Review after 19 Chapters. I usually don't do reviews, however, this book has caught my attention and so reviewing a fellow author's efforts is my responsibility. (For those who don't want to read this long review: It's a good read, give it a try. It's not your typical harem boy running after girls...) -First impression: My first impression of the book was "Oh, some typical cliche." But no, I was wrong. And I am glad I read all the chapters. *Pros* Character. -Uriel, the main character's personality was really well presented. His character traits felt real and not void. -Mark, Lucy, shaker, and Medusa were recognizable. They had their impact on the story. Grammar. -Top notch. Rarely any error. -The language used is lucid and engaging as well. Plot. (Glad it's not reincarnation.) -The biggest plus for me is that, it has "Archaeology". After a long time I can read a mc from different career line. -The story has a strong foundation. The plot is not easy to decipher either. Which makes me, the reader to continue reading. Story. -I can't say much since it has only 19 chapters. However, as I said in the Plot, it has got strong foundation. Overall, good. *Cons* (Only two I've noticed till now.) Character: -Tina's character felt shallow and contradictory. A rich spoiled brat and yet worrying for Uriel... Even after the break up (The way she broke up) It didn't add up. Turn offs. - Slow progression. I can understand the author needs time to progress story, however, I was getting out of the story till chapter 7. It was hard for me to keep up. I understood how Uriel was after around 3 chapters, however, even after 8 chapters the events did not start. -I was unable to understand multiple terms like hunting, cryptids, trait, and credits. To put it simply, please make an auxiliary chapter where you tell the reader that hunting here means literal hunting and not job hunting. (I am sorry, I thought since he was poor he was hunting for jobs. I was really delusional till ch. 8) - This one is the most important: Since I was reading it for the first time, I don't know what world the characters belongs to. Like Earth or some surreal planet. The premise of the story was unclear. I couldn't add up till chapter 11 that this was Earth only and some Cryptids now have appeared on the surface of the Earth. The World background was unclear as a result. If you can kind off spoon feed dumb readers like me, It would be really helpful. The terms like mana, skills (traits), magic beasts (Cryptids), spirit stones (Credits), and cultivation are well known to me. However, the moment the terms are changed they feel foreign. ---The review ends here--- As for the author: You are doing a great job. The story is good, and don't worry about the pace in my opinion. However, please don't drag the events as it turns off the reader. On a +ve note, I really liked the story. It was a fresh breather to me... away from all the cultivation and lustful lands I explore everyday.

I like the slow progression and prefer it like this where common terms are not explained but shown over time.
