One of the best slice of life bl novel for me. The name suit the novel so perfectly.

Love the story, the Funny and Fluffy Moments and the interaction between MC and ML.

This is my 2nd novel of this author (1st is SAHRJ) and I really love how author doesn't make uke's like the usual one who get shy doing intimate things. I love how uke's too take more action to be intimate.

Well, shu shu is the best. He's so adorable. Love his Dorkiness and narcissism. I can't get... more>> enough of it.
Spoiler

I really like how the Author kept his animalistic nature (being scared of snakes) till late, even being afraid of his own children and then let it slowly recover. Well, this kind of things are better if shown in slow progress as it really is not easy to overcome ones Fear

[collapse]

This is the first time I have been fully satisfied reading a bl novel (except for s*x scene part.... can't help it). We got pretty much every Other couple story too and main couple kids love story. Now where can you find a novel like this (even giving us kids love story). well, I would have love it more if Author gave us a bit more of lion couple story, especially after they left that planet. Although for some people it might be like dragging chapters But for me, I loved it.

The only thing I feel a bit unsatisfied is that we never got to know the origin of the red bead inside Shu Shu. I really wanted to know but then again if it really comes out then who knows this novel might not remain Slice of life genre anymore. <<less

Its a absolute good read. I hadn't read it for a long time although it was in my reading list with good reviews. Kinda regret it.

I didn't like it at first cause the MC is a hamster! I don't want animal romance! I want beastmen romance! (Yah I thought its animal romance)

Its light read with absolute fluffy moments and MC's former useless (kind of) tendencies are completely justified. It didn't felt irritating at all

I gave 4 stars cause though its good but still felt a little dragged. Not much... more>> filler chapters but chapters are dragged. <<less

One of the best chinese BL novels I've ever read. Like the chinese culture about cultivation was presented in a way that is easy to understand and the interactions between characters are very reasonable and understandable that you cannot find any fault as to how they act. One example was when at the beginning we see the ML acting protectively and loving towards our MC even though he does not know him and when we don't understand the reasoning behind this we'll think that this was because of a cliche... more>> love at first sight so their is not much time to u know cultivate and relate about the ML's feelings because he already fallen in love without a reason. But as we go through the story it actually explained that it was normal for the ML to act like that towards the MC cause of instinct (it is set in an era where humans have animals characteristics and the string protects the weak) and we began to appreciate the not so quick and also not so slow burn romance that happened between them because we were actually given time to see the progress of their relationship and how they fall in love. Hahaahha dats just my opinion thou

edit: idk how to change the stars help <<less

You have a hamster & a snake... surely that's not as bad as a plant elf & a dragon (if you know you know :))

Mediocre story at its best, but still pretty enjoyable. The main couple's interactions were funny & cute. A lot of pampering & teasing usually floats my boat & this check-marked my criteria. Even the extra chaps were incredibly cute (I really liked the youngest's story). If you like furry creatures & a fluffy couple, this can be a pretty worthwhile read!

Love the story of how the MC developed his feelings for the ML. ❤️ Love the face-slapping especially the last few chapters of the story (written in the spoiler).

Spoiler

My favorite part is the story of the little prince, the youngest son of Shushu and Edgar because the entire planet doesn't know that he has the characteristics of a sub beastman and he is a little prince, they thought he is a beastman. The little prince had a boyfriend but his bf's family doesn't like him. Then, a third party came and ruined their relationship. That's when the entire planet knew that the little prince is Shushu and Edgar's child. Love the face slapping in this part.

Good but not great. ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭
Spoiler

I appreciated the consistency of mc's lack of knowledge in a lot of areas which makes him not a total perfect fit in every situation. The cute moments were of course enjoyable and not everyone was a cannon fodder, which was nice too. However there were a lot of chapters that contained too much details of things that weren't needed and 99% of the chapter titles were SUPER spoilers. If I wasn't still invested in reading I would've been contented with just looking at the table of contents and be done with it.

Translation 5/5

MC/ML 5/5

Story 4/5

... more>> Story:

Shu Shu is a little hamster that learned how to cultivate to become human... unfortunately something went wrong and he didn't completly finish his turn and somehow landet in a strange forest. Deciding that he can not meet humans while having hamster ears and a tail, he just nested in that forest to cultivate, since it seemed to be rather safe there.

Unbeknownst by the little hamster he was already watched and safeguardet by a big snake that realy wanted to take a bite of this cutie.

Edgar is the crown prince of the beast emprie and just escaped and ambush. To survive he had to explode his beast core. For beast men this means he will never be able to turn into a human again and will sucumb to his beastly nature someday. Deciding to do a last good dead he keeps that cute little sub-beast man safe and will bring him to the next settlement as soon his injuries are healed. Sadly its rather hard to get near that little hamster that seems to be deadly afraid of the snake....

My Opinion:

I realy love that story... so cute. No overly drama. Fluffy. Though it keeps you imeresed in the story.

Don't make the mistake thinking the whole book palays out in that forest. It's just the starting point. ShuShu decides rather fast to teach the snake cultivation, so he doesnt need to fear the snake anymore.

ShuShu isn't s*upid, he is just untaught and has to muddle through. But thanks to his golden finger he is advancing fast.

I love the flow between MC/ML. They do know their onw faults and accept their partners fully. There are no overly dramatic misconceptions and misunterstandings cause MC and ML communicate well and are booth straigt forward. I realy like that.

To the person who read 15 chapters and decidet that the MC is s*upid and timid: He is a hamster that lived 200 years, there were countles snakes trying to eat him... of course he is afraid of snakes. Please try to learn reading forshadowing and you would know that the MC is a weak-to-strong charkter.

I highly recomend this read. It's a feel-good read. <<less

I really recommend this story if you are looking for something cute and light hearted. Eventually things get intense, but MC and ML face it together as an adorable strong couple.

I didn't expect to like this novel, but the reviews made me give a chance, and I don't regret it. The beginning is very slow, but it is not boring, I loved all the interactions between MC and ml, especially how they built their relationship and how MC loves and cares about ML despite being afraid of his animal form. A very possible point is the translation well done.

i actually liked this more than I thought. It has a slow beginning and the snu snu isnt very descriptive. I also dont like how some characters seem to fade out after this but its a nice story to relax after reading soul wrenching stories. The translator is nice and funny. Over all I enjoyed this and it left me feeling very calm and nice

Love this story. Has all the elements I love in a BL novel. Cute fluffy romance, humor, and adorable buns (yes, more than one!!)

Shu Shu is hilarious, he's a hamster from Earth who one day swallowed a mysterious bead that allowed him to demonically cultivate into a human form. He somehow gets transported to a strange forest where he meets the ML who has lost his beast core and is now stuck in animal form. The ML's animal form is naturally Shu Shu's number one MOST feared animal.... the... more>> snake. Shu Shu is a bit naive but not annoyingly so, he's a huge greedy foodie, and he's a bit of a cheapskate (unless it involves food lmao). The ML is the EXTRA gentle doting kind so if you hate overbearing CEO type ML's this is the story for you!

Cute jungle cohabitation happens and fast forward through some mild drama (nothing melodramatic so no worries) add a TON OF FLUFF and they live happily ever after. I also enjoyed the side stories you get in the extras that show what happened when their children are all grown up. The ending was satisfying. I notice that a large number of BL stories the endings seem rush, so if you're worried about a rushed ending you can be assured everything wraps up nicely. Even the side characters. <<less

Very light and fluffy read.

You will love everyones interactions with the MC and vice versa.

Edit:

... more>> Tbh, this is a pretty good story, the plot centers more on the interactions between the MC, the world he isekai-d in, and ML.

The MC took care of ml, and the ML appreciated MC and returned the favor, to the ML fell on love with the MC MC and always wanted to be by his side.

The side characters are all connected with each other to the point that their side of the story has more plot than the MC and Mls romance.

Overall, The is you're average 8/10 its not bad but its itt great either, but you will get to appreciate the characters and the story and the fluff. <<less

I just binge read all the chapters here on NU and what can I say? It's really adrenaline inducing for me when I read this, since I basically spent one and a half days to read it... chapter 70's cliffhanger is really to cruel to me! Aagh!!!! But the translation is good so I'll patiently wait for more chapters. I'm really tempted to read the raws...

Recommend!

The story itself has a lot of character and isn't really tropy to me, I was pleasantly surprised quite a few times. The MC isn't... more>> super dopey and naive, while not being overly smart and cunning. He pretty much embodies how you would expect a hamster turned human to act. But even beyond that his character is developed, and he's not one-dimensional. The ML is also not your typical ice-block yandere possessive kinda guy, really refreshing! I really don't like yandere so this came as a surprise considering the trend of this kind of setting. Not to mention he's also got a personality! And the side characters are also expanded and get their side stories and motivations explained. Though they don't go into too much depth, it's enough to get an understanding. The villain also is pretty well thought out and though it could've been a bit more developed and he seemed somewhat shallow, but I also think this is good. Not every villain has to have some long-drawn-out reason to do evil, sometimes the simplest things can make people go mad. The villain here wasn't over-complicated but there can also be a lot of speculation as to his in-depth reasoning. It lets you draw you're own conclusions.

The plot is pretty light-hearted, so it's not some literary haven, but there are no glaring mistakes and major plot holes. Everything so far fits all my criteria for a good read! I'm not really biased by any type of genre and can enjoy almost any kind of book, but when things can be well written it's always a breath of fresh air. MC not overpowered, check, ML is more than an emotionally-constipated weirdo, check. The plot isn't too far fetched and is still interesting and reasonable, check. In a lot of online fantasy novels you wont see people trying to reason out the reasons behind the fanciful powers characters possess.

Now I'm just waiting for the rest of the climax and grand finale to be well-played and not dissipate these good feelings! Good luck author, translator! I expect a lot from what I've seen! This wait is gonna be so hard to endure...

(P.S. this became a lot longer than I intended... whoopsie! Also, so hard not to write spoilers!!! P.S.S I think I've had too much caffeine.) <<less

The storyline's overall fluffy and cute. I recommend it for people who just watch some angst. What I don't understand is something about ML.

... more>>
Spoiler

Don't get me wrong, I'm quite fond of ML but his behaviour towards his friend, Calvin is kinda unacceptable to me. It's shown that Calvin has been a good friend to ML since they were young but an incident where Calvin's mother betrayed the royal family happened and this incident could harm MC. At the time, MC was pregnant while Calvin was in the prison. It's understandable that as a husband, ML would wanna be with MC, however, can't he at least spend a little bit of time to clear Calvin's name? Instead ML just rejoiced on his baby after he got Calvin out of the prison without conversing with him whatsoever. Is his relationship with Calvin that shallow? Wasn't Calvin the closest friend to him?

[collapse]

Well, ML's friendship is actually better than most ML in BL novels so I just brush off this bit even though I'm still dissatisfied. I would rate it a 4.5 but I'll just give a 5. <<less

I never thought I'd be so happy to read such a fluffy cute story about Shu Shu, the hamster-cultivated-to-human and his adventures in a totally different universe with beastmen.

The MC is super super adorable, and not only adorable, but very determined, brave and straightforward. While there are some parts that are cliched, as he is a pretty typically naive/innocent MC, he also breaks standard BL mold to be the one who takes his own initiative, acts with self-confidence, and works hard to stand on his own feet.

The side characters are... more>> overall pretty great as well. There aren't any truly crazy love rivals or brain-damaged cannon fodder characters, so the face-slapping is pretty subtle and enjoyable (not overly dramatic or destructive).

Spoiler

MC is the one who proposes to the ML! MC also wonderfully believes in himself, so he doesn't care much about gossip/convention, and is not your standard humble/shy/embarrassed "shou." Even their wedding night was SO refreshing!!

Also LOVED this line from the MC: "Relying on others is unwise; you are better relying on yourself." towards a supporting character in the face of expected gender roles.

[collapse]

This story never fails to bring a smile to my face. Translator is pretty good as well (only a couple minor grammatical issues). <<less
