Opening his eyes, he found himself back in his first life from the post-apocalyptic world. With a stoic face, Xia You crushed the wine goblet in his hand.

At the Marshal’s matchmaking banquet, a seemingly innocent-faced younger brother held his hand, sincerely offering to help him elope.

It took Xia You nearly fifteen seconds to recall that in his first life, he had been a naive lover, easily manipulated without realizing it.

Xia You thought, “I’m tired, I’ve lived enough. Let it all end.”

In the Empire, healers with psychic powers were exceedingly rare. Upon reaching adulthood, they would be matched for psychic compatibility, gradually meeting potential mates with high psychic powers.

Due to an unexpected perfect compatibility match, Xia You ended up marrying the Empire’s Marshal.

His marital partner was impeccable: gentle in disposition, mature, tolerant, immensely wealthy, and occasionally went into deep slumber. Moreover, there was a sleek black panther as part of the inheritance.

It seemed like the perfect resting place for a laid-back soul.

After the marriage, Xia You thought, “This is bliss.”

However, there was something odd. The precious black panther seemed too understanding.

Whenever Xia You would laze on the couch, wishing for a drink, the agile panther would silently bring a beverage, then gracefully lay beside him.

He wondered, “Is this what a highly intelligent beast in the interstellar world is like?”

He was absolutely smitten!

Some basic information I wish I would have know before I tried to read this.

The writer states:

It's all about MC meeting cute beasts, nothing else.

... more>> It's a sweet text, means it's brainless sugar.

The writer didn't try to write an objectively good novel, has no idea how to write, and doesn't want to know if you happen to not like the novel.

She writes solely for those who don't want to use their brain and you are advised to stop reading if that isn't your thing.

I wouldn't have wasted any time on this had I known this before, NU seriously needs some kind of area for translators to note this stuff down, Chinese writers include these notices for a good reason.

The characterisation makes no sense, constantly contradicts itself, characters act like morons, topics and settings are added without any logic, basically nothing has been thought trough in any way.

Which the writer is aware of, she simply doesn't care and has no interest in improving.

If you don't like this kind of entertainment, don't even try to read it. <<less

Geez.

I'm sorry, I'm currently quite speechless while trying hard to suppress my excited squealing.

At first, I thought this was kind of a beastworld novel, but it took me quite a while to discover that it wasn't. This novel is a Sentinel-Guide one.

Another reviewer wrote that the novel consists of MC meeting all kinds of fluffy creatures, which is true. Though at present in Ch. 72 they are mostly felidae, except for two. I have to give out a warning in this regard. Our dearest MC is a fur-lover. Especially for... more>> all kinds of cats. The moment he sees a furry creature, his very first instinct is to cuddle it. Though his absolute favorite is naturally THAT certain furry thing (the black panther mentioned in the summary above :P). Anyway, in this novel you're mainly watching MC cuddling all kinds of furry little (or not so little) things and healing them while he's at it.

Being an avid catlover myself, this is just purely bliss. I can truthfully state that I love this novel.

Our MC is Xia Yu, eldest legitimate son of Duke Xia, a minor noble in the interstellar empire. Thanks to psychic power awakening, some warriors are highly revered but "shortlived", as they vanish rather fast in that they fall into a coma due to psychic power riots. A small minority of the people will awaken as healers, but they are kind of a priced possession and either used for trading (married off by their family for benefits) or simply "collected" by influencial figures. If you read ABO and Guideverse novel frequently, you'll understand what I mean with this, since rare in this case means nothing else than valuable. No the healers aren't used as objects, at least it hasn't been mentioned so far.

Our MC was raised as a noble son, had a childhood engagement, a stepmother, a half-brother who was said to be a year younger than himself, while in fact being one year older. This also isn't uncommon in this type of novel, so you'll understand the family dynamic.

MC trusted his brother and at the Marshal's blind date banquet, he was schemed against by his very brother, drugged, disgraced and finally eloped with a painter whose paintings of wild beasts he loved. In the end, MC died and was reborn about a thousand years in the past on Earth. The earth back then just entered the apocalypse, forcing this spoiled young master to grow up fast and learn how to survive by soothing zombies and eating their crystal nuclei. In the end, he died again and awakened in his original body on the day of the blind date banquet and was about to be betrayed by his younger brother once again. Just this time he changed his fate, escaped the situation and was saved by the Marshal.

Just two days later, while staying at the Marshal's mansion, it was found that those two had a 100% matchrate and the main system directly married them on the spot. MC broke up with his family, though we don't see any of it, it's merely mentioned in passing. Any conflicts and "interesting" happenings are mostly just information given in a few sentences to MC. Equally, I found that where other novel occassionally show happenings from the POV of other characters (if something interesting or important happens), in this novel you won't find that. The focus of this novel is our MC, so we're basically just sitting on his shoulder and won't learn about anything else happening unless someone directly informs MC about it or he experiences it himself.

Up until now, at the latest chapter 72 MC is busy healing the companion beasts (a physical manifestation of the sentinel's psychic power) and found similarities to the zombie virus in them while healing them.

He's able to help awaken the people connected to those companion beasts who went into a coma, which makes him highly sought after, as you can imagine.

The novel itself is quite slow-paced, slice-of-life-ish. The terms "Sentinel" and "Guide" aren't used in the novel, as the people aren't aware that those magnificient fighters with high psychic powers manifest companion beasts. And as for guides? erm well...

Spoiler

naturally, our MC is the first and currently only guide as he's capable of manifesting his psychic power as naughty little tendrils which love to bother and tease ML's beast companion (an oversized black panther! Ceasar is that you without wings? :P)

[collapse]

Personally I really like this novel. You don't need to think much, just follow the flow, cuddle beasts and enjoy. In this point I'm reminded of "I'm using the interstellar live broadcast to raise cubs" or "Interstellar Rare Species".

If I had something to complain about..... It wouldn't be about the story itself, but about the translation. The translator is good and rarely makes typos, the story itself flows nicely and is easy to read.

But from chapter one they either mistranslate the name of the people (Xia Yu = Summer, Fan YuXin = Fan and Xin/Fan YuNew, Yinwei = intercom etc) and companion beasts (Spicy Strip = Snack/Spicy Strip Snack/ La Tiao etc), or a companion beast's form is a lynx in one chapter, turns into a civet in the next....

And most of all, they have a serious issue using the correct pronouns.

I don't really understand how they managed to persistently use "her/she/lady/girl" to describe MC who is a young man. And it's not only MC who is being misgendered during translation. It is quite irritating to constantly have to mentally replace the wrong address or pronoun or even trying to figure out who "intercom" is.

Aside from those two issues, there aren't any typos or odd sentences or anything, it's just regrettable that the translator seems to have forgotten that this is a BL novel and not BG. *sighs*

Anyway, long story short: if you like Guideverse novel without much action, Slice-of-life and furry creatures, and can ignore the above mentioned issues, I'd suggest you give this novel a try.

As I said before, I really like it. Mostly because I'm simply a cats*ave. I'm like MC, I just can't resist those furballs :D <<less

As the other said, the story revolves meeting fluffy animals and healing.

Simple story timeline. A bit dull but was good to pastime.

My only concern was regarding the translation, the MC's name keep on changing and the translator always use "HER" even though he is a "MALE" to the point that sometimes I forgot that I was reading BL novel. And even the animals name/kind kept on changing that it became confusing.
