It was a fun read! I like how the main character was written, and how he seems to have more “common sense and basic intelligence” compared to some of the other MCs I’ve seen on this app. The setting was well written, and so were the transitions. However, the interactions and the writing quality appears a bit choppy. Other than that, keep it up!

Hello everyone, MotivatedSloth here! As explained in the synopsis, rather than a review of the story itself or a humble-bragging of the author singing praises of his own work, here is some more or less technical info that you might be interested in: - In regards to romance - While there will be several important girls playing their part in the plot and several potential romantic interests, in this story I’m (unlike in any other novels of mine) putting much greater weight on the story and much lesser attention to the romance. As such, while relationships between characters are a vital part of the story, I won’t be pushing for any forced or lucky developments just for the horniness' sake. - H4rem? - No… and no? This calls for a bit better explanation as nowadays it's hard to say what’s still a normal relationship and what’s already a h4rem. In short, my mc’s goals are not about getting a feel of everything that walks on two legs. And to a degree, monogamy is just as common in the world of the story as it is in real life. So while it might not be obvious who will even be the real romantic interest (as there will be several) there is, in fact, the main girl. I’m just not going to make it as obvious as others tend to be. - Is this, in any sense, an adult book? - Yes. I don’t house even a shred of doubt that certain developments in this story might go beyond what young people should stray away from. This is supposed to be a dark, nitty-gritty novel that takes your expectations of a fantasy world and puts it into the grinder of a multi-dimensional and complex reality. Magic isn’t the ultimate solution to everything, the power of friendship won’t appear to save the day against an overwhelming enemy. And when forced into a corner, the characters will have to make hard calls rather than small concessions. So yeah, blo0d and sp*rm will be prominently featured in this novel, although I will try to keep all within a relatively good taste. - Is this a VR novel or a fantasy one? - In all honesty, I’m more inclined to classify it as a “low” fantasy? Originally this term describes a story that takes place in a “real” world with the added touch of magic/werewolves/different dimensions. And at its core, this is what this novel is about, an adventure of a man forced into dangerous circumstances with a mission to find a way out. But let’s not claim there are no elements of VR. The fact that everything practically happens in a VR has an insanely heavy influence on the rules and the lore, although it only plays a secondary part most of the time. - What’s the release rate? - Welp, I would love nothing more than to claim I can do two or three chapters a day… But that’s not real. Not with how long the chapters for this story are coming out. So let’s say… 1 chapter/day 7 days/week. I will try to figure out a posting schedule and stick to it but well, you know, life happens. Still, once I find some time to redirect parts of my focus away from other projects, I might raise it to two/day. - If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments to this review or in the novel itself, and I will do my best to reply in a timely manner. - If you want to support this novel, make sure to vote/comment. If you are feeling exceptionally generous today, dropping a review would make my day! - Once again I'm encouraging you all to join the discord, as this is the first time I will actively try to post some references/maps over there to make the story easier to understand. And with that, I wish you all the best and hope you will have a blast reading this piece!

Stopped at chapter 2. When I begin books , i always go in with the thought : " I'll read at the very least 10 chapters and drop it if i can't". And i tried to do exactly the same thing with this one. However , the first two chapters were too hard to digest for me. * The pros : - The writing quality is above average. - The chapters are long. * The cons : - Trying to do everything all at once is not easy. When we start a book , we are firstly interested in the main character , since he is the one that introduces us to the plot. Therefore , it's essentiel to present your main character to the readers in the very first chapter. This way , they quickly get drawn into the story. But what is a good Mc without a good reason to start his journey ? Hence , it's also important to introduce both things quickly and effeciently. Here , the author understood this. But he tried to do everything all at once to quickly start the plot-line and failed. Not only did the frist chapter not tell us anything compelling about the Mc , the reason why he was sent to this world was also quickly dealt with. Then why was the chapter so long ? Because by rushing things as he intended to , the author knew he risked getting some people confused. Hence why he delved into long and tedious-to -read-through, paragraphs of explainations. So needless to say , that first chapter was really badly executed. Then what about the second one ? It was worse. In that chapter , we were propelled into the Vr world where the Mc was.... fighting . And that's all we were shown. This whole chapter was basically about action , and nothing was properly explained. It was also very long , which in turns prolongs the frustration of not knowing what happens . What about introducing properly the vr world ? What about expanding our understanding of the Mc ? Such important points were ignored at the profit of fights whom we do not even care about since the one fighting is so distant to us that we don´t care about him too. All in all , the plot progression isn´t encouraging. - " why are you running ?" I want to ask the Mc that . Why are people so focused on vr ? Is there a famine in their world ? Is their world on the brink of death , which pushes them to drown themselves into vr to cope with it ? Would it prevent any world-wide catastrophe from happening ? We don't know why a better connexion and immersion into the vr world is so dear to that world. "If he fails ,he dies " only serves as a mean of pression so that the Mc gets the plot started. But it doesn´t explain why the gouvernement and the whole world is so interested in the vr world . This absence of clear stakes is further not engaging. - The updates are irregular I've had this book in my librairie for a long time already. And it hasn´t even gone past the hundred chapters boundary yet. It's true that the author has many others books. However , if he was organized enough , it wouldn´t be a problem in the first place. So what to say in the end ? I droped this book early but some of you might be patient enough to go further and like it so read it if you wnat to. Also , may God help you with your works author . Over all note : 2,5/5 ( ~ average)

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.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!
