Oh? Is this the manga to 'I am my own summoned beast' on babelnovel? If so, is there anyway to read the rest of the novel -

The source material for this is fun, my biggest issue with this adaptation isn't unique to it though. This manhua suffers from the blight known as; Supporting male character in the source material who is a bro? Better gender bend them into a waifu with giant booba and vaguely hint that she wants to fuck the MC

I just can't because it turns the supporting cast into 95% female

While that's completely fair and I'd be down for a bro in the story, personally, I see that as an absolute win. I like seeing all cute girls so I might love this.

I’ve tried to read this twice and got bored around the zombies being introduced both times.

This is a pretty generic, ‘gain power to get more power’, and ‘there is always a bigger fish’/‘villain of the week’ setup and it’s disappointing to see.

What this really needed was more restrictions and fewer bad guys.

The contract yourself thing is great. That should have let him get the netherborn thing. That’s all he needed. Netherborn is probably going to be so overpowered at higher levels it makes everything else useless. All the extra abilities water down what could have been a great fear based hero power set.

As for the villains, they are structured like long term, complicated, political ememies. They are treated like villains of the week.

Perfectly disguised demon foxes that have ruled the city for 200 years? Yeah they are being manipulated by a human clan and stop being a real threat at the end of arc one. The human clan? Being manipulated by a village outside city limits. I’m not sure they were ever really a threat. That village? No idea I lost interest I bet it’s dumb.

This needed a genre shift to really shine. This should have been horror/mystery. Or at least mystery/thriller. Tone down the power levels, make the monsters more threatening, start smaller. Only he can see them properly. Humans misunderstanding what he’s attacking should have been his greatest threat for the first arc. There are way too many foxes in that city for them all to be eating free range. There have to be farms. Massive industrial human farms. Where they eat the children, because humans take to long to grow. Pure practicality. Eating adults is something only the rich and influential foxes would get to do.

See how horrifying the foxes get when you add just a dash of practicallity to them? The first 10-20 chapters have so much potential to them.
