Synopsis

Shin, the last heir of a fallen Kitsune clan, roams the war-torn land of Essaterra, hunted by those who fear his bloodline. With his legendary blade, Yoshimatsu, and a mysterious transforming orb, he seeks vengeance and a way to reclaim his honor, but fate has other plans.



In the depths of human cruelty, he finds Laverna, a cunning yet broken slave. He saves her, not out of mercy, but because he sees something dangerous in her—a reflection of himself.



Forced to survive together, they navigate treacherous alliances, noble conspiracies, and an ancient evil stirring in the shadows. As Shin trains Laverna in the art of war, their bond deepens, walking the fine line between trust and something far more dangerous. Love is a risk neither can afford, where honor demands blood and the past refuses to stay buried.

A Gripping Fantasy You Shouldn’t Miss Look, I know what this is—a totally shameless ploy to hype up my own novel. But if I don’t talk about it, who will? 😏 Master and Fox isn’t just another fantasy novel—it’s a journey into a world of war, vengeance, and forbidden love, where every choice comes at a cost. This story weaves together rich world-building, deep character growth, and high-stakes conflict, all set in the beautifully crafted land of EssaTerra. At its heart, the novel follows Shin, a wandering noble forced into exile, and Laverna, a former slave seeking freedom. Their bond is one of survival, trust, and something more—something dangerous in a world where loyalty is fragile and love can be a weakness. Their dynamic is intense, emotional, and slow-burning, making every moment between them feel earned. If you enjoy: ✅ Tactical combat and strategy ✅ Complex protagonists with layered motivations ✅ A dark but immersive world where power is everything ✅ Master-disciple dynamics that evolve into something deeper ✅ A story that doesn’t hold back on betrayal, intrigue, and action Then Master and Fox is for you. Expect blades clashing, secrets unfolding, and an inevitable storm brewing between fate and free will. Is it perfect? Probably not. But is it worth your time? Well… there’s only one way to find out. Give it a shot, and if you like it, let’s talk about it. If you don’t, at least I tried. 😂

That was quite the pleasant read. You have very clean way of writing, both grammatically and format vise. The update rates are stable and the story development is while quite fast, fits the genre and the writing style well. There are always a room for improvement of course! but I really enjoyed reading it so far and am looking forward to more. The characters are interesting, especially your MC Shin. He is well characterized and I love how you write him. Keep it up! I want to read more!

I must say this is probably one of a few fantasy stories that seals the deal with its immersive, nuanced, and well-jointed experience with details yet still keeps its relevancy throughout each chapter. None of these descriptions feels like information-dumping. Rather, some sort of fragments that make up for the overview that can be vividly enjoyed by many others, as if you view the story in the lens of protagonist but concealed by the transparent barrier that wants you to stay in your seat, as if speaking, "No, you cannot go there because the story is about to unfold." Such a feeling then is struck into my mind as some sorts of projection. One where you can 'see' the battle, drama, or what ever left in store for the plot. If I have any critic, perhaps the way this story may sound tedious for new audience-alike, considering the fact it requires you to imagine and guide yourself to the experience without necessarily getting 'involved' to it. Another issue would be some spelling errors, but this is just a me problem if anything. However, this was covered by the dynamics between characters... no, I must say they are real people with real feelings, from their perversiion grosteque to their own primal origin, everything portrayed magnificently with the delay given for each dialogue balancing the lack of audience's involvement into a read-to-watch experience: People are forced to sit and watch the movie, while witnessing everything, from pain, tragedy, and suffering to its relief after overcoming all of those. Overall, an immersive story telling experience with such details that unravel the world-building throughout the reader's observation at the crime scene, along with its compelling narrative, turning all of these into a top-notch story that doesn't give you those flashy stuff to shine. Rather, such a story, slowly but sure, keeps its dim light away from others to protect itself but then eventually glows to be the brightest of a star. Alright, that's all.

The writing style in this book flows so well it is very well written. An incredible story, hope this author continues to write and readers will definitely be left on the edge of their seats or glued to the screen as the story unravels. Keep up the brilliant work!

This dark fantasy follows Shin (a fox-clan warrior) and Laverna (a fox-girl slave) in a world where magic and technology mix. The villains are actually awful - I found myself hating the Lichtenstein family with a passion. The scenes in their manor made me somewhat uncomfortable, but that made the rebellion scenes so satisfying. The world of Essaterra is really nice, with its own magic systems and mythology that feels fresh without being confusing. Fair warning, this gets dark . There's plenty of violence and disturbing content, but it serves the story rather than feeling gratuitous. The action scenes are good and the budding connection between the main characters has me interested. Looking forward to where it goes.
