"I Asked to be a Tamer in my Next Life, but This is a Little Too Much" update.
          
          Finished chapters 26 and 27. Introducing the last princess, who is a fox beastkin. I really kinda fell in love with her as i wrote it. Very fun chapters. There is some drama in there with some steam at the end. I'm pretty satisfied with it. It kinda messed with my heart a little writing it, and I finally passed out because I just couldn't think straight to write chapter 28.
          
          The next 5 or 6 chapters will be an epic dungeon dive with his little army of wives and mistresses. I always think writing these sort of things will be difficult and take a ton of time... Honestly, once I start going, it tends to flow out of me. It could all be done in two days, or it could take up to five.
          
           This story turned out to be far better and more fun to write than I expected. I'm really proud of it and especially of the way I used switching perspectives in third-person limited. I feel like it's just enough to be refreshing without becoming too complex to comprehend. 
          
          I can't wait to hear what other people think once it attracts some readers who like to comment.
          
          Well, have a great day and enjoy.
          

Added music to the chapters on "I Asked to be a Tamer in my Next Life, but This is a Little Too Much "
          
          Just for fun. Tried to match the music to the story, but ya. Enjoy  

Wooo chapter 25 is done and posted. I'm really, really happy with this chapter. It is a great start on this arc. A fight and a little steam. 

Welp, it did not take as long as I thought it would to be satisfied. I posted ch 23 and 24 ending the third story arc... let's call this arc - "the hero's acceptance arc". The arc had a lot of action and steam but only a little adventure. The next arc will be a ton of adventure and action with some steam mixed in. 
          
          Don't get it twisted. He might be one princess away from fulfilling the prophecy, but it won't be easy. The beastkin King is going to really make him work for it. He still has to visit the dark elf Queen and the troll King to gain their support as well. There could be conditions, too. 
          
          Just to recap - this storyline's arcs have been about eight chapters each so far. 
          
          The first story arc can be described as "The engagement arc" with a romantic conflict between him and two love interests.
          
          The second arc can be described as "The prophecy arc" when he discovers there is a vague prophecy surrounding him.
          
          The third arc can be described as "The hero's acceptance arc" when he finally decides to pursue his destiny.
          
          The next arc can be described as "The hero's challenge arc" when he is faced with many of his biggest challenges yet and must overcome them to fulfill the prophecy. 
          
          There might even be a 5th story arc, but we can wait and see how that turns out.
          
          

I really liked writing chapter 22, and Im satisfied with it, so i posted it. I finished chapter 23, but I'm gonna do some editing and probably write some on Chapter 24 before I update again. Expect them tomorrow or the next day.
          
          Good night, I'm beat. Enjoy, and have a great day!

Sorry for the long wait for chapter 21. The story is becoming more difficult to get right. I had tons of stuff to change and add in. I wanted the chapter to be written in a way that would satisfy readers. Anyone still reading it at chapter 21 deserves that much. The chapter is my least favorite so far, but it was important to the story and needed to be entertaining. Though, I figure chapter 20 will be the chapter people complain about due to the fact I bridged a little over three years of events.
          
          Some people like stories about attending schools - I am not one of those people. I apologize to anyone who is disappointed by the bridged schooling. I still refuse to fix it. This is not a magic school novel. It is a trashy/fantasy/harem/conquest novel. If that sounds interesting to you, then please give "I Asked to be a Tamer, but This is   a Little too Much" a read.
          
          Thank you for tuning in. 
          
          Enjoy and have a nice day.

Wrapped up the second arc with chapter 16. I'm not sure if I did it justice, but I still feel ready to move on. Chapter 17 might take a little longer. I'm still deciding how it's gonna go. 

Woot! My trashy harem novel has 14 chapters now, and I finished writing the trial. That's the bulk of the adventuring for this arc, but I'm very satisfied with it. 2-4 chapters left in this arc. I've got an idea of where the next chapter is headed, though.
          
          Enjoy! Have a great day! I'm going to sleep now.

So, I felt like the title wasn't good enough for my new story. I decided to rename it: "I Asked to be a Tamer in my Next Life, but This is a Little Too Much" . I also finished two more chapters, which are action-packed! 
          
          I'm honestly really starting to love this story. The latest updates roped in some classic tropes in a new way. Got the elves in the story now. Of course, there's some cryptic prophecy and a dungeon crawl with monsters. The next chapter will end the dungeon crawl with an epic boss fight. 
          
          Far as the harem aspect goes, it's starting to get a little more interesting as I added the classic "studious girl who isn't interested in romance at all". Of course, we already have the "loyal childhood friend girl" trope, the "girl he thought he didn't like"  trope, and the " kind and understanding yet prudish girl" trope. Next are the "fun girl who's a little crazy and hard to handle" trope, and the "super shy and pious girl" trope... I think there's a mystery girl in the mix, too. Haven't decided if I'm going to add her in yet. 
          
          honestly, the protagonist is exhausted and doesn't really wanna add to his harem circus, but who says I'm gonna let him off easy... it's been pretty fun writing it so far, and I think imma take it all the way.

Well, I ended up plowing through and finished 3 more chapters. I was feeling a little worried about the story cohesiveness, but I reread it all from the beginning, and I'm not so worried about it anymore. I don't think it's my best work or anything, but I felt like it had a satisfying hook and a solid conflict. 
          
          Overall, there wasn't anything super important missing, but I feel like it might have too many bridges... idk. I'm pretty good at showing my story's interesting parts and telling the boring parts that can't be left out, but I could be wrong this time - I don't really write this sort of story often. Either way, the story felt fun as I read it over, which is what I was aiming for. 
          
          The dialog felt especially solid and gave me the feeling it might draw the readers into the story. I realized I might have left out some description... I'm a little embarrassed now, but if I focus too much on the description and fix it, my chapter sizes will explode. I'm going to reread it again soon, specifically to look for the princess' eye color, though. I kinda freaked out halfway through the read, thinking, "Wait... did I skip over the princess' eye color completely? I can't do that she's a love interest..." Then I cried a little inside. 
          
          Welp, it's still a work in progress   .
