I've read a decent number of system novels, and one thing I never understand about many of them is the tendency to immediately disregard the rules they establish. I'm 200 chapters in, and I'm debating whether to continue because it feels like the MC doesn't truly earn anything. It just stopped making sense how he's constantly able to overpower every challenge thrown at him. The system only seems to exist to justify why he's "the chosen one." Why even create a system if, within the first 100 chapters, it no longer matters what level anyone is? The MC's "Madness" just solves all his problems without any real effort or personal growth. It's like a perfect deus ex machina that allows him to bypass challenges without taking the time to actually master his craft—it feels lazy. I'm willing to give it a shot if it gets better, but seeing comments that, even 500 chapters in, he's still Level 0 makes me skeptical. By that point, his stats are probably strong enough to beat most people without any real struggle, which undermines the power system entirely. Why should I care about any antagonist when I know the MC will just win immediately or rely on his "Madness" for some random 1000% boost to an obscure skill? Ultimately, there's little to no tension because it never feels like the MC's life is actually at risk.

This novel stands out as a remarkable example of the genre, offering readers a richly woven tapestry of imaginative world-building, intricate character design, and exceptional writing. From the very first page, it becomes clear that the author has invested great care in crafting a universe that feels both expansive and intimate, filled with unique cultures, landscapes, and lore. The protagonist is a brilliant and highly intelligent character whose actions and decisions are consistently portrayed with depth and realism. The author's ability to depict such a character convincingly is commendable, as it is not an easy feat to write someone who is genuinely smarter than most of those around them. This intelligent portrayal adds a layer of sophistication to the narrative, making it both engaging and thought-provoking. Character development is another highlight of this book. Each character, from the main cast to the supporting roles, is well-rounded and compelling. Their individual arcs are interwoven seamlessly with the plot, resulting in a story that feels organic and dynamic. The relationships and interactions between characters are particularly well-done, adding emotional depth and authenticity to the story. The world-building in this novel is nothing short of spectacular. The author has created a setting that is both fantastical and believable, with detailed descriptions that bring every scene to life. The magic system, political structures, and cultural elements are all carefully thought out, providing a rich backdrop against which the story unfolds. This level of detail enhances the immersion, making the reader feel like a part of this extraordinary world. The writing style is another strength of the book. The prose is eloquent and evocative, striking a perfect balance between descriptive richness and narrative drive. The pacing is well-judged, with a blend of action, suspense, and quieter, character-driven moments. This ensures that the story remains engaging throughout, keeping the reader hooked from beginning to end. In summary, this novel is a triumph of storytelling, combining exceptional world-building, intelligent character design, and beautiful writing. It is a must-read for fans of the genre, offering a reading experience that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply satisfying. The author has truly excelled in creating a book that stands out in the crowded fantasy landscape.

For first time readers of the author's work, I would rate this a solid 4/5 stars It is one of the better written novels on this platform, and if you like the mana/dimensional apocalypse genre, with systems, loot, etc. you'll probably like this. However, anyone with any familiarity with the author will quickly realize that GA has nothing fresh to offer them. The bones of this story read like a remix of Dimensional Descent. We are once again placed in future Earth, under threat by transcendent forces which seek to transform it in disastrous ways. Again, the people of earth are given a way out through newly awakened powers. Both Sylas and Leonel have mysterious, noble backgrounds connecting them to the incoming mana/dimensional apocalypse. In both stories, all the factions (including government) aware of the peril Earth is in do nothing to prepare the ignorant masses for it. Both protagonists are described as underachieving geniuses, leading lives they find unfulfilling in one way or another, until they get shaken out of their malaise by the apocalypse. From the childhood sweetheart, to the romantically challenged protagonist, I can't help but be shocked on how similar the setups are in GA and DD. The best way to put it is that the sprinkles are different, but the cake is the same. Ultimately, if I had to predict this, against all odds, with the deck repeatedly stacked against him, surrounded by powerful factions that either want him dead or under their thumb, Sylas/Leonel will solo the universe with the help of their childhood sweetheart. If you want to explore the new mystery boxes and power sets the author came up with be my guest. But imho, 280+ ch deep, I'm dropping it. I don't need to wait till chap 4000.

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _______ Power comes from the beast you tame in this world, and you need to do it at the tender age of ten. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, 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 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? The apex predators? Turns out they start small too, so... He’s going to tame everything, every evolutionary line. How? Turns out, his summon isn’t useless after all. Step one: survive long enough to unlock his gift. Step two: tame creatures nobody else dares to touch. Step three: become the strongest tamer the world has ever seen and laugh in the face of those who doubted him. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Because in this world, strength isn’t just about the creature you summon; it’s about the bond you forge, the risks you take, and the will to rise when the world drags you down. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Even better, every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, questionable life choices, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions, over-the-top power fantasy, 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 an underdog, an over-the-top power fantasy, and a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a more serious or a bit grim-dark story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun, taming dragons and expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna... Her skin and clothes 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! Oh, and don’t miss the cool horns. 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 Utopian, 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.
