Synopsis
A monster is born in the depths of the wilds, but she's a little different from her siblings. She looks upon the world and finds wonder and awe in what she sees. Curiosity drives her forward, while her siblings seem content to just eat and sleep. She strives to learn about the world, but finds herself alone in her wanting.
Discovery is wonderful, but what's the point if there's no one to share it with?
There must be others like her around somewhere.
A story of friendship, discovery, loss, and self-actualization.
The main version is over at Royal Road, and it may see edits/updates that don't make it here.

It's a great read, sadly tho, not my cup of tea. It was enjoyable don't get me wrong, the feeling and essence of the webnovel is done right and feels great. Just this type of story ain't my cup of tea. The main character is a beast that has the potential to become sapient (showcase emotion, seek culture) from the start, from the view point of a newborn beast that doesn't know much of the world it was quite a unique and fun trip, and I would read more if I was only more interested in this genre at this current point in time. Great read, I would recommend potential readers to give it a shot, it may even give you some sort of inspiration

A beautiful piece that I hope someday continues, the story was heartwarming with the little monster trying to live it's best life.
Recommend it to all that like monsters

Very well written, spelling errors and grammar aren't noticeable and jarring that affects the reading experience, in fact I think the transitions and writing style are smooth and fits the story.
Character development is well done, and the MC is definitely a curious and cute creature.
The only issue so far and I'm sure it will be better later on is that the story is bland and generic, there really isn't anything that's special or something that defines this story from others, it's just well written. But I'm in high hopes that this will change in the future chapters.
Good Luck on writing this!
