The F-Rank Foot Soldier Became An S-Rank Monster Rancher, Volume 1

Rise of the Weakest Tamer

By: Sebastian Guzman

Narrated by: Rhys David, June Aaron

Riven Wrangleman is about to plummet into a new, monster-filled (hopefully) peaceful life.

F-Rank Foot soldier Riven Wrangleman has been shot out of the known world by humanity's worst enemy.

He falls through the sky, plummeting to his death except... He nullifies Fall Damage with his F-Rank Skill.

Battered, bleeding, and starving, Riven lies on the floor. But the danger isn't over.

A slime approaches.

He would be eaten... Except he isn't.

And so, Riven finds himself in a strange jungle, far from the known world, still alive and breathing. His Skills have been augmented in a shocking turn of events, and he can tame monsters now. Defeated, both physically and mentally, and with no way of making it back to the known world, Riven comes to terms that he is by all means retired.

No more soldiering, it's back to basics.

With his first tamed monsters, an exploring Slime and a giant Spider, Riven sets out to build a home for himself and thrive in this strange land.

Taming monsters, building homes, refining fruits, breeding slimes--erm, wait, no one's supposed to know that last one. Ahem, it's a whole new life for Riven Wrangleman.

Meanwhile, the land's biggest and most beautiful secret waits for someone to come rouse her. Should she return, the world will be forever changed. Riven's world most of all.

A heart-warming, monster-raising life is right around the corner for Riven to take.

The F-Rank Foot Soldier Became An S-Rank Monster Rancher is a light-hearted story of new beginnings and new potentials. Follow Riven as he makes the best of his forced retirement, tames monsters, finds friends, and uncovers the mysteries surrounding the world.

Surprisingly, very good

I’d be the first to admit at first I give it a pass especially any recommendations from Reddit can be a hit or miss, give it a try and it’s very enjoyable strongly recommend
Do hope and wish someone can be stoned free wink wink

Great start to a new world

The voice acting is very good, the author definitely likes a go with the flow type main character, and strong female leads. works well in this story. cant wait for book two. although im not waiting long haha.

I love the writing style and world building an relationships are awesome!

Sooooo freaking good! please keep writing, this is worth more then four bucks. give this read.

Decent isekai not isekai

Middle aged man get punted to deserted island via maou magic. Various creatures and monster girls appear as the main character base builds. Fairly standard with enough twists on the genre to keep it interesting.

The story is unusual as the antagonist is mostly mental. Conversations occur both verbally and less so, which helps with pacing over the more typical he said she said routine.

I will not pick up the next volume due to character bloat that will water down the interpersonal interactions (especially after what happens near the end.) Also, the main character has no real motivations, which will make the next books boring and repetitive.

Gold

This one was pretty good. Waiting on the next book.
The mc. Not a whiner. Had some issues, worked on them through out the whole story.
World building. They went into magic a little. Just enough to keep it interesting.
Adult / story ratio was on point. Just enough to add to the story.

Performance was good.
