Finished another title by this author and have absolute faith that it's gonna be a good one!!! already stoked to see where this goes

I took a chance and spent more than Two Thousand Coins in one go to read this novel. The story is about a young man named Karl and his journey as a Beast Master in an Academy. The initial onset of the story is intriguing, and you give allowances for pacing, detail, and depth in the beginning of all novels as an author is just started to build the world. There are no major mistakes of writing being done in this novel, which is great news. Spelling is great, and the author never uses a larger unknown word when a simple one will suffice. The novel world building leaves you with the initial impression that the world is less advanced, but in fact, it is just geographical to the main character circumstance. The descriptions of people, places, and things is on par for a webnovel, which is to say lacking. I found it lacking in description, and that hurts world immersion. Pacing wise the story is a race to the finish but you are not quiet sure if it is actually moving fast or not because there is no overarching goal for the main character unless you count getting stronger of which Karl does very fast. Let me ask the question: Who is the antagonist? The main mystery is the System, the ancient power of the world dragon. In this Karl is unravelling the mystery faster than anyone has in hundreds of thousands of years. So yes, the story is lacking in sub-plots. Absolutely. The Magic system and Training. Arguably, one of the reasons many of us read these novels and we as an audience are hypercritical, but of course, we are a paying audience. There is a system that the character is trying to unlock, but is is only partially unlocked. Karl is only able to use some of his powers, but training is not confined by these limitations, yet the guy never really trains in any discipline. The initial experience of the academy was not enough to warrant his skills. I could go in more detail but as an audience member following along in the novel I found myself not being able to believe Karl was actually skilled. The written Style of Battle Karl as a Beast Master is endowed with skills such as Rend, and with some training and adjustment, he seems to be able to manipulate Rend and use it in different ways. I for one love this it is absolutely the greatest. You see this in the best novels written by the most creative writer on this platform. Yet the written battle style plays out like an MMO damage dealing scene...=( It is disappointing. If there was a build up of written word that showcased Karl's training dedication to some kind of martial discipline you would not be able to see it from the way the battles are written. They follow a buff, attack, shield, suprise and win format. Karl as a written character has not really grown. His rank has gone from Awakened to Commander leaving Royal, Monarch and Overlord left more if they haven't been reached or mentioned but has Karl grown? Nah, not really. At this point Karl has just reached Commander Rank. Write the character into some training give his skill set some depth and show us the ingenuity of him learning to use his skills outside the box. There are some incredible novels on here Aoki this can be one of them. That said, you're finding success as is so yeah Good luck.

Reveal spoiler

Probably my most favorite beast tamer novel. I just hope it won't do the all generic overused "oh church actually evil," "this kind organization is actually super evil," then the MC will automatically go looking like some satanic worshipper and acting like a 12 year old try hard edgelord.

Review at CH162.. The beast taming aspect of the story is done really well as Karl tries to navigate the path to making his tames better. The writing and world development overall dont leave much to be desired. The pacing kind of feels like we're following a slice of life with some combat here and there. My main complaint so far would have to be the character development. A lot of the characters, to include MC, seem rather flat and dont have much of a personality. Other than being stronger, it doesnt seem like the MC has any sort of goal nor do we really get a peek at his mentality. The tamed monsters are arguably more entertaining and individualized than any of the human characters we meet so far. I really enjoy the novel and wait for my chapters daily, just hope we can get more full bodied characters

I am very happy to find a well written beast taming story that actually focuses on the beast taming and raising aspect. I am currently at chapter 90 and so far there are no major issues I can point out, no grammar mistakes, no missed used words and no strange word choice, making it easy to read. The monsters each have their own unique traits and personality, and the characters are diverse enough to keep the story interesting. The world building we have had so far is good, modern tech and architecture that sometimes has a magical twist and I can't wait to see more of the magical side and monsters that has been hinted at. Its a too early for any major character development so I can't speak on that yet. I have only read mecha warrior system from this author which was a good novel and this is shaping up to be just as good, however I do hope there is a little more romance than there was in that story. For stability of updates author seems to be updating plenty of chapters just like his other stories and isn't known to drop off the face of the earth like many other novel authors on webnovel.

This book is ONLY a decent beginning of a book. It lays out an interesting fantasy setting and stretches the intro plot on forever. It gives readers the feeling it will become something good, but it never does. If the plot developed, it might be a good novel - That’s a major reason for its success. But as it stands, it’s the nutritionally empty junk food of webnovels. Below is a list of other rambly criticisms: 1. The writing is monotone. This is especially noticeable with characters who share speech mannerisms to an alarming degree. It is acceptable at first when everything is new and local, but as international cultures are introduced its nature as a flaw comes to light.  2. Character worldviews and attitudes are generic. All characters (even leaders, foreign countries, and “gods”) fall into two sets, “generic beast companion” and “generic humanoid.” These sets govern nearly all tones, mannerisms, attitudes, and thoughts.  3. Hundreds of chapters in its still 100% training arc. No real antagonists. Even “wars” against “faceless” giant monsters reads like a training arc. 4. The book is padded out to be a “slice of life.” It sacrifices progress (aside from strength increases) for semi-repetitive good-vibe moments. If you buy into the inside joke-like style these scenes might give you a little dopamine rush. Otherwise, it’s incredibly stale and predictable made worse by the monotone voice everyone has. 5. Other than the initial sudden twists (like a trial jumping out of nowhere), it’s too predictable. 6. Although the world’s mystery was intriguing for a long time, what is revealed over time is less interesting than I had hoped. (This is a common issue with many books where the initial concept the author adopted was obscured by a more interesting concept that never gets fully realized) I’ve rambled enough. I read this a while ago and only reviewed it now because it's been pinned to the top of my library for two days and I’m tired of it.  Should you read this book? Maybe. I did once and I don’t anymore. Keep in mind that it’s super junk food and in the end, you will probably be unfulfilled. If you’re fine with that, enjoy the sickly sweet flavor stretching on forever.

There is no way in hell that this novel is top 2

First, short chapters and a lot of filler. Second, in this story EVERYONE is a good person, NO ONE has bad intentions. It's not realistic. Third, MC divulges his secrets to everyone. 130+ chapters and it's been less than 2 months. MC is too naive, too kind. When MC goes on a trip with companions, their names are NEVER mentioned.

How boring to start with the academy, plus we have a boring mc who seems smarter than the others for no reason... This novel is more for young children without drama or suspense 😴
