As the title suggests, I cannot keep my monsters "Even" when I am trying to, they always end up soft,fond, or doting.

I've tried a few things:
Scold at failures
Scold at cheating
Praise whenever possible
Not resting as often (every 3 or 4 weeks instead of every 2 weeks)
Say No to play
Say Yes to play
Mixing up Yes and No to play (Normally what I do)


The monster that I am currently raising is a Sandy. (Monol/Seuzo)

Never allow failures or cheating unless intentionally altering the nature of a monster.

If you are not the type to reload or are not concerned with your monsters nature too much then if you are soft/fond/doting always scold these events and if you are spartan/harsh/strict do not scold them. Never ever play with your monster, but again if you don't reload use the same method as with cheats and failures.

Your problem is praising whenever possible, and this is actually the best way to keep your training style even. I always keep a hero badge in my inventory so praises affect nature more positively than lack of praise affects it negatively. With that done, I base my decision to praise or not praise solely on my training style, knowing that overall I can moderate my training style without adversely affecting their nature.

Rest is purely to do with your training regime, unless you are using a poor training regime or hard drills your monster never requires rest - apart from errantries and expeditions of course.

All you need to do is stop praising your monster every time and follow the above advice. If you are concerned that your training or item regime gives too much spoil and therefore you will need to withhold praise so often that your monster will have an undesired bad nature then just keep a hero badge in your inventory.

Rest, play, cheats and failures are not ideal ways to alter nature/training style because they take up 1 week of your monsters life when it can be done more efficiently through praise or lack of praise alone.

Using these principles any training style or possible nature you desire can be achieved with the appropriate use of hero or heel badges and praising or not praising.
