okk I had already read it a long while ago, and somehow I stumbled across it today, then I decided to rate it.

It's a pretty much of how a standard interstellar, omergaverse story is just replace mermaids with the abo plot.

But still anyway it's a lot of fluff and moe. It's enjoying u know, after u have read a very depressing story u could skim through it.

... more>> MC was a bit too naive for me and ML well not like a king 😂

But anyway it's simply a husband doting his wife.

So I would recommend it to you.

Thanku author and translators for the hard work. <<less

It's a sweet novel about Emperor and his mermaid, which isn't a usual mermaid (as expected). MC has soft personality but he's also a cautious person, he knows how to speak interstellar language but he was aware that it wasn't a good thing because mermaid was supposed to be a pet. Even after he got the mermaid ancestor inheritance he tried to collect information first instead of telling ML. ML may looks like the usual cold type of guy, but he's actually a caring and responsible person. He didn't force... more>> MC to do anything he didn't like and he always tried to understand MC, especially after he got to know that MC wasn't a 'pet' but a mermaid with intellectual awareness.

4 for the plot, 4.5 for the main & side characters' personalities. <<less

I think the story is ok but the MC spent too much time acting like a pet which is highly unusual. He just transmigrated from a zombie apocalypse, there's no way he should be as calm and accepting as he is when it's only been a few days. A normal person would've started learning the language as soon as possible to communicate more and show that all the mermaids are intelligent creatures so he can possibly be free instead he spends half the story acting like a kid. In an... more>> apocalypse I doubt anyone can maintain an innocent character and the way he acts shows nothing of having experienced an apocalypse. It would've made more sense if he was just a random person in a random world. For anyone who may say "he might be experimented on if he does that" they're already basically s*aves. They're forced to mate and don't forget they're the only ones who can help people heal their mental sea. I find it difficult to believe interstellar scientists can't even discover that a species can have an intelligence equal to humans when we literally know in this day and age the intelligence of pigs, dogs, cats, monkeys, and many other animals. Maybe some people like the child looking/acting MC but to me it's extremely off putting that a grown man is acting like a child and that another grown man is attracted to that behavior. The ML often describes him like a child and cute and small and timid and weak and it's again really off putting. The ML basically has all the power in the relationship and the MC doesn't really have a choice not to like him he literally has Stockholm syndrome. <<less

3.75/5*

Another formulaic interstellar story about transmigrated OP MC that has special abilities that can cure people (in this case mental illnesses and restoring spiritual power). As a result he is highly coveted by everyone and he changes the fate of the whole universe.

In this story mermaids are kept as pets that can cure mental disorders. And MC is bought as the only high level mermaid. There is no system here, but MC has a secret identity... more>>
Spoiler

He has actually transmigrated into the Mermaid King who has special water abilities. These abilities he already had during the Apocalypse time he came from. Later on the mermaid clan comes to find their King and in the end joins the interstellar Alliance, making all pet mermaids on equal footing as normal citizens.

[collapse]

I usually love these kind of smooth sailing, instant success interstellar stories. However, I think this story started really great with a interesting premise and right pacing (when focus was on developing relationship between MC/ML), but became draggy in the middle part (when focus shifts to empowering and freeing the other pet mermaids) and the end it became too much of just quickly summing up events and reforms one after another that MC made into a success.

I don't like it if success after success is reported without fleshing it out. It only makes the story and the characters too exaggerated. And the style becomes less and less of writing a story, but more like hurriedly writing some remarks and events. Too eager to wrap it up. Many times I think less is more in these kind of stories. Give MC 1-3 OP abilities is already life changing and more than enough and make sure there is a well executed and fleshed out story and side characters around it, instead of having 10+ major super achievements that no longer feel special.

ML is a super respectful, kind and loving character who fully supports MC. So, no faults here. <<less

I have read a few novels like this one, interstellar background and a MC who transmigrated into a mermaid/rare species/underprivileged minority only to become stronger and more influential, paving the way to equality for the minority group.

I don't mind reading the same trope again and again so I won't dock any points for having a somewhat generic plot.

What did bother me, though, is the human baby of the main CP being such a genius that it is smart enough to already have low self-esteem at eight months old. I don't... more>> mind the mermaid baby since mermaid's inheriting knowledge and growing faster was already established in the world setting. But that human baby... F***ing gosh, one of my pet peeves are unreasonably smart children that talk and act like adults in Chinese novels. <<less

Disclaimer : this review is my own personal opinion, based on my own experience after reading this novel.

Everyone have freedom to decide whether they still want to continue to read or not as each of us has our own preferences...

At the beginning, the plot was quite interesting, made me unable to stop reading for a while. But later, it became more and more ridiculous and illogical. It's boring.

... more>> The good thing about this novel is the fluff. I think it's okay 🤔

The ending is too rushed.

The characters are too shallow in foundation. Nothing special about them worth to be remembered....

There are some mistakes in translation... Some parts are confusing, I can't understand the meaning. Perhaps they should fix it later? 🤔 <<less

this story I guess is not for me.

It is a novel not to think about it too much, if you like this guy I recommend it, if the details kill you, stay away from this story or persevere to chapter 38.

the negative points that I find in the novel are with the protagonist, the rest of the novel is good for a quick reading

... more>>
Spoiler

An Ji's character has many inconsistencies, the character that should bring up more development is the flattest in the novel, I can't believe it comes from a post-apocalyptic world, it's a plush ball from the beginning, while other stories from Survivors seek to be fit to survive the e a salty fish since I came to the interstellar era, I can justify a little naivety for his life before the apocalypse, but as a survivor long after I do not understand how I easily trust the doctor from the beginning, His docility to act like a poodle because I am a pet is uncomfortable but again I can justify it in my mind that he just wants to live and have a good time, but the more I read I can only see the configuration of Virgin Mary in the boy, if so, the better they would have given him the previous identity of a world with powers but had a terminal illness and end, instead of giving him a survivor configuration and f*cking the character by putting ole hairy and pink, luckily they didn't add a glamorous personality to it or this would be complete shit, how to say I am a boy but as I am the uke I must feminize myself or be weak, naive and docile.

I also find the configuration of mermaids annoying, they have a language, they are wild, but they are aware of themselves and they are sociable, having all that I do not understand why they do not have a tribe or something like that, and above all I do not understand why they are easily taken as pets, this simply bothered me from the start, the worst part for me was when they mentioned mating.

Then, they solved the problem of the mermaids, but it was very fast and so simple that you feel that they did not take advantage of the plot, obviously the greatest problem of the novel is the congruence between the characters and their experiences, having arguments to develop the story in a more exciting only justify the plot holes in the most fruitful way, that left me very unsatisfied, mermaids have their own language, so they will have a bad memory and with that nobody will notice (?), bad memory? Is it something genetic, the MC must be important, let's make him the mermaid king even though he was born of unknown genetic material, why is he king? because the plot needs it...
So I can continue, I think that not many people will take these things seriously but I like coherent details even when they are simple plots, so I only vent my suffering for a novel so good in plot it was wasted like this, I enjoyed the arguments, but the MC took away the charm of the novel and the resolutions were not satisfactory

[collapse]

I understand that the author tries to sell the story as cute or cute but for me they are like nails on the blackboard.

I'll leave it here because it only stresses me to read it and look justify it, instead of relaxing and enjoying the story

So, I swallow my words, the person who recommended the novel to me told me that I gave up just before the good, and he's right, I gave him another chance after sleeping and clearing up, after chapter 38 the reading is more interesting and varied, I'm still having trouble with the An Ji setup, but it's tolerable

I decided to finish the novel before commenting again, it is a decent story, there is not much development in the characters, but for a reading it happens, the ideas of the novel are good but with poor execution, the plot holes that were the More interesting they solved them in a very simple way that took power away from the potential they had, the MC left much to be desired and the ML is the same as the others, the premise of the story is good but I only recommend it if you like simple stories and without much development <<less

Hmmmm... plenty of negative comments but as a big fan of interstellar bl, I gave it a try. I did like it, despite the simplistic writing style, and some translation and editing issues. Compared to similar novels like "Number one lazy merchant of the beast world" it is subpar because of the poor writing style, sometimes so simple I wonder if a child wrote the sentences. Maybe the author wanted to portray the simple minds of the mermaids?

The world building is coherent overall. The characters are smart and cute. The... more>> pacing of both plot and romance were just right, even for the second CP. I did not find major plotholes or inconsistencies. Someone complained that mermaid intelligence and communication should have been obvious to the Siao ppl ages ago. I was also bothered by that but it is logical. Mermaids are akin to feral cats to the Siao ppl, with limited memory and highly aggressive behaviours, thus not conducive to research. It is very difficult to see any sign of higher IQ like speech or maths in feral cats!

Overall, a good light novel with coherent story, consistent characters without s*upid melodrama and dialogue. Yes, it is tropey and formulaic, yes it is simple and fairytale-like but if you like the genre, then give it a try :) <<less

Interstellar Mermaid Universe! MC (An Jin) wakes up as a mermaid ready to be auctioned off. He maintained the water abilities he had from his previous life, but because of his inability to communicate with humans and his relatively weak strength, he had no choice but to go with the flow and be sold off as a pet. Fortunately, he doesn't have high requirements after living in the Zombie Apocalypse for so long, and being a Mermaid Pet in this era, where the strong humans require the spiritual soothing unique... more>> to mermaids, was a pretty cushy life. The ML (Norman) is the one who purchased him. He had been suffering from spiritual riots for a while and required soothing from a mermaid. The two clumsily try to work with each other despite the MC's lack of knowledge on a mermaid's strengths and their lack of communication ability. Prompting a rather fluffy slow burn intermixed with lots of worldbuilding.

The focus is on the relationship between the MC and ML at first, with the MC working hard to bridge the communication gap and the ML doing his best to be an understanding and doting "Master" turned Potential Mate. The tone of the story is light overall! I started to lose interest by the end, I don't think it was handled very well. But I liked the beginning arcs a lot and will highly recommend it for that reason! The TL is also pretty good. Better in the beginning, kinda needs editing by the end.

CHARACTERS: 6.5/10

The characters of the novel are plenty charming. Nothing too complex though. This isn't about psychology and doesn't really involve heavy character development. Anyway, they're likable, and that's enough for most people~

An Jin (MC)

Our MC is definitely a bit of a Mary Sue (or a lot of one, by the end), his character is a bit inconsistent at times too, but I still thought he was very cute in the beginning, and his hard work was respectable.

Norman (ML)

Typical gong~ He's the stoic and overbearing type, with a strong propensity towards doting when he catches feelings LOLOL

ROMANCE: 6.5/10

I found the development of the romance very interesting initially because of their language gap. Things go a bit haywire midway, and the chemistry is disrupted, so idk if I like the rest of the progression, but anyway, the initial development is worth the read.

SETTING: 9/10

I like the setting of the novel the most! It's very similar to the Sentinel & Guide concept, where the Sentinel depends on the Guide in order to be spiritually healthy. However, the fact that one is a mermaid and the other is human brought a new twist to the whole dynamic! I actually wished this could have been developed more carefully, or just that the novel was a little bit more slow paced so I could enjoy the unique setting more (big sigh), but it's not meant to be IG.

PLOT: 7.5/10

Plot starts off relatively strong with the development of the main CP, suffers a bit at the end, but one cannot say that the ending was not satisfying, the author did indeed tie off most of the loose ends, even if it was a bit too quickly and clumsily.

RATING: 3.69/5

Worth the read if you're looking for something fun and casual. It's really nothing too complex. There are not many ups and downs, no real angst either. Just shallow drama as the two work out their feelings. <<less

As other readers have commented, very standard/formulaic interstellar transmigration/romance. It's not bad, still entertaining for the most part.

I did quite enjoy the beginning of the MC trying to act like a pet and being cautious, not knowing what the constraints/bounds of the mermaid species or scientific understanding of them were in the interstellar era, so he did his best to keep a low profile and feel out the situation at first.

... more>>
Spoiler

Once MC realized that he was safe, he did immediately try to show the ML his intellect as well as go live to show the rest of the world, so overall, I didn't find that plot point to be a big problem.

[collapse]

However, I agree with what others have said about scientists not realizing that mermaids had higher intelligence despite the language barrier is very unbelievable for sure. The author gave a reason that scientists couldn't observe or record mermaids as the reason for the language barrier but it's specious reasoning at best.

A couple other things I found unbelievable was that

Spoiler

mermaids were said to be of super utmost importance to the military, but they were auctioned off at billions - and apparently owned by individual commanders/soldiers, which makes it utterly unbelievable of a phenonmena. It would be more likely for mermaids to be bred by the government and then assigned as a group to take care of soldiers versus being sold off at high prices to individual owners which wouldn't give the government any return if they individually cost tens-to-hundreds of millions.

And has anyone ever heard of military service being lucrative to the point of captains/commanders being able to afford to bid on tens-hundreds of millions on a pet??? And then spend milions more to "keep them happy" and give them whatever they want?? Wild.

[collapse]

Translation overall wasn't too bad. Just a few misunderstood points here and there. <<less

I think this novel is meh. No character arcs, the world-building actually harms any chance of character or plot development and the plot is... pathetic at best. 1 star for the romance and 1 star because I think the ML is really interesting just poorly done.

So the characters... ... more>>
Spoiler

are talking monoliths, except the ML and MC. All mermaids are 3 y/o brats with the same whiney personality, with all the same view... just there is no difference between them or the humans for that matter.

[collapse]

Then we have MC and ML, they actually have an incredibly sweet romance at the beginning of the novel, which I truly liked and thought was absolutely amazing.... but then the fire nation attacked. Here is the thing I loved about the romance, they could not understand one another and it lead to these cute 'misunderstandings' of one another and it was super adorable to watch.
Spoiler

Then MC learned to talk and that ruined everything to the very core. This leads to what I thought could have been an amazing character arc for the ML. Since the MC was developing his own identity at this point he becomes super jealous and feels a need to control him, at least to a certain degree. I think this could have been an amazing arc since it would have shown something I am sure most people don't experience from the giver's side of being overprotected. Then we could have seen how he slowly comes to terms with reality and how this over-protectiveness is harming both himself and the MC and slowly learns to give him more freedom. But the author doesn't do this like at all.

[collapse]
. So yeah the romance was too good to be true, and we have an awkward dork who named his mecha Skywolf.

So the world-building could have been actually super amazing but it's just super poor. The technology is so advanced it actually makes everything convenient and pathetic.
Spoiler

This is how MC learns to talk and make money which again has no value to the character whatsoever.

[collapse]
Another thing to point out is how little the characters struggle against the world or how the characters explore this world and what it means to be human on this planet. It is a dreamlike word with literally zero problems. The only problem is that characters can die. What? No not like mutations or morphing into indescribable cosmic horrors or anything. They just die of old age. Like what ??? Also, the social hierarchy makes no sense but whatever, as if this flaw means anything.

The plot... I'm just... where to start. This was supposed to be a romance novel. 30ish chapter in and it's anything but a romance. Like what happened to the sweet romance??? What about the emotions that meant more than words could ever screech??? What else is there to say? When I pick up a history textbook I don't expect to read it about what are the expectations of technology for the next 100 years? As I pointed out this novel could have been a one-of-a-kind but it just fails at everything. This should have been a pure slice-of-life episodic novel. <<less

A sweet fluffy pet based interstellar slice of life romance.

Naive, sunshine should with healing abilities × mighty op yet gentle protective your majesty.

Because I guess I have similar interstellar mermaid bl I am not finding it that interesting.

And on top of that, is MC really from apocalypse world? No common sense, no vigilance, acting all familiar and kind with any passerby that a normal adult shouldn't have of his age, or least a person from such a dangerous and dark environment should have where humans have lost their moral footing... more>> and fighting against the undead.

It's more like he has childlike innocence and naivety. So that was a bit irritating how he was acting like a kid. And the way he learn the language? Hoe much he was able to comprehend varied from chapter to chapter, I was all confused at point he was able to understand complete sentences.

Spoiler

One thing that always pricks me in such novels that MC generally has inherent traits that become a revolutionary point in the progress of the world in which he has transmigrated. He is a unique existence and thud everyone become all curious and excited and start to surround him and becomes like a protected historical treasure.

I really like this author's works. They are fun and fluffy and delightful. Always good for an interesting light read. Things I specifically enjoyed about this story:

  1. The ML is smart and understanding. In the beginning the MC keeps secrets to protect himself, and when the ML finds out he agrees with that decision - because it was a legitimate safety issue.
  2. The side characters have interesting and distinct personalities and experience their own personal growth.
  3. The MC may look like a delicate flower but when lives are on the line, he steps up without hesitation and fights like a tiger.
  4. The issues arising from the language barrier are ones that have happened in real life many times when new cultures meet. That's a nice detail to add to the story and gives it a little weight.

It was interesting, especially the beginning, but it becomes really boring.

It's fluff so some people definitely love it but even that is minor because the main focus of the story turns to MC making his own living with ML following along. Besides a few romance scenes scattered around, over all this is more of a MC mermaid tale.

Some characters are fun but it becomes repetitive by the end so I wish it was shorter.

I tried to get through this. I tried so hard because I wanted to know how they’d spin the whole “king of the mermaids” trope but I just— I can’t keep this up.

I dropped at chapter 50, just after the mermaid raid. I honestly don’t even understand why it was so sudden. The whole thing popped out of no where and then was resolved 2 chapters later.

i tried to hang on, even after the weirdness of the ML claiming to be in love with him but also being certain he... more>> had the mind of a young teenager/child. Like what? What do you mean you’re still in love with him? After that, I was just disgusted reading his reaction to the MC and everytime he looked at him and thought how cute he was I felt like it was condescending. Even if it was unintentional and not malicious, it was still the ML treating him as a child.

the whole thing gave me the ick and I was wishing the MC fell for a mermaid instead, but alas, we don’t get that.

I’m not averse to “pet becomes lover” if it’s done right. And I just feel like this wasn’t done right at all. This was more along the lines of “pet becomes child becomes lover” and that? Yeah not so much. Sucks caused I’d have like to see what happened with the mermaid planet and all that <<less

Definitely recommend this when you’re in the mood for light reading - decent amount of fluff, some slice of life, fun side characters, a sweet romance, and a bit of danger.

This is a delightful and heartwarming story about the MC An Jin who transmigrates to a futuristic world and ends up as a pet mermaid. In this new world, both mermaids and humans are dependent upon each other but have no way to communicate with the other. It’s definitely a fantasy story where the MC’s human-like thinking coupled with the... more>> advantages of another non-human race create an OP character in this new world.

The romance in the story is very sweet and the couple is very cute. There is no angst, no drama, and no major misunderstandings between the MC and ML. ML is always respectful of the MC even though their initial relationship is that of owner and pet. It’s not all romance though! There’s also a decent storyline regarding race relations, star beasts, and improvements to society.

If you enjoyed Interstellar Rare Species (by the same author), you will definitely enjoy this novel! <<less

Well this has been an annoying a tiring read, at least for me. I felt like I was a fish being shaken while in a plastic bag (like that scene in Nemo; Darla shaking nemo). The plot devices are so random and not so cohesive. This feels like a half-baked Interstellar Rare Species (the authors other work I believe?) Which is a much much much more tolerable work compared to this. It has its cute moments, i get it, but it wasn't engaging enough I got bored and dropped... more>> this.

Spoiler

I finally understood why one commenter mentioned their disbelief on the sudden appearance of holographic whateverness, believe me I almost broke my neck from the whiplash. And then guess what, after it has served its purpose so it was reduced to half assed mentions. The transition to human speech could've been done in a different way. And why is the ML doing mercenary work in the holo world isn't he uhm sick? So why aggravate your wounds over holo things? Ah so he would look cool BOTH in real and holo world. And their dynamic, it was so unbalanced It felt weird they fell in love. The mermaid interactions are both annoying and interestingly cute. The author wanted it to be a lot and so much more but he execution was poor and all over the place. Don't get me started on the mutual love and baby arc. It got even weirder.

And I also want to emphasize the treatment of the world to the so-called emperor. He broke a fuxking mermans hand, i get it, but he was the one who attacked in the first place. Wouldn't they cater to the needs of the EMPEROR first? The person who is uhm DEFENDING THEIR ASSES? Unbelievable. It would've been believable if he was a general or whatever. It's weird that his status as an EMPEROR wasn't enough for him to do a lot of stuff. I guess kudos to the mermaid association for being so great and dedicated at their job. Whatever.

The MC is okay, but I think, the author deprived the real authority of an emperor. He protected their world, but the people don't want to protect him. He disparately needs a mermaid to soothe his energy/spiritual riot, but the science institute and auction house blacklisted him instead. Why? Because the mermaid attacked him and accidentally injured the mermaid? For god sake, he is the emperor and isn't it right for him to defend himself? After he was blacklisted by the scientific institute, he has no right to purchase a... more>> mermaid for 1 year. Were they waiting for him to die? He is the emperor but he has to disguised himself to be able to enter the auction house and join the bid. You could see how disparate he is.

He is the emperor but he has to fight, he is the emperor but he has to go to the frontline to fight against the star beast. That's because he has no choice. There's no person as powerful as him to defend their empire. He has to protect the world even if he's suffering from spiritual riot.

He is the emperor but what I saw, he is no different from the commoner. The author should change his character and make him a general instead. That make sense of his out of character.

Being an emperor is equivalent of owning the empire. He owns the world. The best mermaid that could possibly heal his spiritual riot should offer him as tribute. Protecting the emperor is equivalent of the protecting the world.

The people, the science institute, the nobles, the mermaids, they are not worth of the emperors protection. Too ungrateful. Too disgusting. They only think about the mermaids needs, mermaid is cute, mermaid should be protected above the emperor. Lol. Disgusting creature (except for the protagonist)

The emperor also has no power. He can't even control the interest of the riches and the nobles, how can he save the world? Can he save himself and his people? Tsk. This kind of emperor who lacks tyranny is bound to die. Thanks for the protagonist arrival. He is save. <<less
