Description

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

After getting into an accident, I reincarnated into a novel that I stopped reading.

— Squeak! (What the?!)

I became a hamster who never appeared in the novel.

[Current Miracle Value 1%] [Raise the Miracle Value. It’ll save you from death!]

They gave me, who possessed a small hamster, a quest to bring ‘miracles’ to this world. Then, I could return to my original body.

‘How about saving Kyle? That’s a miracle in a way!’

[Goal decision completed: Save Kyle Jane Meinhardt.] [Selecting the quest…]

However, when I decided to save Kyle, who was the reason I stopped reading the novel, from his imminent death…

“Why are you trying to dance with me? There’s so many people over there!”
“Why? Because out of all those people, you’re my pet.”

Being able to temporarily use Miracle Value to become a human is great, but…
Is it just me or is life as a human more difficult than as a rodent?

“If I tie you up, you won’t disappear.”
“… Don’t you know that confinement is a crime?”

Will I be able to save Kyle and have this world meet a happy ending?

4.5 stars!

I'm actually surprised on how much I liked this. Moreso because of how vibrant the characters were.

The story itself is kind of generic. Boring even. But the author wholly made it up with how they wrote MC and ML. I didn't even notice how generic it was until the story itself slowed the characters themselves. Even though it's expected to for the story to be interesting due to how the characters react to certain events, the author somehow flipped it over. The characters reacting made the story amazing.

MC is... more>> probably the most interesting MC I'e read in a while. He is loud, not afraid, but not s*upid either. Him being a hamster made him less self-aware of his brash and angry actions because the people around him just shrugged him off as a regular and mindless hamster. This made him more interesting while limiting him severely due to his hamster body letting him get away with being brash and angry brazenly. The shenanigans he gets into with his temporary human switches makes his rather desperate actions reasonable because he was on a strict time limit to react to certain events. His personality was honestly so refreshing that his personality from the side stories before he transmigrated was surprising until I remembered that his reactions and actions were driven through desperation and the heat of the moment.

ML on the other hand stands as your basic broody, dark knight until he reveals his love for cute hamsters. The contrast is so whiplash inducing that it does leave you in slight disbelief until you just accept it as his weird quirk like you do with your friends. He himself isn't loud, but his actions speaks volumes. Through his actions and when he thinks no one is looking, you know he loves deeply and the author does a good job making you feel for him. Yes, his back story is the same tragedy you see in every other light novel but the author was great is focusing on him moving on to protect his new love rather be hung up on a revenge to be fulfilled from the past. The fact that he wasn't thinking of revenge at all throughout majority of the story and him admitting his wish to protect early on in the story was another refreshing point.

The pacing of this story was okay-ish. The plot itself was definitely only there to support the character developments vs the other way around. But that's totally okay. I honestly wasn't drawn to the story at all, only how the characters interacted with each other including all the side characters of both living and sentient. This is definitely one of those fairytale happily ever afters, that just refreshes your story palettes if you needed to get away from the blood filled dramas that leaves you mentally exhausted.

Please give this a try! <<less

It's a cute and sweet story with a MC and ML aren't too OP. But it's got a predictable and anticlimactic ending.

The relationship between the two main characters is healthy and MC actually has skills but the beginning of their relationship is kind of confusing. ML is attracted to MC why? He seems way too into MC for complete strangers.

The villains seem like they have promise and present a real threat but then they meet their demises way too easily. And there are moments where the system provides too much... more>> convenience at key moments so there's little tension there.

Overall though, it's still worth the read. I treated it like comfort food. Not too much angst, with a blend romance, action, and comedy with no surprises and dramatics. Nothing outstanding but you know what you're gonna get. <<less

What I can say is... this is literally JungDok in Medieval Era wwwww

Omg I laughed so hard every time Cashew (MC in hamster mode) gave up his body to be kissed by Kyle wwwww I can't help imagining Junghyuk kissed Hamja lmao!

And what I love the most probably is Kyle had fallen for MC in both version :')

The latest chapter I read... ... more>>
Spoiler

Kyle hasn't confessed but they talked heart to heart about MC being a hamster. They talked as MC sat on Kyle's laps. Yeah, they did that in Kyle's bedroom. F*ck.

Great potential, but a bit wasted toward the ending that it ended up becoming pretty much generic.

While I love how the MC and ML look quite like JoongDok (plus the webtoon promo is just beautiful), I'm a bit disappointed by how lackluster the plot becomes toward the ending. It feels rushed and (in my opinion) a bit anticlimactic.

The fluff and cute moments might heal to some extent (in fact, I love them a lot), but even that doesn't hold long. Only the first 50 chapters are full of fluff,... more>> and it will take quite a while for it to return. So I suggest readers brace themselves for the upcoming storm. It's frustrating to read.

I do love the MC and ML's personalities and interactions. You can't help but root for them. But something is a bit missing from them. Honestly, I don't think their love is portrayed deep enough. I don't know if it is just the author's writing style or something, but I needed to wait until the side story to be able to finally think that "Oh, they do love each other."

And one more thing I don't quite like from this novel.
Spoiler

It's the smut scenes. I don't know why but they feel so flat and bland. I'd been waiting for that since I started following the novel last year, but when it finally came, I just thought it was meh

[collapse]

But all the negative points aside, I do like the novel. It's CUTE. It's healing (kinda). It's comforting (at some parts). It's entertaining enough to spend your time reading.

I might be a bit harsh on my review because of my personal disappointment, but don't let it stop you from giving it a try. <<less

Wassup folks! I have read this all the way through the available chapters and here are my thoughts :^

So, this story is about a guy who got hit by ☆truck-kun☆ and is now in the body of a demon hamster. He is paired up with a system

[who is not the most helpful, but I personally don't find that annoying.]

... more>> His goal is to (for the most part) save the ML from various unfortunate events and go home. This is a relatively straightforward goal, but becomes difficult for three reasons:

1. The MC is a f*cking hamster.

2. The 'miracle value' that allows him to go home and turn human is slow as hell

3. The ML is totally hamster obsessed and is fixated on hamster MC (this is cute, but also means when MC goes missing or turns human the ML has a stroke)

Speaking of which, the ML's gap moe between being this cold northern ruler and being this "OMGHEMOVEDILOVEHIMSOMUCHOMGGGGG!!!♡♡♡" is just adorable. Like, really cute.

(Don't worry, it's a little more low key than that, but it's still just the most random and wholesome trait ever.)

Overall, the plot is unique enough to make me remember that one gay hamster story for the rest of my life and fun enough to make me both cringe and laugh my ass off. ^^ I recomend for those who like wholesome, funny stories with some subtle weirdness. :D

I don't recomend much for those who are more inclined to serious, darker stories, as there is very little angst. ;^; <<less

Highly recommended for those who wants to reincarnate into a fantasy world where you find the true meaning of your life and love.

A lovey-dovey couple. Funny twists and honest personalities. I absolutely loved it.

It bothered me a little that in the end we didn't get to know who/what exactly is the sistem, but the emojis were cute.

... more>> I also liked how they weren't immediately charmed by the MC, but they accepted him after he earned the characters's trust.

There is still no sign of extra story, but you can read the original novel online. <<less

I honestly wanted to like this. The premise is hilarious and charming — a hamster with a system, political intrigue, a slow-burn BL romance. It seemed like it had everything I’d enjoy. But around the halfway point, it took a serious turn, and unfortunately, that’s when the writing started depending way too much on the main character doing absolutely nothing.

Shu is one of the most frustrating protagonists I’ve ever read. He’s not evil, he’s not cold — which would at least be interesting — he’s just paralyzed by indecision. And... more>> somehow, the story treats that as deep. It’s not deep. It’s just exhausting.

Spoiler

There’s a scene during a duel between the second prince and the villainous first prince. The villain cheats — poison, illegal magic, everything. Shu has the power to stop time. Literally stop time. And what does he do? He saves Sen, the most passive, least relevant character in the scene, and just stands there. That’s it. Doesn’t disarm the villain. Doesn’t warn anyone. Doesn’t even prepare a backup plan. Time resumes, the prince dies, Kyle gets injured protecting Shu, and it’s all preventable.

To make it worse, Shu has healing items, a shop, teleportation, all kinds of OP tools. And he doesn’t use any of it. Not because he can’t — but because he doesn’t think to. He just stands there feeling bad. And he keeps doing that. Again and again. Freeze, fail, feel bad, repeat.

[collapse]

And that’s where it lost me. I don’t need a perfect or morally good protagonist. I don’t even mind evil ones, if they’re clever. What I can’t stand is a protagonist who lets people suffer and die not out of malice, but out of sheer emotional uselessness — and then gives us a poetic guilt monologue like that somehow makes it okay.

Shu doesn't grow. He just broods. And I’ve read too many good stories to waste time on one where the lead has power but can’t use it for anything except internal suffering.

I dropped it. It’s a shame, because this story could’ve been so much more if the author gave the MC a brain. <<less

I dont understand the hatred from that one girl who only read till chapter 23 😂.

The novel itself is fine, the ML are green flag, total communication (which is rare for any ML characters usually) tho its the MC who are unable to have truth out since he is a transmigrator and he died and he cant say that he get into the fictional world without sounding lunatic😂

The storyline is fun, some of the characters are annoying (sorry but sen is kinda boring) but most of the time its just... more>> ML and MC.

Spoiler

Its gets fun when knox the real villain of MC and the north starts showing up.

[collapse]

Its a light short story which I highly recommended. Its not overwhelming or overbearing complicated story, its a really simple story of a guy who transmigrated into fictional world and fell in love with the side character there while helping him to safe the north. <<less

I'm really looking forward to this novel! I am a sucker for transmigration to an animal body! The starting chapters available 1-3 has a well put reactions from MC especially in ch3 where he needs to run 30 laps. Whoo! That is so hard as a human, especially for white collared workers who exhort 100% brain and 0% body. I'm still not into the novel deeply due to three chapters but so far it's so good! Can't wait for the updates. The translator has a polished work too!

5.0 for me!

Really fun if you like reincarnation + system, especially if you like the MC getting involved when necessary.

The System itself it’s so cute and funny, I love them dearly. It communicates mainly via emojis and it’s just adorable. The MC and System banter is my favorite thing, more novels need it.

MC is comical and not a pushover, which I like a lot. I find all the characters very endearing and likable, they have their own goals and feel like real people. Serious but not serious, fun, very cute.... more>> Slowish burn romance. ML is understanding and likable, protective but not crazy nor a jerk. Respectable and loving.

The plot gets more in depth as it goes along and the dynamics between characters get explained along the way. Why the ML is impatient with the MC in the first chapters and how the social structure works. It’s the first relationship for the MC so the romance from his perspective becomes awkward at times.

MC isn’t physically strong or magically strong but he is reliable and relatable. He is very clever and solves problems with the direct use of the system and its “currency”, with the help of his companions. His main goal is to help the ML and eventually other people.

Make sure to read a good quality translation if you are not reading the original, unless you’re gonna end up like a review here and not understand the characters or plot at all... Lol. <<less

I really enjoyed reading this BL, mainly because of both characters and how they end up fitting together. The story has not been completely translated yet but I have already finished reading it, I read it by the original publisher and I can easily say, I did not regret it! It was a wonderful experience and I had a lot of fun reading it. The system is also very helpful sometimes and cute, omg the faces that he make ᕦ (ò_óˇ) ᕤ sometimes are super funny! Both characters are also... more>> very smart and the protagonist manages to be very fun and cute as a hamster which makes reading it super easy, it is well written and has become one of my favorites books! <<less

The idea was cute and funny... at first.

But then everything takes a serious turn, and the story isn't lighthearted and humorous but a bit tense.

This would be fine if it's done well but the characters, in particular the MC, are a bit... well... s*upid.

This results in a very specific moment of s*upidity that very clearly is only done that way because the author needed to move the plot in a specific direction but their MC was too powerful.

... more>>
Spoiler

Shu, which is our MC's nickname, has a chance to save the Crown Prince (the ML of the original story) from the First Prince (Lorenz I think his name is?).

During a one-on-one duel, the first prince cheats by poisoning his blade, and the Crown Prince is struggling. Shu has a chance to freeze time and intervene but what does he do? He waits until anything he does is useless and the enemies aim at his friend Sen, the original female lead, trying to kill her to make the Crown Prince despair. So he's forced to use all of his OP abilities just to save her and is unable to help the Crown Prince.

All because Kyle discouraged him from making a decision that could lead to someone else's death. In a freaking world where people can die at the whims of a noble, and monsters kill people constantly, Kyle doesn't want Shu to be responsible for someone else's death. And that someone else is a horrible maniac who will probably later try to massacre everyone in the North. And our MC Shu is constantly whining about how hard this choice is.

On top of all of that, the Crown Prince isn't actually dead, just severely injured. Shu has magical items that can heal horrible wounds without causing scarring, and the shops he can access have all other sorts of helpful stuff but suddenly he does nothing. He doesn't even search in the shop for something that can help, he just completely ignores the shop. Not once is there ever a moment where he stops and thinks "Oh, maybe my shop has something?" The author could have even made it so the items aren't good enough to help but they didn't even put in that bare minimum of effort.

[collapse]

I'll be honest, I'm against MCs who constantly act like mu*der-hobos with everyone who even glances at them the wrong way, but being too timid and cowardly is just ridiculous.

All of this to set up the later tension in the story, and it failed miserably, only making me really annoyed at Shu and Kyle. <<less

But I'm disappointed towards the end arcs of the story.

I meant, he gave away every important facts about himself towards this Knox guy bacause of this forced cooperative experiment from this Knox guy itself whom anyone could see from every single perspective is the main villain with the North's and Grand Duke's and his safety for the reaward which of course highly doubtful to be kept by this Knox guy. Why would he do that?? He don't even got important clues to increase his interference rate from this Knox guy!

This gave me a hearthache it's been days and I still haven't got the guts to read the remaining chapters except the last chapter because I'm afraid to be disappointed. Give me some time guys. I might finish this someday. <<less

So it's too much like a fanfic, it feels like a self incert...

The attention the ML gives the MC is not normal. When he's in his hamster form, then sure, I liked my pet from the first day I saw it too, so nothing to say about this, but when MC is in human form ??

The ML only saw the MC like once or twice and he's already getting jaleous, asking for a dance, getting all worried etc.

Another thing that rubbed me the wrong way is the hierarchy. Like MC... more>> talked to the ML and the prince in a really not respectful way, and they both didnt care.

He also disappear whenever wherever and it doesnt bother anyone (i mean they do mention it a bit, but idk it should be a very big issue ??). Same thing for the stolen clothes, do they have no assassin in this world for them to trust anyone so easily ? Especially the ml, a duke who should have a lot of ennemies, and also a lot of suitors, but he doesnt care about anything, see the MC for the first time, and from then on no one else exists.

It might be a biasied review because I usually read enemies to lovers novels, but even so I find the early chapters at least, very unrealistic. <<less

I gave it a 4.1/5

I am fascinated by this story It had a strong start, a smart MC, and very good characterization The relationship between Shu and Kyle was very beautiful and soft, butterflies flew in my stomach every time

It remained so until the end. Both Kyle and Shu have deep personalities that are easy to understand

The story covers almost everything, or at least I was satisfied with its progress

Spoiler

No idea why despite MC's seemingly OP system later on (can stop time for 1 minute, can teleport, etc), they're so helpless when facing the villain. They know the first prince is evil, cunning, not someone who would do things righteously, why would they trust him when he said to duel 1v1 to decide the outcome? No preparation at all when the first prince play dirty...

ML's likeability is also a bit instant, since he had good feelings for no reason at all when he first met MC.

A fun, comedic and cute read to pass the time. It doesn't exactly make sense at times, but not in a way that completely breaks the plot — just some small gaps in common sense, so read with your brain off and enjoy the ride. If you're looking for a deep and meaningful story with a complex plot, or if illogical actions are a pet peeve of yours, this isn't for you.

Oh, and don't mind the person who rated this a 1... They rated out of their own personal preference... more>> and not out of the actual flaws of the story. <<less

Really adorable and very wholesome lol

At first I thought it was a manhwa turns out it was just a promotional ad for the novel. They really look like kim dokja and yoo junghyuk, thats why I started reading it.

Love both MC and ML. ML is so cute whenever he interacts with the hamster MC lol and hes so green flag. Love the MC's sassy attitude, whenever he was kissed by ML as a hamster.

... more>> Mostly its just MC and ML, side characters are not that interesting.

The plot isnt that heavy but felt bland especially where they are at the tower with Nox.
Spoiler

The experiment with nox felt so meaningless, especially for Nox. It didnt really explain why Nox needed MC, maybe hes just interested or hes just buying time. The question and answers were more benefitting for the MC not Noz himself.

[collapse]

Also it felt cringe reading the fighting scenes, it felt like the author doesnt know how to write fighting scenes.

Plot: 3/5

Characters: 4/5

Romance: 5/5

OVERALL: 4/5

Really enjoyed the story, it was overall cute and funny!

I laughed a lot due to having a sassy MC who needs to have the last word and grumbles a lot, specially when "Otaku Hamster Lover" showers him with kisses... lol.

The author gave it just the right amount of action, comedy and fluff moments. The chemistry between ML and MC is really sweet that gives butterflies and the system is just too cute with its communication via emojis.

I like transmigation and shift to other dimension, I'm not too keen on system... more>> stories, but the this story presented the system concept well with a cute personality.

I like when ML finds out that MC is from another world, and this story really

transported them both back to Korea, which Kyle (ML) got to see for himself.

I really recommend to give a read, there are some complaints about not being realistic or maybe not making sense... is a fantasy story, so take it for what it is.

Overall, I'm glad to have read it to the end! >_< <<less
