Mpreg: It's there, and it happens twice.

Possessiveness: Yes. But I want to mention that for the first half of the novel, the only characters that exist are the MC and ML.

Transmigration: Honestly, this plays absolutely no role in the story. The MC was originally a rich young master, but he adapts to the new environment the moment he arrives. His survival skills are impressive considering his identity. In the first few chapters, he eats unfamiliar fruit like it's normal, and he starts a fire to grill meat. A dozen chapters later, he has fully embraced nudity. If you're expecting him to use his previous knowledge in any significant way, you'll be disappointed.

Farming: I'm a little confused as to why this is a major tag. The first instance of farming happens in chapter 62. After one or two chapters, a major event occurs, and farming is forgotten almost entirely. The sole crop grown is rice.

Non-consensual breeding: Basically, the MC is r*ped by the ML, and twice at that. But after the first time, the MC just... returns to daily life as if it never happened.

Pet rearing element where the alpha males would treat their mates like a pet: No, not really.

Alphas fighting over their mate: If you expect this to be a major theme, it's not.

Restricted freedom/captivity/confinement: It's definitely there, but the MC accepts it rather quickly.

Abnormal s*x organ: This is literally the best part of the novel.

On-screen birthing scene: Yup, two times.

Collaring/Leashing – a touch of bondage here and there: There is absolutely no bondage. Collar/Leashing is present, but no BD*M if you're here for the smut.

Hurt and comfort: Is this supposed to be a trigger warning? Doesn't every novel have this?

Interspecies sex: Sometimes, the ML has s*x in his snake form.

The MC is r*ped in chapter 30, and discovers he's pregnant in chapter 44. Birth in chapter 48, eggs hatch in chapter 51. For the first 30 chapters, it's extremely boring. The MC tries to escape two times, but he's caught within half a chapter. Eventually, he just accepts his fate. Yan Ze, the worst character in this novel, kidnaps the MC. He then proceeds to help the MC go to the bathroom. This should be a trigger warning lol. But other than that, eating is basically 99% of chapters 1-30.

After first birth:

MC gets pregnant for 2 times. 1st pregnancy = 11 baby snakes, 2nd pregnancy = 1 female baby (human form)

Because of their inherited memories, the ML throws his children away in a rushing river so that he can "solo" his wife.

The MC was angry about this since they were his children too. They fought and the MC wanted to find them, the ML the proceeds to have s*x with the MC to stop him since: "He is mine." The ML won't let the MC's attention stray away from him.

There was this lion/tiger beastman who wanted to xxx the MC and get rid of his children. The ML was away from that time so the beastman (Yan Zhe, I believe) struck.

The MC and ML found their 3 snake children and they visited the MC. They tried to stop Yan Zhe but two!

Two of this pure baby children were beaten brutally and eaten in a horrifically detailed manner by Yan Zhe to make the MC feel pain and once all of his children are eaten the MC will once again go into heat.

My gosh! My heart! Those are babies.

Even though it was revealed that not all snakes can transform into their humanoid forms. It's like 1 in 10.

Still, reading about how the baby snake's eyes were filled with pain and hope for their mama's rescue while the MC was powerless to do anything but watch as the light in his children's eyes disappear was simply gcufseaugxigxihfitdtamfksnsksnsmsnsnzbsbsn (I am in pain right now people.)

Till in the future once his children, the last surviving snake of the 3 had a family, everytime the MC sees the baby snakes he just wants to hug it. (Look at the trauma incurred by the MC, people.)

I liked the Snake x Mermaid pairing and Female snake x 3 wolves pairing. (I believe that their female child became partners with the 3 wolves.)

Btw, the 3 wolves are the children of another transmigrated person. Don't worry. He's good.

There's no attempt to reason with the ML that hitting or raping someone at the slightest provocation isn't acceptable behavior. The MC simply rolls ever and let's it happen, even when his own kids get abandoned in a river, he pretty much gives in after a token resistance. He's afraid to bring up looking for his kids because it could make the ML angry.

He doesn't try to explain that he grew up in a culture where throwing infant children away is incredibly wrong, he just rages at the ML until he snaps and r*pes him. There is no logical discussion, no negotiation. No explanation to his incredibly yandere husband that just because he loves his kids, doesn't he loves his spouse any less.

So s*upid.

Well. Let me tell you about the 11 snake children.

MC rejected them at first as he was afraid of snakes.

He accidentally threw them into a pile of snow and panic when he couldnt find them.

He found them but were still a bit afraid of snakes. He got close to them.

The seme threw them in a rushing river.

MC slapped him for throwing away his children. And was upset. He wanted to find them but the ML made him bedridden for days to stop him.

ML helped find them when MC clarified that he just wants to know where they lived and wont live with them forever.

3 came back out of 11.

They were constantly afraid of their father and it was written a few times that he'd eat or kill them if it weren't for the MC.

2 were then eaten by an ape monster.

One was left and was turned into a human.

The only reason he was allowed to live with them was because he proved his worth in the ML's eyes that he could take care of his mom when the ML goes hunting.

Then MC gave birth to a female son.

This removes his ability to have any more offspring.

This depressed the MC for a while as he wanted more snake kids to make up for the loss he felt when 2 of them died to protect him, and the rest were thrown away by their father.

After that, they shifted to a tribe.

2 more snake children came back, one was blinded by a bird and the other was caring for its blinded brother.

MC cried.

Their human brother weren't close to them. Nor was their younger female brother. Their dad... didnt want them. MC slowly felt detached to them. The tribe found out and refused them. The snakes did left by themselves after a while, but lived in the forest nearby. MC visits then once a month.

Some of them came back over the years and lived outside the tribe. The others never turned human, nor were they given any indication that they have a name other than "small snake".

...

The snake that turned to a human was given a name called guo guo (fruit)

He got together with a male mermaid, they had 15 kids. 5 mermaids and 10 snakes.

This couple raised their kids properly and lovingly and didnt bloody threw them away.

Guo guo was so much kinder and lovelier to his kids than his dad ever was with him. (Who wanted to kick his son and his new family out the moment they came back with grandkids.) The ML is kinda like a grunpy grandad that didnt mellow with age.

He was hardly mentioned in the extras.

Most of the snakes turned into half snake half human, not pure humans.

The couple was sad but decided it was better than them being a snake forever.

The reason that they could turn into half human snakes was due to their mermaid blood. So they were thankful for that.

...

MC's female son (leaf) got together with 3 wolves.

They were the kids of the other transmigrator.

They got together when they were drunk. The 3 wolves stole their mom's wine.

When they were married MC was visibly upset. Understabdably, since it was weird that his son got 3 husbands.

Personally did not like their relationship.

The degree of how much Leaf likes them was made ambiguos.

...

All the s*x was non-con by every single couple.

The semes just don't understand that their bottoms are in pain.

...

The seme's an a**hole.

He hates living with his kids but relented to live in a tribe because of his female son.

He made sure that MC couldn't be fluent in the beast language and the only reason he could speak some was because the transmigrator taught him the language when they did things together. ML refuses to teach him any.

He cares for his female son much much much more than his snake kids.

Like he actually takes care of him and not kick him shortly after his birth like he did with the snakes.

He's a yandere. Possessive, cruel, manipulative etc.

MC... never really tries to make the ML understand his point of view, and just relents to the ML's yandere ways. Unless it was about his kids. like.. not to kick his kids and grandkids out.

The s*x scene in chapter 30 was not remotely ameliorated by any sense of love, affection or sensuality. The MC passes out from exhaustion and there is zero indication he found any pleasure in what was essentially non-consensual s*x. The fact the ML continues to 'have at' (i.e. penetrate) him after he falls asleep is a bit revolting. I hesitate to say it was r*pe, but this s*x scene was utterly without any emotional investment for receiver MC or the reader. I love BL for those piercingly sweet and tender moments between the boys... with or without the s*x. This story has too few of these interludes to make up for what appeared to be a gratuitous s*x scene... without the sexiness. Also fluff? What fluff?

I cried on the chapter where his babies died (as a snakelets) but the author gave sweetness by making the sole (known) surviving baby snake turn into a cute human toddler to give us Meng. There's another sweetness as MC gave birth to their last baby which turned into a normal baby rather than egh which surprised me.

The ML of this particular novel is the scummiest one... hard to believe, the most violent and the coldest.

So, when you compare it in retrospective, when you read it again it gets kind of unbearable.

So, when I read this novel again I couldn’t but to dislike the MC and ML who are such s*umbags to each other and so... hard on poor yanze. That yes didn’t behave well in this particular history, and yes it was kind of evil, but it was mostly misunderstandings, different world views after all.

So the mpreg—after excruciating stomach pains, the shou graphically gives birth to a bunch of eggs by sh*tting them out (there are also other scattered instances throughout the story describing direct bodily functions, blood, and fluids), which eventually hatch into baby snakes. The gong's snake mentality is that although he instinctually desired to have offspring, he doesn't care about them once they're born, and later on aggressively drives them away. The shou, on the other hand, after grappling with the mpreg and horrific childbirth and giving birth to snakes, eventually comes to love his snake babies. The snake babies are basically smart animals, not quite human-child-level intelligent and they love their mom and want to be with him but are afraid of their dad, so even after they're driven off they hang around and occasionally visit the shou.

Not gonna get into the details, but most of the little snake babies are brutally, graphically slaughtered by a villain (and I think one of them is literally eaten alive) right in front of the shou, while valiantly trying to defend him against said villain.

One of the surviving baby snakes is later able to transform into a human, and after he hits snake-puberty he ends up going after the red merman side character from the story who had been trying to court the MC—so yeah, the baby grew up and went after the dude who was after his mom. The young snake is much less cold, aggressive, and violent than his father, and though he still has the same possessive-mate instincts it's to a much lesser degree, and he does seem to actively care about and want to be kind to his merman partner.

It's quite a different tone from the rest of the novel, as it eventually felt like there was genuine affection/love between them, and there was less of a huge power imbalance. Not that it's anything to write home about and the mpreg is a bit weird, but considering the rest of the story, well...

put the MC on a leash and tied him to the cave.

after they did it for the first time and the ML had plugged the MC up with his cum. That in of itself isn't too bad, but the MC thinks it's diarrhea which inevitably put the comparison into my mind. And then when he tries to get everything out the ML helps him by taking him to the edge of the mountain and making him just... let go... of everything all while he's still holding him. I don't know -- maybe I'm just too vanilla but this was a little much for me.
