Is this natural?
"Although Bowline has the second lowest strength reduction rate after Figure 8 knot, it tends to be loosened easily so you need to make sure to add another step to prevent this."

Almost natural.
You need to add "the" before "bowline" and "the" before "figure 8 knot." Also notice I did not capitalize the names of the knots.
"Although the bowline has the second lowest strength reduction rate after the figure 8 knot, it tends to be loosened easily, so you need to make sure to add another step to prevent this."

No problem! I love questions about knots.
I don't know if you really wanted an answer to why do I love questions about knots, but once you close your question I can't answer you any more. I have found this sneaky way to answer by editing my own previous answer.
Knots are a great thing to know. My dad taught me knots when I was pretty young, and they have been useful to me all my life.
Also, I have done a bit of rock climbing and rappelling.
If you can tie a bowline, a figure 8, and a clove hitch, you can pretty much get out of anything.

@gg6ee ohmy! I didn't know that closing the question would stop people from answering more! Sorry! Thanks for your story as well as letting me know about the closing question things.
I was really touched with your answer. I appreciate it. Really.
The thing is, I enjoy rock climbing often. I was happy to read that you've done climbing too. I'm not an expert of knotting or climbing at all. These days I'm helping my friend(who runs a climbing gym) make some youtube videos about knotting (of course in Korean), and I'm trying to translate the korean explanation to English just to improve my English. And you helped me with english.
anyway, Glad to meet a climber here in HiNative!
I hope you and your family stay safe and happy.
