This novel starts out strong, but doesn't really know its identity so it collapses upon itself.

The beginning is strong. I don't think it's terribly difficult to understand the formula for empathy, which is just make a very unfortunate child go through great misfortune, the fact that the novel can capture this level of empathy through the story, characters, and setting is still well made. The fact I felt bad for our MC and the guilt-ridden side characters are captured means the novel did a great job. The problem is after.

What... more>> is the novel even going for? Is it supposed to be a cute, fluffy slice of life? Maybe. There's a lot of scenes where it's just our MC acting cute. Or is it a sad misunderstanding type novel? Perhaps. There's constant scenes where the MC misunderstands others' intentions as hostile or Yerin just freaks out at a random comment that the MC throws out. Is it a dungeon/fantasy type novel? It could be, there's always dungeons on the horizon that adventurers try to conquer in the background setting of the novel. Could it be a school-type novel? Our MC does eventually go to some sort of learning institute.

It's just too many genres. Please stick to one. It would have been great to see just our MC struggling to survive picking bottles while making friends. Or it would have been great for our MC to get saved by the guild and live a fluffy life maybe. So on and so forth. Why do you have to just mush together all these themes into one novel? It's disorganized. It feels like I'm reading different genres constantly. Each theme is just overused settings or jokes already told in a different form. Why talk about dungeons, mana, and fights when the other 80% of the novel is just our MC planting herbs and talking to people? It doesn't make sense. <<less

To appreciate this story I feel a reader needs a bit of cultural context: In korea, mandatory public school ends at middle school, which is 14 to 15 years old. After that, a 15 year old gradulate/child is expected to either start working or pay to go to 'high school'. While young people are forbidden from doing high risk jobs, but they do/can work. I highly suspect the MC wasn't an 'adult' as westerners would view it, but more like 'orphan child living in poverty as a teenager'. And in... more>> such a case, not having an Id would seem like a really big deal. Especially in Korea.

I think it's hard for western readers to get this point. In the western world, it's possible to get work without an id, and many western countries have means for people to get ids without being legal citizens. In this manner, illegal immigration is a 'problem' in our societies specifically because its not actually illegal to hire undocumented workers, and therefore only the worker themselves is at risk 'legally'. And that risk is typically simply being detained and deported if caught. Heart breaking if you have a family, but not a big deal for someone flying solo. But things are different in Korea. Illegal immigrants, when caught, can be fined massive amounts of money depending on the duration of their illegal visit and even imprisoned. The 8 year old cat girl would be risking an approximately 15, 000$ fine or up to 3 years in prison if caught trying to do a 'normal' job. Luckily, she ended up in a world with magic and dungeons and can do non-standard work trading monster parts where apparently ids arent checked.

In this context, things start to make more sense. The MC is perhaps, a middle school educated person at best. This would explain their zombie-survival teir knoweldge, as well as their naivete about certain things, and their basic knowledge about living a normal life but also being alien to it. It also explains why they are so absolutely terrified of everything and everyone. A 14 or 15 year old transmigrates to a 14 or 15 year old body, then struggles to survive as a homeless person for 8 years in a country that isnt exactly friendly to forigners, putting them at around 22 years old at the start of the story. As a female pretending to be a male, along side chronic malnutrition while doing physically demanding work, they would still be pretty young looking. I dare say, growth stunted and short. Being four foot (120 cm) is still quite common among the poor in asian countries even after reaching their 20s. One of the main side characters assumes precocious puberty as the explaination for her size, which is a reasonable misunderstanding. But this is my head cannon, the author doesnt specifically clarify these details and leaves it up to our imagination. People get stuck up on this but maybe its not important, since the author chose to directly skip it and head straight into rehabilitating the cute child. Perhaps the narrator is being unreliable, maybe the author is just skipping it. I hope this is clarified in future chapters.

If I were an editor trying to publish this, assuming the author doesnt have a big reveal planned later, I feel like there needed to be a good 1 or 2 chapters dedicated to her struggle pre-transformation to really hammer the point how much having no mana is a handicap and maybe a few more physical descriptions to clarify things such as age, physical size, ect to make the misunderstanding easier to rationalize. To be fair, the author does explore these themes later on through various exmples and events, but it really doesnt hit you until a good 40-50 chapters in just how bad her life probably was as other characters explore the consequences of being manaless and her original age is still ambiguous. As time goes on, it's easy to start believing the supposed misunderstandings and question whether the MC really was an adult even though she mentally insists she was. It's just not really clear how old the mc's transmigrated body was. Either way, her mentality is the result of extreme isolation and chronic stress, which is further influenced by the transformation. In a way, she really does turn into an actual child. She isn't scheming, she doesn't plot, she doesnt try to take advantage of people. She just seems like a fundementally good person and it makes me want to know more. The whole dungeon and magic situation is also in the back ground, hinting at a larger plot.

tldr;

If you are looking to feel some feels, this is a good childcare story to read. Narrator might be unreliable, but theres magic and cuteness. If you don't care about the details, just turn that part of your brain off :D <<less

How... on god's green earth did this ever get a rating of 4.5

The story is as follows (spoilers for chapter 1) :

MC is a guy who gets reincarnated as an infant in another world. For reasons, she looks much older than she actually is and is much weaker than the general populace. She disguises herself as a male and tries to be an adventurer but her weakness makes her a hindrance, leading to her getting bullied slightly. One day, as she was dying, someone checks her status window and finds... more>> she's actually an 8 year old. Shenanigans ensued and she becomes a catgirl who actually looks her age. She is then taken in and cared for by a group of people.

Now onto my complaints.

  1. Why did she disguise herself as a male?
It was clearly established that there hasn't been any EDP445 wannabes who approached her and/or did weird sh*t to her. Either she saw someone else get SAed, which is extremely unlikely since the area (author never bothered to describe the setting) seemed to have excellent security. My assumption is she saw how cute girls were treated in various forms of media in her previous life and assumed the same would be done to her which places her mental capacity at around the same level is a mentally disabled chimpanzee.

2. Why was it necessary for her to be a reincarnated individual?

So far, she has shown herself to have the mental capacity of a 5 year old so I don't see the point of having her be reincarnated if it doesn't affect the plot or her character whatsoever. Why not just make her parents abandon her at the age of 3 or something? I might be completely wrong and it might be a major plot point that will come back to bite me in the ass later but with the level of writing I've seen so far, I find that to be unlikely.

3. Why was it necessary to make her a cat girl?

Basically the entirety of the main cast knows she is an 8 year old, and her mental age isn't that of an 8 year old, so there are 3 possibilities.

The first possibility: This will become an important factor in the story in the future (extremely unlikely)

The second possibility: The main cast is a bunch of moronic a**holes who would abandon an 8 year old just because they don't look the part

The final possibility: They wanted to make her look cute (extremely likely)

4. Why is she so distrustful?

It's been established that MC is constantly verbally ab*sed and has been implied to have been physically bullied a few times. And by few I mean VERY FEW. This makes it weird bc when a high lvl adventurer takes pity on her and helps her out, she becomes paranoid and thinks the adventurer is out to get her and perform sick experiments on her. Sidenote: The adventurer has never done anything remotely bad to MC except complain about her

Basically the story as of right now is: MC shows how pitiful she is----->Adventurer pities her and feels guilty---------------->Adventurer treats her to something nice in a way that makes her easily misunderstood for no apparent reason------------->Relationship grows deeper----------->MC does intense mental gymnastics to convince herself high lvl adventurer is an as*hole also for no apparent reason

It's a warm, cute, slice of life story. And by Slice of Life I MEAN Slice of Life. As in there's NOTHING ELSE. The genre list is f*cked up. There is no Action, no Adventure, bad drama, barely any fantasy, and Slice of Life. So far the story has 1 character (excluding MC), no setting (aside from MC's house which she will likely move out of soon and places like 'famous unnamed burger restaurant'), no stakes, and a character growth so one dimensional you might as well call it character lengthening.

I'll give you a better synopsis: Gang of incompetent losers try to care for a mentally ill, overly dramatic middle aged man in a loli's body <<less

For people who think it's weird how young MC acts despite supposedly having been an adult before getting transmigrated, answer's below. It bothered me too- anyone reading would think that the MC has the mental age of 24 year old male at the very least, which adds a sinister flavor to all the cuteness thats a little offputting.

Spoilers!

... more>>
Spoiler

It's been giving us hints that the world MC came from is not our own. One of those is how she's completely mystified by the stereotype of cats liking fish, thinking it's some weird, alternate universe thing. Eventually it's revealed that MC was born and "raised" in an apocalyptic zombie apocalypse hellworld. She's so reticent to expect or receive aid because she's was from a world where it was everyone for themselves, and selfishness ruled the day. As for how old she is- we don't have an exact number, but her wording at the start was that she'd completed education and was old enough to take care of herself. In our world that's gonna be 16-18, but in a selfish zombie hellworld that could be as young as like 8 or 9.

If you don't think too hard about it, it's a decent wholesome, comedy/misunderstanding, child care novel. The progression of the story and the relationships between characters are good. However, the premise of the story is downright awful.

The thing is, even though our MC is mana-less in a world with magic, it's still a modern world with laws. For some odd reason instead of getting a menial job our MC decides to hunt monsters even though they're literally the weakest person in the world. Because they're so weak, they risk their... more>> life everyday gathering a meager amount of monster loot. They end up having to camp outdoors and basically live like a feral person, while dumpster diving occasionally and hoarding tr*sh.

A lot of what the MC did and why they were in this situation are never properly explained. IMO there were at least like 100 things the MC could have tried before going "Welp living in the forest and eating grass is my life now, " for 8 whole years.

Right now I'm assuming that the MC is unreliable narrator and there's a twist/reason why they have trust issues and act so young mentally. But honestly if not, this would be an even lower score for me. <<less

At this point I think some of the others critical reviews are premature or a bit overblown.

Ultimately this is a dichotomous story. Most of its content is the fluff and wholesome character interactions of the beast kin kids as they go on childish adventures, and interact with adults. With an added layer of comedy as the Main character Gyeoul is often misunderstood.

You really need to have an industrial supply of insulin available to lower your blood sugar levels after reading this stuff. It also might be a good idea to... more>> have a few tissues handy if you are empathetic.

The other side of the coin/story however is its mystery/tragedy in regards to the pitiful past of our characters, which is gradually revealed. This is where things actually get interesting and activate a few braincells. Because underneath the copious amounts of fluff, there actually is a story the author is actually progressing and foreshadowing piece by piece. We are learning substantial amounts of the characters backstories largely as the guardians of the kids learn them (in addition to perspective the MC gives).

Let's just say that many of the assumptions people are making about MC backstory in the critical reviews are off the mark, and that with present context things are starting to make a lot more sense. The pieces are gradually falling in place. Especially when you understand the MC has a warped perspective of herself and her past (both as Gyeoul and past life, the latter which she may not even remember completely).

If I were to find a single example of what this story is like, it's kinda similar to Anzu in Hinamatsuri.

The Story

A brief synopsis: The main character who was male in her past life is reincarnated as a Girl in a dungeon break style world (probably earth, but it may be an earth analogue). The MC had a extremely rare condition where she had no mana, which meant even hunting the weakest monster such as a horned rabbit was a dangerous ordeal. Which caused her to be mistreated by others who viewed her as pathetic/deranged for being the equivalent of a grown man being terrified of hamsters like they were hungry tigers. (MC pretended to be a man to protect herself).

MC gets fatally injured, and it's only when someone tries to heal her that they see how dangerous it was (since healing magic doesn't work on manaless people). They realize the truth of the situation. So they use an artifact to save her life, which ends up reverting her age and turning her into a cat beastkin.

The guild ends up taking responsibility for taking care of her, and further investigates her past.

The story has a few basic arc so far:

Mistrust arc- MC doesn't trust/accept kindness due to past experiences. She will overcome that.

Beastkin arc- Because of artifact used, MC is an important figure to beastkin. Which leads to the introduction of new major characters in the story.

Past investigation/Dark King arc- The guild/audience learns more about MC past in this world. Audience learns some more details about the circumstances behind MC reincarnation. Dark King is awesome for the story.

Current arc- Unclear where it is headed. It will probably involve more details about MC past life as another discovered MC may be from another world. (Just happened).

Other reviews have criticized the writing because of MC decisions made. I would just point out that it is perfectly consistent with reality, where people don't always think things through or make the most rational choices. We live in a real global world where a sizable number of people think the world is actually flat. Where people spend tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars getting degrees that have little or no economical prospects. Where people get themselves drunk as hell, suffer terrible hangovers, and immediately go back to do it all over again. You have elected political figures think about things like injecting bleach into bloodstream to possibly fight a virus, or that an island like Guam will tip over and capsize if more people lived there.

The main character on the otherhand has legitimate concerns and past experiences of multiple which shape her choices. Given the insanity and irrationality of people in real life, it's perfectly consistent that someone in her situation and experiences could make the choice MC did.

TLDR

This story is not a complex masterpiece. It's a lot of wholesome fluff mirrored with tragic past and mysterious backstory that enhances the fluff and keeps it from being overpowering. Do not let the early start where MC is mistrustful stop you, because that is just a phase that will end and make more sense later.

If you read this story and feel no emotions at all, you should probably get yourself checked out. <<less

There's a lot of criticism with how the MC is acting and how they behave, which is actually covered by a twist. The twist comes around chapter 100, and the premise is actually genuinely interesting to me. That being said, you have to read over that many chapters to get to it, which is understandable. My main gripes with the story stem from two points: the attempt to set up conflict with small matters and the continuous use of the misunderstanding troupe. While I love a good misunderstanding, without good... more>> comedic writing that gets stale after a long time, and this is one of those situations. At least for me? The attempts to set up conflict later on are clearly made to hint to the bigger plot, but are kind of formulaic to read through, and at points I did want to put it down. the author also clearly knows his audience, which means boatloads of fluff and extraneous details. It's to the point where the MAIN STORY is literally sidelined for the fluff. I'm not complaining, but it might not be for you. Still, this is a solid novel if you want a fluffy story with some background conflict. This never turns into an action novel or an sobfest, so props to that. <<less

Dropped. It was supposed to be either tragic or cheerful. But then came the unimpressive boring fighting. Fighting isn't the problem, this one just did a bad job. Not all novels need a strong fighter MC. Its better to not include it if its gonna be meh.

Then came the 3 IQ logics. Every single people in this novel is literal 3IQ who cant predict the obvious. Dont let me start talking about the beast race higher ups, which is actually literal 2IQs. Even the supposedly old shark grandma. And the... more>> MC, why a grown a*s man from our world act like that? If you made it so that she lost memories but has fragments of them, I would have said ok. But this? Its just nonsense. If this was solely fluffy novel I would have continued. If this was solely action novel with fights, I would still continue. I dont mind different genres. But holy moly, I f*king MIND illogical plots and 3IQ characters. I mind weird mix of genres. <<less

Prologue summary

Male MC unknowingly transmigrated into a modern world + mana + monster dungeon portals, as a female child without mana.

MC lost and clueless, found out he looks angel-like as a vulnerability, decides to hide his face and gender. Determined to not rely on people unless desperate.

... more>> Thus, suffered years homeless without achievement because everyone is a superhuman. Attempts to seek help ended up looking like hopeless adult wanting to leech off, due to his adult size (?) and unprecedented strength weaker than babies.

Ultimately, MC gets fatally wounded by Horned rabbit. Nearby, a 'famous guild' patroller treated it as a joke, like acting dead after bitten by hamster. Horrifyingly found out that MC is dying, uses healing magic but it doesn't work on manaless body. Left with no choice, they activated a super relic that transform target into human beast kin. Now, MC obtained a body with mana suitable for healing.

------------------

Then MC began the new life of saint cat loli, charming everyone with benevolence while guilt-tripping them naively.

  1. MC basically is a child with some adult knowledge. No need think too much.
  2. Story slowly unfolds on MC's sad past and new world.
  3. Simple daily life of a child independence + little bits of fighting as hunter in guild.
  4. Fluff with thorns, 10/10 will fluff again.

Ridiculous, is the word I would use to describe this novel. The beginning was a little confusing, but it is what it is. Then it becomes like 90 chapters of misunderstandings (and I've only read up to ch 100).

It was cute and kind of funny, and you feel bad for the MC 40 chapters in. But there's threshold for how many misunderstandings there can be and this novel crossed it many times over. The comedy has fallen flat and the MC just sounds overly dramatic.

It's fun, but I kind of hate stories where the MC changes gender for no reason. I don't see a single way the story would need to change if the MC had been female in their past life.

All gender in stories is arbitrary to some extent, because in many stories nothing much would change if the character's gender changed, but I feel like deliberately changing a character's gender should only be done if the effects will be shown in the story. Otherwise it feels like a strange distraction from the... more>> rest of the plot. <<less

Okay so reading the reviews I see a lot of misunderstanding about the MCs situation. Which to be fair is pretty convoluted.

TLDR version: an adult male is isekaied to an alternate dimension Korea. During that his Gender is changed to female. She doesn't have any mana being an otherworlder so instead of cheats got a handicap. Is saved by having Her age reduced and race changed to Beastkin.

So basically started as 25 year old (guessing never specifically said) male. Turned to 25 year old female. 8 years later. Then turned... more>> into 5ish year old cat beastkin female.

The MC is an earthling from our Earth. He somehow got teleported to an alternate dimension Earth. This new Earth is basically like ours but with Mana.

Somehow the teleportation also changed his Gender into a girl. So now MC being from our world is in a new one. She now knows no one. Has no ID. Cannot use mana which basically means in this world that she effectively has a major handicap like brittle bone disease and the inability to have blood clot in our world.

So given these circumstances and the fact that she changed to look pretty cute she did the smart thing first and hid her gender then worked to survive anyway she could as a homeless person.

At this point she is a grown woman pretending to be a boy so looks like a young man. She spends 8 years living by scavenging and doing everything she can to survive. Sadly this world is just as unforgiving to the homeless population as our world so she not only doesn't get any help but is actively mocked and bullied.

Where the story starts she has lived 8 years like this in another world. She has established a very frugal mindset just to survive.

She is almost killed by a horned rabbit. The equivalent of a hamster in our world, but a very real monster for someone with no mana.

Someone checks her status to heal her and it says her age is 8. She is not 8 years old. She has been in this alternate world for 8 years but bleeding to death can't convey that. The guild having learned her circumstances uses an item that reverts whoever used it to a child with a body of a beastkin.

No one used it before because you would lose all your power and have to start from scratch, but it was the only way to save manaless MC.

Now MC is an adult who has only interacted with people in this new world who have been hostile intent and cruel for 8 years. She wakes up from being laughed at while on deaths door to see one of the people who laughed standing over her. She is now smaller and her body has been changed to have beast parts. I don't think it's a stretch for anyone in that situation to think they modified you to sell you.

The misunderstandings come from a difference in perspective. As I said above the MC has spent 8 years living as a handicapped homeless person. That time has greatly altered her outlook on life.

1) Nothing is free. Anyone who says it is is most likely trying to trap you.

2) Being dirty is the best way to hide your scent especially when there are wild boars around.

3) Stealing is wrong.

4) If it ain't completely tr*shed it can be reused.

She lives by these rules because it's how she has survived all alone for 8 years. So imagine someone tries to give you for free some fresh smelling cloths while trying to throw away your perfectly usable ones. That is not only a useless gift, but even a dangerous one and they stole what's yours in the process. Add in that the person giving these is someone who has repeatedly laughed and ignored you and you can kind of understand why MC takes the Guilds kind intentions as ill will. They are vastly stronger than her and she is effectively not on the grid. No one would bat an eye if she dissapears and she has no one who would care.

All in all I enjoy the story for the heartwarming parts and it does seem the guild has recognized their errors and is trying to correct them. It would be really easy for people as powerful as them to force the MC to change her living conditions or to bury her and avoid a PR disaster. The fact that they don't and are trying to slowly earn her trust is nice in my book. <<less

Hosh is right. The author lacks creativity. The MC is s*upid. The characters are all 1 dimensional. The comedy was kinda funny at first, but 10 chapters in and that's basically it. No need to go any further.

Also the beastmen are absolutely annoying. Every time they showed up I was hoping some satellite orbital would have a freak accident and flatten the entire town. Really pisses me off how they're like "We're going to ens*ave some random person into being our paper pusher for the rest of their lives because blah blah blah we respect the strong" or other such drivel. I've always hated the meathead tropes.

This is a good heartwarming slice of life novel with a sprinkle of fantasy. The relationships between the characters are sweet and the children are very loveable.

One word of advice: If you read this you need to think of the mc's brain reverting to an actual 8 year old's in order to get through it without getting annoyed thinking why they're so s*upid.

The novel definitely has its downsides but I think its enjoyable enough to read that they dont ruin it.

The author doesnt seem to understand the concept of gender... more>> and gets it confused with s*x so its impossible to figure out MCs gender (gender isn't something that changes just because you're in a different body). They strongly identify as a male in their past life, but never brings up living in a female body as an issue or experiencing gender dysphoria and is fine with being treated as a girl - are they trans male or gender fluid?

The author hangs onto certain routines for way too long and relies on misunderstanding and the MC never speaking up to clarify them which gets tiring. E.g MC distrusts yeorum for so long at the beginning which could have been resolved much quicker and got very boring.

MC is always confused why people treat them like a child, somehow only realises they're in an 8 year old body after 180 chapters, and even then still gets confused, as if everyone should just assume she's an adult, despite treating a 10 year old as a child. No matter how many times this happens they never clarify their actual age to the people closest to them even after revealing their background, just so the author can keep writing these scenarios.

The whole story is a big pity party, the author is obsessed with people feeling bad for the children and so prolongs their poor living situation even though there are obvious solutions.

It would be a lot more enjoyable if the story branched out more into the action side of things and showed MC fighting in dungeons, rather than just occasionally mentioning it, to keep it interesting. <<less

It’s pretty good for a SOL novel, something’s don’t really make sense if you think about it too hard. Like the fact the children act about half their ages but whatever.

Another silly thing that bothers me way more than it should is that when Gyeoul is happy her tail wags even though she’s supposed to be a cat and not a dog. I know it’s s*upid to be upset by this but was it too hard to look up cat behaviors or to just make her a dog or wolf?

Other... more>> than that it’s pretty cute and I enjoyed it a lot. <<less

This is a weird mix of fluff, comedy and depressive read.

The main character has lived a really hard life and has almost lost trust in humanity completely, but thanks to the persistance of people around her when they learn of her circumstances she opens up and slowly learns to become a normal human again.

It's a must read, but a fair warning: All the cuteness and fluff will have a depressive undertone due to the MC's personality and world view.

At my first go, I went through the first 48 chapters. It was a fairly enjoyable story, full of comedic misunderstandings and wholesome fluff. The MC seemed just too pitiable. This week I decided to keep on reading after a hiatus, and I'm glad I did. The story behind the MC is something else. The wholesome fluff keeps up and the misunderstandings never stop - and then a heavy plot hits you from behind, and it makes me all the more glad I stuck through reading the book. Its enjoyable... more>> all the way, whether it be from an empathy that makes you cry, wholesome moments that make you laugh, or heavy plot lines that really, actually make you go, "Oh my gosh...."

This novel hits all the right points for me. All the people giving it 2 stars or whatever just did not give it a proper chance, are simply too critical over ultimately minor details for no good reason, or its simply not their genre. But I've found its certainly my genre - I've been pleasantly surprised by how much depth this book has. I totally recommend. <<less

This is a good story, and for me a sad one also.

Below is my honest opinion, spoiler warning!

... more>>
Spoiler

This is a heartwarming story about a girl in poverty where her body was categorized as the weakest among human. She always in the brink of death because of harassment by many people, when I said many its many not a few and even then this many is only the known ones. People harassed her because they thought FMC was a small adult male who can't do anything, so people thought her as a useless adult. Keep in mind in their world Mana is everywhere and there is no case where a person have no mana at all. FMC was a manaless person with only 8 years old body, so her body is so weak and any small hit from beings with mana is like getting hit with a sledgehammer and often time she fainted. But still she have the heart of a saint, she is forgiving.

After knowing her true gender and age, people felt very guilty about her. So, many people started to make amends and be good to her from there on.

The sad thing is FMC always thought being born weak is her fault. So she always think any harassment to her is her own fault because she is so weak. She never resented anyone, not even the one who constantly bullied her.

This is one of those super high difficulty "transmigrated into a childcare world" type, of course the main difficulty in this one is surviving for 8 years until the prospective guardians show up which is done by the first chapter. It's a heartwarming type of story with a distrustful MC and a dungeon and magic urban backdrop in a different or parallel world.

This is my speculation but MC was in all likelihood an orphaned boy that got transmigrated into a girls body, in any case she had no mana like... more>> the natives and no support so she closed off her heart and decided to make the best out of her situation. She of course dies eventually, probably by pushing herself so hard and it's rescued by the titular guild who realizes she's not some random hobo but a pitiful child and they love children (of course) by using a beastkin blessing that reconstructs her body and makes her into a cat girl... And turns her into a prospective beastkin monarch.

The fact that the protagonist is so naïve and clueless is jarring for example she thinks a burger joint is a luxury restaurant yet she's surprisingly adept at survival knowledge she knows how to tend to crops and fishing techniques and fish habitats. It's a weird combination that's left to be explained hence my earlier speculation, there's a distinctive lack of background info on MC. There's also the fact that adults have been harsh to her in this literal foreign world where she's an alien so she's justified in her distrustfulness.

It's funny to try and see her cope with her new wild instincts and the expectations of the beastkins and to see how the guild does to get closer to her. It seem that her life should enter easy mode if she accepts refugee status with the guild but her wild nature seems to refuse such a path

I can't really recommend it with so few chapters but it definitely has potential and it's a good one if you're looking for childcare and Korean modern urban fantasy, which is a rare combination <<less

The biggest sellout for me is the thoughts of MC. Honestly, it's pretty funny to me how the MC can be so cautious and distrustful of people yet can be so innocent at the same time. She had some moments that made me crack with laughter~

Furthermore, she really deserves respect for living through such an atrocious life. Surviving for 8 years with a feeble body that can be easily killed by a bunny must be hard as sh*t yet she can't even call for help because everyone thought she was... more>> a useless man (she tried to look like a boy to live) who can't even learn anything and defeat an easy rabbit.

Oh and did I mention that she is distrustful?

I really meant it, she had it hard and truly deserved the love but she is wary of people because of the neglects and misunderstandings. Currently c12 and I still haven't seen her open up to anyone yet... maybe except the random boy at the playground (he's just harmless, not needed to be wary of). MC doesn't feel wary of children which is cute.

The strongest point of this novel is definitely the MC. She's so adorable, funny, and cute yet also so determined and strong-minded you know~ <<less

I've been enjoying the read, particularly the lil one's antics.

That said, the start was really rough and shaky to me. It pretty much ruins everything since it is also the main focus of the series.
Spoiler

The supposed to be goody two shoes guild just ignored and even hated someone in need cause they just couldn't help but be a failure--MC. Only help said guild did was try to teach MC like regular adventures but beyond that, they did nothing. They knew MC was struggling hard and was getting bullied but they did nothing about those, even mocked and looked down on the MC. They become actually nice once they find out MC is just a child and a irregular one after MC almost died btw. So, yeah, irksome. They couldn't, like, helped MC find a job or so that he could've actually done? Apparently not, not even being a simple porter of items but they just kept on judging him as a utter failure and baggage that no one wants to care for one bit until then.

[collapse]

Which brings me to the next thing that I wasn't so fond of, MCs slow development.

As others have mentioned, MCs misunderstanding trope runs for quit a long time. She also stays quite submissive and weak which was understandable at the start but with little to no development, it gets old and very frustrating especially in moments where she needs to stand up for herself and others.

Then there's the world building that I found messy, felt like the story was being railroad quite hard, given how the characters behaved and thought. The dungeon creation is also interesting but I didn't like the execution, it seemed all over the place for me. Would've been better to just stick to one genre, the staple fantasy one I think.
Spoiler

Supposed to have dungeons that can not only disrupt space but also time on top breaking dimensions which is exactly the MCs OG world--Zombie Apocalypse World that will appear as a dungeon later which somehow is supposed to get fixed and turn back time after being cleared as a dungeon to explore in MCs current world. There's also supposed to e dungeons that appear to tell tales but is not actually dangerous at all which is also directly tied to the Mc-- The one that summoned the MC to the new world was from said dungeon which also becomes part of the MCs family later on.

On that note, had fun but it was also rough.
