Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.What’s not to love about my new life after transmigrating into a Pet-centered world?
There are mighty creatures that come in all shapes and sizes. They can either be cuddly companions, helpers in your daily life, daring scouts or strong fighters. Or all of the above. Not bad, huh?
I have a family, but the fact is completely overshadowed by my younger sister. She thoroughly hates my guts, and she makes sure that I know this. Every. Single. Day.
Did I mention that she’s disgustingly talented while I am a bottom feeder? A terribly handsome one at that.
I have free rein to run the family business on my own. A small and quaint Pet Store. It should have been great if not for the fact that the previous owner of this body was born with ZERO affinity to handle Astral Pets…
It wouldn’t be a proper transmigration without a gimmick or a system to pave my road to greatness, don’t you think? I have one, but I don’t know if I would be better off without it…

- The MC starts as Lawful Neutral and temporarily shifts to Lawful almost-Evil and gradually ends up as Chaotic Good over the course of the story. That is to say, there's character development involved as he experiences various events. Overall, he's a righteous person and his personality is very interesting. He's a very... emotional person. Not hotheaded, but rather closer to empathetic. He's willing to sacrifice personal gain for the greater good. Very rare for CN protagonists who always have 'cold lights flashing through their eyes' and are extremely benefit driven. Of course, he's still ruthless when the need arises.
- There is actual tension. The MC isn't invincible. And sometimes, he has to pay the price, to the point where he damages his 'perfect foundation' (as is common in System novels). He also makes mistakes, and learns from them. He isn't someone who's got sh*t figured out and is always in the right. He's also rather naive early on and matures over time as he discovers the 'dark side' of cultivation (the indifference towards the weak).
- The MC has friends that he can actually trust with his life. He isn't a loner with some random fatty 'best friend' that's actually an acquaintance at best. He cultivates trusts over time, and others do the same.
- The System has a very sarcastic and snarky personality, which I enjoyed. Its real identity is also very unique and interesting.
- The overarching plot of the story is very interesting and full of mystery. The MC's motivation is to uncover that mystery rather than just obtain fReEdom or rEveNGe.
- The Cultivation system is very consistent. There's no random 'higher realms' getting revealed the moment MC reaches the peak. He becomes aware of the ceiling fairly early on (

) and it remains that way throughout.
- MAJOR Ending Spoilers -

- This story has a proper ending. There is no rushing involved. The final arc has proper build up. This alone I feel warrants a bonus star. It also has a very unexpected ending, in a good way. It's not your generic Wuxia ending at least.
The Cons:when he visits the Golden Crows
The MC actually doesn't become a literal God in the end and swat away all problems with his cultivation. The final battle has the highest stakes and the highest tension. In fact, he has to work together with several strong people to have the slightest chance of success, and it's more a battle of ideology than strength. Hell, he actually loses, but gives his opponent hell anyways. It's a tragic ending.
- The Pokemon style battles don't actually last for long. There's also an in-universe explanation if that matters. I consider this a pro but as some people may try this novel for the pets, I'll list it here. They serve as auxiliary support rather than the main fighting force.
- The story takes a while to take off. There's some random nonsense fluff in the early parts, but it's still fairly enjoyable.
- His early cultivation speed is a little slow, but it picks up later on.
- There's hint of romance but he's too driven in his goals to pursue anything else. A shame.
- Some of the characters get sidelined a little too much, such as his sister.
Overall, 5/5 for having a rather unique MC that actually grows over time and a very interesting story. There's the usual elements of some face slapping and extremely arrogant people (the God race), but even their psyche is justified in a rather interesting way. I do have to say that the overall 'feel' of the story is very different from how it starts. The first few hundred chapters are average, but it gets really good afterwards. PS - As to why he doesn't figure out the 'secret' of the Cultivation Sites when it's painfully obvious to us readers, there's a good reason for that. It gets revealed near the end. For those who want to know:The System deliberately forced him to not realize that. Simply because realizing the truth would 'break' him, the fact that so many of the people he's trying to save and protect are already dead and just part of someone's memories would be too much to bear, with little hope to continue.
If you're looking for a cool story about having a store and a system ? This is not it either Frankly, this is the worst part of this book, it completely ditches its own premises, all of them.
The pets stop being relevant in battle about 1/3 of the way through, the entire things turning into yet another bog standard cultivation story at that point. The pets merely get used as a cheap source of drama when they get endangered or die.
The store ? Anything actually related to running a store was gone 1/10 of the way through, from then on the store is just there as an invincible fortress and a way for the hero to get access to a glorified hyperbolic time chamber. On top of that it suffer from all the same issue xianxia stories have, characters get introduced and discarded constantly, without any sort of development. The MC get new techniques that he barely uses once or twice and then ignore, all the fancy abilities that come with each level up end up sounding way more interesting while the hero doesn't have access to them, because as soon as he does they boil down to "punch harder". I've seen people say the MC shows character growth, but it's not true, character growth comes from the MC reflecting on myself, or being changed by events. This is just straight up inconsistent characterization.
Well, no I guess the character just magically knows who will be an antagonist and from second one decide to just mu*der and act like a complete as*hole to them because they were arrogant, while other people, who act just as arrogant as the antagonist but aren't meant to be antagonist he'll just ignore. Honestly, this story as just one redeeming quality, the translation is decent compared to the utter tr*sh fire MTL you generally run into. It's not perfect though, there are terms that change for no reasons, pronouns and possessive that don't fit, negation is a complete crapshoot. You know, all things that a competent editor would catch effortlessly.
