I didn't expect to like this novel, but the reviews made me give a chance, and I don't regret it. The beginning is very slow, but it is not boring, I loved all the interactions between MC and ml, especially how they built their relationship and how MC loves and cares about ML despite being afraid of his animal form. A very possible point is the translation well done.

i actually liked this more than I thought. It has a slow beginning and the snu snu isnt very descriptive. I also dont like how some characters seem to fade out after this but its a nice story to relax after reading soul wrenching stories. The translator is nice and funny. Over all I enjoyed this and it left me feeling very calm and nice

Love this story. Has all the elements I love in a BL novel. Cute fluffy romance, humor, and adorable buns (yes, more than one!!)

Shu Shu is hilarious, he's a hamster from Earth who one day swallowed a mysterious bead that allowed him to demonically cultivate into a human form. He somehow gets transported to a strange forest where he meets the ML who has lost his beast core and is now stuck in animal form. The ML's animal form is naturally Shu Shu's number one MOST feared animal.... the... more>> snake. Shu Shu is a bit naive but not annoyingly so, he's a huge greedy foodie, and he's a bit of a cheapskate (unless it involves food lmao). The ML is the EXTRA gentle doting kind so if you hate overbearing CEO type ML's this is the story for you!

Cute jungle cohabitation happens and fast forward through some mild drama (nothing melodramatic so no worries) add a TON OF FLUFF and they live happily ever after. I also enjoyed the side stories you get in the extras that show what happened when their children are all grown up. The ending was satisfying. I notice that a large number of BL stories the endings seem rush, so if you're worried about a rushed ending you can be assured everything wraps up nicely. Even the side characters. <<less

Very light and fluffy read.

You will love everyones interactions with the MC and vice versa.

Edit:

... more>> Tbh, this is a pretty good story, the plot centers more on the interactions between the MC, the world he isekai-d in, and ML.

The MC took care of ml, and the ML appreciated MC and returned the favor, to the ML fell on love with the MC MC and always wanted to be by his side.

The side characters are all connected with each other to the point that their side of the story has more plot than the MC and Mls romance.

Overall, The is you're average 8/10 its not bad but its itt great either, but you will get to appreciate the characters and the story and the fluff. <<less

I just binge read all the chapters here on NU and what can I say? It's really adrenaline inducing for me when I read this, since I basically spent one and a half days to read it... chapter 70's cliffhanger is really to cruel to me! Aagh!!!! But the translation is good so I'll patiently wait for more chapters. I'm really tempted to read the raws...

Recommend!

The story itself has a lot of character and isn't really tropy to me, I was pleasantly surprised quite a few times. The MC isn't... more>> super dopey and naive, while not being overly smart and cunning. He pretty much embodies how you would expect a hamster turned human to act. But even beyond that his character is developed, and he's not one-dimensional. The ML is also not your typical ice-block yandere possessive kinda guy, really refreshing! I really don't like yandere so this came as a surprise considering the trend of this kind of setting. Not to mention he's also got a personality! And the side characters are also expanded and get their side stories and motivations explained. Though they don't go into too much depth, it's enough to get an understanding. The villain also is pretty well thought out and though it could've been a bit more developed and he seemed somewhat shallow, but I also think this is good. Not every villain has to have some long-drawn-out reason to do evil, sometimes the simplest things can make people go mad. The villain here wasn't over-complicated but there can also be a lot of speculation as to his in-depth reasoning. It lets you draw you're own conclusions.

The plot is pretty light-hearted, so it's not some literary haven, but there are no glaring mistakes and major plot holes. Everything so far fits all my criteria for a good read! I'm not really biased by any type of genre and can enjoy almost any kind of book, but when things can be well written it's always a breath of fresh air. MC not overpowered, check, ML is more than an emotionally-constipated weirdo, check. The plot isn't too far fetched and is still interesting and reasonable, check. In a lot of online fantasy novels you wont see people trying to reason out the reasons behind the fanciful powers characters possess.

Now I'm just waiting for the rest of the climax and grand finale to be well-played and not dissipate these good feelings! Good luck author, translator! I expect a lot from what I've seen! This wait is gonna be so hard to endure...

(P.S. this became a lot longer than I intended... whoopsie! Also, so hard not to write spoilers!!! P.S.S I think I've had too much caffeine.) <<less

I never thought I'd be so happy to read such a fluffy cute story about Shu Shu, the hamster-cultivated-to-human and his adventures in a totally different universe with beastmen.

The MC is super super adorable, and not only adorable, but very determined, brave and straightforward. While there are some parts that are cliched, as he is a pretty typically naive/innocent MC, he also breaks standard BL mold to be the one who takes his own initiative, acts with self-confidence, and works hard to stand on his own feet.

The side characters are... more>> overall pretty great as well. There aren't any truly crazy love rivals or brain-damaged cannon fodder characters, so the face-slapping is pretty subtle and enjoyable (not overly dramatic or destructive).

Spoiler

MC is the one who proposes to the ML! MC also wonderfully believes in himself, so he doesn't care much about gossip/convention, and is not your standard humble/shy/embarrassed "shou." Even their wedding night was SO refreshing!!

Also LOVED this line from the MC: "Relying on others is unwise; you are better relying on yourself." towards a supporting character in the face of expected gender roles.

This story never fails to bring a smile to my face. Translator is pretty good as well (only a couple minor grammatical issues). <<less

This is super fluffy and adorable. So far I've read up till chapter 34, their relationship is slow pace from strangers > friends > lovers (future).

... more>>
Spoiler

Edgar (ML) in snake beastform is a doting ML that provides for ShuShu (MC) despite him being super scared of him at first. The first 20 chapters build up their relationship perfectly. Many funny and cute moments as well.

[collapse]

Spoiler

I love how protective Edgar (ML) is and I just want to cuddle ShuShu (MC) forever. This seems to take place in a fantasy world with beastman and sub-beastman, almost something similar to ABO troupes (Alpha/Beta/Omega) but in this case beastman (Alpha) and sub-beastman (Omega)

[collapse]

I'm not too sure plotwise since it's just 20% diving into the real plot so probably gonna MTL the rest of the chapters or wait for the rest of the translated chapters. Anyway, give this a read if you love fluffy romance! <<less

Yes MC is not smart. He is an actual hamster, so why would he be anything other than his cute dumb self? He can still bite though, even with his sesame seed sized courage. ML is such a green flag. No instant love, although good feelings grew quickly due to where and how MC and ML met. Takes a little longer for MC, which makes sense since he literally has to overcome his biggest fear, of snakes. Cause he’s a hamster. And ML is a snake. Fun and fluff. Easy... more>> to read. <<less

I’ve read this story from start to finish for the second time. And I can recommend reading this more than once (not in too close of an interval though).

It’s a lighthearted fluffy story, not many brain melting plot holes or dragging chapters. It was fun to read both times.

... more>>
Spoiler

However it was only after reading it the second time that I noticed that MC’s friend Synthia was never mentioned again after being used by the antagonist to try and discredit the MC and ML. I found that odd because MC actually seemed to regard Synthia as a friend for the time that he rescued them but then after the drama with Donald was over, it’s like Synthia just faded into nothingness

The plot of MC & ML is good. Cute hamster and big snake story. I laughed a lot seeing the interaction between ML & MC. The plot is good paced & light hearted but towards the end it became little monotone and expected plot. Overall enjoyed.

Definitely deserved it’s high rating! I thought I would be fed pure boring fluff but it wasn’t. The world building was good, storyline was interesting and extra was the best! Though there was a bit of a plot hole on how the MC even know how to cook/ clean animals, the other parts were all good. Definitely a recommended read!

Cute & Fluffy story. Quite simple plot and not much of cliff-hangers.

Minus point: ML is too OP and MC is too s*upid.

However, it's good for light-reading (about 100 chapters).

So cute & so fluffy (literally too) !

MC dumb but strong willed; his pure thoughts and actions really endearing. The interactions between the two are so funny and so adorable.

Exciting plot points, world building mishmash of cultivation/beast world novel. The mpreg woven in so naturally as part of the world setting, with some parts being very comedic cause of it.

Side couple plot in extras was also really good and got me invested—really wanted to slap the irritating pests.

Would re-read! ~\ (≧▽≦) /~

Fell in love with the MC and ml. MC was so dense but very cute, straightforward and simple minded. ML was so loving towards MC and so pampering ahhh! So cute.

Loved the extras, their children's story loved them alot.

Thanks for ur effort author as well as translators❣️

The translation is good but the story is ultimately very flat. It starts with an interesting plot and while the MC isn't unique, he's not bad. The first half while they're in the forest is enjoyable but as soon as they arrive in society, that's where the story starts to unravel.

Suddenly it's just boring drama after boring drama, with the MC and ML making brain numbingly bizarre decisions just to continue the pointless drama. The background characters are only there to push the drama, basically cardboard cutouts.

Overall, I just couldn't... more>> enjoy it. <<less

This book was very sweet unlike other mpreg where there is some disparities in workforce, the subbeastman were allowed to get any job they wanted.

Loving the no gender inequality here plus the gong was not overbearing just lol a s*ave to Shu Shu.

The children were also very cute 🤣

As for someone who like fluffy stories, this one is actually really good, the amount of fluffiness in this story will certainly make you unable to keep a straight face

I love Shushu so much, he's such a badass and Edgar treat shushu is number one queen, (although shushu is an empress) as for their children, you could absolutely say that they're just like their parent

This novel is super cute and heartwarming just like what others said. At first, I was reluctant in reading this because I thought it'll just be another boring story but it got me deeply attached the longer I read that I don't want this to end. 😭😭 This is my first time making a review because I am just so in love with this story. The translation is also super good so kudos to you translator.
