Synopsis :
A human soul reincarnated into the AU world of 'The Lion King'. He was reborn as the twin brother of the crowned prince Simba.
He was forced to survive in a cruel version of the Disney world, where the weak are hunted, mercy is rare, and strength is the only law. Amid the roar of fallen Kings, Leo carved his path as a force of nature.
He was known for his strength, his dominance, his kingdom, his pride and his achievements.
But most of all, he was known as the true Lion King.
For he was not a born-king but a forged-king.
Through trials, through setbacks, through loss, through pain and through blood.
He only came out stronger.

I'm getting tired of these magic, system, supernatural overpowered fantasy stuff. So this was my attempt to bringing us back to something more primal and realistic. There will be no system, magic or other stuff. it's just a human becoming a lion and then turning himself into a savage motherfucking beast.
Before you read the story, keep in mind that this lion has no tail he's a handicapped lion. I understand the author had a reason for this, but realistically, a lion without a tail could be considered one of the weakest lions. I mean it. If you understand the purpose of a lion’s tail, you’ll know it's primarily used for balance, especially when moving across uneven terrain or making sharp turns while running. It's also an important tool for communication and signaling emotions within the pride. I know this pathetic lion is meant to become king, but come on! How can you be a great king if you struggle to communicate? A lion without a tail is like a person with a communication disability—how can they lead effectively? But he can talk...-_- really? this is Lion fiction not human fiction 🤬 👎 Author be better be realistic if you want to create a great lion don't remove it's tail.
chapters 1-6 are decent and follow the vision the author laid out. MC is realistic and has no system to help. however on chapter 7, the author trashed the novel by making the Mc a cripple with no tail and somehow against all the odds in the universe having the Mc as a lion cub fight and beat an adult leopard. even if it's a human mind in the body of a lion cub, the ability to do that is outside the boundaries of realism. author Even tried to explain removing the tail as "removing a weakness, same with what's done to hunting dogs". usually I let things slide, but not this time. felines need their tail and now he's disfigured and majorly nerfed for no actual good reason. just the wounds alone he got is enough for infection to set in and kill him off. you cannot use reasoning for canines for felines. I really recommend going back and either editing the chapter or just deleting chapter 7 and starting fresh. this ain't it bro, you ain't cooking on this one.
This story is interesting and different, and that's why it caught my attention. I've read other stories by this author and I realized that both have a problem: the lack of development of the world, or as they say here, a global context. Author, you're very good at fight scenes and ideas, but man, your world is gray. I'm not a writer, but I think that at the beginning of this story you could have done a "slow burn" allowing us to see the protagonist's first fights, talk to other characters and so on. Another thing is the lack of a "general point of view" and "other characters' point of view". This may not seem like a big deal, but if the main character's point of view is not well done, the world becomes gray. I don't care about the other characters, they're like those NPCs in Skyrim who only say two or three lines, and if they die, it doesn't matter. Like, Mufasa has two or three lines, and some minor mentions, the main character's mother 5 times, and the others, almost nothing. As if Mufasa's death was expected, but it doesn't change anything in the story. If MC's mother dies, it doesn't matter. There are at least 5 lionesses and more than 6 cubs, but as I said, if something happens to them, it doesn't matter. They don't talk, they don't think, they don't interact. As a spoiler here: But MC is the strongest of the cubs, but Simba is the "crown prince", but that doesn't matter. They don't talk about how this could influence the future of the pride, if it could lead to a fight in the future. Or how they say that hunting rabbits is hard, but look, MC catches a lot, but guess what... nobody talks about that, nobody talks about the fact that a disabled cub (without a tail, which is a big problem) can hunt, he's the first one, by the way, but they don't talk about anything. Or when he survived against a cheetah, like imagine your 6 year old son fighting a young adult and coming out alive, and not only that, but he not only survived, but he also has the blood of the attacker, as if he were a child, and he won! But guess what... nobody talks about it, they don't talk about it, they don't discuss it, nothing. It's like they don't care, like nothing happened. And that's boring and makes everything irrelevant.
You know it's already going to be a banger if it's written by Emmanuel.
sigh I'll tell you what I feel until chapter 6 I really liked the story I thought it was ok when I read chapter 7 at the beginning I agreed with you that it was taking away a weakness but after I learned from my fellow readers how important a tail was for a lion and after I saw what a lion looked like without a tail it broke me So I decided to stop there Honestly I'm sad it's like you expect a lot from something but in the end sigh
There aren't many Lion King fan stories out there and each one is a treasure. Since the author of this novel is a Capricorn, what do you expect other than a masterpiece? The beginning may be difficult, but I know it will get better. Thank you.
Saw the afterword from the Demon Slayer fic and I immediately rushed over here. It’s kinda funny how much faith I have in this author cooking up the best shit on this platform. Haven’t read it yet, but it’s definitely gonna be good. I’m excited.
I was very intrigued by another Lion King Fanfic, since they are very rare. I wrote Lion King: Son of Mufasa, which has the same premise, which made me more interested in reading this. although the premiss is the same, the story and the feel is completely different. My story has a more Disney feel to it, while this is a more brutal, animalistic story. It's different but in a good way, and an enjoyable read so far. 4/5 stars so far! the best part is probably that Leo accepts himself as a lion. he is not a human in lion skin, no, he is a lion who was once a human. there is a subtle difference that makes a huge difference. for example, as a cub, he finds the idea of mating with lions, quite disgusting, however he also accepts that as soon as puberty hits and hormones kick in, he will probably love mating with lions. He also accepts the gore s being a lion. there is no unnecessary moral dilemma about being a lion, which really makes this enjoyable to read.
I really enjoyed your demon slayer story but not every story needs a disabled protag especially in a story like this where mc is an animal. I didn't carry any expectations going into this but the first few chapters were pretty good so I thought it was gonna be another banger but I was wrong. The mc is also pretty unlikeable and acts egotistical so much so that I sometimes find myself rooting for simba. Scar also doesn't pose a huge threat especially after mc defeated a leopard when he a child. Simba ran away after mufasa died but he learnt to survive on his own but mc here stays like a little cuck when he has no need to. Like I get the need for "realism" but why would a god damn former human live like a little bit*h with animals when he can use his human brain to thrive in the wild. Overall this story feels like a mess but I will stick around for a while as there are worse stories on this site that I sit through. Here's hoping it gets better.
This is the fifth story by this author that I've started reading, and the most ridiculous thing is, this is the fifth story that I'm dropping again. To be honest, I don't even know what I was counting on. On the one hand, I really like his work, but on the other... They either genuinely hate their own main characters. Or he just really likes to turn everything around him into a drama. I guess the thing is that I didn't expect it to happen so early.
author stop deleting critics comments even if it seems stupid you can't expect to write a fanfic and not let others rate you poorly any critical truth you delete it so that u can stay up on the ranking that's not integrity that's pathetic and being beyond low
There are not enough chapters for a proper review, but considering who the author is,I am inclined to believe it is another masterpiece. Lord knows this app needs some creativity, and what's more creative than 'realistifying' one of the most popular children's movie. Looking forward for more. I do wonder tho, If Leo will create his own prife or takeover Mufasa's.
The novel brings a breath of fresh air into the fanfic genre. While other writers are translating Chinese novels or following mainstream trends, this writer is not. He tries to create something unique, he thinks out of the box and embodies his imagination. By far, this is the most unique and interesting novel in the fanfic genre.
Absolute peak 👌, another peak story from Emmanuel
