Beast Taming Starts with a Stone

System novels all have a fatal flaw: what is the ultimate goal of the system creator? Is it possible that the system was created simply to facilitate the exploitation of its hosts? The moment the host matures, it's consumed by the system creator as a tonic? Isn't the goal of cultivation to transcend constraints, to transcend the limitations of life and power? When someone is parasitized by a system, doesn't that make them a pig being raised in a pen?

Perhaps to avoid clichés, the author created a rather hellish start: poverty and poor talent. Most stories, no matter how difficult the beginning, at least have a cheat code or a direct power-up. This author, perhaps to be different, gave her a poor talent, then comforted her by saying that talent doesn't matter. But was it really necessary to create a talent?

The disconnect is quite severe. The female lead hasn't done anything particularly impressive—she doesn't have any powerful cheat codes, she's broke, and her luck is questionable—yet she inexplicably wins and levels up constantly, becoming even more powerful than other characters who are either talented or wealthy. I can't understand how she became so strong.

I can't draw, but this is barely passable. #Beast Taming Starts with Stones#

Before seeing the VIP chapters, could anyone give a heads-up about whether the author has improved in quality later on...? Here's a summary of the issues I've encountered so far: 1. It's too tiring to watch, and I can't even pinpoint the specific issues. It seems like the problem lies in the poor arrangement of details and summary.

The plot is so dry and lifeless. I don't know if it's the writing style, but the characters' dialogues feel like two wooden figures reciting lines without any emotion. 😰

Can someone kindly tell me if it starts from 199 and the rest is all murder mystery game plots? And it doesn't seem to be ending yet; it feels like there are more chapters than the protagonist's entire adventure.

What's going on with your comments section? I wanted to refer to some posts but couldn't find a single one.

That murder mystery game had such a long filler part; watching it was a waste of money. I wanted to see Xu Qingge and her pet's adventures, not a murder mystery game.

The beginning was confusing, including why the best friend didn't have her talent tested; the female lead saying it was better if it wasn't a high-level talent, which made me think it was a family that favored sons over daughters, but it wasn't; and some other inexplicable descriptions. In short, the plot was very nonsensical.
