You can train monsters like this all you want,

"You can train monsters like this all you want."

Is "like this all you want" one phrase or should we separate like this from all you want and all you want here functions as an adverb?

What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you as usual in advance.

I am sorry for asking again late and then all you want is an object of train or you want modifies this all like choose books you want? Or all you want functions independently as an adverb? What do you think? Thank you as usual.

...and then all you want is an object of train— Yes.
or you want modifies this all like choose books you want?— No.
Or all you want functions independently as an adverb?—This is probably a better idea than the first, but it is often impossible to decide whether an adverbial is sentential or attaches only to,
