The Story actually started off oretty good and kept me interested for most of the way through to the current chapter.(which at time if review is about 280 or ao chapters) But the story really starts to go downhill around chapter 200 as there forced events and character decisions that make no sense. New characters that are just annoying and dont make sense for who they are suppose to be. The MC who I had originally liked, i started to get annoyed with and started making choices that went against who he is. Its really dissapointing cause i had hope for this as there aren’t many decent Dungeon Lord type novels. There are other problems in this book, but for me the major turnoff where i just could not continue happened around the 200’s and i think specifically around 220.

Despite being over 500 chapters in length you get the feeling the author has barely scratched the surface of what is possible. So even though I'm making this review now I still consider this in the beginning stages. Without further ado, let's begin... WRITING QUALITY: -Overall the quality is legible meaning accurate grammar and sentence structure most of the time. How do you know that your reading is poor? One way is because of the need to read over the text you just read not because of its complexity or depth but because you didn't grasp what the author is trying to convey. You won't need to worry about this. STABILITY OF UPDATES: -The author as far as I can tell never stayed in the double digits for weekly releasing nor dropped below 4 chapters for long if at all. This is a sign showing the author's desire to stick at it for the long run compared to the amount released I find this a better gauge of stability. Basically, the author so far has not given us a reason to doubt. STORY DEVELOPMENT: -The short answer is you always find yourself coming back for more. The longer answer is the beginning you are brought to some of the highest peaks of power which shows the vast gap between where the MC is now and the progress to be made from the bottom. With his dungeon as a center point, you see the characters venture out exploring the world similar to a character in a game bringing color to grey areas. This is a deliberate decision the author has made compared to other stories that have the MCs base of operations move with him while he scales the ladder of power. Neither is inherently better just more of a preference this author shows. -Not only do you see the MC develop the story being the one we follow but also many side characters and future villains scheming in the background giving you a foreshadowing of events to come. Overall great job. CHARACTER DESIGN: -The author does a masterful job of making sure each character is fleshed out so they add to the MC and the greater plot. Everyone close to the MC has a distinct personality, side characters you meet along the way regardless of duration feel like real people, and the villains are good villains in the sense they make you root for the MC and his companions. -Many people who don't like harem have legitimate concerns that those characters will either be useless or take away from the greater plot. You don't need to worry about this because so far the author has eluded to a few potential harem members however the plot demands your full attention so romance is not the center but instead the byproduct of a compelling story you read unfold. -Another concern many readers have is stories that have harem members surrounding the MC lack other companions which works sometimes while other times it leaves the reader wanting. I would say you are given a myriad of companions helping the MC, hindering the MC, and being there to flesh out the world. WORLD BACKGROUND: -As I wrote earlier the beginning does an excellent job of showing how vast the world is and how much potential the author can use to develop the story and characters. As the story progresses the MC is shown more of the world that seems never-ending which reminds me of peeling back the layers of an onion trying to find the nonexistent core. -The background is tied in obvious and mysterious ways to the MC letting you make your own judgments while giving you more bit by bit proving how much and little you really know so far. Overall I can't recommend this novel enough. Give it try if you're looking for quality content.

Interesting enough for a read, great concepts but the execution is bit odd Instead of scaling stat values to a lower range we start with random numbers in the hundreds when stats in the double digits would have done the exact same thing, it's like Diablo 3 stats in a novel where you can reach 1T and it means nothing. The DP system is even more ridiculous, Author thought numbers had to be big to have any meaning when 100DP could have been made to be something extremely difficult to reach. When Irene is introduced the novel becomes much more annoying to read as well, at least 25% of every chapter with her is describing her beauty because we, as readers are too dumb to have understood from the introduction, no, literally every sentence with her has to describe her beauty...I just skip over any areas where I see her name now, occasionally I check back and it's a waste because all I was missing is worthless info about her appearance. Expect to encounter chapters wasting 50% or more detail describing how amazing, mysterious and powerful she is for absolutely no reason other than Author thinks we're all idiots. This novel may as well be a tribute to a woman he likes called Irene. World background seems really interesting though, the only other annoying part is how he introduces characters and names, instead of normal descriptions we get "HELLO BOBBY, EVIL DRAGON CAT DOG FALCON MAN GODBEAST THE THIRD, TWICE REMOVED, KING OF TOKYO, LORD OF DRAGONS, BREAKER OF CHAINS, MOTHER OF DOGS, LEADER OF BLACK CAT GUILD, MOST RESPECTED ANCIENT BEING" and equally ridiculous introductions that are somehow supposed to be taken seriously Spelling is good, grammar is decent, that's saying a lot for Webnovel so kudos to Author. All in all, decent read if you have nothing else.

INITIAL THOUGHTS: -Ive recently caught up again with the chapters I stockpiled and decided that I wanted to give potential readers a window view of this great novel. WRITING QUALITY: -The short answer is Top Quality. -The longer answer is the author has done a great job of keeping the writing understandable using proper grammar structure which for what I call “Original Authors” is something that doesn’t always happen. When this novel plateform first started and for most of it’s inception afterwards you’ve had Chinese authors hiring translators who have a high level of English proficiency. This lead to a quality of content most of us readers got used to and only really noticed with new authors exploded on the platform. Overall 5/5. UPDATING STABILITY: -Consist from beginning to now. Averaging 1 a day or 7 a week it’s much better then many authors who seem to burn out after releasing at least twice that amount. Overall 5/5. STORY DEVELOPMENT: -Anyone who has read a fair amount of novels knows that their isn’t one universal story development. We read many decent to masterful stories with varying plots. What we do know even if we can’t put it into words is when a story progresses badly. This novel happens to fall into the great category. -The Main Character (MC) is transported to a cultivation world with many underlying mysteries that accompany his beginning. Most of the time we stick with the MC seeing his progress while at times be shown other characters that add to the overall world in a way that connects to the MCs progress now or in the far future. This is great for a number of reasons -One is how plot points are not only made in the short term, but also in the long term making many events that were a mystery unfold naturally. So while some plot points seem too distant to connect at first get gradually uncovered showing there deep implications. Two many people introduced in different factions and power levels are having a major effect on the story developing in ways we have yet to understand. -Overall I see great things for the story now and later. 5/5. CHARACTER DESIGN: -Short answer again is great. -The MC is positioned in the world as someone within and outside of it. Living a life as a human before and a demon now is taking the best of both worlds so he becomes someone who can make a impact. Ruthless and kind. Distant to some close to others. Prideful yet humble enough to recognize his faults. One of my top MCs. -Close characters are multi dimensional showing there support for the MC and the greater story development. Slowly but surely we see a group form around the MC each bringing color to what could have been a solitary life. I don’t want to give spoilers, but I’ll say that 2 females closest to the MC each bring out more sides to each other’s character development. Overall 5/5. WORLD BACKGROUND: -Deep and mysterious. The MC is slowly unveiling through his exploration what seems to be a complicated world. Many races known like Demons, humans, and dragons while many more briefly mentioned. Also various Apex wars that have happened for reasons unknown. The list goes on and on leaving wanting more. Overall 5/5.

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! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.
