I’m Using the Interstellar Live Broadcast to Raise Cubs

Description

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

Gu YuMian works as a zookeeper and lives a stable life. Until one day, when he transmigrates to the interstellar era which is different from what he imagined.

Hot microblog search: #Humans have been officially listed as an endangered species.#

The headline of the daily newspaper: [Annual salary is ten million, and there is no one to take it?! Mainecoon Cat Prime Minister said he offered high prices to recruit service workers for grooming, cat cooking, and manicure cutting, but no one has applied in fifty years.]

Gu YuMian: ….

Ten million a year? Coincidentally, he was a professional zookeeper.

Other anchors focus on things popular, fans and intrigue. Gu YuMian focuses on making cat meals, combing ErHa’s hair and little fox’s tail and feeding the panda cub. His live broadcast became more and more popular.

Later, Gu YuMian found out that the snow leopard he picked up was the Emperor of the Empire, the panda was a famous star, little fox was the chief of the biggest science institute and Erha was the hottest novelist in the whole world?!

It's very cute but also your typical "reborn and now famous interstellar live streamer that has cool earth things no one else has". You might as well throw the zookeeper part out the window, it's 99% a cooking novel. What used to be "I know the best way to care for animals" just becomes him making normal food like sukiyaki, dim sum or berry tarts and sometimes MC washes/brushes them. The main thing about MC is that he's basically a walking relaxant drug for animals and his live streams are... more>> basically a cooking asmr + soothing daily vlogging channel. He shoots to stardom quickly, and the story never stops telling you that he gains views/follower at light speed.

it's definitely not a bad read, it's honestly pretty good and very sweet. The netizen commentary is abundant, the baby animals are cute, MC is soothing and very smooth. However, the fact that it turned into a cooking novel might be a negative if you weren't looking for such a thing. Secondly the entire world bends over backwards for MC, even AI programming desperately want to get close to MC/love his cooking. The entire novel is mostly only one flavor (sweet) + MC is OP and constantly draws in a huge following is beaten into your skull at almost every opportunity. Binging it can be tiring because everything you read is just the same thing, different scenario. Still, sometimes you just want some uncomplicated, good fluff, and when that time hits this will surely scratch that itch. <<less

Fluffy? Yes. Cute? Yes. Baby animals? Yes. Food? Yes.

If that's all it takes for you to be satisfied, then you will be very happy to read this novel.

I however was immensely disappointed that a zookeeper, came to a world full of animals and after a few chapters became another food anchor. The first few parts were quite promising, when he showed how to cook meat for felines, as opposed to the cooking method that humans use, showed how to make a pleasant environment for bathing cats and... more>> made a comfortable comb. However, that was where the author stopped trying. This caring and gentle zookeeper fed hotpot, iced watermelon, sweet and sour pork and other human foods to a snow leopard baby. Sure, their stomachs became accustomed to the human food, but the whole 'animals copied human recipes, but those recipes are what humans like and not what animals actually enjoy eating' thing that caught my interest was thrown out the window too quickly. If the problem is that the animals learned from cookbooks that are not meant for their stomachs, then why does MC keep cooking the foods that are in almost every Chinese cookbook (at least in every online cookbook) and everyone acts like it's something special? Wouldn't they have learned the exact same recipes? I just wish he acted like an actual zookeeper. <<less

I would actually rate a bit higher, but as this has a very high rating, I rounded down. As other reviewers have commented, this is a very soothing and relaxing novel. It's a bit like a short dose of what a daily cooking vlogger would be like. I loved the baby snow leopard and the other side characters.

It takes a bit of suspension of disbelief to read this novel, because some of the things the host does is seriously the easiest stuff. While you can buy that when the animal... more>> rebellion happened no one stopped to preserve human ways of cooking, it's hard to believe that they would lose so much old Earth culture and food technique, especially since there are humans still alive in this world (just marginalized) and presumably they've found cookbooks on old Earth. Not to mention that the animals have developed space technology, but they... can't figure out a kebab? Also, catnip grows in the wild, like a weed? So it often feels like everyone else was just dumbed down for the MC to shine.

But it's not the kind of novel where you're supposed to question these things, so if you can turn off that part of your brain and just float along, it's very enjoyable. The MC's super skill isn't his cooking, but his personality. <<less

If you're a huge fan of light, fluffy/ cutesy and no-brainer novels, then you might like this one.

However, if you're expecting some actual plot and substance from this story. Then you'll also be disappointed.

So far, everything has been insanely smooth sailing for MC despite the fact that humans are hated.

... more>> ML was instantly interested in MC after viewing 1 live stream.

Every side characters immediately become dumb as soon as MC comes in the picture.

They magically love MC as soon as they saw him, even though they're racist against humans.

It's also an utter BS that scientists and/or farmers in that galaxy are incapable of growing catnips. But magically again, MC has no problem growing catnips.

Another one that irks me was the scenes with fur combing.

They said that combing/brushing their fur is too painful even when they're done by professionals. & MC noticed that the combs they're using are too sharp. Hence why MC dulled the sharp comb, so that ML won't get hurt from combing

I just find it too hard to accept that, not a single expert or professional noticed that the combs were too sharp for them. But somehow, MC can perfectly see it at a glance. <<less

[HONEST REVIEW]

Firstly, I have to say I find it kinda funny when some reviews giving this novel poor ratings say that this is boring, or the plot is barely even there because, uhm — the first line of the summary is the author literally saying, and here I quote, "Do not read for the plot. Nothing but fluff."

Limited action. No drama. Just fluff.

... more>> Really, it's that simple.

GETTING ON WITH THE REVIEW:

I recommend this if what you're looking for is something lighthearted, easy, with lots of food p*rn, and tooth-rotting fluff to soothe your soul!

The tooth-rotting fluff comes from the interactions that Gu YuMian has with his cubs — the little snow leopard, little panda, little fox and little husky!

The little snow leopard (who is actually the Emperor and the ML) is a whole jar of vinegar with soft paws, and a cunning attitude; the little panda (who is a star in the showbiz) is slow, super adorable and a cute glutton; the little fox (who happens to be the young prodigy from Academy of Sciences) is serious, shy and lovable; and the little husky (a famous writer) is probably my favorite cub who's very hyperactive and hilarious in an endearing way.

(Also they remain little for various reasons which the author makes sure to explain.)

And there's Gu YuMian, the MC, a human who woke up in the Interstellar Era, and started doing live-broadcasts to earn a living to take care of the little snow leopard, but shot to fame cause of his relaxing content.

Alongside the happy fluff moments, you also have wholesome moments that leave you a little teary eyed, or sad. It's just a very nice big family with a lot of warm fuzzy feelings that will leave a fond smile on your face.

Oh, and when I say food p*rn, I really mean food p*rn because the author describes the whole process of Gu YuMian preparing the dishes (makes me want to cook too lol), and even better, there are pictures linked to said dishes to give you a better idea (and a growling stomach) of the food. I liked that torturous detail!

I've seen reviews going on about how they don't like Shuo Han (the ML) and his behavior, but slow down and consider his history. Thank you. And towards the latter chapters, you'll come to know how he's really sweet and he's trying his best in his own way. I know everyone has their own tastes, but don't beat him down too quickly!

So far, I like the progress of the story! Kudos to the neat translation too! <<less

Honestly, it's okay enjoyable, very fluffy and relaxing. However, it's just too white lotus!!! Too ridiculously so!!!! Especially in the beginning when the author establishes the story, basically everyone on earth has no brain and then MC comes to sweep them all away.

Same ingredients and everything (which is another question; how could it possibly be the same ingredients available after hundreds of years, an apocalypse, and a change in the main race??? Even if its synthetic meat, I also wouldn't even synthetic human meat if it were available!!!) and yet... more>> nobody has any concept of cooking? Everybody has an animal form yet nobody knows how to brush their hair without pulling it out and hurting?? Fine, it's possible the recipes available are different (although with that many years and the same ingredients, almost anything would ve discovered anyway or there would be a similar level of culinary research available!!) but everything tastes terrible??

Also, MC happens to eat at one of the most expensive restaurants on Capital Star and it just so happens all the chefs are poisoned and none of the apprentice chefs know how to thaw frozen shrimp??? WAY too white lotus smh. It's also ridiculously how quickly MC's popularity climbs.

Idk, the story itself was okay but all these elements really ruined the experience for me. Still may be worth reading and see if you can make it past these things. Was tempted to rate 2 stars just because I feel the current rating is waaaaay too high. <<less

Dropped. Maybe I should have waited out until 69 but I doubt it man. It's so bloody boring. Thanks for the translation. But unless you want to read about food descriptions from a good looking zookeeper aka top chef (??) then I don't recommend. I dont know where the romance is to be honest.

----------

Omg... The level of OPness and illogicalness (?) is starting to affect me man.

I actually don't mind Mary Sue, OP characters because sometimes it's nice in the face of villains or the authors make it really finny... more>> that readers don't mind it. But this is like OP to the point of boredom. Like it was fine until honestly he somehow was better than f*cking chefs? I suspect the author didn't know how to write anymore about how to take care of wild animals so it straight up was about his food being f*ckin fantastic.

Like the restaurant scene man:
Spoiler

ok but did all 14 chefs need to be absent and the restaurant NOT GIVE HIM A REFUND FOR WAITING FOR HOURS?? like what the plot. And then for some reason they won't give him a refund, but will allow him to use their kitchen and Livestream cooking in it ?? Ok...

[collapse]
that was it for me man. I was like, this is ridiculous.

I don't mind it being far-fetched in general especially with these logistics regarding live streaming in the future. But come on plot: am I missing something here??
Spoiler

how is it that the snow leopard cub is PERFECTLY FINE and then the next second he gets called out by the emperor and the emperor is literally collapsing over him in sickness or something.

[collapse]
was it just a ploy? What? Huh?

I feel like this had so much possibility of being like a cute wholesome fluffy thing, but literally why did the author think he needed to be so op?? It's unnecessary. It's actually ruining at least my experience... <<less

The people who are rating this badly... most of them are saying that there was no depth etc. that this seemed too easy for the MC. Most 'complicated' stories tend to built on the premise of the MC struggling, that there's a major conflict to be crossed over. It's true that this story doesn't have that. Which does validate what they're saying.

Except that the people saying this probably didn't read the plot description's number one sentence: the authors note stating that this novel will be 100% pure fluff. Like?

That means... more>> no angst.... no major conflict where the MC is beat down and struggles..... so yeah.... it's going to be fluffy and seem 'mary sue-ish.'

Also ??? did you expect this to be particularly deep and moving after opening a novel literally called 'I'm Using the Interstellar Live Broadcast to Raise Cubs'? The plot fulfils the title. What... what more did you expect from such a straightforward title. The author makes no such allusions otherwise.

Moving on to the review: again, it's fluffy and it does seem kind of Mary-Sueish or whatever the guy ver. of that is (Gary Stu? Hahaha). I quite enjoy the mc's dynamic with the ml, because this is kind of one of those pampering novels where the MC raises the ML and in turn, the ML takes care of the MC. It's quite simple. There are some zerg mentions/battle mentions, as expect of this interstellar livestreaming emperor/general lover trope.

As stated previously by other reviewers, there's a lot of food mentions in here and the TL does a pretty good job at describing them/providing footnotes with more description if you want. The TL is good, I trust exiled rebel scanlations anyway. If you want a soft read, read the description and the title and if you like both, you'll probably like the novel anyway. <<less

Started out strong, with MC bringing out new animal-cubs keeping menthods, but it slowly degenerated to MC spreading pheromones that calm these animals down instantly, even when spread through the 'internet'... Even most staunch human haters become putty after watching his vlog. Animals are smart enough to develop super-space-technology with smart robots/automatic kitchens etc, but they can't figure out the proper way of using combs or having picnics!! MC's live telecast about picnics are somehow a novelty...

Am I the only one who thinks its weird for all the adult 'cubs'... more>> acting cute just to interact with MC - I suppose that's cute?... ML is a childish vinegar tank, who again magically got attracted to MC's pheromones, and his insomnia and human-animal instability getting cured after living with MC... There's some interest in how the panda family meet their 'ancestor', but not enough to keep reading...

A no-brainer story, may be ok in small doses, but not possible to binge read it... <<less

I've only read up to chapter 27 so far and it's became something I'm not really bothered to pursue in reading.

I dislike how the "cubs" that are actually adults can't just expose their identity as an adult and leave.

I understand the emperor can't expose his identity so lightly but the panda (can't remember his name) can since he's found out how good willed and nice the MC is.

Also, I kinda blame the MC as well since he didn't bother studying about the world after getting a job. I actually enjoyed a bit of the beginning though it of course didn't end up being something I liked.

Overall, I dislike it. This may be your cup of tea but not mine. I'd rather read Cub Raising Association, the Mary's sue is real but I prefer it over this.

Super cute super fluffy. If anything I'd probably compare this series to The Film Emperor's Daily Live Food Broadcast. A wonderful read to just calm down from any kind of day, though that being said, there hasn't been much plot or conflict. It's honestly very smooth sailing, the MC doesn't face any hardship or roadblocks with his broadcasting other than his race being human (but even then it's dispelled within the next few paragraphs), constantly being at the top in trending. So far all of the little cubs have been... more>> introduced, the character dynamic is quite well done (ML being the little childish vinegar tank who occasionally tolerates the other 'idiots', the panda who's more or less blindly excited half the time, the researcher fox who's shy/introverted but is the only responsible one, and the s*upid husky). I can sense that there should be a bigger picture that the series is leading up to, but I'm not quite sure or there yet.
Spoiler

as of chapter 92, the MC is finally preparing to head to Old Earth. MC and ML finally have a confrontation when ML accidentally reveals that he is the snow leopard. There wasn't insta-love if you guys are worried about that, in fact, they are still currently 'fighting/ignoring' each other. A prophecy is delivered to the MC from a witch. The witch says the typical 'you are more powerful than you think' stuff. The panda's family has prepared to meet their 'ancestor' even though they don't know who it is, they've divined that they will meet on Old Earth.

[collapse]
Probably the best part for me is that Gu YuMian is already starting to fall in love with the ML (adult human form), but because of the ML's (cub form) insistence on not having a 'step-mom' keeps trolling himself.

Edit as of completion:

Spoiler

I take back what I said about a potential major plot unravel, the entire thing is 5% racism towards being human that is resolved within three paragraphs, 10% redundant prophecy, 70% fluff (cooking, streaming), 10% significant romantic progress, and 5% tears (yes, I cried when the pandas reunited with 'ancestor Gu'. Overall, it's really quite boring and starts to drag at around chapter 66 and onwards (this is with me being able to binge the raws, so I'm not sure how people will last with waiting 2-3 days for translations). If you came for the fluff and mindlessness, this is it. If you came for plot, it was hinted at for 30+ chapters but ultimately amounted to nothing. Even the ending with the zerg issue was easily resolved by eating them like every other BL novel with zergs.

Hence why despite all my previous ratings of 4 stars, I'm dropping it to a 2.

Everything you need to know about this novel:

  1. I would give this a lower rating, but the author did warn that this was 100% fluff.
  2. Standard plot, OP MC and overall a no effort required to read plot.
  3. The cubs are very cute.
  4. Seriously, the childcare aspect of this novel is very cute.
  5. ML is your standard ML
  6. Translation is very good.
  7. There really is nothing remarkable about this novel.
Of course, you need to disconnect from reality before you read this. Any logical thought cannot be entertained in such a setting. But, once again the author... more>> did warn that this was 0 plot, so I expected this.

All in all, this is a kind of blank read. Something to cleanse your palate before you move onto the next thing. This requires 0 presence of mind to read and you can pass quite some time with this.

Nothing majorly major happens and everything has a smooth flow. <<less

I wanna cry...

This novel is so heartwarming. It's actually relaxing especially the "Live broadcasts" of the MC is just.... I also wanna just sleep and relax if I was an audience.

It's so warm and fuzzy.

... more>> I really like the interacrions between the cubs. I love them.

I adore the ML. He's just so awkward with the way he tries to spoil the MC since he's never felt the feeling of liking someone. (I wanna cry once I've read his back story) It's also funny how he gets jealous of the other cubs and tries to "sneakily" push them away from the MC so only he can occupy the MC's love. ???

The Pandas! I love the Pandas. (*sobs* I'm so happy for them.) I'm sure that you'll love and treasure them too once you read deeper into the book.

I really, really liked this novel. Sure, the live broadcast part got too much repetitive especially when: "the viewers once again increased and the MC is now at the top broadcasters, setting a new record." It just made me wamt to read the cubs and the audience's reaction once they taste the MC's food.

But then after that arc, there's also a Zerg arc. This is where things get a little bit serious. After this, it's all about the development of the feelings between the MC and the ML.

I love how they just connect with each other and how things seemed to be fated.

I especially love the ending. It's like a warm pot of honey.

Btw, there's also a 3 chapter extra (?) but it has a different theme. It's an ABO world and it's shown that the MC and ML's fate are intertwined with each other and their names will be together even if it's in another world. ❤️✨

I'm just so happy and thankful rnw to the author of this novel for making such a comfortable and heartwarming novel and to the translator/s and editor/s who picked up this novel.

Thank you for everything and I hope you have a nice day ahead. <<less

Rather than we humans being overwhelmed with affection for animals, these animals are going to be overwhelmed with affection for this human! I'm excited for further chapters and learning stuff via the footnotes~

Edit: I can't figure how to edit it down to 4 stars but

the eating of the Zerg made me uncomfortable since I think they're sentient? So score drop for that solution. Also wished more from the extras but ƪ (˘⌣˘) ʃ

Soooooo, I've read this novel multiple times and I still love it very much. It's so fluffy and just really fun.

AND for the critics that are saying there's no plot, like SalmonRapier said it's all for the fluff and not to read for plot.

And yea the MC is OP but hellooooo, he's in a society where many of the culture and knowledge about human society before is limited. So ofc he is. Some of the critics asked how the MC was better than chef's. Again did u read the novel... more>> properly 🤔 I repeat, he's in an animal dominated society where much of the knowledge abt human culture and food is limited????!!!!!

And personally, I really liked the ML. Like idk about y'all but at least he ain't toxic or anything. He was literally a vinegar jar 🤣🤣 so adorable. Don't judge the ML so much. He improves in the latter chapters.

If u dont like the detailed food explanation, you can skip those Paragraphs. It's that easy. Altho personally, I liked those.

I may sound real immature but honestly, if the author says it's only fluff and nott to read for plot. Why do you guys keep bringing up the plot??? Like I'm in this novel because it's so comforting and sweet. As if you're right there with them, enjoying everyday. It's not stressful for me and sure it can get hard at the middle when there's a lot of food explanation for others but just skip man. And continue reading. Don't just leave a bad review for petty reasons.

Rather than always thinking of what to criticize in a fluff novel, just appreciate the fluff appeal. That's all guys. Have a good read and a good day ヾ (^-^) ノ <<less

Spoiler

the ML spends most of the story in the body of a snow leopard cub and MC doesn't view him as a romantic prospect until most of the story has gone by. At points, the ML makes mild romantic overtures to a clueless (or sleeping) MC, and it definitely feels very one-sided until they end up together.

I would label this story as a family story before a romance story. This is not a story for anyone looking for a deep plot. This is the story for you if you want

in depth food descriptions, cute animal descriptions, and an MC who has an extremely relaxed and easy path to fame and fortune.

Not much plot except a little bit towards that end that is resolved easily. I love it so much tho. It’s a feel good fluffy story with lots of delicious foods and Cubs! This is what I need when I’m in a big depressive mood.

The only ridiculous part (but well I found it absurdly funny) is that they would always praise the food as not greasy and I’m like I feel like that’s impossible??? Especially if he’s not a great a cook as he claims. Maybe he’s just modest or... more>> it’s some side effect of his SS powers? <<less

The thing is, all the criticism holds up. The plot has more holes than the roads in a libertarian state, nothing really happens, the romance doesn't make sense, the characterizations are weak, everything's far too convenient, everybody loves the MC.

And it's just, really nice.

The thing is, I get it. I get how the MC's viewers feel, because that's how I felt reading this story. I have been having a total crapsack of a time this past couple of weeks, and this story was so soothing I actually teared up a... more>> couple of times. The author has an absolute gift for beautiful description that the translator did an incredible job of conveying. I don't know how to describe it besides as textual ASMR. I feel like I'm there in spirit, wrapped in a warm towel straight out of the bath, eating delicious food made by someone with soft voice and gentle hands who cares about me unconditionally and holds me like I'm a kid again. I think you probably need to be at a certain level of exhaustion to really appreciate what this story is.

Is it a well-written story? No. Is it a story with a warm heart that gave me exactly what I didn't even know I needed? Absolutely yes. <<less

Because the summary has a warning, I knew what I was getting myself into when this novel turned out to be nothing but fluff.

However, there is a clear distinction between "good fluff" and "s*upid, brainless fluff, " of which this novel is most definitely the latter.

At first, it seems as if MC is catering his dishes to be animal-friendly, aka partially raw and fairly bland. But at some point, he makes veterinarians across the universe unhappy as he starts cooking world class Chinese cuisine that is totally not safe for... more>> animal consumption. Sure, I get it, animals have evolved 1, 000 years into the future, so they should be able to tolerate more foods. Yet, for some reason these extremely intelligent and way smarter than human animals have never discovered how to take care of themselves. They can invent space ships, but they can't figure out that you shouldn't feed babies yogurt?

MC somehow becomes the most esteemed streamer ever because of his relaxing content. It's so relaxed and repetitive, that even I, the reader, fell asleep. Truly skilled.

As for the romance... no. It's like a mixture of creepy stalker and adult baby fetishism, and it doesn't even make sense. MC only saw ML in person once and texted him maybe twice before he fell hopelessly in love with him.

After a while, I started to get flashbacks of Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast, which is a similarly mediocre, yet slightly more logical novel. If you want to read something with a little more substance, I suggest that novel instead. <<less
