The start is good. A guy reincarnated as a cat (behemoth), and he cat get skills by eating monster (like rou from re:monster). But when you get to chapter 20+ it's become worse. The cat try to hide his power, by sacrificing the potential he has.

It's really rare for me to rate a Japanese novel this low, but I think the author really ****ed up

At first it grabbed my attention that the MC was reincarnated as a monster that had to work his way up the ladder. Unfortunately, the story immediately fell when he introduced the big tittied Keebler elf, reducing the onward chapters into a man writing a 15 page essay on the wonders of tit flesh.

Like seriosuly.... this guy won’t shut up about ti**.

Seriously, this is just one of those novels that lures you in with an awesome summary, when in reality it’s just a ero LN about a guy who gets... more>> away with ecchi stuff thanks to his cute kitten body. <<less

TL;DR: You'll probably like it or hate it.

Expect vulgarity and not-so-subtle female objectification from ch 9 onward. It is tagged as ecchi, but this is absurd. The female lead's breasts are the main point of any interaction involving her. That aside, the plot is pretty bland with a lot of viewpoint switching. I only skimmed ch15-33, but it was more ecchi with bland plot.

The long version: 3 stars for the boring plot, -1 for the vulgarity = 2/5 stars.

This is a pretty vulgar novel, to the point where I found... more>> it off-putting. I'm fine with mature themes (cursing, violence, sex, etc.) but the male mob characters are extremely vocal about "voicing their impressions" such as admiring "those ti**" (11) or "look at those things jiggle!" (c13).

Somewhat more expected (it is ecchi), every interaction the MC (infant behemoth/kitten) has with the female lead either revolves around or mentions her breasts. This escalates further.

That aside, the plot is pretty bland. There's the expected powering up and convenient explanations for the MC's odd behavior and characteristics. There are the usual cliched situations, like the sleezy nobleman adventurer and elf ears being an erogenous zone. The viewpoint is inconsistent--1st person and 3rd person limited, and the focus switches a lot when it's 3rd person. <<less

Everything seems good so far. Expecting abit more world building soon. Nothing too glaring in either the narrative or the translation. Might turn out as a good read.

As long as it doesnt turn out too monotonous it should be good

Interesting story with a twist I didn't see coming. Also at one point the MC tries to hide his abilities but shortly after finds out he can get away with using them so it avoids that pigeonhole. The only problem is that the chapters are kinda short but that's pretty common with light/web novels.

Pervy greatness! No payoff R-18 scene so far, which is a little odd given the author's tendency to play up to just about any kinky fantasy genre weirdness out there, but the story is fun enough to keep you reading. The MC's knightly virtue and romantic drama beneath the comic perviness keep an otherwise bland dungeon story on track. The translation doesn't deliver artistic prose but it avoids grammer distractions and shows a little color during the racy parts, which shows the translator knows where the most detailed work needs... more>> to go. <<less
