This time, in order to avoid trouble, Xiong Ye chose the weakest man in the tribe as his new companion.

In any case, he can afford him!

With his strength, he’ll definitely be able to let his own man eat meat every day instead of grass.

Zhou Ji, the ‘weakest man’ who had just transmigrated over from the apocalypse and likes to indulge in eating ‘grass’: “…”

This novel is a very fun take on a second-chance rebirth where neither of the main characters were reborn, but instead the villain is, and his bad decisions allow the main couple to get together and prove to be his downfall. The villain's memories allow us to know how Zhou Ji is improving the lives of the people around him in a concrete way. However, he is most prominent at the beginning and end, and otherwise the main focus is on the main couple slowly growing closer and civilization-building.

The Romance:... more>>
Spoiler

I would say that Zhou Ji is the main character while Xiong Ye is the love interest, but both of them get POV and emphasis. From the beginning they're friendly towards each other, and once they start living together they are increasingly sincere. Xiong Ye is a gifted but generally ordinary bear shifter, and he loves Zhou Ji for being thoughtful rather than being incredibly OP, which is not revealed until near the end of the novel. He was in a relationship with the lion shifter, but he got over it quickly and hearing of the original future makes you happy he found another man who will be monogamous with him, care for him faithfully, and make him just as strong as he is. Zhou Ji transmigrated from a modern zombie apocalypse, and he has the cheat skill of being able to grow plants, but he hides it for a while. He's never been in love before, but Xiong Ye steals his heart and it's incredibly cute. He does things like spread chinese writing, pottery, and agriculture, but it's pretty understated, especially since pottery and agriculture can already be found on the more civilized continent across the sea, and he just tells the village "Hey, you can make pottery from firing clay. Keep trying it." as opposed to knowing how personally.

[collapse]

The villain:
Spoiler

Shi Li is the one who remembers the original future. In it, he's the same person he is today: a lazy, selfish, ambitious, and greedy human being. He remembers how to cultivate and some future events, so he assumes that with that he will be able to quickly rise to the top, but he has no gratitude towards the tribe who took him in or anyone he doesn't care about, and he holds grudges insanely quickly. I like that it's not that Shi Li was previously a lot different, or that it's hard to believe that Xiong Ye would have liked him, since a lot of the traits become more prominent when he's high ranked and powerful, rather than when he has to struggle along with everyone else. He plans to simply become so powerful that Xiong Ye will have no choice but to stay his lover while he has s*x with other men and women, and Xiong Ye refusing him entirely when he randomly cancels his mating ceremony makes him pissed.

[collapse]

Side Characters:
Spoiler

I like them! Some are more prominent than others, but they are all very earnest and watching them is heartwarming. They flesh out the ranks of the world more. I liked the priests, the women in the tribe and how while some of them were interested in dating the main characters, they were people with perfectly sensible minds and hearts. We also meet other characters who are powerful Beast Warriors and higher, but there's not so many that the ranks of power feel broken.

[collapse]

The Extras:
Spoiler

There's a parallel world extra, where Zhou Ji has a dream of SAHRJ when the characters are middle-aged, and develops an interest in Xiong Ye as a result instead of being a loner. It's really interesting to see how even if Shi Li hadn't managed to mess up his relationship with Xiong Ye so early, they still would have a bad relationship and it still would be possible for ZJ/XY to happen.

I have seen negative comments on this story and how some people called it "bland" or "boring". However, this is certainly not the case. The story is not long but the characters certainly draw attention as both the main characters are very strong. The starting of book starts from the main character and villain's point of view which doesn't happen a lot of book. The book has both the main character and main lead's point of view which makes it interesting. The story is fluffy romance and focuses on the... more>> main character's relationship.

The book is very lovable. There is isn't a lot of intense adventure scenes like from Banished to Another World, mainly because the story focuses on the romance, while Banished to Another World mainly focus in adventure and action.

I do recommend this book a lot if you want to read a fluffy, heart warming, romantic story. <<less

Whenever I read title of novel I couldn't muster up myself to read this.

Finally read this novel and found it to be so good.

It's fluff with lots of food. Whenever I read this novel, I always feel hungry.

... more>> Relationship between MC and ML is good.

Some have said how ML is lazy and just order everyone but if seen from other prespective it's already good. ML (ZJ) is someone with PTSD, with his strength it's good enough he isn't killing people rather have always done his own work himself. His lazy behavior is kind of stress reliever for him. He did helped other people of tribe with all his knowledge and if he did himself then he would be stopping their brain development as they would just imitate what ML is doing.

He is far better than rebirthed Shi Li guy who despite belonging to the tribe disdains them and rather saving them from catastrophe, is waiting for it to happen so he could have happiness in other pain.

MC (XY) isn't weak one rather a strong, cute and innocent bear. In main story he chased ML first and ML took care of him by cooking for MC and making him stronger. Their relationship is mutual one.

I loved extras where ML is the one doing all chasing, leaving his lazy personality.. <<less

One of my favourites. Lovely story, interesting reading about their lives as they improve slowly and how the main couple falls for each other. Compared to beginning some characters really grow and the extras are my favourite as it focuses mostly on their improved lives and the main couple.

The story gets repetitive as it repeats some characters backstories multiple times in detail, and sometimes it gives background information when all I want is to know what happens next. Also repetitive as it talks about peoples reaction to new things and... more>> their day-to-day lives which is fun to read at a few times becomes boring eventually. But the story always keeps me entertained as I finished reading everything within a few days.

Spoiler

BTW. Hate the priests, very annoying and get in the way of the main couple. Sometimes they're okay for story development but wish there was less of them especially since the temple was shown in a negative light most of the novel as they exile people for having bones that heal wrong and when they are not sure of something they think it's the devil.

There was also a cool plot twist that ZJ is the beast god (not really, the priest just think so cuz he's super strong and can grow plants magically) but the twist was cool as most people didn't see it coming, I guessed it might be the case but even then I was second-guessing myself.

I’m not sure why people are saying this story is bland or boring. Matter of fact, it’s quite the opposite. It takes a while for the plot to really kick in but when it does, it’s pretty good. The main character, Xiong Ye, is a easy going character. What you see is what you get. No hidden agendas, hard working, cute and very loyal. The main lead, Zhou Ji, is kinda the opposite of Xiong Ye. He just wants to eat, drink, not work and live in peace.

The story isn’t... more>> fast paced and sometimes moves slowly along. There were parts that served no purpose to me and probably should have been cut out. That’s why I gave it 4 stars. But overall it was a pleasant read. I liked it. <<less

This was a fun read! I've read a lot of transmigration stories and this one was very fresh to me. I can't believe I almost skipped it just because of the time period where the main character transmigrated to! The characters are s*upidly sweet and hilarious to a point that you cannot help but like them. The 'sea god' and his adopted grandson are my favorite characters. They did not have a lot screen time but they funny as h* when they do appear, Reading this was a very unique... more>> experience.",) <<less

In fact while everyone is talking about the characters and plot and base building of this novel what I really appreciate is the realistic setting.

The ML acknowledges that he has mental problems and knows not to go seeking thrill and adventure. He doesn't use his powers to help the tribe directly but rather let's them ponder on their own while giving hints. He knows he's not gonna live forever to take care of the tribe. In fact he starts out pretty horrible at cooking. The MC has a very good... more>> character too. He's pure and giving but not dense and knows to not let others take too much advantage of his kindness but yet in the prehistoric setting he appears particularly kind and generous. He is very straight forward and open minded and doesn't force others to take blame for something he has part in, like he doesn't hate his ex for taking advantage of him because he was the one who let himself be taken advantage of. Even the side characters all have reasons for being how they are. The world building is also only accelerated only at the start and over the years it settles down and there isn't any major technological progress. Overall its a satisfying and light read. <<less

A BL I actually liked. Didn’t place too much emphasis on the fact that this was a same s*x couple, which made it feel more smooth flowing. I also liked that the author drops hints about plot points instead of outright telling. In fact, I could guess with decent accuracy what they were trying to imply even though they didn’t tell me outright. And it wasn’t done in a way that makes it seem predictable; instead, I felt rewarded when my guess was later revealed to be true. For example:

... more>>
Spoiler

-Guessing that the ML’s ex reincarnated

-Guessing that the MC had transmigrated (admittedly it wasn’t much of a mystery given the synopsis)

-Guessing about what happened in the ML’s ex’s previous life from little hints dropped throughout the entire book that were later confirmed near the end and in the extra chapters

[collapse]

However, it does contain some plot holes/contradictions. For example, it was stated early on in the book that beastmen cannot speak in their animal form, and for the most part the book stay true to this rule but for one instance,
Spoiler

when the leads were out walking together and the MC was on the ML’s back, and the ML spoke one sentence while in beast form (I know, I’m nitpicking).

[collapse]
And honestly, the author could’ve done with stating earlier that Beast Kings were capable of speech in their beast form (though I kinda gathered that would be the case given all the xianxia novels I’ve read). I believe I have made a mental note of more examples, but unfortunately forgot them (that’s how good this book is).

Overall enjoyed this book, would re-read at some point, which is a first for BL novels. <<less

A good fluffy story that has a fun and riveting plot! Nothing too dramatic and heart pounding but not dull and slow paced. Well written, and for the last 40 chapters of the story (not including side stories in this count) I was laughing so much my fiance was mocking me. A really fun and different plot that only ever made me feel pleased and happy and vindicated.

This story is really cute. I loved the MC and ML. Although at first it feels like Xiong Ye is the MC and Zhou Ji the ML, half way through the story is told more from Zhou Ji's perspective than Xiong Ye's.

The story isn't super deep nor complex, but it's really cute and really enjoyable overall. If you're expecting an amazing story with an incredible plot, this is not it. This does have its adventures and its tense moments but nothing too exciting. I still loved to death anyway though,... more>> because it's really cute and it's pretty satisfying to read.

If you like cute couples and fluffy stories without too many complications, this is it, but if you want complex stories and plot, this might not be your cup of tea. <<less

This is my 2nd time reading a novel focused on tribal/beastkin. And I have to say I quite like it. I started 2 days ago and binge read until current chapter. It's a nice, light read. I like emotional rollercoaster novels but sometimes I also want something that makes me feel relaxed and happy while reading it.

The world building and the improving the lifestyle of the main characters and the tribe was also interesting to observe as it continued to develop. The side characters are easy to distinguish and are... more>> memorable also.

So far, the romance does not dominate the story as it's more focused on the tribe. There are some cute moments though. And while they do help each other out... with their hands. cough... nothing too explicit or beyond that as of ch95.

Spoiler

I don't really feel anything for the antagonist besides disdain. As someone who was reborn and knows all the events that come to pass, he didn't lift a finger to try to prevent it or share his knowledge to benefit the tribe.

In fact, he's always looking down on everyone and took XY for granted.

This is one of my favorite reads so far! It's filled to the brim with fluff and the MC and ML's relationship development is neither too fast nor too slow. There's action now and then, but the plot is mostly light and focuses on MC and ML's daily life. Highly recommended ^^

Simple but cute story and a little heart warming. Not as intricate as banished to another world but is good enough for me to complete the story. Also, it never fails to make me laugh XD

No H scenes, and focused more on the story.

2.5 stars: A straightforward okay read with an indifferent/cold/lazy unlikeable protagonist gong and energetic manly himbo shou. Nothing ever really goes wrong for the MC and he faces very few challenges, all of which he easily overcomes because he's so OP and has plant powers that can do everything from ripen a field of potatoes instantly to eavesdrop on people hundreds of meters away (how is this a plant power?) to grow moving vines to strike flint together to start a fire. There are a lot of food descriptions and... more>> the MC is basically the god of cooking because he transmigrated from the modern-day zombie apocalypse into a primitive world where the height of cuisine is to stick meat into a fire.

The primitive setting is a beastmen one where all humans can transform into an alternate mammal shape, though a twist is that the world has no other mammals than humans and their beast forms, only fish, birds, and dinosaurs, lots and lots of dinosaurs. The author states that the setting is not historical, as if a world with beastmen in it could be historical lol.

The MC Zhou Ji is kind of unlikeable (seems to be a trend with this author, based on The Only Favourite Ugly Husband though at least ZJ here isn't a sociopathic colonialist a**hole) because he's selfish, lazy, indifferent, and really overpowered but disinclined to help people or literally do any work because life was so hard in the zombie apocalypse and now that he transmigrated he just wants to be lazy. The only times he helps people are when it aligns with his own self-interests, either because it'll make his life easier by helping the clan out for once or help out his mate, Xiong Ye, whom he fell in love with because it was convenient to do so and made his life easier. He has zero altruism and his kindness extends to "if there's no real effort involved on my part and it'll make my life easier, I guess I'll save your life". He also looks down on pretty much everyone as primitive and ignorant, while the text and the rest of the clan regard him as superior because of his mysterious advanced knowledge and good looks (seriously, everyone praises him for being so good looking and later attributing his super powers to "the Beast God must have blessed him with such powers and knowledge because he's so good-looking!").

The ML Xiong Ye is the golden retriever eager simple cute strong type, and he becomes devoted to ZJ very quickly because ZJ is good-looking (have I mentioned he's good-looking?) and can cook amazingly delicious never-before-seen dishes like fried eggs and hot pot and knows what chili peppers are. He really is a simple, straightforward, loyal guy who cares about others and not just the MC. It's too bad he ended up with ZJ for a partner, even if ZJ does actually treat him pretty well. I guess I just wish he could've found a partner who was less of an indifferent **** to other people and wasn't above taking constant advantage of him.

XY used to be engaged to Shi Li, who in another twist on the genre, is also a transmigrator/reincarnator, in that he's been reborn into his younger body after living a ripe long life and dying of old age. He's always been a selfish flighty **** though and later in his life resented that he became mates with XY when they were young and was never able to be free of him (divorce is unknown and mates are permanent in their society) —not that XY was ever anything but devoted to him and treated him well and saved his life over and over and taught him how to cultivate and become a beast king and etc. Etc., but SL wasn't satisfied because he wanted the freedom to sleep around and was always secretly resentful their whole lives that XY was more powerful and respected and better-liked than him.

Shi Li is kind of a non-entity though who exists solely to be faceslapped over and over again. Which, considering his personality and how he acts when reborn, he deserves.

If it's not obvious already, none of these characters have any kind of depth or complexity. They are all very one-dimensional, as are the miscellaneous side characters, not very many of whom have a real impact on the story or the CP. However, the story is still readable and straightforward, without any real plot twists, conflict that isn't immediately resolved by the MC being OP, and no angst or melodrama. There are the occasional funny bits and a lot of food descriptions. This is by no means a binge-read or super amazing story, but it's okay to pass the time while you're looking for a better read. It was non-annoying and inoffensive enough for me to mark this 2.5 star as a 3 star rather than a 2 star, at any rate. <<less

Maaaan I've re-read this for two times already, I'm planning to read it again as you can see, but daaaang some comments are misleading, good thing I've read the novel before checking the review here in NU.

Anyways if you're the type of person who enjoy wife of legendary master or any of mxtx's novels I guess you don't mind the slow burn and detail oriented novels, people call it bland when it kinda gets informative or about day to day life, if you're a sucker for that this novel is... more>> for you.

Overall Comments

Overall, I enjoyed reading this a lot. It could have been better but all is well. I definitely liked The Only Favourite Ugly Husband by this author more because the MC actually actively works hard to improve his husband's and his family's lives but this story is enjoyable enough to read too. The new-to-me setting (it was super vivid to me) and the amazing translation kept me reading all the way through.

... more>> Writing/Translation

The translation by XIIN is very good! Top notch! The translator has 2 dedicated editors so there were no errors and everything can be read smoothly! The group seems experienced and passionate about translating so that is to be expected. The writing of the story is also nice, we don't feel distant from the events of the story and it is easy ish to be invested.

Plot

The plot follows half half the romance and the MC raising the ML as he earnestly works to improve the life of his tribe. The extras in the story further follow what happens to the couple and incidentally, the tribe as well in the years that follow. And the last extra follows a parallel world where the MC in the original world at age 48, dreams of the happy life of himself in the main story and decides to check out the Beast King ML. Pretty good.

Themes/What Story Tried to Achieve

The story follows the indifferent MC, who has been living in a terrible apocalyptic world by himself. Now that he has transmigrated to this new Stone Age world, he just wants to be alone and live life. It is understandable that all his actions are to just be emotionally and physically distant from all these strangers after such a life. So all his actions make sense. The person he likes is really the only one he truly cares about. He won't go out of his way to proactively help the tribe but he won't prevent them from learning from him. However, the main draw of a village/kingdom building is when the MC you are reading the pov from has a desire to actively improve the village or kingdom. In the normal trope, this creates this delicious cycle of making the MC likeable and easy to root for so when you see the character's hard work pay off, you also get a sense of satisfaction of seeing something less become more. The feeling of happiness that comes from helping the people you like that appear in the MC is also there to add more dopamine. Then, with the increasing quality of life of the MC, they can continue to earn more stuff. These quick cycles of dopamine hits keep the story addicting for the readerto read.

However, in the story it isn't like that. For one, the MC's situation is not bad. He can grow his own food without any help as much as he wants. He can also hide himself from other dinosaurs with no problem. He can just live by himself anyway so we don't feel any urgency to improve a super bad quality of life situation. Then there is the ML. He's basically the young master of the tribe because he's so capable. Everyone generally likes him because he's a strong yet caring person for them. So his situation isn't bad and is, in fact, much better than the MC. So no need to help him improve either. Only the tribe in general is always hunting for meat but it's all pretty liveable. No one the MC cares about needs to have their life improved. So when the tribe's living situation is improved indirectly by the MC, we don't really care because the MC doesn't care about them enough to actively do something. So for me, the impact of all the tribe building isn't particularly high.

For the setting though, I really like it! It's so unique from what I have read so far, something in the stone age + dinosaurs + tribes + people who can turn into mammals. This is my first story in this clan building genre, so everything is a bit refreshing. From other reviews, it seems there are better stories of this kind out there, so I'm excited haha

As for the romance part, this author has yet another unique ML and a refreshing couple dynamic! I've read The Only Favourite Ugly Husband by them just before this one, and that one has a unique couple dynamic too haha. Here, you can't quite tell who is the shou and who is the gong at first. And even later on, when we realise the strong tribe chief ML will be the shou in the romance, it gives a unique spin haha. Such a manly strong man eagerly volunteers to be the shou in s*x because he's scared being the bottom will be too painful for his lovely, delicate mate hahaha. It was believable how the romance came about. Lots of convenient situations happened to easily let the couple develop feelings, but it was nice to read. Also, for the s*x stuff, there was basically nothing on screen lol. Everything was super vaguely referenced in like one or two sentences, then the story just skips over and moves on. I don't mind it because I find s*x scenes in cn novels super cringy or someone forcing the other to have s*x, which is unpleasant. The topping and bottoming things also happen here but so much is in euphemism and very short, I didn't have to skim anything which is great for me XD

Pacing

Everything is slice of life so the pacing is like that. Interesting things always happen soon after an interesting thing finishes, so you aren't bored. There will usually be a whole chapter of the MC cooking nice food after an interesting thing happens, so some people who don't like this type of stuff might find it slow. As for the clan building stuff, it feels a bit more draggy than if the MC had actually genuinely wanted to improve the clan. As it is, he only wants the clan to be better because the ML and the MC's living situation might become marginally better and not bother him in the future lol.

Characters

The MC is so so for me because of how indifferent he is to everyone. Even when he slowly learns to accept this world as his own, we don't really read this feeling from him so it still vaguely feels like he's not really close. Like, if it was between the tribe and his ML, he would choose to save the ML with zero hesitation. So while he isn't unlikeable or anything, he doesn't make it easy to really root for him and like him. I wish the author had made the MC more vulnerable actually. Maybe with the ML. This would have made us feel closer to the MC and made the relationship between the couple even closer. Here are a few scenes that do this but it's like only one or two scenes and it's only by one character being present in the scene. It would have been so easy to do so! The MC has a horrible past of surviving an apocalypse alone and now has ptsd and all the effects of living in such a place. If the author made him cry or tell something of his situation in a vulnerable way to the ML, I feel like it would make the ML fall deeper in true love! Because this MC who is always too jaded and distant to protect himself, if he can be vulnerable that means he has let down his walls for the ML to really get to know him. I believe there were missed opportunities there.

As for the ML, I adore him! He is just so freaking cute and such a cinnamon roll who just wants the people he loves and his tribe to love happily for all time. He's so excitable and easy to fool because the people at this time just don't have time to learn intrigue because they have to find food to eat! But he wants to protect his tribe and to get as much food as his people wants so he will train hard to be strong enough to do so. He's just so adorable and very likeable XD My favourite character in the whole story.

The side characters are all varied and nice to read about. Barely anyone really sticks around a lot but it is nice to read about when they are there. The villains are okay. My favourite villain is Shi Li but he's not there for a whole chunk in the middle. I really like to see his expectations all overturned and his plans all messed up hahaha.

Well, about the extras, I don't think it's a parallel world, it's more like a rebirth with a few changes due to Shi Li's actions; A butterfly effect.

1.) If Shi Li did not derail from his original path, he and Xiong Ye would still grow old together like in the past life.

2.) Xiong Ye and Shi Li's separation changed Zhou Ji's path. Instead of having no place to live in, he was taken care of Xiong Ye.

If they only stayed together, Zhou Ji might even follow his original path. Facing... more>> more troubles before becoming a beast god.

3.) Due to Shi Li's actions, Zhou Ji was not taken by the Elephant Beast King. After all, Zhou Ji is now living a better life in the Big Bear Tribe.

He even prevented the Big Bear Tribe from being destroyed by the Enemies (The Tiger something)

4.) Zhou Ji developed the Big Bear Tribe. The “gift” from the “beast god” that was supposed to be given to the beast god temple was given to Xiong Ye's tribe instead.

5.) In Shi Li's POV, he mentioned that he felt the presence of the beast god in the beast god temple. Which is probably the reason why he stayed with Xiong Ye 'till the end.

After all, Zhou Ji have no interest in Xiong Ye at that time, he's only thankful to Xiong Ye because he helped him before.

6.) But due to his rebirth, he did several things that are different from the previous life.

Even Zhou Ji directly gave Xiong Ye the cultivation method instead of giving it in a sneaky way because he is now Xiong Ye's spouse. Shi Li never got the cultivation method but he still remember what Xiong Ye shared to him in the previous life anyway.

7.) And in the so-called parallel world, which is actually the original timeline, Zhou Ji dreamt of his experience in the present timeline after rebirth, which also made him derail from his original path.

He got jealous of the present Zhou Ji because he got a mate.

8.) Also, Because of the memories (dream) that he got, he grew closer to Xiong Ye and even indirectly caused Shi Li and Xiong Ye 's separation due to his edict.

9.) So in that original timeline, the memories that he got changed everything. Shi Li directly divorced Xiong Ye and Zhou Ji even showed himself instead of staying inside the temple.

10.) If you noticed, in the original timeline, the beast god temple was more prosperous than the big bear tribe because Zhou Ji stayed there.

And also, before Shi Li's rebirth, everything was basically similar to the original timeline, so we can conclude that it's just an ordinary rebirth.

But since both timeline are now taking different paths, it became a parallel world; Where Zhou Ji from the original timeline married Xiong Ye when he's older, while the Zhou Ji from the present timeline married Xiong Ye when he's younger.

It's both happy ending, nonetheless. <<less
