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

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.

Surprisingly good story and Superb naration

I got this on a whim and was amazed by how good the story and voice acting was. I found the characters quite compelling and entertaining. The setting is fascinating and I look forward to reading the next volume!

I loved the story, however the performance put it over the top.

amazing performance, Mr. David just nailed the character, and the story is captivating, the sex scenes were actually done quite well and appropriately both subtle and straight forward when they are supposed to be.

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.

Can we stop trying to make undead attractive?

The story itself is interesting even if it seems a bit roundabout. Just wish the author wasn't going miles out of his way to make an undead corpse seem attractive, especially when it seems to be the main active love interest in the first book.

Slow start but picks up and is enjoyable.

Ok so I now have a weird statue fetish so thanks book. The comedy is great but slow to start but I was laughing my head off. The story is engaging and interesting and I can't wait to read more.

Good story so far

Great story and characters so far did have some issues with the main character at points saying some really cringy things but overall not a bad start for what could be a great adventure.

Great story

For pure entertainment value this is a great production. In this book the reader never wants to hurry part or feel like you are lacking info on purpose . Natural mystery is much better than leaving things out on purpose. I hate the feeling like I know what is going to happen. Nice writing style. On to book 2
