I loved reading this! Super fluffy and lovely interaction between the main couple. Loved reading fearless Shu Shu (somewhat) overcome his fear and Edgar becoming silly. Idiot couple best couple!

The extras are kinda so-so. I liked them a lot but it was frustrating reading all the faceslaps delivered shsjjs novel netizens doing their shtick (sigh) 😂

Didn't really expect to enjoy this as much as I did!!!!

4.5/5

I really enjoyed it alot and wish for more. Really I am quite in the mood for these type of stories 😸

The MC is literally a hamester lol. He is very true to his hamester character yet special which is lovely.
I really really like that misunderstandings don't drag and last long.

... more>> I don't know if it is the translation or what but I don't like it when referring to the more submissive male as a female like (mother / princess)

It is a trope in bl but still this division of a dominant top male that act as male and submissive bottom male that acts like a female annoys me greatly. There are even real females in life stronger than those sub-beastmens.

Another thing that annoyed me greatly is

Spoiler

Gary is a beastman. MC decided to bring him up like that so why the hell are all the family think of him as sub-beastman ? Gary him self didn't like sub-beastmen food or treatment (playing) when young and he is stronger than most beastmen sooo why force your preference on him ?? He is not a sub-beastman. (Although the author did mention that gary did whatever he wanted it is still anoying that his grandparents and father still think of him as such) the point is... In the extra adult gary turned out that he likes sub-beastmen food more (maybe because babies food didn't contain meat back then ?) And mischievous gary suddenly became the type that likes to lay low and don't fight and quarrel then at the end because he become pregnant he and all of them considert him as sub beast man rather than abnormal beastman. The idea about him being beastman is just a naught

It's really funny. I love all the characters and the style of writing is great! The side story at the end is amazing. The MCs sons are so cute! The big brother is so over protective of the little brother. No matter who you are, if you read this novel, you're going to laugh.

What a straight forward hamster boii!!! I am completely done with ML who in order to eat tofu have to lose several layers of skin or trick the MC with underhanded means. The hamster boy simply says "let's f**k" and they go down to business, this novel doesn't even have any smut, but it's the principle that's important!!

Generally the MC has a hamster mindset in a human body, so this mindset leads to several funny incidents within the novel.
Spoiler

For example, once the ML accidentally played p*rn while trying to find a film to entertain the hamster boy, and instead got completely red faced. While the hamster boy watched it and simple reminisced about female hamsters mating and his life in the cage.

[collapse]
The story itself is really light hearted, and the ML is not a bullheaded person and genuinely cares for the MC. There is no tragedy or deep schemes. So the novel focuses on the blossoming relationship between the two leads, as they work out the logistics of being different species and mindsets. As the hamster boy transmigrated different worlds, and the ML gets sexually confused.
Spoiler

Also the ML is a snake beast person and the MC is absolutely terrified of snakes, so the hamster has a lot of mental blocks to overcome

A nice fluffy story with some little action and slow romance. World building is neat as well, nicely described and the story didn't confused me. MC's actions are always straight forward from start to end of the story which is cute, lovable and funny. ML also has a nice character development. I can't say much, overall, it's a good and relaxing read.

I recommend this story.

Very cute and heart warming. Conflict is pretty minimal, straight forward plot, and everyone gets a happy ending. Read this if just want a light-hearted novel or if you're tried of drama and angst.

MC is kinda dumb in the beginning but becomes smarter later on, while ML is very patient and accommodating.

The extras include their childrens' lives too. My favorite characters actually aren't MC and ML

Spoiler

But their 2nd son and his husband. MC's son is like a more mature version of MC and the husband is like ML without all the edge.

This is a very cute and chill story. It's quite on the slow side when it comes to pacing but it's not too dragging. There's not much uniqueness to it, but the use of tropes and the characters aren't annoying.

The MC doesn't become too powerful. Strength and intelligence-wise, he focuses on medicine on the last stretch of the story and becomes hailed as a genius doctor, but remains dull in other areas lol. He also retains his earthly morals and humility as a hamster so he doesn't become prideful or... more>> excessive.

As for ML, he's quite loyal and loving, if a bit on the jealous side. He initially followed after MC in the beginning because he felt like his protective instinct for him kept him sane and grounded, but his feelings for him grew in a relaistic manner. MC tried to be brave and cared for him even when he was obviously trembling and scared of snakes and even treated him like human when he wasn't even aware that ML was human.

As for the tone of the story, the story is shaped around the climate of opinion after ML's parents' generation. We slowly get introduced to how difficult it was for ML's "mother", who was a commoner, to find his place as a royal because he was disliked by ML's grandparents for being a normal commoner who they thought was undeserving of their golden child. In contrast, MC is welcomed with open arms and warm embrace by his in-laws and the people were just happy that their prince found someone he loved. The previois generation had a dog blood drama going on so it provides the tension that the current generation lacks.

It's an easy and cute read, nothing exceptional, but enjoyable nonetheless. <<less

If you want a light hearted story this book is probably for you. Full of fluff and sweetness MC Shushu the hamsters ? Will definitely melt all the hard-bones in you’re body. He is probably the most cutest hamster ever.

I practically scoured through the entire raw, and I say this book is really worth reading.

As for the h scene, there are probably a lot but it was disappointingly skipped by the author. (Drops shoulder.) To those who have read this novel haha I feel you guys ~❤️

I've finished mtling just now and all I can say is that it's so good.

First, I love how very appropriate the title is and has never stray from it's original topic. I cannot judge the writer's prose styling since I am just reading machine translated version after so I am quite regretful for that. However I love the overall plot structure and the pacing is pretty good. Not draggy, IMO. No dull moment at all. Also, this is one of the few ml's that are on the cute side but... more>> I find cool at the same time. I like uke's character design. It's just the right amount of cuteness without being helpless in an annoying way. The pacing of the relationship is pretty good, it's not loaded with tropes but they are charmingly one of a kind pair.

All in all, I could give this full points. I'm very much satisfied. Will read this again in one go after the scanlators go further on their translation. <<less

A light hearted story with an interesting permis and setting. Every arc feels pretty complete and like it could end there and then, only to be followed by another arc with a different setting and feeling but the same characters.

The role of Cultivation in this story and how it interacts with the physiology is I unique and interesting.

The cultural difference which the hamster encounters are taken into account but not blown out of proportion.

The MC has a low EQ- sort of, but doesn't come off as degradingly dumb, just hamster... more>> level intelligent. MC has some out of the norm behaviour and values, but that are consistent and explained by his background. Making his behavior fun and refreshing.

ML is a typical, asexual-until-I-met-you, cold faced, overpowered, influential, clever and charismatic but silently good-natured perfect guy. He is also an ideal representation of the thoughts and values of his science fiction, Alpha-Omega world. The twist with becoming a snake does add a layer of complexity to his interactions early on. Along with slowly learning the foreign Chinese language that MC speaks and whatever misunderstandings that develop from that.

This story goes places. Every arc is very destict almost to the point of being remenicent of quick transmigration novels.

The first arc comes off as a wilderness survival story.

Following that there is
Spoiler

the returning to society with the typical Chinese internet gossip and slandering scandals and the inevitable 'face-slapping' in polite society

[collapse]

Then there is the
Spoiler

stranded on a primitive island sort of theme.

[collapse]

And the short stories depicting what follows are definitely worth reading.

An easy lighthearted read with just enough plot, misunderstandings and variety to keep one's interest. Not much action or violence and whatever heavy topics are sort of glossed over. Initally as a whole it is a 4*. <<less

This is more of a fluffy story than yaoi so it's actually got plenty of cute interactions between the MC and the ML. The MC isn't the shy type at all so although things go down between the two, there really isn't much blushing (was there any?)

It's cute but the story's not that deep, so if you like that this is for your.

Spoiler

Yeah, all the s*x scenes in here aren't explicitly told, only implied so no beautiful spring takes place here if you know what I mean. Also, since the MC isn't shy, they actually get down and dirty quite often. It's just not that excit ing though since you only know it happened but not how.

[collapse]

No yaoi. Mainly fluff. :) <<less

The story could use a few more boss fights, but the cuteness escelates. There may be an epilogue, but I'm seeing a lot of loose strings involving love rivals and major/minor villains.

Cute, funny novel, you may think that MC is dumb but he is not he is just more real

... more>>
Spoiler

he is a hamster who lived hundred years in wild and even though he was with humans after he was just like pet so he didn't learn much, there are no plotholes, like the idea that Shu Shu when became a spirit he obtain logic but didn't became inteligent and just has great memory and information about cultivation

[collapse]

ML is expressive in his thoughts and worries, their romance is cute, and there is an clearly inteligent villain so the novel has a little bit of excitement. <<less

This novel is just pure cute and with a nice plot. I love the way MC is. Shu Shu is just so cute, and Edgar is the man we all want. If you expect something like power couple but in a soft and cute way, this pair is. And the way author narrated shu shu thoughts are just so fun to read.

Honestly not sure how to rate. It's not an amazing or especially great work, there's some questionable moments, heavy suspension of disbelief at some moments is needed, the villains or issues they run into are mostly kinda easily resolved, there are some plot holes...
buuuuut despite all that, I really enjoyed the story. It was engaging and kept me interested in what happens next. The arcs were distinct and did not drag on, which has made me drop some highly rated works before. There was both humorous and funny moments... more>> that made me chuckle at the antics of the characters, as well as some deeper and more profound, and also sad moments, were I actually wanted to cry.
I liked the characters, even if, there isn't a serious character development, there is still quite decent character journey with different issues the MC and ML had to go through. The side characters were interesting and I enjoyed immensely all the extras about the family and friends, which, honestly, I usually don't read in most cases.
Overall, this is a decent read, it is not gonna rock your world, but if you are looking for something light and fluffy, but also entertaining and engaging, then this is a good book. <<less

I really love this setting of cultivation + beastman + interstellar, it's my first time reading a novel with these settings in one.

I felt that MC and ML were very consistent as well. MC wasn't just "magically" cured of his fear later on.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC's fear of snakes is very understandable considering he is and has been living as a hamster for hundreds of years. It was definitely not easy for him to conquer his instinctual fear of his species' natural predator, poor ML. But our MC worked hard to conquer his fear bit by bit, and by the end he was able to stand his ground and not run away *immediately! 😅 The extras were also really fun! Although I felt the author was more partial to the 2nd prince's story, I was hoping to know more about little snake, and Jesse & Bruno!

[collapse]

Translator did a great job! I was sceptical to read at first since it said MTL but apart from some minor grammatical errors I didn't have any difficulty reading this at all. 😃 If you're really looking to read a fluffy/funny story don't pass this up! It also didn't drag on for too long which was just right for me. 👌 <<less

I read this a long time ago and loved it. Recently, I reread it and I still love it!

The main character is a cute and lovable hamster who can turn into a human. Don't expect too much from him because he's not very smart, but his kind and clever in his own way.

This was my first time to read a story about beast men in a futuristic setting, which I thought was very fresh and new.

Stopped reading at 104 as main story was pretty much wrapped up and I wanted to move to another novel to read. Wonderful relaxing read tho even with the spikes of chaos.

MC is definitely a airhead most of the time but at least he can retain most information he learns haha.
