Evolving from a Saltwater Crocodile

If you can't be ruthless, don't write about mythical beasts. If you can't distinguish your stance, you'll please neither side.

Mythical beasts, uphold justice for yourselves! Choose the right side! Remove descriptions of humans, or at least subtly depict death. Those who report murders are just wasting their time; mythical beast stories aren't for you.

I've read the latest chapter, and I feel the author's earlier writing was quite good, with many parts handled very well. Then someone in the comments section said that taking care of the three baby crocodiles and helping others is a bit toxic, but I don't see anything wrong with it. The protagonist took care of the baby crocodiles to have them as his helpers.

That's truly awful! The protagonist only has one nanny, yet he has to wait on those crocodiles hand and foot.

Humans need to torture and kill animals to prove they are human. The beasts need to torture and kill humans to prove that they are beasts. Is the above correct? Where it's right, and where it's wrong. What needs to be added?

If the protagonist isn't human, then the villain can't be human either. I just want to ask why. You're a crocodile; your enemies can be birds, tigers, or dragons, but why can't they be humans? What's the difference between these animals and humans? From your perspective, aren't they just a group? Outsiders—do you need a reason to attack outsiders? Even close brothers keep clear accounts; if you help him, aren't you afraid of the farmer and the snake?

If I were a monster, I wouldn't let anyone see me when I'm weak, and when I become powerful, humanity should be extinct. Monsters don't need humans.

Ahem, fellow fans of the mythical beast genre, this is just the atmosphere on Qidian. Killing people might get you banned, but the author is probably a newbie. The protagonist is indeed a bit of a sycophant, though his behavior is relatively normal, but his mentality... The author probably doesn't understand that the mythical beast genre on Qidian is sustained by just a few enthusiasts. Hopefully, the author will figure it out eventually.

Speaking of which, I'm wondering how the author plans to write the later stages. In this modern society setting, the beginning is fine; you can write about natural combat. But what happens when the characters reach higher levels? Will you go for the old trope of spiritual energy revival, or an infinite flow story with map changes, or perhaps a mutation where they directly confront humans with…

Why not just turn yourself into a crocodile bag instead of fawning over humans?
