"I really like series similar to this with the Entralled, Heartstone Saga and the Celestine Chronicles. I don't write for a living, nor do I actually know how to write using the proper grammar. This is my thoughts, so the tend to ramble a bit.
Summery of my thoughts are at the bottom.
Pacing:
I could only force myself to get through 60% of this book because of its major pacing issues. One of the most frustrating things was how he kept jumping around into different characters thought's mid paragraph for a sentence or two to slow down the action then jumps back to the mc or the character's p.o.v who started. Along with that, there were no demarcations of when you jump forward, in time, so you could be reading about the mc finish doing something and in the next paragraph you will be fast forwarded. If something of note happened during the period you skip it will be explained in the next paragraphs or so. The book also suffers from a lack of pacing the action and non-action. Non-action parts seem to be rushed or skipped with the said method above, which causes a lot of world building to be completely disregarded (see world building for explanation). Most of the book is action upon action and when it is done right this can be a good thing, however there are no real goals, real plot progression (aside from getting more members of is tamed) and the pacing of individual fights. As an example of the latter (spoilers); In the beginning of the game the mc first spawns in he follows an NPC over 50 levels higher than him who is about to rape an "animus" (beast-kin). After he sees this he jumps from the tree he is hiding in and lands on his dick, which miraculously kills the NPC. It is the things like this and a lot more that seems to give him a real pass at doing anything meaningful to tame his "animus."
World Building:
Honestly there is little to none of it. In the amount I read there is only a real amount of exposition in the very beginning, and that is about the real world which isn't the world he inhabits for the rest of the book. Once in the game, there is no explanation of the game and how it works, the inhabitants of the game or anything along those lines. Everything just gets ignored or uses the excuse of "it is an early alpha build" which would be acceptable if this wasn't really shown to affect something it says it does. For example, it is told to us that most of the NPC's are limited, in their actions/thinking and only a small amount are comparable to people; yet everyone the mc interacts with shows no sign of these limits. There is nothing to show that this is the truth or it is a lie, so it feels like it is just thrown out there to give the world artificial depth. One of the other big world building faults I have is the complete lack of an explanation of the races. I can understand why the author didn't think to explain most of them, seeing as there are very few races that aren't pretty common in these genres of books or mythology, such as wolf-kin, lamia and centaurs. But when we are shown a new type of wolf-kin, supposedly part of a "legendary clan" there is no explanation of the race or what is does. This lack of real depth to the book really turned my off and not giving me any real connection to the world or characters.
This is supposed to be a lit-rpg type book but it only uses that title to really make somethings that happen make sense while ignoring larger parts of the genre that give the book a real pace, goal and gives the world around the mc depth. I agree with the suggestion of editors and beta-readers for this author. I don't know how you could logically fix the story without rewriting it, and I would like the author to do just that. If he/she does rewrite the book with the help of beta readers/an editor I think that they could really write a good book."

- I seem to have a very strange relationship to LitRPG stories or ones that started with a similar premise. There have been a few I have really liked, and where I felt that the RPG elements enhanced the overall story somehow. But others grate on me very quickly and I stop reading.
Sadly, this one was definitely a "I'm going to stop now before my kindle ends up getting an unplanned lesson in flight", I couldn't afford to purchase a replacement because of my frustration.
And I didn't get far into the story, only about 15% or so.
The issues were some of my usual with this genre, enhanced by what I felt was an unnecessary and almost pointless plot twist.
So this story started like many LitRPG stories do with the first few chapters "killing" the main character, but leaving him stranded in a game. It's a very common trope that I disliked the first time I encountered it and can barely tolerate even now. It's like the author wants to throw away anything about the main character to rebuild them into some uber powerful champion.
And this story did that in spades, even as it went out of its way to twist the plot to avoid any "Gary Stu/Mary Sue" style accusations. (Honestly, if you think you're going to write a Mary Sue, just write it. Don't try to throw in meaningless character flaws in a desperate attempt to conceal the fact that you've made your MC too powerful.")
It ended up that I disliked the MC, I disliked the first "program" he tamed, and by the time they reached the next plot point I was just unwilling to subject myself to mroe of the tale. It wasn't a tale that interested me anymore.
There is clear talent in the writing, but this story needed a lot of polish to make it bearable. - I really like series similar to this with the Entralled, Heartstone Saga and the Celestine Chronicles. I don't write for a living, nor do I actually know how to write using the proper grammar. This is my thoughts, so the tend to ramble a bit.

If he/she does rewrite the book with the help of beta readers/an editor I think that they could really write a good book. - I enjoyed reading this story. I found the characters and their personalities interesting and the action was great. Overall the writing was good but the story feels like it is missing the hand of a great editor. A big part of a true editor's job which I see happening far from often with self published authors is to provide literary criticism. Yes making corrects to prose, punctuation, and grammar are part of it. They are not the only part however. There are 2 main issues I had.
1st was that sometimes too much stuff was happening at once and it became hard to follow. This wasn't a big issue early on but by the end of the story where we are dealing with at one point 3-4 battles happening simultaneously it was bad.
2nd is that their is little downtime for more personal character development. This is something I often see happen in action heavy novels. It isn't a flaw per se as it is standard for the genre but I find it detrimental to the story as a whole. Often times after the action the characters would have some bonding time (and fun time) but this was often interrupted with comedy, more action, or scene changes. - The monster girls were very interesting. The transitions were a bit jolting for my tastes yet the read was very enjoyable overall. Environment and characters fit the story well enough that I look forward to the next book.
- I got a little over half way through the book before I was done. There isn't enough world building or info. The fights seen disjointed, and there were times where I was confused about what was going on. Then there was the part where the MC and a companion fight their way through a dungeon, and beat a boss; he is still level 1 at the end. Where other times he kills 1 enemy and gets multiple levels. The game mechanics don't make sense.
- I was intriqued by the concept of the world created here. The only thing keeping me from marking 5 stars was a bit of immersion loss from things like distances being glossed over or switching units. Those confused me a bit and brought me out of the story to rationalize. Otherwise a fun read... Just read at home... A bit too erotic for public.
