This story remind me of The Devils origin if u read tht novel. And yeah. Because its basically same like DO, of course tht cruel act to the MC, r*pe, and full of blood in s*x is mainly u can see in this novel. Soo, be carefull for someone who didnt like tht despicable act, because this story definetely not your cup of tea.

But of course, it will be different story if u can endure it like me. I nearly pluke when read this, so be carefull not read while... more>> eating. This novel even much more worst than DO, at last, in DO, u can find a nice s*x scene and no r*pe. But this is, completely, all ini all, the ML is yandere, yandere and yandere. Even the mostt cutest and obedient ML r*pe MC once!!! Did u believe tht?!!!

If u can endure tht, u can find a good, beautifull and wonderfull story. Even I find it disgusting, its indeed have a sexy point in a strange ways. The story it self is interisting. I love the second story, and its a werewolf!! Really my liked!!!

Soo be carefull when read and enjoy the beautifull story when u decided to read!! ???? <<less

Lost interest after 47 chapter. The concept could’ve been interesting, I don’t mind BD*M and other type of torture, however MC made no sense to me. He just got s**ked into a different world and while trying to find out what’s going on he gets r*ped each time. His reaction? Nothing. He just accepts it all for no reason and gets attached to each ML like a little kid following an adult that gives candy to him.

Basically no character made sense, everything was nonsense and my eyes were falling asleep... more>> after each chapter. If you’re okay with BD*M without a solid plot, then this is it. <<less

Surprisingly, I throughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. If you are a kid and easily offended, please don't read this story. The plot is simple, GTY has to go through all 12 beasts to complete his quest and I did not find it repetitive. Not for the faint of heart, especially the first half of the book, the second half turned much more vanilla. In the first half, expect torture, a lot of r*pe and tons of blood. I'm fascinated by GTY's a**h**, this man can handle a... more>> lot. Having 12 seme isnt easy. The storyline was engaging, you'll hate the beasts at first, but the author does justify their actions and make you like them by the end. Give this a try, have an open mind and have fun reading it and don't judge until you are done. You might end up not like all the beasts, but some of them are pretty awesome and memorable. <<less

LOL in my opinion, all the scenes that can be considered the "rape" scenes is not strong enough to call "rape". And I cannot see any BD*M : ( ( (maybe because I used to read more severe and creepy things before so this novel just like R-15 for me : ( ((

Btw this story is kinda cute and easy to read, but it doesn't leave any impression on me, and I think I will forget it soon :vvv

Actually I like something kind of MC being r*pe/gang r*pe/mol*st. But u know what, this novel have a thing that I like but not my cup of tea. Because I like the victim (mc) not pathetic as this mc's novel. The MC too s*upid and naive too kindharted and just accept any kind of abusive sexual. I hope MC being more strong not too op but not too weak and s*upid lowest IQ.

This MC has no intelligent mind to think to feel angry and resentful or to hate his rapists.... more>> In fact, he seems to like being treated that way. Although I like the tags where MC is r*ped, but no where are all the types of r*pe that suit my taste, especially MC with a very clean heart as if there is not the slightest point of hatred and anger about rapists making me feel bored and rubbish. Weak <<less

I'm very new to harem novels but this is an okay novel to me... (except the bloody-s*x and gore-ish r*pes). Still, I survived it.

The smut and the fluff scene are what that most kept me going to read this novel until the end. This novel did not have any earth-shattering plot and it was just a light read with cute emotions.

For those who want a deeper plot and intensive storyline, then this novel is not for you. I just read many serious and deep novels before this one so reading... more>> this was only a brain-refresher.
I love it.

Is the story repetitive? For the first 6 palaces it uses the same structure (and as translator notes, it's an alternation of nice gong/abusive gong) but then it change the formula in order not to be boring as hell.

I really, really want to give the author a little bit of pat on the back because using Mian/Jue/Huan Sheng BEFORE MC gets to their palaces allows the story to change and gives them more 'screentime' that otherwise would come too late for the reader to care about them.

Mind the tag and...... more>> the beginning of the story is really a test: if you can go past it, you are probably going to have no problems with what happens.

MC is... someone says that MC goes with the flow and TBH that's real, then again what else can he do? He wants to find out WHY for the past 30 years he had this fear and this power -this is the only chance he gets.
I do appreciate that before the ending he is really 'let's go back and ignore this before any of us gets hurt'.

Is he a floormat? Kinda? He's empathic to a fault, for sure. Does he forgive too soon? Yeaaaah...
Spoiler

but I'm glad he is TORN about not being able to give any of the beast his full heart, he loves all of them but it has to be an incomplete love

[collapse]

In the end the Sacred Beasts become his reason to keep going which is rather cute.

Under the heave spoiler some thoughts about the beasts

Spoiler

Bai Zhi Ao: the first beast, the first love. Bai Zhi Ao gets the easiest role in the book: help the MC, be cute and adorable, sacrife yourself for him, be loved earnestly. I liked this silly pup so much, he's adorable and perfect to start the harem.

Xiu Er: half werewolf who has been betrayed by his beloved, lost himself in rage. r*ped the MC a lot, felt remorseful as soon as he was turned back into a human. I personally liked Xu Er A LOT. I was so glad MC was happy to understand his tragedy and forgive him -that's what he deserves.

Qin Que: My favourite. Has a trauma of being inferior to his brother, gets accepted by MC even his ugly peac*ck form. He's the brain cell of the harem and is probably the only one showing self-restrain with MC. Felt like a real character, you know? Also his arc was absolutely fantastic.

Liang Yue: The least liked. The story arc was a mess. He torture the MC, MC almost dies, they have no real time to bond (unlikely with Xiu Er) and I'm supposed to believe they love each other? Both as character and as ML, Liang Yue really doesn't stand out or make sense.

Qian Lu: Ah, loved this arc -it's a training arc! MC and ML are really cute together and there is a good backstory for Qian Lu as well. The unicorn personality is really tsundere but it works.

Zhou Yin: He grew on me after his arc ended, actually. He's one of the r*pey gong that wants desperately to be loved. He turns into MC's fiercest guard, so kudos to him.

Nian Xing: Bai Zhi Ao but mermaid and with the best insults you could ask for. Disabled siren who is surprisingly cunning. Really liked the focus on disability and pity and MC's patience with him.

Ye Yin Ju: Ah yes, the 'I was going to kill you but fell in love with you' arc... which is actually all about Yin Ju doing something for HIMSELF for the first time in his life. Which was really nice.

Tong Ying: Gosh... this could have been a tragedy. He was saved by MC in a previous life but forgot about it and joined the Evil Source to find out the identity of their savior... and almost killed him. He is aware that all other beasts are more favoured than him so he gets jealous a lot.

Mian:... sea monster turned puppet without a will. I... yeah, his backstory is sad but... he deserved a little bit more interactions with MC, especially when he is the one that did most psychological damage to him in his dreams...

Huan Sheng: He gets the role of MC's Deus Ex Machina for the first half of the book, then he turns into a cocoon because he's actually dying. Not the worst of the beasts.

Jue: Gosh, Jue. My Jue. The 12th beast, the one that doesn't even HOPE to be saved. The one that is taking care of the other 11, the Evil Source's right hand man, ready to do anything for Huan Sheng. Given than he's the last beast his relationship with MC is the most complex from both parties since there was really no time to develop it. He's also the only one that doesn't understand HOW MC can be that forgiving so that's nice.

[collapse]

In the end I had a good time.
Spoiler

And the ending with the beast getting into the modern world and live happily ever after with MC is all I wanted. but RIP MC's sleep pattern and waist, the beasts are thirsty af.

[collapse]

But
Spoiler

damn it would have made more sense for Jue and Huan Sheng to be a couple than part of the harem...

I persisted with this one because I hate stopping half-way through a story. But overall, would not recommend this. Really really low on logic and the MC is written in a very "floor-mat" kind of way, basically letting everyone walk all over him. Also, considering that the MC has very limited time with each of the beasts, and in half the cases, they spend that time abusing him, it's inconceivable how he falls in love with them for no rhyme or reason.

This tries to do a "s*x with multiple partners"... more>> thing but even that is so horribly done. One person being constantly abused and blood flowing down their legs is not my idea of an enjoyable read. "The Reader and the Protagonist must be in true love" kind of sets the standard for what that kind of story should be like and this doesn't hold a candle to that. <<less

After I finished reading this, it felt like the whole thing was a dream. Everything just sort of happens and we (the readers along with the MC) have no idea what's going on. The MC just sort of goes with the flow, like a river, as he makes his journey. Everything feels so detached from reality. The world and the characters that the MC encounters are so mysterious. Some of places that the MC visits is described so beautifully while others are just so graphic and unpleasant. As the MC... more>> gets to know these characters and their stories are revealed, I couldn't help but feel moved by it all. But we only get a little glimpse into some of these characters and I wish the novel could have brought out more about them.

Nothing is clearly explained even after the novel ends: the purpose of the MC's journey, the mysteries behind the sacred beasts. None of it. It seems like much of what has happened in the novel is meant to be left to reader's interpretation as to what they read. My main gripes about this novel, however, is how abrupt the ending was. I did enjoy the specials though. I wish there was one for every character instead of just two. Overall, I found this novel to be an enjoyable read. It's not particular outstanding though. I don't think too much behind the meaning behind it all, I just go with the flow and follow the MC through his journey. It has a significant fantasy element that makes the reading feel so magical and horrific. <<less

This story is really violent (rape, blood,..) but that's not what bother me the most. I would say that it's a little repetitive.

I haven't finished the novel yet so I can be wrong but the fact that the MC is r*ped in all the Palaces... I really like the characters of the Twelve Beasts, they all have their weakness and soft point but, does the MC really has to be abused this way? The fact that he is r*ped isn't really the worst part, just... I don't know. MC being always r*ped and tortured and all and yet, he loves each beasts. I think it's kind the Stockholm syndrome but meh.

Anyway, a good novel with various endearing characters! <<less

Let’s be honest, this novel is not for all. Be aware of tags. If you are too tender - it might cause trauma. Still, this is a good story. Maybe not many can find how good is this becomes of this bloody beginning. Don’t know. But I read it in one go, and this is a worthy story.

The story is much more deep that it may look like at the first glance. It will provide you a moments to cry, to think about how fair/not this world, how some small... more>> mistake can lead to ruin and some small kindness can save life.

So, where do we start?

We have a main character, who is a vet with fear of animals. And he is happened to be the one to visit all of the 12 sacred beasts. It’s a challenge.

There is a big amount of angst here. All of the MLs have a tragic past, especially at the story starts. I cried my eyes our for poor Canine. And not only for him. Every one of them is carrying their own trauma and sin.

All of them are developing though the story, in their own way. We can even find a new sides of each.

The MC is undergoing the biggest changes. Though the story he is faces with many unfortunate events, and his kindness is saving all of the MLs, and they - in torn - save him and gave him will you live.

Before coming to this world he was just a vet with big amount of fears and problems, his life was not easy. After - his life is even worse, but he has a will to live. He found out what he wants, why he wants to live.

Though he is there to save the world, you will not see in him this selfless stuff. He clearly understood that he doesn’t care about the world, but he cares for his people. It was a good side of the MC for me. It would be to hypothetic if he would push just to save the world, at least for me. Especially, when he has no gain or motivation to this.

The story gave me a big amount of new thoughts. How we life, why, how many different life and experiences there around us. I like this story.

Also, I didn’t face any discomfort reading all of those tortures and r*pes, it was not that graphic and I didn’t feel much. So, not that scary actually.

Recommend to try, if you feel like this is your cup of tea. But be ready for not a light read. <<less

The plot, though it has its fantastical and action-y moments, lacks enough logic and pacing to be that immersive or believable. The harem-collection element is also not very believable, most of the MLs fall in love pretty much instantaneously, and it doesn't make sense.

Not a bad story. The start was kinda boring but it gets better after 2-3 chapters. It would have been better if the story has more depth in to it. And more detailed. Like, how the gongs just fell in love with MC without MC doing much.

First of all, for anyone who mentioned said that the MC has the Stockholm syndrome, WELL THAT IS KIND OF TRUE. Maybe this is just a different point of view, but for me personally, I'd say that the MC fell in love too quick with each of the beasts because he pities them 0_0 as a vet and as a man. For the last two main "villains" behind the scene, well, I find it to be unnecessary.

[collapse]

Some says that the story is confused. I think that is just because of the translation itself. It is not about the quality but the difference, sometimes there are words that can not be translated and keep its true meaning at the same -o-

This story has a SM tag is just because the characters use the SM elements, but it's still ok to read --v-- It is much more of a dark fantasy coming-to-age novel but it's still enjoyable to read when you want a NP novel.

I was hesitant to read it first until I've the spoiler that it has a good ending. Sadly, I can't give a review that has more depth. I failed my technical writing course in college so my comment may appear shallow.

I had to admit that it is a bit difficult to read and half of the time I can't figure out what is going on. I am going to re-read this again so I can understand it better. I know some find the smut scenes cringy but I don't find... more>> it too graphic. It may have been because I was briskly reading it but so far I find it okay. I've read and seen worst situation than the one that is written here that's why I still find it tolerable.

I'm also having a hard time understanding the MC. However, I don't think that it is because of the MC himself but mostly because I find the descriptions too short. It doesn't explain everything much and the expression of the characters should have been written more but seems to have been rush. I think that there should have been more but was cut short for whatever reason.

Regardless, I find the story really good. I'm not the type to like too long novels but I still wish that there could have more of this story. The ending is abrupt. A more description of their lives and backgrounds should have been added. I'm going to read this again and see if I can find anything that I would have missed. Hope that others can give this a chance as well. <<less

This novel is so good, I really love'd it. 😉

I wish there could me more special episodes or another a part 2 of the novel of their lives at the modern world. 😔

Just like stated in the tags and genre's there are r*pe's and some gore stuff happenin' here, but fret not because even if it did its still likeable and readable. 😁👍

I dont know how to express it but let me say it based on my experience on other novels I've read with r*pe, gore, etc. Tags and genre,... more>> the'y just feel so wrong... like their making or forcing the MC too much and theirs a thick scent of absurdity and realism that im too much into it that its really very repulsive, although im not saying its bad im also not saying its good. 🤢

But this novel even when I've read the r*pe scene it wasn't repulsive just like a real fiction all while being smooth, I've even cried on that part.🤧

The yandere part is I dont know but it did have some aggressive male leads- I mean lets be real almost all of them are, they're also jealous of each other but its they all get along too well and they dont fight that's what's makes this Harem genre much more likeable.😎

  1. Also the harem is real, im just saying because the novels I've read with harem genre or tags are scam, it wasnt a harem just multiple love interest or suitors. 😘
Spoiler
[collapse]

The MC ended up with the 12 of them, thats why I say its a real harem!! Long live the Harem genre and tags!! 😍😍

Its also very sweet and so funny yet so tear jerking sad. 😢😭

This novel is so good I finished it in one day, and here I am asking for more. 🙏

I hope Ms/Mr. Author can make another story of them or someone who would like too just hope to send me the story! Pls. 😭🙏

Anyway, thank you Ms/Mr. Author for your wonderful work and creative mind, thank you too Ms/Mr. Translator & Editor for your hard work!! ❤❤ <<less

As seen from the tags, this novel has a lot of smut but also some plot. Honestly I would hv rated this higher if not for mc's certain illogical behaviour and the abrupt ending.

1. MC has a huge harem of 12 magical beasts. Some are okay but some DEFINITELY ARE NOT. Like the author made the MC somehow "fall in love" with every creature despite them barely hving any chemistry. E.g.... more>>
Spoiler

Jue (qilin), (werewolf), and Mian (octopus)

[collapse]
It feels more like little kids tagging to their kindergarten teacher than an actual romantic relationship...

2. Also MC spends a lot of time with some beasts vs spending like little to no time with other beasts. It rlly doesn't make sense for him to be attracted to them. MC behaves like a Saint - "Oh u r*ped and tortured me? Aww I feel so sorry for you I'm gonna risk my life to heal your past traumas ❤️❤️" I hate it so much !!

3. I feel like MC shld hv a harem of some but not all bc he does actually hv a logical and sweet relationship with some of them. My faves are

Bai Zhi Ao (dog), Huan Sheng (butterfly) the panther guy, the unicorn guy

I liked this story for the most part though there were parts I found that could have been expanded on more. If there was more depth to the interactions and events of each palace it would have made the chemistry more believable. There are some graphic scenes of gore, torture, s*x, etc so I would still call this 'pwp' as there is no chemistry buildup to a point where it would make sense. There is a good, interesting plot though that could have only been improved if there was more... more>> of it. <<less

Please heed the warnings - there is r*pe and torture. The author really dives into it quickly so if the first chapter is too much, please don’t continue.

This is a dark fantasy novel that has an intriguing premise: many gongs to one shou. The MC is a gifted veterinarian named Gu Ting Yu who is, ironically, afraid of animals. Through mysterious circumstances, Gu Ting Yu is transported to a fantastical world where he is sent to pass through the Palaces of the Twelve Sacred Beasts to tame the beasts.

Each palace... more>> has a unique beast - some are endearing, some are terrifying, and all are intense. Each beast has a personal grief and a sad backstory for becoming a Sacred Beast.

Spoiler

The MC has a huge heart and an endless capacity for empathy so he ends up loving the beasts even though he really suffers in the hands of some of them. The author doesn’t go into the detail of how he falls in love, but it can be explained by the MC’s inherent nature - his experiences of pain and forgiveness parallels a certain major religious figure.

[collapse]

Overall, five stars for the gripping story - you never know to expect!

And an A++ to the translators who added warnings to the chapters! <<less
