Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses?

My Thoughts on Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses?

This web novel, "Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses?" definitely piqued my interest with its unique premise. I dove in hoping for something special, and while it wasn't a home run, it certainly held my attention.

First Impressions

Initially, I was a bit wary. The "end of era" setting, where modern life gets a fantasy-infused shakeup with tamers and beasts, felt like well-trodden ground. I've read a few novels in this vein, and they often fall into predictable patterns. Thankfully, this one surprised me. It's not groundbreaking, but it's a definite step above the usual mindless fare that can sometimes dominate the web novel landscape.

What Works Well

The comedy is a strong point. The main character isn't just some overpowered brute; he actually uses his brain, strategizing and planning ahead. I appreciated the author's effort to build the plot around the MC's clever arrangements rather than relying on convenient, out-of-nowhere power-ups. The world-building, while not revolutionary, is solid and provides a decent backdrop for the story to unfold.

Areas of Concern

I did find some aspects less appealing. The harem element is present, and I felt the love interests could benefit from more depth. It seemed like the author focused most of their attention on character development up to the point where the MC "secures" the relationship, and then the characters became a little less defined.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses?" is a decent read if you're looking for something to pass the time. It's not going to blow your mind, but it offers a more strategic and humorous take on the monster-taming genre than I initially expected. Just be aware of the potential pitfalls like the harem, netori, and amnesia plotline. If you can overlook those, you might find yourself enjoying this one.
