I learned my lesson. Always read the reviews even if the novel is tagged as complete. When I learned this novel was on Hiatus since 2019, my heart literally shattered. I was completely immersed in the story, so much so that when I realized the time it was already 5 am and I had been reading for 7 hours straight. The writing is amazing, the story is excelent, the characters are fun and entertaining and the novel itself is easy and enjoyable to read. To go on with my daily... more>> life withouth knowing how the story continues is my biggest regret. I really pray for the author to come back. Still, to anyone who reads this review, I highly recommend this novel, though I warn you to be mentally prepared for the disapointment that will come when you learn that the story ends halfway. <<less

BEFORE YOU READ: The author has been on hiatus so the work is not complete.

That said, the translation is excellent and the story is pretty good, a light and fluffy read.

MC is very strong and very practical. There aren't any crazy revenge stories or dumbass villains. In fact, there are some subtle injustices (s*avery, witches) that MC wants to slowly be able to correct.

There's also a nice subtle sense of discovery. MC wakes up as an actual "beast" in a creature form, and slowly gets to understand what country and... more>> world he's woken up in, as well as find workarounds to the barriers to communication since he was in animal form. Very cute.

When alternative/potential s*upid plot points get raised up, MC easily slaps them down.

Spoiler

Like the other country trying to compare Divine Beasts or create unnecessary drama.

[collapse]

Overall, a great story that I wish the author finished writing! <<less

I just want to say I've never regretted reading such a good novel until now qwq author-sama, come back!!! I am a fool for not checking the actual completion status (hiatus since 2019) but you'd be a fool if you skip out on reading this!!!!

The writing is so smooth and the progression is steady. I like the growing dynamics and bonds between our very lost MC and very insecure ML! They're super adorable together and so hot!!! As MC delves into this new fantasy world he's been transmigrated into, ML... more>> is opening up his closed up world too. This is more slice of life than anything else and it's so good!!! qwq

Unfortunately, it's been on hiatus for over a year... but I want more!!!! QAQ <<less

So to be honest I didn't have high hopes for this book... From just reading the description alone I thought it would be like the beast and the prince with action and all of that. Drama everywhere and it would soon end up like the other cliched books out there but that wasn't the case. Our MC is smart and even though he has a weird attachment to the ML from the start I'm willing to dismiss that even though in his own world he didn't seem clingy. So far,... more>> not much has happened and it seems to be focusing currently on getting the MC used to his beast body. I hope that our MC is the one that bottoms.

The ML isn't optimistic and for me is the opposite of all the confident, brave ML's I've seen so far. He seems more low key and really listens to our MC's opinions. He's detested by the people around him and even when the MC does the ritual their opinion still doesn't change much. I'm interested to see how the book will unfold so I'll stick around and comment my thoughts. <<less

I rarely read Japanese bl novels because of their average low ratings but I found this on random. Tbh I felt that this might not be good enough as well but I was wrong.

This novel is amazing. It doesn't have too much of bloody face slapping. The heroine or MC is adorable but not straw brain, He clearly is a very smart person. The hero or ML is decent as well. The side characters have adorable interactions. I dont remember any petty misunderstandings between them. Best thing is there are... more>> no third leads because the MC and ML are married. The R18 scenes very also pretty nice. (✧≖ ͜ʖ≖) This novel made me feel pretty satisfied according to my standards.

I'm still waiting for more of the chapters (ó﹏ò。) <<less

This story is so awesome. Everything about it is just right. I should have read the reviews first though, I'd have at least prepared myself for the disappointment of possibly never getting the whole story. Does anyone know if the LN is complete? I'd buy it if it were.

it’s a good novel. Smooth storytelling, likeable MC and ML. Rather than adventure theme, up till c78, it was more of slice of life. I really hope the author would continue writing. Maybe if more people would give the original works more stars, maybe the author would think to pick it up again.

the MC and ML seems to be can’t live without each other. The other charas were very interesting too. There’s a lot to expand from the foreshadowing up to c78, it has the potential for 200-300 or maybe... more>> more chapters only if the author continue.

although it’s on hiatus right now, i’m glad I found this work. <<less

I completed reading this novel a long time ago and even after it seems like the author won't write ahead, I keep on coming here to see any update now you see there is a prologue of 2023 and I got hopes it will update maybe, so I decided to write the review.

This story is awesome and mind blowing, all the characters are fantastic and supportive to each other and more importantly there is no specific villian which makes the story even more appealing to me, but I regret reading... more>> this story because I didn't knew it will be on hiatus and now I am stuck with all my imagination about this story 🤧.

Please somebody take this one and continue it <<less

I didn't saw that the author was on hiatus. I'm regretting so much, so be aware and use your own personal experiences from Wattpad to judge whether it is a good idea to start reading this novel or not.

About the novel itself, it doesn't has much action, which I was highly expecting, so I got disappointed. It gives a lot of slice of life vibes and I don't know much about the romance, whether it is the MC real feelings or not...

Overall, if I had the chance to go back... more>> on time I wouldn't read it again. But it is OK. <<less
