Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

After transmigrating into a beast world, Rong Mingshi discovered that the people of this world experienced widespread mania. For example, when their emotions were abnormally agitated, they would become destructive beasts. If their emotions were abnormally low, they would shrink into their young beast form.

There is a type of energy stone that can cure this but it must be hand-carved into the animal form corresponding to the beastman. The more realistic the shape, the better the healing effect and the higher the repeated utilization rate.

In his previous life, Rong Mingshi’s ancestors started as craftsmen who grew their business and became wealthy.

Then a small store suddenly popped up on the Star Network, selling several small sculptures made with superb skill. The effect of the energy stone to soothe emotions could be felt through the screen and stirred up a sensation in the entire empire. However, this store owner was super lazy…

The idea is good and the opening chapter managed to capture people to read. It went alright, then it's dwindling the hill very fast.

Someone help you so you can eat, and bring you to civilization. Of course, you needd to repay and try your best to help with things that only you can do. Win win solution. But how the hell, it moves into love in a matter of light speed?? And have children in a flash??

An the whole merchant idea is just a title decoration here.

One of my favorite stories, I have re-read it several times, it is a relaxing story for me...

Only, avoid to read the extra chapters, I hated them, I act like they don't exist and what happened in these extra chapters never happened (For me the last chapter is chapter 82).

Spoiler

I still liked the idea of the children they had and their powers thought

[collapse]

In fact, I would have given 5 stars if the extras didn't exist!!!

kyaa~ kyaa~

this is so cute!!

regrettably it too short...

I want to read more about how and when the MC realize that their house maid is the same as his 'father' maidbot in the past.

or their daily life; ML as a marshal and MC as legendary sculpture and how will they take care of their lovely and cute children...

its super cute..

just thinking about it.

this novel is worth reading!!!

recommended for those readers who just finished reading something tragic or sad story...

it will surely refreshments you up!!

There's a huge focus on carving (especially a particular type of creature). Even for obstacles, they don't typically last long, so this reads more like a bumpy fluffy story - the interactions between the MC and ML are awfully cute. However, there are some things that would have been interesting to expand on, but the story moves fast as it isn't that long. If you're looking for something simple and fluffy, then this is a good story to pick up. Kudos to the translator too. There are a few mistakes... more>> but overall well done. Plus the site is easy to navigate. <<less

It's good but the longer the story drags on, the more repetitive it gets. It got old for me when it reached Ch. 55. After reading all the way to Ch. 70 I gave up on the story and skimmed to Ch. 82. I didn't bother reading the extra chapters.

I recommend this if you're looking for very light, very fluff and close to slice of life type of story. But it lacks real depth which makes the story monotonous starting from ... more>>
Spoiler

when he begins to prepare to enter the academy which is like Ch. 20 lol

. Just not my cup of tea.

Overall, real cute, more slice of life and less adventure. <<less

Amazing! It's full of fluff and, like another reviewer pointed out, doesn't have much dog blood scenes. The MC and ML are really, really cute and it's such an interesting career, to be a carver. I love it and hope that future readers will love it too!

This novel is cute!! Love then part where ML was teaching MC how to speak!!

However they go into too much detail when MC is carving the stones that it gets somewhat boring.

So far so good! I'm enjoying it and am itching for the next update (many thanks to the lovely translators!??) It feels similar to how to raise your natural enemy (except this is a human who went through rebirth) and other fluff beast -> human novels. Rong Mingshi is talented so looking forward to seeing his business grow

An alternative title would be "The smooth sailing life of RMS". This is a good novel to read when you're just looking for fluffy romance that's slightly Mary Sue. The antagonists' only purpose is to make the main characters look good and all the side characters and extras are obsessed with either RMS, AJ or both.

The plot holes are very glaring and frankly quite absurd.
Spoiler

From the start, RMS could modify AJ's high level energy stone without the right tools and 0 understanding of perception AND the energy stones RMS carved could reach 100% activation and still hide the energy fluctuations so I really don't understand what he was improving on in the second half of the novel. But the biggest plothole is the fact that the housekeeper AI and AJ's military AI are lightyears ahead of every AI in existence. Ruhr having such advanced AI might still be explainable but Baba? RMS's mother only had her carving business so I frankly don't see how Baba could become the second most developed AI in existence unless RMS's protagonist aura somehow increased its intelligence.

I would recommend this novel if you're looking for a fun and light read, with lots of fluff but little plot so you don't have to use a lot of brain power to read. The classic faceslapping novel where MC and ML defeat all the villains with the power of faceslapping, though there is the difference in that the novel goes into great detail about carving. Personally I have a lot of interest in the arts, so I enjoyed it, though I can see if someone has no interest in... more>> this kinda thing they would get bored pretty quickly, because there is a L O T of carving.

I would ignore the title for the most part though. MC does become a powerful figure in the novel through his carving, and is worshipped by the citizens, typical protag stuff, but I wouldn't call him a merchant. MC's past life had him being more of an advisor than an actual merchant, and though it's not like he's an absolute idiot in business sense, he isn't particularly interested in managing his carving business either which is why the title calls him lazy. MC is basically one of those 'if it's not the art I'm interested in then I'm not gonna look at it', a carving fanatic.

Overall, would give a 8/10 for satisfying read with good writing, very nice to let off stress from daily life and just read fluff. Their children are adorable too, so additional points. Ignore the plot holes and it's a very nice read. Recommend. <<less

MC and ML fall in love instantly for no reason. Also, while the MC is OP in terms of carving, he's pretty naive and easily distractible, which I assume is meant to be cute but just comes out as the MC being s*upid.

Honestly, I started reading on a whim, didn’t know what I was in for.
It’s really good. I love the descriptions of his crafts, how he brings life to every sculpture and re-interprets the animals.
There’s fluff, there’s magic, there’s logic, there’s spicy bits, there’s drama.

Really good, recommended!

This is great, I really don't understand this getting any less than four stars. The plot is extremely fluff-filled. There's basically 0 drama, and any potential drama is handled almost immediately, and that's fine. I don't think a fluff piece like this should have drawn out tension anyways. If you came looking for drawn out chapters of angst, then don't read this lol. Also if you came for detailed s*x scenes then you'll also not enjoy this, cuz they kinda breeze past that too.

I don't typically like space/future themed things,... more>> but this did a good job on that for me. The little mentions of the other side character's love-life solving was enjoyable, but I didn't need as much about the AI couple's stuff, although I think that the way their s*xual and pregnancy stuff was written was quite clever.

The extra chapters were a dud tho, gotta admit that.

Just give this a chance, it's pretty great, reminds me of 'A Comfortable Different World Life'. If you want that but in space and with less magic and more carving, then you'll definitely love this. <<less

Pretty good! I’ve tried to read this three times already (this was the third) and every single time I failed to get past the first chapter lmao. This time I made it through! It’s a very cutesy, futuristic novel. Nothing too complicated. You have a pure and talented shou and a possessive and stoic gong — you know, your typical dynamic. The MC is the shou, and he starts off the story as a little leopard. It should be noted that this is his second life, but his first was... more>> very limited because of illness. The only thing notable that he did in his past life was learn how to carve, which translated to the needs of this current era.

More specifically, the main “problem” in this story is that the Beastmen will fall into mania without a properly carved energy stone to guide their energy. Present carving practices have not managed to catch up and many Beastmen continue to fall due to mania. The MC’s arrival ushers in hope as he creates very effective energy stone carvings.

Again, it’s all very simple! The external plot is more of a side thing. So the main focus is exploring carving and stuff. I liked it, though I can’t say it’s of very high quality in terms of character or plot development.

CHARACTERS: 6/10

Nothing too complicated, but relatively charming.

Rong Mingshi (MC)

Little Leopard Shou! Very innocent, childlike persona.

Aojia (ML)

Typical stoic ML! He’s a black dragon Beastman, and also a marshal.

ROMANCE: 6.5/10

ML falls in love at first sight (?) or finds the MC charming at first glance. And MC slowly comes to depend and trust on ML. It’s all very simple stuff.

SETTING: 7/10

I found the setting interesting but a bit lacking when it came to detail. The author didn’t explain why some things work and why other things didn’t. Basically, the magic system all very wishy washy. The world was still interesting, don’t get me wrong! Just don’t expect realism.

PLOT: 7/10

As someone crazy for novels with poor-to-rich developments and crafting elements, this one just so happened to hit some good points for me. But it might not be the same for you!

PERSONAL ENJOYMENT: 7/10

It should be noted that I’m having trouble reading without distraction recently because I’m currently 75% in writing mode (yay nanowrimo). This novel, with its uncomplicated plot and characters, was just the right story for me at this period. So enjoyment was not bad despite my so-so feelings on it!

RATING: 3.35/5

An altogether, not bad read! If you’re looking for a casual story that’s not too brain numbing, then this is a good, self-indulgent kind of choice. <<less

Too flat...

I tried to give it a chance but I'm tired of the descriptions of the carvings he's doing... can we have some story building... some characters development? till ch 30 it is so boring...

Can anyone explain to me why ML is so obsessed and in love from the very beginning? Like why there is no actual relationship development... it basically happens without a reason...

Spoiler

Yes, I kind of get that he helped him with his carving skills... but thats it...

[collapse]

And all the characters around have no soul... it's bizarre...
Another novel with high potential and high ratings... that is just nothing special...
I wanted to give it 2.5 but since I couldn't I gave it 3... just for the cute MC and the concept... writing is also not that bad its just the storyline is too disappointing... TT_TT

You want fluff??? Say no more! I gotcha fam! (͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) If you're looking for something deep or serious plot then it's better for you to look somewhere else. Lol This is pure fluff, no conflict or drama, although the backstory of our MC is a little sad (I've seen worst, btw), it's not too bad imho. He met our ML from the very first day he transmigrated. The fluff starts reallllly early, I mean seriously early.

The MC and ML's interaction are just so adorable, ML's a doting... more>> partner and not your usual cold and as*hole type. Also just be aware that most of the time, the story revolves around the MC's carving talent, which I really don't mind, but it might get a little boring for some readers. I like their relationship because they understad each other and it's a give and take relationship. 🐉❤🐆 The extra chapters are the cutest, ugh! Their twins! Anyway, try a few chapters first if it's your liking, if not, then don't waste your time. Depending on how fast you read, you can do this in one go. <<less

I didn't read this novel for the longest time since I thought it would be boring, but it was actually pretty good. MC is a somewhat innocent cub-like adult who got thrown into a beast world. But his world-view is childlike, and he mostly just wants to carve and take care of ML who was nice to him. ML is essentially a strong and protective mother hen. Relationship wise the progression was kind of childish, but I view this novel more as a fluff novel. It's cute, relaxing and makes... more>> you happy. Interesting world-building and context, but otherwise weak and expectable plot. "Baby" snow leopard x military black dragon (both shapeshifters). Good for an adorable and relaxing read. <<less

I dropped reading it halfway through. It just became really, really boring.

MC and ML are cute, they're great together, ML isn't abusive nor aggressive and MC accepts everything he gives him without being scared of feeling thankful or of admiring him. But that's it. There's no relationship progression, their interactions are sweet, everything is fluffy, and nothing changes.

I just realized I've had enough.

The story is quite carelessly written, nothing serious to wait for. The whole thing about rocks is interesting and fresh, but this idea is wasted by not being... more>> vividly described and not having strong structure wich would make the reader feel into it.

Side characters are just there. I have no more word to say about them.

The plot is highly predictable, but everything goes slow and leaves a feeling that nothing actually happens.

In conclusion, this novel just felt really fluffy and actually empty. I genuinely enjoyed those 60 chapters, but I see no point in ever finishing reading to the end. <<less

Meh, it's a really boring book. One of those stories where the MC has that one convenient skill that's super useful/make him stand out in the new world he ends up in. Romance is bland as dishwater (and also weird AF due to spoilers, see below). And the actual merchant part is basically just a random part that I suspect is only part of the plot so that people online can gush over the MC.

Some spoilers:

The most frustrating and weird part of the story is that the MC is a baby white tiger cub most of the story. Yet he somehow gets the ML to fall for him (tho he can't speak/barely learns to speak in his cub form), and creates intricate carvings (idc how advanced tech is, I cannot suspend my belief in this). As a result, The MC has very little personality to me.

When he does finally turn into a human somewhere around chapter 40 something, it's only for a brief bit (like minutes?) and then he's back to being a cub. Rinse and repeat that a few more times. So you're basically reading the "romance" between a tiger cub and human for most of the story.

The online shop was also bullshit. He wasn't lazy, he just only wanted to carve stuff for the ML. The shop itself was just used as a forum space by his admirers so they could fawn over his skills.

[collapse]

I gave it 2 stars for translations + 1 for completion, but the actual story... I'd give 1. <<less
