The Interstellar’s Expert Plant Tamer

Description

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

In the post-apocalyptic world, Xie Sen was bitten to death by a zombie and woke up again as Xie Sen, the famous wastrel of Beast Star City – a child abandoned by the Beast God. After his 18th birthday, the contract beast did not awaken. This world did not have zombies, the air quality was also good, Xie Sen was very satisfied. As for the vegetables and plants, they were few and expensive. But he did not care, he had a plant system, so what was he afraid of?

The only thing is, the system had insufficient energy, and if Xie Sen wanted to plant, he needed to provide energy.

System: Another strategy is to let people appreciate you. When the gratitude energy reaches a certain amount, you can unseal a plant.

Xie Sen was willing to put himself out there to get points. But his strategy stalled when he met a handsome man named Maine Cox. Wasn’t this the man who was the ultimate villain boss and almost destroyed the Beast Planet in the book he read before he died?

Love this slice of life interstellar world with planting theme! I love how possessive and very caring Maine is to Xie Sen. And those contract beasts that scary but sweet, that sells a lot of meng! And the side couple Long Teng and Bai Jiao. I love their adventures. Then comes the cute little Bao'er. Love love this novel.

Slice of Life with hints of adventure! The MC transmigrates into an interstellar universe with a Plant System in his body. The Plant System is especially useful in this universe, as there’s a major shortage of plant-based foods everywhere (people of this universe mostly eat meat and nutrient solution made of non edible plant material since a lot of edible plant material are extinct). When starting out in the world, the MC is particularly poor. He doesn’t have family to rely on, nor does he have friends. And plant system... more>> needs to be slowly unlocked too — possible by earning the gratitude of others. As for the ML, he’s the villain boss in the original novel that the MC decides to stick to in order to prevent an apocalyptic future.

CHARACTERS: 8.5/10

Not gonna lie, the characters were oddly awkward at first. IDK how to explain it. Characterizations do improve tho. I think once you get through the 1/4th mark? After which, you get a couple of interesting side characters — though they unfortunately don’t always feature enough.

Xie Sen (MC)

The MC is particularly motivated to find a comfortable life for himself. And with Plant the Plant System, he’s pretty OP! As is mentioned in the tags, he’s the straight!uke type. So he’s pretty against his being a Female in this universe.

Meine (ML)

His personality was reallly awkward at first. But he’s the “big kid” type of person in my eyes. As an illegitimate child that had been pushed aside all his life, he lacks love and clings to the people he cares about. To everyone else, he’s cold and assertive. But to the MC, he’s coquettish.

ROMANCE: 8/10

I liked the romance! It was sweet in its own way and a bit funny. It’s far from my favorite type, but it had its charm.

SETTING: 8.5/10

This story has lots of fantasy elements. There’s the SYSTEM, which is a pretty OP golden finger. And there’s the Contract Beasts, which are intelligent creatures that can bond with humans (for the sake of fighting, usually). After landing in this world, MC finds out that the original owner was someone who never awakened a Beast Contract. But with his Plant System, he gets confused as a Plant Beast Type that has a high affinity with Beast Contracts.

The author obviously spent a lot of time on the setting! It’s a bit inconsistent. But I still enjoyed exploring this unique little universe! Especially since this is partly an adventure story.

PLOT: 8/10

This follows the story of the MC and his companions. There’s no primary plot focus, which is why I tagged it as Slice of Life. It really is just following the life of this transmigrator in this futuristic world with Fantasy Beast Elements.

RATING: 4.25/5

This is pretty fun to read in its own way. It definitely has its shortcomings, the author admits to that. But there’s noticeable improvement the further you go along! I recommend that you read it if you’re interested in the setting~

RANDOM THOUGHTS:

  • Personal Enjoyment: 3.5/5! Not necessarily my kind of story, but still fun since I read it through to the end.
  • Literary Level: Writing was awkward at first, 3/5! Translation is good tho!
  • Heat Level: Everything is fade to black, so 0.5/5!

Is there a 2nd installment?! If there is, I want to see it so bad. That ending was such an evil cliffhanger 😭

I love this novel and it made me go back to reading novels again BUT I won't lie so I'll say this: there are a lot of illogical nonsense in this story. So a ⚠️warning⚠️ to the readers who wanted to read this:

Leave your braincells. 😂 (but not too much)

It's a really happy novel. As for the villains? They don't really stay, meaning the conflict's aren't prolonged... more>> in this story. It's a feel-good novel, in other words. You don't even get to feel frustrated at the villain's antics. That's how peaceful this novel is.

And then there's the illogical stuff... It's about the food.
Spoiler

I just can't with the "food banquet"at the concert hall. Like, people BOUGHT TICKETS just to see people EAT. I had a hard time reading that part because I was in a "wtf-phase." I get that there's mukbang but to BUY tickets just so you could SMELL food...

The weird thing is, as I am writing this review, I'm realizing that it SOMEHOW MAKES SENSE????? Like, if you've been deprived of something and you're curious about it, you'll pay good money for it. So essentially, people bought tickets so they could get the UNDERSTANDING of what the new product is and maybe use it so that they can do it themselves.

Holy shit, is this the epiphany of reviewing books? Lmao.

[collapse]

(Ok, I've actually seen how the "illogical" food-thing might be logical in some sense, but it's inside the spoiler tag)

The romance is... Very good actually. It's so sweet and they're very understanding with each other which is really nice. There's no case of shitty understandings so really, it's a happy novel.

I will repeat; Everything is happy here (except for the villains) so it's a good read if you want to relax your mind from all the drama that you've been reading (or experiencing irl).

I'd give this a rating of 4.4 / 5. But seriously, I'm curious about the next events in this novel bec the ending (in the extras) introduced an interesting dynamic!! <<less

The translation is pretty good. The reviews feel a bit harsh. It's a cute story. Standard system-interstellar-transmigration mishmash.
Spoiler

I was a little concerned after seeing the review that MC livestreams his pregnancy diagnosis but it actually was a sudden situation while live-streaming rather than a purposeful choice due to money. Also, the MC isn't moneygrubbing like I had feared.

[collapse]
The story definitely has some plot holes and parts where one has to take with a grain of salt but overall isn't bad at all. Actually I even think it's one of the better ones. The relationship didn't even feel too crazy. At times the ML felt a bit yandere but not surprising given his background. Overall I felt it was worth a read and better than some other similar trope fics. The extras were very cute. I can see more stories written just from the extras alone.

My main gripe is the weird setting of male leads body.

... more>>
Spoiler

Like he's not a guy? I feel like this isn't clear. I'm not sure if it's a gender identity thing or he presents as both, but they way they handle it isn't very good. Honestly this is more of a gender bender on transmigration than yaoi. If you consider him a trans man, which he efficiently is, it's yaoi I guess. Idk that may disappoint some people.

[collapse]

Falls short in a few places, but overall probably worth reading once if bored, but you have to ignore weird plot gaps. <<less

This so good, and fun to read. There’s are alot of drama but it’s nothing too heave but mostly alot of cute interaction. Even the build up bg of MC is not very clear, his system just gives him op aura and plant system. And this leads to having to save the beasts and grows almost extinct edible plants and fruits! ML Maine is typical hidden villains turn good op ceo later. (Thus Xia Sen saving the world) Lol, but I love the side characters more, the beast were... more>> so cute and competent, Long Teng are super cute (I really love his character) his cp extra chapter are super lovely too! And I love the extras chapters, there’s surprises too. I binge read it for 2 days, and it worth the read. Thank you <<less

I really liked it except for one thing.

The author took a different angle for both beastmen/contract beasts/mpreg and even systems, but why did they throw the “transmirgrated into a book” trope into the mix and then not take it anywhere? It seemed the only reason for having it was so that the MC could have some inside information on the ML.

It was only mentioned in the first half of the book and doesn’t seem to gel with the explanation the system gave as to how the MC came to be... more>> in the body he is in.

For how well the different plot lines were handled for most of the book, I think the author could have found another way to bring in the information they wanted, without making it all come from a book the MC read in a past life. <<less

It's allright. My problems with it is that the MC is a little generic, the ML is overbearing and immature, and not quite my type, and the plot lacks any actual conflict or risk. I did enjoy it though and read it until the end, which I only do with 1/4 of the stories I try to mtl, probably because there was very little waffling around the pairings got together pretty readily. This could be because the MC is technically a heteros*xual female in this world so there isn't much... more>> "will they won't they" except for the MC who identifies as a man. <<less

At first I keep cursing due to plot holes and lack of common sense in facing situations. But since the midway to ending, there are lots of fluff due contracted beast and I really enjoy it.

This novel is heart warming and fluff ♥️

MC is totally OP and very quickly finds himself without any cares or struggles It was cute enough that I read the whole thing out but there were so many tangents of plot that didn't add up

Spoiler

The planet outside Blue with the beast people and all the plants just totally gets ignored after they leave. Wdym a planet with robust plant life and shifter human beasts that is just outside a major toursit hub isnt known of or cared about?

Loved it. It was a fun read, despite some plot holes but it was manageable since it didn’t disrupt my enjoyment.

The contract beasts were super adorable and I also want one for myself 😭😭

Very easy going transmigration story 😊

If you're looking for a story full of depth and up & downs... Maybe it's not for you. The MC and ML's journey revolves around rescuing beasts, finding good owners for them, cooking, live broadcasting, finding energy and (briefly) face-slapping the antagonists.

There's not really a setback for the protagonists. But I like this type of novel 🤷🏽‍♀️

The romance is sweet and the ML's paranoid behavior eventually gets better (it's not bad actually). I wanted more of the side couple and the baby's life tho 😔

It has many characters and plot and theme, this was a very good starting.

For my 4 star rating, there are some reasons needed to be mentioned:

1. Character setting, I don't appreciate it that much, specifically MC. He and ML few times had argument over ML's protective nature on MC. I think in this point the author wasn't able to make the conversation balanced for audience.

2. MC has everything, everything evolved around him. This is also ok. There are many Novel like this. But this is one is all about one,... more>> everything is about him. There is no hardship.

3. Finally I fell like the writing style, description, wasn't enough to make the novel more appreciated. The plot, character, everything is ok. But the main thing is how the author show it.

After probably 34, I lost my eagerness to read it. If you want a book without any difficulties, saddening moment, this one is for you. The love author show us is very fluffy. <<less

I almost skipped this novel due to some reviews, but I’m glad I gave it a chance (partly due to the translator).

The first chapter annoyed me a little, I admit, but later it got better for me.

MC had a plans system and lived on a pos apocalyptic world. I honestly don’t know how he survived - well, he didn’t in the end. Anyway, he transmigrated to a futuristic world where people evolved from beasts - they can’t turn into one, but they have contracted beasts. They are not born with... more>> them - instead, they have to find one with a high rate to make a contract. When people in this world complete 16 years old, they awake their beast tattoo that indicate what type of beast they can make a contract with. Depending on the position of this tattoos, the person can be male or female.

Now about the things I’ve read in the reviews that mislead me:

Spoiler

the original owner of MCs new body died by jumping from a building because he never awakened. He choose to study plants at the college, which is not popular because there isn’t much of vegetables in this world - it’s too expensive because the soil is not fertile. When MC transmigrated, he needed money, so, he ended up working as a caretaker. Due to his plant system, he has strong affinity with the beasts (because of the nature aura - and beasts are close to the nature.

so, yes, he knows about plants because he has a plant system, he graduated in plants because his body’s original owner choose this career. And he ended up working as a caretaker at first because that gave him what he needed: money to pay the bills and gratitude points to recover his plant system. And the fact that the beasts feel comfortable around him is what helped him get this job.

then he has to look for the energy that escaped from his system. Those energies affected the plants and beast around it and MC felt responsible. Also, those beats have high IQ, they just don’t speak human language. Eventually those beasts decided to star streaming to have money to pay for their accommodations and the things they wanted. MC helped them, but most of the time he leaves the beasts to take care of it alone (the cameras are fixed) and he himself is not the one showing his life there at all. When they find out MC was pregnant, he was having a meet and greet with the beasts. He would never willingly let people know he is a female - even why he himself doesn’t quite accept this.

oh, and about he being a female and not accepting is quite simple. He always thought about himself as a man and grow up in a world like ours, that biological woman and men have different s*xual organs. In this new world he went to, all people looks like men and the only difference is that female tends to be smaller, weaker and can have babies. But to MC, he looks exactly the same as always, have the same s*xual organs he always did, but suddenly someone told him he is a female and that he can have babies - things he never wished. So, yeah, he doesn’t take this really well.

I liked the novel, in that it was an easy read and full of good vibes. The villains were easily conquered, sometimes within the same chapter or the next and that's pretty much the longest any of the villains last.

What I didn't like was the flow of the storyline. It started off with MC being transmigrated and finding ML, who is apparently this great villain in a novel he read. A bad enough villain that he considered offing him early to save the world and their friend Long Teng being... more>> the protagonist that saves the world but somewhere along the way that storyline is completely lost and transferred into this online streaming, 'gotta catch em all' storylines that are soft and not dark like the beginning potential. Also, a lot of major plot points don't get explained, which is probably what bothered me the most.

ML's background was never, ever explained.
Spoiler

Like, how did his dad die, was he actually mu*dered by Soria and the Cox family? If yes, then why? I think it was mentioned that Meyer wanted a son and probably got with ML's dad for that but they kept ML as a bastard and kept hinting how they should have killed him too. I mean, if birthrates were so damn low in the interstellar era, having an extra son is just insurance. Also Meyer seems to be deeply in love with Soria, so his cheating with ML's dad just doesn't make sense! And Uncle Sotoko is Soria's blood brother, in what universe would ML actually think Sotoko would be a nice, caring uncle to him given the relationship complexities. It just doesn't make sense and none of the reasoning is ever explained. Even if ML held a grudge against the Cox family... it doesn't explain him wanting to destroy the world either?

[collapse]

While I am okay with the livestreaming tropes, I do find it to be lazy writing. Just because a netizen says something or takes the time to point out a fact... does not mean it will change the opinion of millions. Just take a look at the comments section on youtube or tiktok. <<less

There are some logic issues, for example: how can there be a forest when there should be no plants?

But overall I liked their relationship develop. It was very cute! Also the contract beasts were so damn cute!

MC was always 'very lucky', so in my opinion there wasn't much Angst, but it was very fulfilling cute and fluffy.

It's not very original or special but it is cute and entertaining so I would definitely recommend it if you have spare time

Using google translate, ignore spelling and other errors.

I honestly didn't have high expectations for this novel, I started reading thinking I would stop halfway through. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I make it clear to everyone that the novel is far from perfect, but it's still good to read.

I especially like the protagonist and his personality, although I think he had a rather inconsistent change from the beginning to when he gets ML. Still, I really like him and the fact that he loves beasts and plants.

For me, some things... more>> could have been done differently. The story itself did not know how to take advantage of the high moments, where we should be tense and with a lot of emotion.
Spoiler

For example, the energy the MC had to find could be especially impactful individual arcs. How he gets these energies and the description of scenes when absorbing could be made more exciting. It just felt like it was something very basic considering how important it is to the MC's life, the only energy I felt any special emotion was when they had to cut off a beast's horn to get hold of it. I felt that this "arc" was especially detailed and constantly developing.

Other moments that could have been more emotional; ML finding their contracted beast, MC and ML have further development before definitively getting together, exploring more the contracts, the system and the world building itself.

[collapse]

A highlight of this story were all the moments with the beasts. I just love them all and I dont care about them all, even the ones that appear in a few scenes. All the beasts are refreshingly charismatic and make me want to see more of their interactions with the MC.

I particularly loved the Adam system of blueprints and the whole contracted beast thing and the energy to be recovered. It was indeed creative, it just could have been executed more emotionally.

It's a very good story, I read it almost to the end (four or five chapters missing). There were monotonous moments, which I almost skipped, but the good and comedic moments made up for it. I love the MC and I also love the ML for not stopping the MC from being independent and making her own choices. I also love them as a couple, there's a lot of chemistry for a couple just moments before they're together.

A good story, thanks for reading. :) <<less

Mostly about contract beast and romance, gathering MC scattered energy, also a bit livestream. Planting is secondary and no farming since MC delegated that.

Character:

... more>>
Spoiler

MC. Xie Sen. Previously in apocalypse world, now he and his plant system transmigrated to interstellar/beastman/contract beast world. Plant system was weak because saving MC life, so their mission is to gather 5 type energy to stabilize MC. This plant system help MC be friendly with contract beast since it calms them. Female in beastworld.

ML. Maine. Grow up loveless, very insecure and doting towards MC. MC found out that he could be the villain of the world so MC approached him but fell in love together. Contract beast is flying lion that somehow is still unnamed... Male

Long Teng. Original protag of the world, fearless and likes to fight. Likes Bai Jiao. Male

Bai Jiao. Specialty is medicine, cold and aloof but caring. Female

[collapse]

World background:

Spoiler

Male and female, male typically 190 cm and big muscly like alpha, while female is man 180cm but can get pregnant like ger or omega.

People already evolved so they cannot change into beast but can have contracted beast instead, while their ancestor can shapeshift between beast and human.

Contract beast is smarter the higher the level. They can make contract with the people if sync rate over 50 pt.

The world cannot grow plants so they mostly eat beast or meat (dont ask how they can farm the animals without feed... Maybe they can eat human inedible plants like grass? And grass no problem growing?). There is forest but full of inedible plants, but farming plant is impossible since the soil wont grow plants even with fertilizer.

[collapse]

Story is okay, even when world building is interesting and sometimes not making sense. MC is kinda mary sue (can comm with cb, can produce plant, easily get cb, can sooth beasts), but he work quite hard to gather energy. A bit disappointed there is no farming, but the contract beasts characters are really fun. There are many charas in the story and overall pretty good read though sometimes feels bad for ML with how insecure he is and feels frustrating around chap 90
Spoiler

when we thought energy gathering is complete but turns out still needs 1/5 more of the water energy.

[collapse]

Sometimes a bit bland with how everyone following MC for whatever he say and MC can be a bit hypocrite about law and order. At least in the beginning before MC halo gets too strong, the charas are interesting and quite realistic.

Spoiler

Since MC and ML started getting together, the charas are getting a bit bland and routine is repetitive with MC going to work with cb, livestream, go home to cook, while ML working, etc and then rinse and repeat. Sometimes MC gets harmed or kidnapped in a way, then ML saves him and retaliate, then MC said he doesnt need ML protection, then ML insecure because afraid MC will leave him. This happened quite a few times. The occasional trips to gather energy is the fun part, but it also has repetitive element where they end up getting more famous/revered and bring home plant and more cb.

[collapse]

Overall, I think it can be better. Although not bad, a bit boring. <<less

This is quite a nice slice of life novel with a minimum of dog blood drama- the villains were taken care of easily and is a great palate changer for when you've just finished reading a heavy novel.
