It's an interdimensional barrier, so it doesn't actually block the person within the dimension.

That means she can just move a couple of meters, and then leave the dimension. Unless, like I said, it moves with her. So you didn't actually answer anything.

this was shorter than my dick, what the fuck.

Thank you for the (very short) chapter!

And you answered it yourself...

 

[AnotherDuck]

And apparently it wasn't clear to you the first time around, since you had to question it, so I just repeated myself.

BREEDING WITH GHOST

That barrier looked way smaller than the room, and only containing her. But it apparently moves with her?.

Effectively, yes, barrier moves with her... Or it was "momentarily" effective, but that was enough to stop her from leaving to the Astral plane, which allowed the MC to control her.
Hard to say really. It could even be that they placed the barrier around the entire house, but for the sake of "visual representation" "showed" the "box"...

What really confuses me is the MC's title/ability... I would have asked what the Japanese word or words used were, but it's literally straight English... He's a "beast tamer." So... I guess that anything in their world that isn't explicitly human is a "beast?"

Sometimes elves are grouped with "beasts." Most of that time they use the term "demi-humans" in those situations, but not always. Or whatever the original Japanese is.

Sigh. Sometimes I really hate typing comments on my phone.
I just lost a good amount of time writing a response because it "unloaded" this tab.

In a nutshell: yes. I don't really like "demi" because it implies "lesser". I prefer "meta" because it implies "more than" or "in addition to".
And what caused the tab to be unloaded was me trying to find a Wiki that listed the MC's companions and their species... I believe that the sisters (twins) are fairies, but wasn't sure so I tried looking it up...

But, I would be quite curious to know what the original Japanese is. I mean it's also often translated as "tribe" FFS...

It doesn't auto-save the draft?

I think it depends on where it comes from. If it's a racist society "demi" makes perfect sense. It's not what we would use, but it is what they would use.

But generally I prefer to not call them anything human. They're not human, so they should be called by what they are. I also in general dislike terms like half-"whatever race that's not human", since it's so human-centric. Humans might use it, but other races probably wouldn't, in particular the other race.

Sadly it doesn't save...

I can certainly see that from a racist society... Or, really, a species-ist society... (But "species" implies that they can't breed with humans, etc, and produce offspring that can also breed - see donkey/horse, lion/tiger, etc).

While I do certainly understand your perspective on using "half"- as a descriptor, I think it's still relevant. A creature may be half human half (other), or half (other) and half (other other). Basically a half elf isn't automatically half elf and half human. They could be half elf and half dwarf.

Spoiler: A bit of science for our fiction

This ties into "species," which is only relevant here as a descriptor because of how it defines two creatures and their ability to produce offspring (as above). Two creatures that are "close" but not "enough" may be able to produce offspring, but their offspring won't be able to produce more. Two creatures are effectively considered the "same species" if their offspring can also produce offspring. (This is of course in our universe, other universes may have different priorities (such as gods) that override genetics...)
In this sense, so long as genetics exist and aren't overridden by some "higher power" (one story stated that producing children was through the "mixing of souls"), anything that can produce offspring with humans would technically be part of the "homo," uh, ... ok, my knowledge of genetic terminology is failing me, family(?)... well, what ever it's called. The same "branch" of animals that homosapiens, Homo erectus, neanderthals, etc, are part of (I vaguely recall that it's believed that homosapiens and neanderthals were able to produce viable offspring).
So, IF that were the case, and elf's, dwarves, and so forth were able to bear children that could further bear children, it could be argued that they are (in the sense that neanderthals were human) human. i.e. a different "race."
Otherwise they would be a completely different species.

But, since these beings don't exist and we (as of yet) can't go to these "other worlds) it's impossible to say...

 

[AnotherDuck]

Yeah, the distinction between "race" and "species" in fantasy is a bit non-existent. They'd probably be classified as sub-species scientifically.

While I do certainly understand your perspective on using "half"- as a descriptor, I think it's still relevant. A creature may be half human half (other), or half (other) and half (other other). Basically a half elf isn't automatically half elf and half human. They could be half elf and half dwarf.

But that's the thing—they're always assumed to be half-human. If they aren't, they're always said to be half-this, half-that.

What the fuck, where is the rest of it? Author, if you aren't going to give a full chapter, don't force a mini chapter on us just so that your series can stay relevant.
