starting from when fishy returns to his body, the novel has gone down hill. Fishy’s intelligence went from 100 to 0 real quick. His usual quirkiness disappears, instead, he turns into this meek, docile, and s*upid fool. All of his character development disappears, and it is less and less enjoyable to see him act out the role of a “damsel in distress.” I originally liked this novel because it was different. The character had dimension to them. It didn’t feel like I was reading the generic Chinese BL story. :/ Guess not.

We get info dumps about big companies. We get MC whining about his sorrows with a spiritual cat until he discovers some weird ancestral genetic hamster thing, which didn’t really need to exist.

We get ML being a typical overbearing CEO and getting revenge for his not-so-dead hamster... until he realises who MC is (stress rate 100).

We get MC being an idiot and meeting up with his plagiarising senior who clearly has bad intentions. Thankfully, ML is just about on time to save MC from something that might’ve scarred him for life.

Later, MC spills all his life’s secrets to ML, while ML decides not to tell MC anything under the excuse of “protecting” him. Of course, each time that MC discovers a truth, ML pushes the blame on his friends.

Then, MC becomes ML’s home decor for a while.

Anyways, the cat suddenly appears again with a whole new personality from at the start (much more arrogant despite being abandoned by its previous owner and forgotten).

I’ve decided I should stop here, where MC’s joining YL (ML’s company). This is because, according to everyone else, this becomes ML destroying other families/organisations with random info dumps about random aristocracies and magical gene stuff. Meanwhile, MC’s as clueless as most home decor because ML won’t tell him anything. Yeah, no.

There mentioned of child ab*se, illegal genetic research, etc. Both ML and MC have a sad and terrible childhood. There a terrible secret hidden 20 years ago which affect both ML, MC and other side characters.

his identity as an 'intelligent' hamster who can understand humans, play games, and chat online eventually gets exposed to his 'owner' and there are even more ridiculously fluffy moments between human and hamster bonding together.

It interests me because it seems that although she's in the place of the typical rich girl that wants to marry the incredible ML, her personal feelings seem slightly different? Leaning towards genuine care for his being, that may be more familial than romantic, and her own powerlessness to oppose her engagement. The contradiction between what she appears to want and her own actions is strange. So far, there hasn't been that many appearances of her character though, so I'm excited to see more.

My main issue is why does he have his ability after he became human again??
