One reason could be that the fictional and imaginative elements in fantasy novels make them harder to analyze academically. Also, the genre might not align with traditional academic research interests and methodologies.

Maybe because fantasy novels are often seen as pure entertainment and not considered serious literature.

My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

Gary Smith arrived in a peculiar world of beastmasters, where an ancient taboo was reborn from the depth of time, and an evil god was lurking. In this world, birds and beasts, rivers and mountains, even elements could spawn spiritual power and turn into pet beasts. Among them, the powerful ones became ecological niches by themselves, radiating secret realm ecosystems such as the Yellow Spring, Skeleton Kingdom, Succubus Nest, and Kingdom of the Sky Tree, nurturing countless followers. The beastmasters make contracts with the pet beasts, nurture them, and control the spiritual power. After witnessing the "Taboo Sun" event, Gary Smith obtained the ability to extract materials from everything in the world and compile "Secret Food". Through the Evolutionary Secret Food, the combination of "The Shattered Dusk World" + "Ancient Dragon’s Dead Egg" results in the Feast of the End. When the pet beast consumes it, it evolves into the Dusk Dragon God. The Dusk Domain erodes the world, turning into the God at the end of time. The Skill Secret Food allows the pet beasts to plunder skills from everything, becoming omniscient and omnipotent. The Sacrificial Secret Food snatches the taboo time, sacrifices the ancient beings, and blasphemes against the gods. His style of beast control also started to become peculiar. There is the Spider Shadow that devours ancient dragons and weaves dreams of all lives with its threads, the Red Master that pollutes the multiverse, and the Devourer of the Realms, who consumes worlds... In response to this, he explained, "My pet beasts are just a bit peculiar. They really are not evil gods!"

Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Bro! You wouldn’t believe this! Everything was normal. Me and my bros doing some mining for mana gems for that old sockethole, Somanda like we always do all day, everyday. Me, Fractures, Bonet, Mono-socket, Broadbone and the gang. Then from nowhere, that ungrateful sockethole, Somanda tries to END me! Can you believe that?! I mean, I have told some questionable stories about him caressing my skull affectionately and deeming me his prized undead, but no need to axe a skeleton for something like that, right? RIGHT?! I managed to escape through one of the most convenient and contrived get-aways in all of undead history, even managing to pull a bony one on the Lich bastard by stealing two of his seemingly important possessions which I find out later to be better than I thought they’d be! From there it’s a just a SPIRAL of boneshit left and right! I can’t catch a break! What’s with this atrocious luck, bro?! A voice speaks to me about how I have qualified for something about a something that’s supposedly something’s something! Then I find myself in a new world that reeks of life and gives my bones a disgusted rattle. Powerful beasts and men are at every turn, all lining up to be a huge pain in my PELVIS! GAAAAH! Jeez this is happening too fast! However, even while I’m in the thick of this, the one saving grace is that I got something worth while! A new path of power! I can NOT be an undead! I can be something better than both the Living and the Dead! Immune to the antics from both sides. Well... most of them! I’m no longer on the path for Undeath! Only Lifelessness awaits me! I’m the one who transcends reality in this tale! I am... SKULLIUS! And I’m not an UNDEAD! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop? A: (Author) -Is this the same reader?! Anyway, I’ll give a range. Read a minimum of the first 20 chapters to a max of up to chapter 44 before you decide on anything too rash.

There are many reasons why scholars do not enter the official career. The following are some of the possible reasons: 1. Personal ideals: literati usually have the spirit of pursuing freedom, independence, and the pursuit of truth. They believe that their ideals and pursuits can be realized through scientific research and literary creation, rather than through political power. 2. Political darkness: In history, many literati deeply felt the darkness and corruption of politics. They believed that political power often led to the damage of individual and group interests. The intelligence of literati was often difficult to gain an advantage in political struggles, so they were unwilling to join political groups. 3. social pressure: literati are usually regarded as cultural elites in society, and their works are regarded as cultural representatives. If literati joined political groups, they might lose their social status and prestige, so they were unwilling to take such risks. 4. Not suitable for politics: Many literati think that politics is not suitable for their personal personality and values. For example, they may not like to communicate and cooperate with others or they may lack leadership skills and cannot play a role in political groups. There were many reasons why scholars did not become officials. Every scholar had their own reasons and choices.

The title of "Jushi" originated from the Buddhist culture of ancient China. In Buddhism,"householder" referred to a practitioner who was mainly engaged in agricultural production and charity and abided by Buddhist ethics and norms. In traditional Chinese culture, the term " layman " first appeared in The Analects of Confucius, which referred to those practitioners who did not pursue power and wealth but took charity and service as their main duty.

In novels, the term " householder " was often used to describe those practitioners who had charity and service as their main life goals, such as those who sought peace of mind in the secular world or those who volunteered and served in the city.
