Description

After transmigrating into a beast world, Rong Mingshi discovered that the people of this world experienced widespread mania. For example, when their emotions were abnormally agitated, they would become destructive beasts. If their emotions were abnormally low, they would shrink into their young beast form.

There is a type of energy stone that can cure this but it must be hand-carved into the animal form corresponding to the beastman. The more realistic the shape, the better the healing effect and the higher the repeated utilization rate.

In his previous life, Rong Mingshi’s ancestors started as craftsmen who grew their business and became wealthy.

Then a small store suddenly popped up on the Star Network, selling several small sculptures made with superb skill. The effect of the energy stone to soothe emotions could be felt through the screen and stirred up a sensation in the entire empire. However, this store owner was super lazy…

Rating: 3.5

Fluff and romance: 90%

Plot: 10%

This is a very light and fluffy novel which is mainly all about the MC and MLs interactions. They are soooooo cute! If you are looking for a novel with a ton of heavy plot then this is definitely not for you. This is what I would read if I'm trying to take a break from novels with a lot of sh*t happening plot wise. This is all full of light hearted stuff.

The idea is good and the opening chapter managed to capture people to read. It went alright, then it's dwindling the hill very fast.

Someone help you so you can eat, and bring you to civilization. Of course, you needd to repay and try your best to help with things that only you can do. Win win solution. But how the hell, it moves into love in a matter of light speed?? And have children in a flash??

An the whole merchant idea is just a title decoration here.

One of my favorite stories, I have re-read it several times, it is a relaxing story for me...

Only, avoid to read the extra chapters, I hated them, I act like they don't exist and what happened in these extra chapters never happened (For me the last chapter is chapter 82).

Spoiler

I still liked the idea of the children they had and their powers thought

[collapse]

In fact, I would have given 5 stars if the extras didn't exist!!!

kyaa~ kyaa~

this is so cute!!

regrettably it too short...

I want to read more about how and when the MC realize that their house maid is the same as his 'father' maidbot in the past.

or their daily life; ML as a marshal and MC as legendary sculpture and how will they take care of their lovely and cute children...

its super cute..

just thinking about it.

this novel is worth reading!!!

recommended for those readers who just finished reading something tragic or sad story...

it will surely refreshments you up!!

There's a huge focus on carving (especially a particular type of creature). Even for obstacles, they don't typically last long, so this reads more like a bumpy fluffy story - the interactions between the MC and ML are awfully cute. However, there are some things that would have been interesting to expand on, but the story moves fast as it isn't that long. If you're looking for something simple and fluffy, then this is a good story to pick up. Kudos to the translator too. There are a few mistakes... more>> but overall well done. Plus the site is easy to navigate. <<less

It's good but the longer the story drags on, the more repetitive it gets. It got old for me when it reached Ch. 55. After reading all the way to Ch. 70 I gave up on the story and skimmed to Ch. 82. I didn't bother reading the extra chapters.

I recommend this if you're looking for very light, very fluff and close to slice of life type of story. But it lacks real depth which makes the story monotonous starting from ... more>>

when he begins to prepare to enter the academy which is like Ch. 20 lol

. Just not my cup of tea.

Overall, real cute, more slice of life and less adventure. <<less

Amazing! It's full of fluff and, like another reviewer pointed out, doesn't have much dog blood scenes. The MC and ML are really, really cute and it's such an interesting career, to be a carver. I love it and hope that future readers will love it too!

This novel is cute!! Love then part where ML was teaching MC how to speak!!

However they go into too much detail when MC is carving the stones that it gets somewhat boring.

So far so good! I'm enjoying it and am itching for the next update (many thanks to the lovely translators!??) It feels similar to how to raise your natural enemy (except this is a human who went through rebirth) and other fluff beast -> human novels. Rong Mingshi is talented so looking forward to seeing his business grow

Started out really well and was pretty interesting, but it got so repetitive. Like, enough with the dragon sculptures, it’s so boring to read the MC making a dozen dragon sculptures every chapter. I thought we’d read about how MC develops his sculpting skills, but no. Dragon dragon dragon. I couldn’t take it anymore so I just skimmed through it after 50 chapters.

☆ 3.5/5*

What can I say about this novel? Well, it's exactly what it sets out to be. It's a story completely focused on describing sculptures, cute moments, glorifying the main characters, and without many ups and downs. It's basically watching everything go right for the MC and the ML.

Even though I love stories with deeper themes that can make me cry even in my grave... I really enjoyed reading this cute story. I think it was a relief for my brain not to have to think too much.

This novel is... more>> something to read without much thought, just to pass the time (especially because it's quite repetitive).

Sorry if there were any grammatical errors, English is not my first language and even though I can read, writing is still complicated. <<less

Not much happened here. It was weird that the author kept making jokes about MC looking like a child when the ML was clearly interested in him in a romantic way. Other than that, it's straightforward. Not much plot, just fluff upon fluff.

Best part about this story was easily the setting. I thought the energy stone carving was a unique idea and I enjoyed the crafting element of this story. It's a shame that it wasn't really touched more upon. Despite the carving/crafting being my favorite part, I found that... more>> it got very repetitive after a while. The MC basically only carves dragons which is fine, but there's only so many times that you can describe a dragon carving before my eyes begin to glaze over. I would've enjoyed it if the author included more techniques/descriptions beyond what they did, and included more animals as well.

Everything just felt very... flat? There wasn't much depth to anything really which is a shame. The characters were pretty forgettable to be honest. I thought the AI couple was more interesting than the main couple. The story also ended super abruptly.

This story is just missing a lot in my opinion. Despite it being relatively short, it took me nearly a week to complete this novel due to how disappointing it was. <<less

An alternative title would be "The smooth sailing life of RMS". This is a good novel to read when you're just looking for fluffy romance that's slightly Mary Sue. The antagonists' only purpose is to make the main characters look good and all the side characters and extras are obsessed with either RMS, AJ or both.

The plot holes are very glaring and frankly quite absurd.
Spoiler

From the start, RMS could modify AJ's high level energy stone without the right tools and 0 understanding of perception AND the energy stones RMS carved could reach 100% activation and still hide the energy fluctuations so I really don't understand what he was improving on in the second half of the novel. But the biggest plothole is the fact that the housekeeper AI and AJ's military AI are lightyears ahead of every AI in existence. Ruhr having such advanced AI might still be explainable but Baba? RMS's mother only had her carving business so I frankly don't see how Baba could become the second most developed AI in existence unless RMS's protagonist aura somehow increased its intelligence.

It's very cute and horrendously fluffy. Personally, I didn't really mind how the main couple was written (basically instantly inexplicably in love forever always), and was more confused by the plot getting progressively bigger and bigger for no real reason. How did we go from attending magic college to overthrowing the government. Why did we do that. what.

And secondarily you NEED to know that the background.... couple? in this story is uh bloodthirsty military AI and it's one of the best things ever. Sure the main couple is being cute... more>> anyways the background couple has hacked into a robot maid to fire plasma cannons at a Duke (same chapter).

The world building is honestly pretty good, except it's basically a pointless/inexplicable reincarnation. He didn't have to transmigrate, the plot could have continued just fine without it (just have him be a genius stone carver that didn't die on earth previously). <<less

I liked the plot and it was a good read, but the development of the couple I thought was poorly developed, they simply seem to be together from the beginning, but it doesn't seem like soulmates nor does it seem like there is a construction of strangers, then acquaintances, friends, lovers and couple, it just seems like it goes from being strange to being a couple.

Also, there was a hole in the story.

... more>>
Spoiler

The little leopard asks Aojia to go after his Father Housekeeper, after which they never spoke of the subject again. As much as we readers and Aojia know that the Housekeeper is always by the MC's side, the MC doesn't know, no one told him that his Father Housekepeer and the Marshal's Housekepeer are the same. I was looking forward to this scene :/

Overall, it was a good read

It's not the best-written novel, but I had fun reading it! I never knew what to expect and the relationship between the two MCs was really sweet. Their interactions were hilarious 😂.

The world-building was also quite interesting. There are a lot of details about the process of craving stones, and descriptions of the results. I found it fascinating, but I can understand how it can be boring for some people.

Short, funny, and angst-free, that's all I wanted, and that's what I got with this book.

I would recommend this novel if you're looking for a fun and light read, with lots of fluff but little plot so you don't have to use a lot of brain power to read. The classic faceslapping novel where MC and ML defeat all the villains with the power of faceslapping, though there is the difference in that the novel goes into great detail about carving. Personally I have a lot of interest in the arts, so I enjoyed it, though I can see if someone has no interest in... more>> this kinda thing they would get bored pretty quickly, because there is a L O T of carving.

I would ignore the title for the most part though. MC does become a powerful figure in the novel through his carving, and is worshipped by the citizens, typical protag stuff, but I wouldn't call him a merchant. MC's past life had him being more of an advisor than an actual merchant, and though it's not like he's an absolute idiot in business sense, he isn't particularly interested in managing his carving business either which is why the title calls him lazy. MC is basically one of those 'if it's not the art I'm interested in then I'm not gonna look at it', a carving fanatic.

Overall, would give a 8/10 for satisfying read with good writing, very nice to let off stress from daily life and just read fluff. Their children are adorable too, so additional points. Ignore the plot holes and it's a very nice read. Recommend. <<less

MC and ML fall in love instantly for no reason. Also, while the MC is OP in terms of carving, he's pretty naive and easily distractible, which I assume is meant to be cute but just comes out as the MC being s*upid.

Honestly, I started reading on a whim, didn’t know what I was in for.

It’s really good. I love the descriptions of his crafts, how he brings life to every sculpture and re-interprets the animals.

There’s fluff, there’s magic, there’s logic, there’s spicy bits, there’s drama.

Really good, recommended!

This is great, I really don't understand this getting any less than four stars. The plot is extremely fluff-filled. There's basically 0 drama, and any potential drama is handled almost immediately, and that's fine. I don't think a fluff piece like this should have drawn out tension anyways. If you came looking for drawn out chapters of angst, then don't read this lol. Also if you came for detailed s*x scenes then you'll also not enjoy this, cuz they kinda breeze past that too.

I don't typically like space/future themed things,... more>> but this did a good job on that for me. The little mentions of the other side character's love-life solving was enjoyable, but I didn't need as much about the AI couple's stuff, although I think that the way their s*xual and pregnancy stuff was written was quite clever.

The extra chapters were a dud tho, gotta admit that.

Just give this a chance, it's pretty great, reminds me of 'A Comfortable Different World Life'. If you want that but in space and with less magic and more carving, then you'll definitely love this. <<less
