Rejecting an Elite University Offer from the Start

This is a world where strange beasts invade and everyone can awaken a beast-taming space.

After three hundred years as a nation, where will Taixia go from here?

Which will become the focus of future development, land or sea?

Can humans and their tamed beasts coexist peacefully?

Should a “good” beast be bound by contract, or laid out on a chopping board?

How do you cook a tamed beast so it tastes delicious? (Struck through)

…

P.S. 1: This isn't an elf-centric story, though it does take inspiration from them. It's a semi-original beast-taming story.

P.S. 2: The pacing is slow, with a focus on everyday life and realism. (It's slice-of-life filler, so please don't flame me if that's not your thing.)

(The author's heart is fragile. You know the drill.)
