no foundation. Like an award winning inventor who dropped out of primary school and barely understands science. MC does the equivalent of memorising some books and suddenly he’s an expert at the job and no one is even suspicious? For a profession where people seem to be in triple digits in an entire ‘federation’ (or so the author makes you think at the beginning. Will soon realise that’s more bullshit)? The actual world building feels like the author can’t decide between having a society in the Information Age or one set in fantasy. It’s some weird combination of the two that really doesn’t make sense. There is whole list of normal cliches and plot holes I won’t go in to, but at least the book was entertaining for what I came for - pet evolution + business. ****** ****** ****** ****** Then I got past around 130 chapters. Hooo Boy. Hooooooo Boy. Everything positive from the start of the book? Gone. Relationships? Pretty much ignored. World building? Jesus... In one of the later chapters, the author mentioned the words ‘Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’ 33 times. 33 TIMES ONLY IN THE BOTTOM HALF. At least if it was a Wikipedia of Feys I might find some interesting information. But no, it was the same information packaged and reworded multiple times. Then this same information is repeated to me Ad Nauseam in later chapters as well. This happens so many times I lost count. Then there was an entire chapter telling me stuff about a taxi bird fey. An entire chapter describing it. Again absolutely nothing interesting. No David Attenborough with his dulcet tones to do a voiceover. Drier than tumbleweed and even less useful. He even has a ‘Master’ now. I don’t even get the point. Sure she gives some stuff, but there’s no teaching. No guiding. No tasks. But can’t forget to insert obligatory young master while MC hides his background. If the book was around 3.5 in the first 100, it it’s easily tanked to a 1 now. The info dumping and repititiveness is absolutely atrocious. Never mind the fact the MC has pretty much become a combat guy now. Never mind that so called ‘support professions’ are still judged by combat. Never mind the confusing evolution mechanisms that seem to change every few chapters. Ugh. Just another disappointing Chinese pseudo-Pokemon knockoff (fake pokeballs from a mega corporation included).

Yeah. I read the last 50 or so chapters thinking it might get better but it really doesn’t. The quality absolutely tanked after 100.

HUGE INFODUMPS! And author constantly repeats the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Also, one chapter he introduces a new rule of this book, later he will break this rule. Let me put it this way. The normal conversation in this novel goes like this, Mc says something. The person mc is talking to replies with unfamiliar terminology. Author takes 3 paragraphs to explain. The mc replies with unknown terminology again. Author explains using 3 paragraph again. Every conversation is a tool for the author to dump huuuuge info that will probably never be mentioned again. 30 chapters in and VERY LITTLE has actually happened. But boy oh boy you probably know about half of all technical details on how fey, fey grades, fey characteristics, various companies, tools, fey cultivation plans used in this book's universe. Also, to the review that said no system, that is true. But the mc has a huge all encompassing cheat when it comes to feys. Not a bad thing per say but just mentioning. Dialogue is VERY dry because of the constant info dumps in them. So i s the exposition. And whenever any character in this story is feeling something, like happiness or anger, the author explains exactly why that character is feeling that, why the mc mad them feel like that, what the mc thinks about that character, etcetc you get my point. I mean the readers aren't dumb. the author doesn't have to explain why the mc's sister is feeling happy when the mc got her a good fey. But the author does, line by line, breaking down what she was feeling. Also, in this world it is apparently really hard for people to train something called 'runes'. But the mc just has to look in a certain random direction and recite poems. Then boom, new rune. Author said only contractors can choose skills for fey, but a few chapters later we see people choosing skill for fey not contracted to them. Author spends HUGE TIME explaining how things work, but when executing them in the book he literally throws all that out of the window and lets the characters break every rule he established. Oh and don't get me started with FEYS. Random fey appears, author takes a chapter to explain all the characteristics of that fey. Like he does that for almost every fey. Even the ones not related to mc or any major character. This is not a novel, it is one GIANT INFO DUMP or MONSTER ENCYCLOPEDIA. Not recommended.
