As someone who just finished reading, I thoroughly enjoyed it, apart from the end. It is a harem, but not a bad one, I won't spoil who the MC ends up with though. The love interests do fight over the MC a bit, but in a more realistic way than most novels.
The action isn't as descriptive as other novels but it's still satisfying to read, power leveling is alright, nothing to really complain about but nothing to overly praise, to clear up some confusion with, the ratings for most things in the novel go (Lowest-Low-lower Middle-Middle-upper Middle-High-Highest) pretty simple but its never formally introduced.
As with most novels where the MC is or can transform into a monster/s, evolution is a big part, and as someone who quite enjoys this part, it's fairly satisfying and the dual life of the monster vs man plays a big role, not just something brushed over.
The physical descriptions are quite lacking in most areas so imagining the characters and monsters is mostly left up to the reader (both a pro and a con depending on your preference), regardless this isn't a deal breaker IMO as the focus is more on the story.
The story itself is quite good and enjoyable. It's short but the length suits the story, still would've liked a bit more to read so I could enjoy it for longer : (, but that's just me.
I didn't really like the ending so much, but I wouldn't say it was bad, just not to my taste. It doesn't ruin the story for me though so it's manageable.
Overall very good novel with a few flaws but definitely worth the read. This is all my opinion of course so you might find it different and other reviews might help decide whether to read or not. Don't take the 4 stars as being mediocre, remember 4/5 is 8/10 and I'm not the type to easily give away full scores as a 10/10 would have to be a completely flawless masterpiece that everyone alive would love unconditionally. Also this is my first review so it may be lacking in some aspects, I've tried to keep it as objective as possible.
PS; if anyone has any good monster evolution type novel recommendations I would welcome a pm.
I don't know why but most Korean fantasy novels have a very unsociable MC which likes to ignore others when they want to communicate or stares at them instead of talking which is really annoying and boring. But here the MC is more normal and doesn't look down on others. The story here evolve around 3 themes of fantasy and monsters, romance, politics and power factions. Monster hunting part is really interesting and fun. In most of the story the MC isn't OP and actually has a reason to hunt and level up and since he can be a monster we see him hunt and fight in different forms.
The romance gets pretty interesting the more story goes on and also MC actually finds a GF. Female characters are very lovable and also eccentric with different motives and background.
The MC is versatile more than OP and actually start cashing on it. But the politic part is a little too simplistic and the MC grows to power very quick and easy.
There are many side characters that are both interesting and actually affecting the story. Unfortunately despite of a rich history and world building, the author won't explore many characters and plot points.
The story gets a little boring towards the end but the final 15 chapters are awesome and was kind of unexpected for me. The ending is smart and satisfying also necessary so that the MC could keep continuing a ordinary life and wouldn't isolate himself. He deserved it after all the hardship.
WHY, why it was so good when I was reading it but why does he even consider raising a griffin.
It would be so wrong, it adds nothing and literally makes no sense for the level up become stronger priority brain he has.
I mean seriously the author really had to write that he lost his memory and his looks after almost dying and that sae jung has to try to rekindle the flames between them. Made me scream f*ck off, for wanting a decent happy ending. I know not all books should have a happy ending and I do sometimes enjoy a sad one, but this one pissed me off for some reason. Overall everything is excellent except the ending.
