   The first book, featuring raising and taming beasts, is the most enjoyable lord-themed survival and raising novel I've ever read. The second one is quite interesting, with the protagonist awakening all sorts of goblins. The third and fourth books have interesting settings. The fifth one has nothing to do with the title; I just wanted to recommend it because such a sweet book shouldn't be read by myself.

   The Immortal Path of the Insect Emperor | Taming Beasts to Subdue Heaven and Earth, One Man Conquers the World! At the grand gathering on the grasslands, a million cultivators held their breath! Ye Lin slowly stepped forward, his tone calm yet concealing a overwhelming power. He declared his grand plan to unify the grasslands and issued a shocking challenge to the entire audience—all the Nascent Soul stage experts from the two sects, five clans, and the Holy Sect were to come forth! Five hundred Immortal Essence Stones and three low-grade Dao artifacts were wagered; a single battle would determine life or death! Defeat would result in the bestowal of treasures; victory would mean all forces bowing down and joining the righteous alliance! The Holy Sect's patriarch was shocked and enraged, denouncing Ye Lin's audacity, unaware that Ye Lin's confidence stemmed from the Insect Emperor's heaven-defying power of taming beasts! Thousands of ferocious insects lay in wait, the Insect Emperor's bloodline overwhelming the heavens. Even a combined might of powerful figures would be no match for the boundless swarm of insects! No boastful words, no arrogance, for the power of taming beasts had already overwhelmed the world! In this battle, Ye Lin, with the might of the Insect Emperor, fought against all the heroes alone, overturned the grassland pattern with his own strength, broke through the path to immortality, and forged an immortal legend!

    The story I watched before involved a male protagonist who transmigrated to a world of beast taming. He took a different path, choosing to control machinery. While others fought by summoning spirit beasts, he summoned mechs. While others chose spirit horses for transportation, he built motorcycles. In battle, he could even transform into a humanoid mech to deliver devastating blows to his opponents. What was good was that his power-ups weren't too overpowered; his true form mainly relied on his own physical training. I clearly remember that when I watched it, it mentioned that because the protagonist had been working at the blacksmith's shop, he became as dark as charcoal, and people constantly bothered him with crickets.

    I initially started liking beast-taming novels with "Pet Charm," and the following are also worth checking out as they are different types. The first one is a gradual progression; those with patience can read it carefully. The second one is about two people and is slightly sweet. The third and fourth are mindless, fast-paced stories. The fifth one, I've read a few hundred chapters of, and it's alright. Lately, I've been reading ensemble novels.
