Leisurely Beast World: Plant Some Fields, Have Some Cubs

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

As soon as she fell into the world of beastmen, a leopard forcibly took her back to his home. Indeed, Bai Qingqing is at a complete and utter loss. The males in this world are all handsome beyond compare, while the women are all so horrid that even the gods shudder at their sight. As a first-rate girl from the modern world (she’s also a quarter Russian), Bai Qingqing finds herself sitting at the center of a harem filled with beautiful men — at the very peak of existence.

The novel is a reverse harem with beastmen. Its very tribal but the main characters are idiots. So far the leopard is overly everything. In a society like this he still acts like a fool. Doesnt explain, doesnt listen. The MC is probley one the s*upidest girls. While I get hiding the whole world thing, she just doesnt explain anything. When she does finally ask questions she doesnt push for an answer and the rest of the time goes off with half info to make major life decisions. Wtf. Im... more>> so annoyed. Basicly all her problems start with her. I was so hoping but I cannt stand this idiot anymore. She gives mixed signals and basicly wants everyones niceness with no payment. I really hate these types of female leads so im out. The writeing isnt bad but nothing awesome. <<less

This novel was adapted into a comic, and that's how I found out about it! Have been trying to avoid spoilers since the actual novel is many chapters in, but I'm liking the story so far. Not the typical clique novel for sure, since there are a handful of male leads, each with their own charm. Thanks translator!

I think the translator is doing an awesome job and I hope she finishes it to the end. I like the story line and I agree with some of the people that the MC is dumb but I have a couple reasons for that; shes only 15 and not fully emotionally developed, thrust into a new world, kidnapped pretty much twice, chased by dinosaurs, and almost sexually assaulted a copy times but thankfully these men can take a hard no. This happened all within 2 months? I can give her... more>> a pass for that because she eventually comes to accept the world and the situation she is in. She wont really act dumb and more and will be more considerate towards the guys. If you want to read ahead, the manga on webnovel is very farther along so you can see what I'm talking about. It makes you wanna stay till the end. <<less

This is such low quality writing that it's a total train wreck. The overall idea is not terrible but the execution is horrendous. Makes me think the writer basically copied the plots of a few novels of the same genre to create a hotch-potch of sorts and then tried to make a novel of it - and a long ass one at that. The details show a real lack of understanding of what he/she is writing about together with a lack of research and overall the events and situations make... more>> no logical sense. It's so bad that I quickly gave up on thinking (like how does freckles make someone look ugly, the excessive focus on beauty and fairness, acting like women are super fragile and cannot lift a leaf without getting a sprain and can't live without the men, and what sort of bullsh*t idea is it to have females having tattoos all over their bodies for each one they slept with). I had such low expectations later that I swept the complete lack of logic and inconsistencies aside to just plough forward. The writer also contradicts themselves multiple times in terms of how stuff is supposed to work in this weird world (like the concept of how the tattoos disappear). The worst thing of all is the MC. She is terribly written and a horrible person - using others for her own convenience - always being greedy for food and comforts and looking for free labor. Her husbands do all the hunting, the farming, the cooking, the building, the caring for the babies... everything... What does she do? Inventions in ways that make absolutely no sense.... Like, she know little to nothing about pottery (uses a stone mortar instead of wooden wheel to make pottery - facepalm) but somehow ends up making ceramic without even knowing how it happened.... The male leads are like those from fanfiction - supposed to be smart guys but become total morons around the MC - losing major IQ points.... I ended up literally pulling my hair out when the writer came up with these weird or dumb stuff the MC does and all the MLs going, "oh, she's so smart" or "oh, she's so funny".... Make me think she's smart or cute with her actions not by forcing the other characters say she's smart or cute or whatever.... Overall, a complete and total dumpster fire with an unlikable MC.... <<less

Also there is so much bodyshaming in the manhua that makes me feels bad.

I found it funny when parker first met the FL and he thought she was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. The author went on and on about her pale and white skin she supposedly inherited from her Russian grandmother. In a world where most of the female population spends time outside under the sun (without sunscreen might I add) tanned or golden toned skin would be seen as healthy or beautiful. I would like to imagine that if this was in the real world parker would have... more>> thought that FL was sick or a ghost!

Another thing I noticed is that FL called the other females ugly when she saw their bigger thighs and bellies. Lots of tribes in the modern world consider a bigger woman more attractive cause it would mean she is being well taken care of and could have more kids.

I would think parker's first impression would be a starved sick ghostly pale woman, instead of the beauty she taught herself to be. <<less

Honestly speaking, I had read this novel a year or 2 years ago. I didn't expect this novel to be translated into English.

The story is okay for me. Not the best, but not too bad since this is the first time I read this type of novel and also the reason why I got addicted to reading this kind of story where the MC transported into beast world.

Spoiler

I see this Female MC way too young and naive which led her unable to make a firm decision.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Though it is much better if the author didn't write the last arc where the MC and her four husbands went to her modern world because the author leaves an unsatisfactory ending. I felt the author write it in a rush.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Despite saying I enjoyed reading it, the story still made me feel bitter especially since her children were left in the beast world and Curtis seems to be giving off a melancholy aura at the ending. As for why I'm not gonna tell you. It's better to read for you to know. : (

[collapse]

Like I said before, I enjoyed reading this novel (despite the fact that they are loopholes in it) SOo...I'll give a four-star since I would feel unfair if I gave this novel a three-star. <<less

MC is a freaking user. She uses everybody there and doesn't reprociate. At least she can find out some things about the world. But no, she is still using her modern mindset in the beastmen world. Okay, the story is interesting and bruh, Curtis is a bae. Otherwise I would drop this novel at chapter 20.

Okay, I understand if you are first few days confused, but after more than a month in other world, you should start adapting. Especially if you don't know if you can ever go back home.

And... more>> she has big advantage, females have a last say. Bruh. <<less

Soooo there are just too many points that killed this story for me and I'm a sucker for transported to a beast world type stories...

1. The MC never explains the important parts that should be common sense to her... ... more>>

eg: she only remembers that she's futile in the middle of her menstrual cycle a few hundred chapters into the story...

2. She only thinks of using her "modern" knowledge in dire situations

she only remembers that she knows how to get salt out of sea water once again a few hundred chapters in after they lose their trading supplies

[collapse]

3. The author tried to make her invent a perpetual motion machine... SMH... This is where I just couldn't anymore... Like you CAN'T have something that only provides output with no input... Not mention that they only think about friction fleetingly (ie once). Oh and they ignore maintaining it too... Like this thing has not been treated or coated and is literally exposed to constant weathering and it literally as if it's always new... (I guess I can convince myself that they used some super wood) . The only way I was able to somewhat sleep after this was by convincing myself that one of the dudes is turning it when she isn't looking...

But ya... Those where the biggest killers for me. For my sanity I stopped reading this. <<less

First, this novel is good and quite similar to Beauty and the beast: My Wolf Hubby XOXO. The female lead is quite s*upid and not decisive enough. She accept males that force themselves to her but indifferent to other males who waited patiently and cared for her (ex. Blue, harvey, Alva, Shuu etc.). She is quite annoying sometimes and the only thing I like about her is being a loving mother (to the point of being spoiled). All ML's have different personalities and really fun to read their povs.

Curtis, was... more>> a festral (?) beasts. He is cold-blooded and ruthless. He doesn't care to anyone except his female, Qingqing. They both have many sons (I think 39?) and one daughter. Their sons was scattered and should never appear again in front of the FL because of the so called Legacy. Where they will inherent their father's memory, and if interacted with their mother will possibly mate too. That's why Curtis was against the fl's caring to this sons and have no fatherly feelings. To him they are just strangers or a replica to him. He is the most possessive to FL and to him, FL is everything.

Parker, he was supposedly to be the first ML but Curtis kidnapped the FL and force her to be his partner. He is the most silly and annoying, but the most clingy too. He was the most talented among them. When he met the ml, he was only 2 stripped then became a legendary no stripped.

Winston, he is full of wisdom and mighty too. He loves the FL but afraid to get closer, because he have a scar in the face and thinks he is ugly. HE IS MY FAVORITE. He is steady, calm, rational, intelligent, mature, and he balance the ML's. He have a incredible leadership too. My heart aches for him because the FL payed less attention to him than the three. She taken advantage of his patience an understanding to her. Really, he deserves the best.🥺

Moore/Muir, my second favorite. He was the combined of three. Possessive, talented, affectionate, and steady. He is devoted to the fl. I really can't decribe it, but you will know if you read it and you will love him too.

This novel have many loopholes and the ending was so frustrating. The Author didn't end this novel beautifully. They should have not created another arc where the FL and her mates goes to the fl's world. They have abandoned their children but they don't care and just create another branch in the real world. Their cubs in the beasts world can't still transform and their daughter there was put in the pit hole. She gave birth every damn year and she still in the state of hallucinations. Plus her son mate with her (which is normal there but still, she don't have awareness) then she gave birth to another female that have the same faith like her but quite spoiled who also mates with her brothers. Curtis's snakes sons was never seen again except to the one who wants to mate with the fl. Like they have 39 sons and I know that they are harmful to the FL but author should let us see a snippet. Haist. Really the extra arc was so disappointing so if you want you should not read it and destroyed your own ending.

BUT ANYWAY STILL A GOOD STORY SO 4 STARS🥰❤️. <<less

PLEASE READERS FINISH THE STORY FIRST BEFORE INSULTING THE FL ! THIS NOVEL DESERVE TO HAVE A 4.9 RATING BUT BECAUSE OF THIS READERS EARLY JUDGERS HAYSS

... more>>
Spoiler

She'll end up with them all. She'll marry Curtis in modern world first (since she said she'll marry whoever will give her a female baby first) then after a couple of years, they'll move out of China to France and she'll marry Parker there and so on since it isn't specifically detailed what happened after that (It was mentioned that she marry one of them alternately after they moved out from place to place to avoid conflict and biasthey have a polygamous family in one of a poorly developed country). They just ran out of green crystal so they also eventually died but they all lived happily and longer than normal. Then there comes Lan Ze/Blue pool and Bai Anan's arc which I hope would also be translated officially

[collapse]

And I can say that it's more satisfying to read the novel. I even spend 1 day and half to finish the novel. At first I'm so against to baiqq to be the FL but then I realized that she really deserve to be the FL of this story. Sorry baiqq for insvlting you in my previous comments ! This is the BEST REVERSE HAREM !!the FL accepted all the mls. (Compared to those reverse harem that The FL only choose the main ML and breaking The hearts of other mls in the end haysss)

How truly wonderful. From those reverse harem anime/manga/novels I can say that for me this is the number one!!!!! Of the ranking!

And I can say that The Story of Mermaid man And baiqq 's daughter Ann is really really depressing and makes me cry so hard I can't even move on. Bluepool really deserve to have a happy ending with ann but sh*t why why why!!!!!? Its so so heartbreaking. That I wish I didn't read the their tragic love story its like Romeo and Juliet ending vibes 😭😭 the male characters on this novel are so so great I even wish that I want to isekai to their world and find a mate. <<less

The premise of an actual reverse harem ending with beastmen is what made me read this series. The story is fun to read although it's lacking in many details, especially the heroine's lack of feeling. I can ignore zero explanation of how/why she appeared and disappeared suddenly in that world for example, but I can't ignore how most of her inner conflicts are based on that she had owed the MLs a lot or it can't be helped since she is married... The dialogues during important moment were terrible too.

... more>>
Spoiler

e.g. I like you because you're my partner. And then ML was happy.

e.g. Don't leave because you're my partner. And then ML was happy.

.... Seriously?

[collapse]

Honestly, the heroine doesn't deserve a harem since she just let (some) of them do whatever they please.

Spoiler

e.g. Fcking during locust plague while everyone busy killing the bugs. Some beastmen cubs even died from it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[collapse]

In conclusion, the story will be done in 1 volume if she can think better for herself.

And I took one star because she is a horrible mother.

Spoiler

It's more difficult for her to accept the concept of multiple husbands than pooping non-human animals out of human body or having litters who would want to mate with her in the future and the father is ready to kill them. After learning the truth, she is not shocked, not disgusted, not depressed. They went straight to make another batch of snake babies. 🤯

She called her daughter ugly when she was just born. But she felt mellow motherly love or mother-son bonding toward her animal litters soon as they're born.

She brought her baby girl to the desert, a location full of female-hater beastmen. Multiple times, she ignored the baby's safety over her partners.

The leopard cubs were often neglected. They let someone else taking care of them but sometimes the leopard cubs just fed themselves. This so called docile mother also likes kicking them... Oh, I almost forget to mention they let the cubs saw the mother having s*x with the snake.

Smh

[collapse]

I keep reading cause I want to see her get together with the last ML. I did not read the modern world arc. I would give the story 2.5 stars but there is no half so... <<less

I wouldn't say the FL is s*upid, I'd say her brain has never even existed to begin with. But well I kinda pity her. If I had to marry 4 people & had more than 10 kids by the time I reached 18 I would've killed myself. But she's too s*upid so yeah no pity for garbage

The snake dude is too possessive for my taste. Dude you guys are literally sharing

the girl calm down a little. Plus you're +40 at the start of the story. Have you no shame falling for a girl whom could -age wise- be your daughter?

The leopard one is like a spoiled & idiot child. Honey stop picking fights with someone you know you cannot beat in a hundred years. How sh*t for brain can you be?

The bird one is a rapist & obsessed dude, rivalling for the s*upid possessive cup with the snake one. Sigh

The tiger one is my favorite actually. The only person who can use like 10% of his brain. It was a pity how he r*ped her. Tho every last one if her mates has r*ped her at least once... So no biggie ig? :)

If you can't set aside common sense and using your brains, you can't enjoy this novel.

Spoiler

In this novel, most of the MLs just forces or straight up r*pes FL. And FL gives birth to an astronomical number of children with different MLs. In the latter part of the novel, there is a chapter where FL mates with her son and gives birth to his cubs. The daughters of FL are treated as straight up breeding machines. Like wtf! FL is both cunning and a pushover.

She uses the MLs who are caring towards her and doesn't cares about much who are just kind to her. She only mates who are forceful or give birth to their children.

Mating with so many men and giving birth to so many children are treated as a trivial thing, like eating snacks or something.

I like this novel a lot. I already finished reading this on a different site and I've reread chapters that have fluffy moments with the MC and her husbands. Those are bishounens and it's legal to have them all. So why not? Lol. I like how the MC is strong and smart and I ship all of the husbands to her. Each male lead has their own strong points and flaws but that makes them more lovable. The smuttiness of this novel is not that much like Lucia.

I read through the entire story on another site, LOVE it so MUCH though the translation was extremely difficult at times. So excited that the story is getting a proper translation. Can't wait to read more of Winston and Moore. They are my ABSOLUTE favorite loves out of any story I've ever read in my life. ? Their stories made me cry and also feel joy many times. ? The world and culture around her is very well developed, all other characters' behavior is always consistent and makes sense with the... more>> primitive tribal animal kingdom culture. The plot events are all creative and exciting, I love the adventure/conflicts/romance as well as the slice of life family moments.

My only complaint about the book at all is that the ending felt like the author was over it all by that point, and huge life events were minimized into very brief bullet points. ? I also did not enjoy the epilogue. ? But that's the author's choice, that's how she imagined things to be.

I'm still extremely grateful that this book was created, and that this translation is being given to us. It's truly a treasure. Thank you so much. ??

I wish this translation would be continued. Please don't give up. It's the absolute best. ??❤️ <<less

This story has been my guilty pleasure for a while now. I love stories with deep world-building, and this one satisfies that craving, even though I agree that the execution could be improved.

I have a particular point to make about the main character, Bai Qingqing. When I first read the story, I agreed with the general consensus: Bai is an immature, spoiled girl who often causes trouble for everyone around her. Initially, I thought this was due to poor writing, and it still might be, but the more I considered... more>> her character, the more her behavior seemed to fit her circumstances

Spoiler

To explain: Bai Qingqing is just 16 when she's thrown into the beastmen's world. She's immature, naive, and, yes, annoying. But it makes sense. Teenagers, especially when thrust into a strange, possibly traumatic situation—like waking up in a world full of people who can transform into animals—aren't paragons of maturity. Even adults would struggle in that scenario. And while I'd like to think I was more mature at 16, it's understandable that not everyone would react with grace or poise. We cannot fault her for being how she is; just like there are mature children/teens, there are also immature children/teens. Hell, some adults in our natural world remain as childish as they were in their teens. But my point is that I believe Bai's immaturity and childishness stem naturally from her age.

However, as the story continues, our main character does not mature. Initially (like most readers), I found this to be so annoying. I mean, how often will she cause trouble to others or act in ways that are sometimes downright offensive to the beast men's culture before she gets a grip and starts taking actual responsibility for her actions instead of letting her mates take care of everything? But like before, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Bai Qingqing was in the beast's world for five years, and in those five years, she did not change. Why? Because her mates and the culture of the world she was in did not let her. In this world, women are so rare, making them so valuable. It is explained to us over and over again that due to their rarity, the women in this world are spoiled rotten, catered to their every whim, and allowed to do almost anything without facing any repercussions. The women in this world are not given any responsibility except the general expectation that they need to give birth to children (only give birth because I am sure that if a female beast-man did not want to raise her kids, her mates would gladly do it for her without seeing anything wrong with it). This expectation isn't even strictly adhered to since this world has an abortion-inducing medicinal broth that appears to be taken quite regularly (it must be for Parker to suggest it so early on in the story). And because of that, the women in the beast men's world grow up to be spoiled, selfish, and sometimes cruel people. While the author paints that as a bad thing and uses it to paint our protagonist in a much better light (pick-me girl much?), it once again makes sense. It makes sense for these women to act this way; it's the natural result of growing up spoiled. Can we even blame them or hold them accountable if their culture is what propagates this very behavior? It's almost like they were never allowed to mature and become friendly or good people. The friendly females we meet are probably because they were just born with a more meek and agreeable personality (it's pure luck). The women who are mean and cruel are never even given the chance of redemption because how the hell are they going to learn the value of respect, kindness, humility, and generosity when all they know is that they are valued and that they can do whatever they want? It's pretty sad if you think about it (who knows, maybe Rosa could have been a good person given the right environment).

So why does Bai remain childish and immature even five years later? Because she was never allowed to grow and mature. Her mates spoil her rotten and do not see anything wrong with her behavior. And can we blame them? Their entire lives, they were taught that this is how women are and behave. Bai's mates spoil her to a degree that prevents any character development, treating her behavior as normal since this is the only way they know to treat women. For them, she's extraordinary simply because she acknowledges them as more than servants or conveniences. The simplest gestures of kindness or attention from Bai win them over completely, and her "insane beauty" only heightens their attachment. I almost feel bad for them for expecting so little, but once again, it makes sense.

If Bai had remained in the ordinary human world for those five years, she would have slowly but surely acquired more responsibility (as we all do when we grow up) and (more importantly) been held accountable for her actions. She would have been in situations (either with friends, family, school, maybe a significant other, or even a job) where her actions would have consequences (either good or bad), and she would have had to face those consequences and be responsible for her actions. These experiences would have allowed her to mature in her way of thinking; she would have grown up. But because she has been trapped in the beast man's world where every whim and desire was catered to, where she will not be held responsible for anything she does (The whole situation with her being kicked out of the best man's city because they believed her to bring about a great catastrophe doesn't count cause everyone was driven by superstition, and this was a rare moment where Bai was innocent). Is it any wonder that she remained childish the whole time? Coming to this world may have been detrimental to whatever growth she had begun to acquire before coming to this world as a young teen; it may have set her back to an even more immature mentality.

When looking at Bai Qingqing through these lenses, her character goes from being an annoying, spoiled girl who doesn't consider the long-term impact of her choices to a tragic girl who was never allowed to grow up (until she returns to the human world and even then her mates follow her so her chances of maturity are once again stunted).

I want to mention Several scenes that illustrate Bai's dependence and immaturity.

1. When Bai returns to the human world, her mates are left in the beast men's world. She becomes so distraught at the idea that she might have to live her life without the men who have taken care of her in every sense of the word for the last five years that she would rather commit su*cide than face the world alone. I know that Bai also hypothesized that if she tried to kill herself, the near-death experience would bring her mates to her world. And while that did end up working, it was at most a theory, and Bai was aware of that. In the story, Bai was aware that there was a real chance that she would never see her mates again, and if that were to be the case, she would rather face death than go on without them. At first, I found this scene ridiculous. I mean, sure, she does love her mates and is distraught to be without them. But to come back to the human world after five years (and she didn't even think she would come back at all; it was pure luck) and have the first thing she does is attempt to off herself? I mean, come on, did she not miss her family? Her friends? Her world? Her old life? I could not believe it. But once again, if we think about it as extreme as it is, it makes sense. Her mates did everything for her; hell, she didn't even cut her nails anymore; that's how dependent she was on them. She's more like a toddler in her dependence than an adult. So, as extreme as it sounds, it would make sense for her to want not to go on if she was suddenly ripped away from that. How could she possibly go on without the men that gave her everything? She did not develop the level of independence or inner strength to go on after (potentially) losing a loved one. It's unfortunate, in my opinion.

2. Another scene is when Bai invents paper. Now, this scene had me fuming, so let me explain why. The story shows Bai to be a brilliant girl (now, being smart is not the same as being mature or responsible, as Bai kindly shows us). Throughout the story, she remembers how to make simple inventions that significantly improve life for the beastmen. She somewhat remembers how to forge metal and accidentally ushered in the beast men's equivalent of the bronze age; that is a HUGE deal. The beastmen are now forging weapons and armor. But it's the paper scene that highlights how immature Bai is. Bai remembers the process of inventing paper and introduces paper to the beastmen world. Again, she remembers how to make paper; I don't know anyone who casually remembers to make paper from scratch. Now, why is this a big deal? Because with the invention of paper comes the invention of writing. The ability to write was a GAME-CHANGER in our world. Think about it: having, preserving, and passing records down to future generations is a cultural advantage. We can write down rules, laws, and scientific discoveries and communicate with people by transporting those records. If Bai had introduced writing to the beast men, their society would have been shifted forever. Writing is transformative—it's how civilizations preserve knowledge across generations. In the story, we learn pretty early on that Curtis' (snake) species can inherit the memories of their ancestors (males, at least). Biologically speaking, that puts him at a considerable advantage. We even see Curtis use this ability several times to save himself (like when he encased himself in amber? To save himself from the fire Muir started). But only snakes have this ability. Had Bai introduced writing to the beastmen, this would have been their equivalent of that (kind of). Sure, they won't have access to direct memories from their ancestors like Curtis does. Still, they would have a method to communicate across distance and time, making the biological playing field more equal. So what does Bai do with this enormous milestone? She uses it to draw. That's it. She could have advanced this civilization but did not; she used newly invented paper to draw. It genuinely frustrated me to no end. But once again, Bai is an immature 16 year old child (mentally at least) of course she would not think about the ramifications that her inventions could bring or the long-term prosperity the beastment could enjoy, she only wants paper because she feels like drawing. This scene frustrated me, as it highlighted her limited perspective. Bai is clever but immature, thinking only of the immediate satisfaction of drawing rather than the profound potential of her invention

3. I also wanted to mention this final scene because even though it is brief, it was absolutely hilarious. The novel has a scene where Bai and her mates are eating dinner. I'm unsure if Muir was her mate at this point, but I believe he was there. Anyway, everyone is eating, and Winston is feeding his daughter. Parker (I believe it was Parker) turns to Bai and holds up a spoonful of food to feed her. Bai has this moment of clarity when she thinks, "Parker is feeding me the same way Winston is feeding An'an. How am I any different than my toddler?" When I tell you, I laugh for about a solid 10 minutes. For just a second, our dear protagonist was self-aware. God, I wish the author would have done something with this scene, but it was a small nugget of gold in the endless muddy river that is this story.

So, is Bai Qingqing an immature, childish character? Yes, but in a way that's consistent with her circumstances. Was this depth intentional? If so, it's an impressive example of nuanced characterization, and I applaud the writer. If not, then it's a case of accidental complexity that somehow elevates the story.

Of course, I have other critiques: the world-building could be more nuanced, the side characters and male leads could be better developed, and Bai's human inventions could be explored for their impact on beastmen society. But I chose to focus on Bai's characterization here, as her consistent immaturity and dependence struck me as both realistic, thought-provoking, and, ultimately, tragic.

Despite my criticisms, I enjoy this story and re-read it often. Stories like these allow us to examine our humanity—our culture, beliefs, values, and advancements—from a fresh perspective. By dropping modern-day humans into a primitive world populated by creatures that are part human, part animal, we're invited to question what sets us apart as a species and what truly makes us human.

Thanks for reading my long rant! I just wanted to share my thoughts on this story, as I don't know anyone else who's read it! <<less

Loved the story so much. it was not like other stories where FL reborn or transmigrate to other world or ancient times with system. in this story FL suddenly got transmigrate to other world on top of that beast world!... more>>
Spoiler

I hate how people are hating parker the more and more for being annoying and childish like don't you people know he is f*ckin 17-18 years old even though according to beast world he is considered adult he's still not fully matured but as the time went he changed a lot and still little childish and clingy but remember this nature of him is the only reason Bai is able to be with Curtis a feral beast on top of that a snake that Bai is most afraid of. parker is also a loving father to his cubs and anan winston's daughter and snaklet of Curtis even though he hate Curtis.

It's would be so good if she ends up with all males including Curtis, parker, winston, muir, Alva, lanze and Mitchel thats why I was here for a true reverse harem even though it still is. what didn't likes is modern world arc like seriously?I was here for tribal beast world life romance in first place but modern world ruined everything not to mention lanze/bluepool and Bai anan's last arc😭. as much as I like this story especially beast world setting one I hate qingqing too cause she's so dumb. she never even considered or thought that she just transported to other world suddenly on middle of road and you don't even know how yet you never considered that what if you suddenly got transported back to your world again in middle of doing something or maybe to other completely different world. as the toxic readers know this is beastmen romance with beast tag too so what do you expect for ML's to do?act human?have candlelight dinner?purpose with diamond ring in front of people?get married?have one or two children and live happily ever after?

For God sake they are beasts even though they can transform into human form but still they are born beasts, animals mating and having children is their instinct and yeah they don't love her only for this at first it was all cause of her beauty that they fell in love with and I can understand cause beautiful females are rare. and yes male birth rate is higher than female birth rate and it is worse in merfolk clan since Theres only one female for thousands of merman and if they want new female their first female will die giving birth to a female and that's natural there so no second female along with first. there behaviour is completely normal. people who watch animal world documentaries will understand. And again yeah Bai qingqing.......... she first said she only wanted one partner than got second one then she said she only want two partners but she got third one then again she said she is happy with three of them and there's no need for fourth one then she got fourth one like girl if you don't know what happen in future just shut up. she literally says she love all of them equally but spend most of her time with Curtis who give her kiss then get h**ny and have s*x and have eggs but when parker asks she says shut up get me cloths, food, warm water go hunting etc so basically people who force her will get chance but people who asks permission first got no f*ckin chance at all but slaving around. she is weaker than beast female who is said to be weak and fragile even though she's from modern world she is weakest compare to other manhwa fls. in modern world women is not that weak and this girl is ruining modern girls image in other world. she uses her modern knowledge just to show off like "you uneducated beasts try the food recipes I tell. do you like my ideas?then praise me I'm a modern female afterall"

She don't listen to anyone all the troubles you read in novel is caused by s*upidity. she went on loooong desert journey just to confirm if winston/Vincent is fine and take him home on top of that leaving her young cubs home alone and taking a baby only few months old to hot desert and there destination was scorpion tribe where female haters male live. it would be best if molly/jasmine were the FL she is way stronger than her and I also saw her in manhua and I think she's way beautiful and cuter than Bai even qin/jean.i don't mind if qin too were FL but qingqing sigh.

I should stop now cause the comment literally became soooooooooo looooooong
