as of this review, I'm at chapter 95 of 120. overall, I would have to say the story is really good, I like the fact that the main character did not get lost in revenge and seeks to harm those who hurt him. I love the dynamic between the main character and the main female character. they have a fairly realistic romantic relationship. there are two main things I can even rag about on this story. one is the fact that several times there are grammatical and / or wording mistakes that can be distracting. and secondly, the fact that there seems to be missing info on a critical viewing makes me question this stability of the world. like one of the things is it's not made clear how Universal knowledge is on being a Beastmaster. cuz it's made obvious that the students and most lower ranked people don't know about bestification or field spells, really. but they seem extremely common in the higher ranks of a competition that is apparently a very popular sport that has sponsors, and I'm assuming commercials. Considering students watch replays of matchs, surely this has been seen before. But based on how the series reads, it seems like this is the first time their seeing these techniques. It could just be that the main populace don't expect it from their tier of competitors, but it doesn't read that way to me. But if you just let it not bother you, the story is an entertaining and honestly heartwarming read.

LIKEthank you for your review. for the point you mentioned, it's complicated, the beastification is indeed known, but not expected from a first year student but realistically it's my bad. my objective is to hide some stuff to give a better surprise effect for the readers, and it will always fire back (foreshadowing: just the concept of Ishtarians should make everyone in the academy licking the mc's boots )
