The Monster King's Legacy

I still haven't read it yet and I totally didn't click on this novel due to the cover pic.

I did find interesting and plan to continue reading. Overall it's okay, it's a light read, lack some depth. At moment it has some problems, the story lacks good build-ups/development, seens too smooth sailing at moment, the MC has some dificulties at start, but it's resolved very soon and basically on their own, the MC seens very naive, the girls also. I think it lacks more conflict, more factions within the goblin tribe and more malice towards the MC in general, I would say that definetely needs to expand on the goblin culture, like how they live, what they believe, what events/celebrations they do and how they are, what they admire or dislike, even the goals of the female tribe, questions like they kidnap men the same way the male goblins do with females? At moment it's too superficial explained. spoiler* I think the decision to make the MC the chief of the tribe was very bad, it was too rushed in my opinion, it lacked a proper buil-up for that. The tribe was too accepting of this, it lacked more conflict here and the factions that I mentioned earlier. Also it was less believable, why a stranger with different race, culture, faith or lack off it, and with a suspicious background be choosen to lead the tribe... I think it could happen, with time and overcoming opposition, but not like written here. They want his knowledged, but they could obtain it with other ways or with more malicious means, so why would they surrender their power and authority? It would make more sense if he started as an advisor for the goblin chief/queen or maybe he could be accepted as chief with the basis in some god or something, like the MC being their apostole or envoy... It would make more beliavable spoiler* On character development of the girls, at moment Mira, Zarra and the balcksmith are okay, Rynne is also okay. I don't like Lia, she seens to become too close to the MC right of the bat, even like they already know each other, all they girls sort have this inexplicable closeness, but on Lia it's worst, and she seens very bland now, even more because she was the previous chief. I think it needs more development on how the MC and the girls evolve their relationship. Some thoughts on the future development of the story: concerned on how the MC will make his goblin kingdom, it will have more conflict and opposition or they will just accept it like him being the chief of the tribe? The MC seens to already be thinking on have contact or conflict with other races like beastfolk or humans, but it's seens crazy because he is on pile of sand now, very weak position to be. How they will survive the humans, more inteligent and malicious than their current enemies? How the MC will deal with betrayals and the polictics of his goblin/monster kingdom? Remembering he doesn't have no legitimacy, just a human crowing over monsters. I wish he could develop more before future conflicts. I will keep reading like I said, cheering for the story. OBS: English is not my primary language, so sorry if the review is poorly written.

Welcome, dear readers. Nothing much to say for now, except that this will be a fun and interesting journey, and I employ everyone to join in. Asks any questions under this, I'll answer all to the best of my ability.

Love the story so far and I hope to see more chapters 😁

Great story so far! I’m really looking forward to see how the story develops 🫡🫡🫡

Quite a good Story so far. The Writing Quality of this Novel is on the better side than most on Webnovel, and the Character and World Design are quite good so far. Its slow paced but not too slow to make you Bored. I'm also happy with the 18+ Content since its not 5 Chapters in and every 3 Chapters after that. Im looking for Novels and not pure 18+ Content, I'm fine with it being there since it allows stories to go deeper without skipping the more Mature Parts. Just don't let get in the Way of the Storytelling. 5 Stars so far, maybe I will edit it later since there are not enough Chapters out to judge if the "Lemons" will get out of hand.

I am hooked! I look everyday for another chapter to see if it’s posted. I highly recommend everyone take an opportunity to read this story.

Pretty good overall. Could use more interaction with outside races by now. but that's about it.

Going pretty well so far. Not giving it 5 stars as there is still room for improvement but definitely worth the read.

Pretty interesting so far, I curious to see what other ways there are the get stronger. I excited about the progression with other characters as well, maybe a bit more use of his magic to increase his rate of physical improvement.

did not like it. The main character wasn't to my liking the characters were also uninteresting.

Having read up to chapter 54, I shall bestow my thoughts to anyone willing to lend an ear. The story up to this point has been oddly descriptive, yet I cannot belittle it by calling the pacing slow. While the beginning was a bit rough, mostly because of the abrupt change in environment and the little resistance offered by the goblins in regards to accepting the protagonist into their village and later on promoting him, this does pave the way for a quick start, only needing a few chapters to delve into the story. The characters are a bit too quick to foster relationships, quite contradictory to the image of goblins the world has painted as shown by the depictions of the other races. Alas, one can excuse such oddities with the sheer drive for survival and the ability to cling onto any ropes thrown, be they golden fingers or humans from other worlds. What I do enjoy is the visible, but subtle racism towards goblins. As they are still a part of the 'intelligent' races, they are not viewed as mere beasts, but seen as lesser still. The protagonist has been quite reserved in opposition to my initial guesses. I am glad to see his abilities prove useful much more realistically than expected, using knowledge the likes of which everyone that is using this application ought to know. This has a powerful way of giving a hint of hope to the reader, as if signaling "You could do it too." It is refreshing to hear about a protagonist who is not as handsome as a devil or as well packed as an adult actor, excuse my unsightly comparison. As for where I would wish to see improvements, it boils down to two quite essential topics in my opinion. First, I would bring out the lax tensions between races. As previously mentioned, other races see goblins as, although intelligent, lesser beings. The story has already shown many instances of hostility, yet no foreign party has made a move. One could mention the mercenaries at the beginning, or even the catalyst of the whole reason the protagonist was accepted into the tribe, but I see these as mere forced actions to build trust between the tribe and the protagonist. One of the last chapters I read had an encounter, which while orchestrated by a being of clear authority from the shadows bringing light to something possibly supernatural taking place, that could, and in my humble opinion should, have ended with a much more devastating blow to our protagonist and his subordinates. In the future, I wish to witness more bold and brusque relations to bring forth the necessity for the 'sanctuary' while also reminding the reader and protagonist alike of the cruelty of the mortal world. The other development I am looking forward to, is the deepening of relations between the protagonist and his close retainers. The slow approach fits this novel well, don't get me wrong, however, the suggestive cover and description do raise expectations for many, myself included. I merely wish for the author to think about, as the story progresses, maximizing and normalizing intimacy between the aforementioned parties. I have sadly seen many stories where the initial relationship between love interests and the protagonist is in high spirits, whether intentionally or not, but begins to die down, rather than grow and evolve. While one could bring out the resemblance to most relationships in our world, I implore one to notice the fact that the sole reason we are reading such stories is to escape our reality, letting our minds wander between the dreams of a better future. All in all, for now, the story is solid. As the story is still quite in its infancy, my review is more like a suggestive analysis, which is meant to relay my feelings about it to the unsuspecting reader, wondering if it is worth their time. While my rating may seem harsh, I believe it to be reasonable due to the simple reason that no story is perfect. I am willing to state, however, that the potential of this story is immense and wish for the author to make it as long as possible. Even if the saying, better to die as a hero, than live to see yourself become a villain holds true, more so with stories, having bore witness to the skill of the author, I do not see the downfall of this tale appearing anytime soon. Happy reading!

Really well thought out story, I am looking forward to more.

I love how you start out in the beginning of the book and how you build the environment it's not just a gradual build up you leave allot of imagination on the table for us to take hold of as we read your story I'm really looking forward to reading more of this. you have a great start going here and you even give each character personality witch is rare to see this much of it in this much diversity. i also love how you went with a historical mythology version of dwarfs that have an accent really allowing you to pull the reader into your world. from what I see your story here has great potential and could probably take one of the top spots with time. i can't wait to read more and i wish you the best.
