What I love greatly about this is that, even though the ML isn't incompetent by any means, the ML is clearly handicapped at the beginning of the novel. So the MC is the one who manages to save the day by relying on her wit and ingenuity to get through most of the obstacles and troubles the ML and MC encounter. The author at least attempts to keep the MC's abilities and reactions believable. The best part, imho, is that most of the times those attempts are done well enough that a reader can buy into them too.

The other thing is that the MC's and ML's interactions are the best! There's not really any romance so far because of the ML's situation:

The MC thinks the ML is a child but treats him like a pet because (1) he has yet to reveal his true form to her and (2) his injuries forces him to resign himself to her treatment. This leads to some extremely funny moments, like her trying to determine his gender or taking his temperature the same way we would a cat's. His poor dignity lol!

The ML decides to tag along with her because she saved him first and she's going to a place he thinks will cure his own problem. It's cute to see him slowly warming up to her.

Especially so with the ML, who the author shows to be NOT human. This is one of the best aspects the author creates with this story. The author clearly defines the differences between the beastmen and humans and the differences in the various beastmen types. Through various interactions the MC has with different characters, we get a better understanding of how a human's common sense wouldn't match with someone from a different species and way of life.

And props to the author for having the MC stick with the goal of finding home. She's in a totally different and more hostile world, where she doesn't truly have a reason to expect a way back home. But instead of giving up and coping with how to settle, the MC holds onto the slimmest of hopes that she might be able to get back and perseveres. She continues to keep trying despite setbacks. Readers are able to see when her spirit strains but, nonetheless, never breaks, and we're able to empathize with her because of how believable the author makes it. I love how the author can realistically showcase the strength of hope without making it seem like something that would only happen in stories.

I also adore how much perseverance and resourcefulness the MC has. The author makes sure to not make her OP and gives her abilities pretty solid foundations. I continue to be impressed with the author's characterization of the MC, in how empowering she is on her own. She finds out that her original plan of going home is no longer available to her, but doesn't let that stop her from finding a new path. She also continues to rely on and develop her own abilities to get her out of rough situations instead of just waiting for someone to come save her.

I also love how the author subverts the MC's "space" and prevents it from being a typical deus ex machina. Instead, the author actually cares to explore its mystery and makes it a plot-point in the story.

I'm also impressed with how the author is able to illustrate the changes in the ML's behavior in a way that doesn't seem forced or out of character. He still has the traits of being overly independent, impatient, almost cruel/cold, and arrogant in himself, with both his race and his abilities. But he's developing the ability to have trust, patience, and understanding in the MC to a degree that it's also affecting his previous stated traits. I like how the author shows that the MC didn't "fix" the ML, but merely influenced his perspective of the world. The ML's new outlook in turn causes his character developments.

P.S. why do chinese novels describe s*x scenes so weirdly - do all of them have a pain/humiliation kink or what??? It's really weird to read the gratuitous descriptions of how she cried a lot and was it pain every time ML f*cked her but it's treated like it's ok?!? I mean not all novels, but I've seen exactly the same "style" in Doomed to be Cannon Fodder and it's really weird...

Yes, I'm talking about her superpowers which appeared out of nowhere and are extremely OP without an ounce of explanation, and the crappy worldbuilding, AND even worse characterisation - I mean a literal caveman that can learn to drive a car in ONE day?!? AND integrate into modern society without suspicion??? Language barrier, anyone???

im not sure if there was actual r*pe or not. Maybe it was attempted force but I dont know if he penetrated or not before she stun gunned him.

There's one part in the beginning where they both are almost dying and struggling after the MC picks up the ML (who is a leopard cub due to reasons) and they get helped out by this dude called Eric. Basically the ML is a carnivore animal who eats herbivores, and this deer guy called Eric is the one who helps them out and he's a herbivore. Both the MC and ML are kinda incapable of doing anything by themselves and they constantly get helped out by him. But he's not even a second male lead, he just appears there for a while to help them out then disappears.

Then later on, while the ML is in his defenseless cub form and the MC can't do anything, the ML goes on board the enemy boat and gets captured. Later he defends it by saying he's scouting out the enemy or something. Okay... so the author has set up all this hinting you are a defenseless person but now you can infiltrate enemy place? Well okay author. Suddenly the MC also pulls out a stun baton and whacks people and helps them navigate the boat through a dangerous reef. I don't even know how the MC can just navigate it by looking at a map but the enemy can't. Like wut?

There's also one part where the MC falls asleep in a cave which belongs to a bear, and the bear almost wanted to r*pe her / eat her cuz he thinks she's a herbivore. Like... he already showed hostility to you and you just FALL ASLEEP NEXT TO HIM?? I wanted to facepalm. By the way the bear takes her bag which ends up being sold and passed around and sent to conveniently the enemy ship which they infiltrated. So of course she gets it back.

Like... okay. I get the not being able to barter for your bag when the seller who got it from the bear was trying to sell it. She's just an original teenager, she can't haggle like grown ups at markets. But the bag conveniently being bought by the enemy and she gets it back? Like wow deus ex machina.

For example, at the epilogue, when the MC has a baby with the ML, the baby grows up into a carnivore of course. Then when the ML is talking with the child and training the child to hunt, the child is like "well okay you can't tell mum I hunted some deer" and the author is like "because the MC had friends with the deer community, but other herbivores could be hunted to be eaten". And it's like... did you just imply that her son probably killed and ate Eric who saved the MC and ML??? There's also the whole ML being a yandere and he doesn't like her crossing worlds to see her parents. Like okay, she gives up completing her college education, and even has to give up seeing her parents. The author just kills them off with the father dying of disease and then the mother becomes sick and the author literally writes "Fortunately, she soon died."

she blows up his house while experimenting with bombs (yes bombs don't ask me how she knows about how to make BOMBS as a normal teenager) but he says it's okay since it was built for her and he builds another better house for her and him.

of crafting bombs

Eng Translation is up to ch 68 as of today and I got impatient and read the last few chapters through Google Translate. It's a good ending!! She goes back to Ryan. She and Ryan can freely go back through both worlds and they have a healthy and strong son!! I cried for the last ch though because her parents passed away due to an illness and old age too. So Ryan comforts our female lead by saying that he'll die after her. I'm just like noooo. Dammit!! The tears!!

So MC finds out ML lied to keep her with him. Note, at this point, they're already in a relationship. And she snaps at him with, wait for it...'Well, I didn't want to be in a relationship with a leopard' and she runs away after that. ML stays with those horrible words for 3 whole years.

her parents passed away...

I need a sequel man I wanna see what Ryan decided to do with the knowledge he learned with the humans & what he's going to do with the guns n grenades he brought back. Maybe he's going to develop his clans forces into a proper military?

• She decided to make an explosive for self protection. Later because of her carelessness, Holden (the wolf clan's patriarch) came to know about it and offered ML 50 females in exchange for MC. When it didn't success, the wolf clan attacked the leopard clan while ML was away. Because of it, MC bravely used the explosive to chase away the wolf clan, sucessfully attracted other leopard's greed. In the end, MC and ML agreed to teach other leopard to make an explosive but restricted the use only for defense. Really? Introduce an explosive to a primitive beast with cruel nature? While they're still alive (and also while ML was still the clan's leader), ML and MC maybe could control the use of those explosives. But when they were dead (or when he was no longer the leader), will they still be able to control it? I don't think so.
• MC overheard ML and his subordinate's conversation about how they were deceived her about Pat's death. Instead of concealing her emotion and tried to run away from ML while he went hunting, MC chose to confront him about it directly and sucessfully made ML angry and confined her in their house.
• After 3 years, MC came back to the beast world but she was afraid to meet ML again. However, she still rescued an injured leopard cub and even accidentally called him "Tao Tao" (ML's pet name given by MC). Wasn't it deliberately giving a clue for ML to find her? And of course because of it ML could find her.

• When they met at the first time and she rescued him from the wolf clan, ML lied about his real identity to MC. As a smart beast, he should know that it will lead MC to the danger because he was hunted down by many other beasts. But he stubbornly clinged himself to MC because somehow her space could help ML regained his strength. In the end, she almost died in the hand of one of his clansman.
• ML knew that by bringing MC back to his clan would put MC in precareous situation because leopard clan always shared their female. But he still brought her there and in the end, she almost got r*ped by his clansman.
• He lied to MC about Pat's death because he didn't want her to go back to her world. After MC found out about it, he still didn't want to let go of MC and even confined her in his house so she couldn't run away. He also wanted to ra*e her.
• When MC came back after 3 years of separation, ML confined her in the cave and repeatedly had s*x with her day and night for 5 days without letting MC got a proper rest.
• He deliberately kept MC away from their own child because of jealousy. He was even jealous of MC's cat.

• What was MC's space and why was she suddenly got the ability to go to the beast world?
• Why did ML's body change into a cub after being injured by Holden? And why MC's space had the ability to make ML gained is strengh?
• When ML went with MC to her world, he managed to get a gun from black market and even bought her a diamond ring. Till the end, ML never told MC about the things that he has done in order to get those things and left it vague.
• What happened to Holden? And also Pat?
