After reading the raws (up to chap 300) I'm quite disappointed. I'm an avid fan of beast taming novels and this one made me feel sad for how the writing quality deteriorated from the beginning. He actually became a Gary Sue. Shi Yu easily fixed every problem that he faced. No hardship whatsoever. The only think that kept me going is the evolution patterns of his beasts. He kept getting stronger and stronger, most materials for evolution were handed out to him by the Gem Cat and even Eleven finished 3 inscriptions after meeting the Turtle of Emperor Wu. I didn't see him struggling that much. He constantly made research discoveries from the Iron eating beasts to the Green Cotton worms. He contracted a high level overlord heroic spirit in an instant, you can even say that even though he had a test. He still easily passed it. There a lot of other scenes like these in the novel where he is basically the darling of the universe and all things go in his way. There are also a lot of anime references. From the heroic spirits, dragon ball, and reincarnated as a slime. Honestly, at first I was not bothered but I really dislike how the author almost copied all the concepts. Emperor Shidi had built a ruin where you can contact Heroic Spirits of the past, a strong purification totem reincarnated as a slime, and a dragon ball appeared that helped woth buggy's evolution. Lastly, I really dislike how outrageous the novel is. For example, when he went into the Dragon Palace he created a department. Oh, he also defeated the 2nd and 3rd prince of the dragon palace. Currently, he even decided yo create a movie. He also sucked the time ruin in imperial university. Cracked emperor Wu's ruin. And many more. And all of the characters reaction are always "I've never seen anything like this" or "all beasts and humans are stunned and shocked" the fact that he can ALWAYS shock totem level beasts are outrageous and repitative. Honestly, the start was good but the writing went downhill. I'm hoping that the author don't do these things in the future. I don't knlw what I'm writing but I'm just really dissatisfied with how the novel had become.

Everything you don't like is summed up with the novel's philosophy 'Unscientific.' It is supposed to be a fun OP MC romp novel instead of the Drama Queen types you seem to favor. With that said, I'm severely disappointed by the chapter splitting and translation quality dropping. I loved the long chapters that helped with immersion. I hate having to frequently interact with the browser to get to the next part of the story.
