The Disabled Tyrant’s Pet Palm Fish [Transmigration]

Description

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

One day, Li Yu transmigrated into a fish. Furthermore, this fish even had a master. This master was the sinister and terrifying, mute tyrant from a novel. The system gave Li Yu a task. If he wanted to change back into a human, he had to obtain the tyrant’s heart.

Li Yu full of tears: System, please wake up. I’m only a fish. He can’t even speak. How can we interact?

System: Stop jabbering. To take down the tyrant, you must attack his heart.

Li Yu: Can I ask, does the tyrant have a heart–

Li Yu did his best to blow bubbles at the tyrant, but ended up being captured by the tyrant and raised carefully in a huge, ginormous…… fish tank. The life of a fish was filled with all sorts of blessings.

Everyday, Mu Tianchi watched the little carp swim around happily, pondering when this fish would finally transform into a human.

The little carp didn’t know. It’s not that the tyrant had no heart, it’s just that he already gave it away to the little carp that accidentally saved his life.

Pretty enjoyed reading this but sometimes I was rolling my eyes when the MC does s*upid things. Ignores blatant clues and then messes up and then cries. Also hate it when villians like to explain their plans infront of everyone for no reason. What's the need to tell each and every bad things you did in past smh.

Anyways, still a good read. Loved the funny moments. A lot of characters got their plots rounded up so it felt quite complete. Beware of mpreg tho, it caught me off guard as... more>> I usually don't read tags before reading a novel.

Good translation by CG. <<less

I LOVED!!!

I have no words to describe how good this novel was. Serious.

It surprised me a lot, I wasn't expecting it, but this plot of the mute ML and the MC being a transmigrated fish interested me a lot, I found it very original, so I decided to read it. Best decision I made!

EVERYTHING is very well developed, the story, each character, the villains, the couple's relationship. Everything was so well developed that I was surprised, I haven't found a novel like this for a long time, the author didn't... more>> leave anything open, even small characters had their endings.

And the couple's relationship is just PERFECT. ML is PERFECT, if one day he made a mistake, he was trying to get it right (laughs). The ML is SO dedicated to the MC and it's as beautiful as the MC is also dedicated to the ML. It's very beautiful to see how the two love each other, how they trust and respect each other, a kind of relationship that I find difficult to find in my readings, of course, I love reading romance, so of course I see a lot of couples in love, but the relationship this MC and ML, the way they treat each other... it's beautiful. <<less

I both love and hate this novel. Mainly, because of the MC's naivety and lack of some consideration.

I take it back. The MC is s*upid but sometimes he goes OOC and suddenly becomes smart. There were many hints about the system's tasks but he decides to throw it at the back of his mind and forgets. In the end, he gets angry about it when the time comes.

... more>>
Spoiler

There were many instances when he made wrong decisions.

One the irked me is when he hid the fact that he was pregnant and ignored the ML. Then acted spoiled and smug when the ML found out. Thus, the ML had to make ways to make it so that the MC who is male actually got pregnant and gave birth.

Then there was that time that the enemy did tricks to make the MC think their children have been kidnapped. The ML clearly assured him that the children are safe but MC did not trust him and ran to out. This resulted in him being scene which caused some effects in his transformation

Thankfully, the ML is devoted, has money and power so it is good.

MC also doesn't have awareness being in ancient times. Almost had a kind cook punished.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Some scenes are also hilarious.

Like that scene when the system announced that MC will be pregnant with a daughter is they continued their bed exercise.

The MC was excited: "She's here! She's here!"

Ultimately, it lead to a female assassin stumbling and getting caught because she thought she was found out.

The duck army was hilarious too. XD

MC's transformations can be both funny and annoying. Fish Head lol

[collapse]

Spoiler

The ending was good, though. At the end they were now a family of five.

Well this story surprisingly good.

Personally I thought that this story would be boring, but it wasn't at all.

This story has a light and funny plot, but at the same time it also has a fairly tense internal conflict, causing this story to have a good balance plot, which prevents us from feeling monotonous because of boredom.

... more>> ML itself is very good, while for MC sometimes he is a little bit slow, but it's not to the point of being an idiot.

The only drawback of this story may lie in the lack of a story after conflict.

I mean there isn't even a bonus chapter at all, which is a shame.

Spoiler

Throughout the story, even though MC and ML's relationship was always sweet, but it never really got to the point where they had a lot of fun, because there was a time limit for the MC to become Human or some other things... So I really wanted a bonus chapter that describes MC & ML having fun as a family without any obstacles or limitations.

The MC is honestly kind of annoying. Too childish and somewhat spoiledly rude to the ML. Before the truth discovered (i mean, both of them know about MC's identity), the relationship between them kinda uncomfortable to me. The MC, once again, too childish and annoying.

The typical I am confused so I ran away and do not want to listen to your explanation. Even though, reality wise, ML didn't do anything wrong at that time. Plus, remember that ML IS MUTE. And the MC still has the audacity to run away... more>> and refuse to listen when the ML clearly need him to calm down and let him (ML) write the explanation.

Indeed, the angst is minimal, but the drama caused by their relationship development honestly not my cup of tea🙂

Disappointed because I thought the MC was likeable like how these majority of reviewers said😔

Rate: 8.5/10 (ML is one of the best, I like him, sooo distressing!) <<less

This is one of the MOST CHARMING stories I have ever read. At the beginning, you might lose some brain cells reading the novel but it's funny if you take the story lightly. As the story progresses, you will realize the beauty of this novel. It's extremely fun to read.

CHARACTERS

I like the ML very much. He is a tyrant as per the book's title but honestly he is the cutest tyrant to ever exist. He can't speak but he has this presence that makes him shine bright throughout... more>> the story. Also, I am extremely glad to say that unlike similar C-BL novels, he as a ML doesn't force himself upon MC and respects MC's feelings very much.

MC is naive but really cute. He isn't the typical meek, submissive boyfriend either. He is strong in his own way. Although he is portrayed as a bottom (I don't like the segregation of top and bottom), he is actually the one who initiates physical intimacy. This is extremely rare in C-novels.

Regarding the side characters, most of them are not one-dimensional. They are really just side characters. The whole focus is only on MC and ML and some on the family of ML and some attendants of MC and ML. They are eccentric and loveable. Also, villains are really detestable. But I am sad that they are only shown to be power hungry to the point of being irrational and not morally grey like every human is.

RELATIONSHIP

The relationship between MC and ML is very healthy. Ever since the beginning of the novel, the relationship between MC and ML as a pet fish and his master was extremely fluffy. Although before their official relationship started, there were some misunderstandings, but after they got together, they were like honey and maple syrup and sugar and everything sweet all mixed together. They have equal footing on the relationship and they immensely care and respect each other. As I have already said, both MC and ML don't force themselves on each other and just let their relationship flow naturally. Although the system somehow forced MC to do things to ML which created some misunderstandings, they were all dealt beautifully.

STORY

The story itself is WELL-BALANCED. Nothing is overdone. Normally, historical C-novels include a lot of unnecessary face-slapping, easy power up, royal dog blood drama and sloppy romance. But this novel has a proper balance of everything.
    • Face-slapping: Face slapping is there but in a moderate amount when it is absolutely necessary. And there are some real face slapping as well, lol. Thank god there are not people who get offended just because MC or ML breathe. There also aren't many cases where literally everyone jumps up onto MC or ML for revenge. MC and ML also have a healthy relationship.
    • Royal Drama: Also most of the times, we see kings to be extremely paranoid and always make worst decisions. They are always led by the nose by some concubine or prince and are always on guard against MC or ML. However, this novel has a king who has his wits preserved and treats ML fairly. In fact, he is really cool and sometimes cute. May be this is the reason why the royal drama isn't irritating. It is well-written and can be said to be somewhat realistic.
    • Serious Moments: Although the novel really is devoid of logic and science sometimes, there really are some moments where I was so overwhelmed.
      Spoiler

      One time MC gets sick and ML gets all panicked and carries MC to take him to the imperial physician instead of asking the physician for a visit. But he is mute so he can't even shout to ask anyone for help. So he coughs and coughs for servants to notice him. Of course he had a bell in his room with which he can summon servants. But he was so anxious that he forgets everything and coughs to grab attention. God, that was so freaking emotional.

      [collapse]
      Also, the fact that MC can get pregnant is also handled well. In the other stories with mpreg where a man transmigrates to a different world where he can suddenly give birth, they act so calm like it's nothing. For example, "Banished to Another World", "Poisonous Peasant Concubine", etc. Even a woman who knows her entire life about pregnancy gets all emotional and faces mood swings during pregnancy. How can a man who suddenly became pregnant not experience that?? But in this story, MC goes through a sudden breakdown was so realistic and touching.

      Although there are so many transmigration novels where MC travels to an ancient era, there are pitifully few novels where women's status gets developed by the MC's effort. Especially in BL novels, since MC is a male, this rarely happens. But in this novel, MC takes steps into uplifting women. In fact, after he gets some royal power, the first drastic thing he does is to change widow's life. Damn, I was so happy!
    • Supernatural: And the supernatural or mythical portion around MC is also well-written, albeit s*upid and funny. This supernatural part makes the story seriously charming. Like really charming!!!
    • Power-up: Also, the things MC has to do to "power up" are so hilarious and awkward. Poor guy! But ML definitely was happy hahaha.
CONCLUSION

All in all, this novel is a fun read. It's relaxing and fluffy. There are some places where things get absolutely absurd but I think that is what makes this novel stand out from other similar novels. I have been reading all these popular transmigration novels for so long but this definitely is the one that has the BEST OF EVERYTHING. I basically didn't get bored a bit, laughed out loud a lot of times, cried a few times and even dreamt about having a relationship despite being ace/aro myself (yeah, the story literally slaps your face with dog food enough to feed all the dogs in the world for their whole life). <<less

Cute MC and devoted ML. Their master-pet relationship is so adorable. And their feeling for each other are developed really well. However when it comes to politic intrigue, this novel sort of failed to present complicated and intense battle for the throne. The story also drags after they got married. There are some parts I think is a bit weird.

... more>>
Spoiler

I found myself laughing when MC, as a fish, could help ML's to repel his enemies. Which is weird since MC is definitely an ordinary fish. Not to mention when the Emperor got convinced by ML that MC could give birth with weird and sloppy excuses??

[collapse]

Even so, it's still worth to read. If you come for the fluff, you will enjoy this novel a lot. <<less

Very very cute and sweet novel about a mute prince and his pet fish. Their first encounter is pretty funny and the process of MC attempting to communicate with ML through their barriers was really interesting.

... more>>
Spoiler

It must've taken ML all the self-restraint in the world not to kill and eat MC in the beginning. Seriously.

[collapse]

There is a lot of action, but there's not really much drama, since ML is a Gary Stu. What's more interesting is the development of MC and ML's relationship through mutual misunderstanding and language barriers. MC's personality was a little too naive, but it's somewhat understandable given that he was only an 18 year old modern teenager. As for ML, everyone thinks that he's a cold tyrant, but he's actually a darling. It's only because he literally cannot talk, so he is unable to defend himself from the rumors.

Their kids were adorable, although the middle two kids didn't get much screen time. Classic middle child syndrome.

I really appreciate the fact that there were feminist elements in this novel. Thanks for making your dynasty better, MC. <<less

I had to take a few breaks reading because it was too cute and my brain cells were also being killed by the s*upidity of MC but otherwise, it's amusing and lighthearted. Wouldn't really recommend as it's honestly a waste of time, but it's alright if you want to turn your brain off for a bit. I really can't justify wasting any more time on this but maybe I'll go back and finish. Looking at the other reviews it seems the plot won't change much.

This MC is so brain dead,... more>> I almost feel bad for his system. There were times that I got annoyed at just how little awareness he had, but MC does have his moments of self reflection that make his dumbness more bearable. He's very much an act first think later kind of person (fish?), and it honestly was unbelievable the mental gymnastics he performed to convince himself that ML had no idea that his human form was the fish.

There's a lot of plot points in this novel that make no logical sense, but so long as you suspend disbelief, it's still enjoyable. At some point I was just laughing to myself thinking about how large these "teacups" would have to be to hold our increasingly large fish. The fact that he can live perfectly fine in literal teacups is also ridiculous, like my brain really hurt trying to justify why MC hadn't already died from lack of oxygen.

Villains in this novel are also a little too dumb, and the court politics are not very engaging since everyone is an idiot. Pretty much every plot point is pushed to the background in favor of showing how cute MC is and how whipped ML is for him. I will however issue a special shout out to the ML for being 100% on board to f*ck his pet fish because bro was ready to go literally as soon as he found out MC had a human form. <<less

Between fish tanks and pillows.

This story was quite a surprise, no red flags, no holes in the plot, funny, pe*verted...

Certainly an essential in the palace dannmei. Personally I would give 4 stars, but would be completely conditioned to the moment mpreg (I still not a fan) but being objective deserves the 5 stars.

The plot could not begin more cliché (person dies reading a book and transmigrate to the novel along with a sh*t system), and at the same time giving it a turn of its own and attractive to the... more>> reader. Creating palace intrigues, and a romance that at first might seem very strange (let’s not forget that the MC is a fish).

I was a hater who eventually became a happy reader who finished this with a deep sigh lol. (I kind of wish it never ended haha)

I'm a fan of MPreg so I kept getting this in my recs lists but I kept putting it off for legit years. Mostly because of some of the negative reviews and well... fish. I'm down for some fantasy with shades of beastiality but... Fish. Like. I couldn't see anything sexy about it. Mermaids I get. Fish? Yah no.

So I vividly remember the first... more>> three times I tried to read this and immediately noped out after a chapter or two because I hated the system and didn't think I'd even enjoy this with a naive protag.

Buuuut. I was going thru CG's completed catalogue and decided to give this one last shot and apply my 10chapter DNF rule. The rating of this novel was promising and if I still disliked it after 10 chapters, at least I'd given it a shot.

I hated how it started because the idea of a fish character really was unattractive to me. But then I hit the 10 chapter mark and I was still reading and I could actually start seeing why people said this was story was pretty cute.

It's not a perfect novel. But I couldn't put it down. I guess I read it at the time I was finally in the right mindset for it (tired from bingeing an array of BL with Hella tonne of noncon with little reward or satisfaction).

Loved the MC. He's a pretty simple, sweet, honest guy. Kind but not a Saint, naive but also showing smarts once and a while.

Loved the ML. Loved the side characters. Loved the kids. Loved the weirdass situations involving fish.

I found a few things I could nitpick but overall, this was a great read to warm the heart. <<less

I've read it and dropped, cause I couldn't stand the MC who was a fish where the initial ch was very entertaining but after reading further and further I became impatient with the plot making me sick. And now I'm trying to read it again from the beginning, but I still can't because my memory of this novel that I once dropped makes me nauseous instantly 🤕🤕

was a sense of novelty, characters are very nice and calm. But starting with chapter 20, there’s a complete lack of logic. The protagonist at first seems smart man, but the further away, they more his intelligence rolls to the fish. Not to mention the plot holes, the lack of physics and the variety of supporting characters. Villains have one plan for all or that

I've seen this novel in numerous recommendation lists before and finally got intrigued enough to read this. I would say that this is entertaining and very cute. It's a palace drama of some sort. There were lots of face slapping (literally and figuratively) but not much of angst. I think that it ended pretty well since the main characters achieved what they desired and the conclusion was very fitting. I also want to commend the translator (s) as they made reading very easy and enjoyable.
