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

Post-apocalyptic World, Otherworldly Creature Invasion.

Monsters, strange phenomena, and disasters are constantly looming… Humans struggle in agony on the edge of life and death every day.

—Ye Yunfan woke up in such a world.

Upon opening his eyes, the whole world was dark and gloomy, with towering waves that made it seem as if it was the end of the world.

At that moment, Ye Yunfan realized he had transformed into a small, palm-sized pink octopus.

…Although not human, at least he wouldn’t drown.

However, in the next second, countless terrifying monsters roared and crawled out of the huge waves. They opened their bloody mouths wide like sacrificial bowls, exposing their sharp teeth.

Ye Yunfan: !!!

The little octopus immediately turned its head, and its eight small tent**les turned into propellers.

In this critical moment, someone suddenly descended from the thunderclouds a hundred meters high and, with one stroke of his knife, cut the monster in half.

Cut.in.half!!!

Ye Yunfan: “…..?”

—This guy is the real monster.

Before he could finish complaining to himself, he was lifted up by the guy using the back of the blade. The youth with heterochromatic eyes stared at him for a long time, tilting his head in confusion.

“Pink…jellyfish?”

Ye Yunfan: …It’s an octopus!

It’s a small pink octopus!!!

Yuan Ye is the most powerful, gifted ability user in history, but he suffers from a severe phobia of physical contact. As a result, he wraps himself up tightly all year round, even wearing two layers of gloves.

His therapist suggested that he first find something similar to human touch to adapt to. So Yuan Ye searched for a long time and finally caught a small jellyfish to try it out. Unfortunately——

“The little jellyfish had too few tent**les, only eight.”

Baby octopus Ye Yunfan: “……”

However, the little jellyfish did have a miraculous effect, and Yuan Ye’s illness was finally cured.

It’s just that the effect of the medicine was a bit too strong, causing him to develop a craving for the touch of tent**les.

Ye Yunfan: “……” I told you it’s an octopus!

And Yuan Ye, can you please put me in a normal place!!!

I super like the premise especially with the protagonist gong but the storytelling bored me out. There are so many descriptive details that are unnecessarily repeated. The narrative is more tell than show which is really tiring to read. The descriptions are like author-san is trying to write an anime (which is a film not a written piece).

I wrote like that in the past so I kinda can't ignore all of this and it's frustrating because I the premise of this story is my tea.

Same author as the pheromone recognition disorder. Every Chapters of this novel is really really long. But it's still good nevertheless.

There are a lot of mysteries at the start but you will figure it out slowly as the story progresses.

As a lotm fan, I really like tent**les troupes. P.s I am not kinky : (Our Jellyfish Gong is the MC here and he is so cute!! He will be able to change into a human form pretty early on and his human form is also cute! He loves to... more>> stay in beautiful jars and would always irresistibly move towards them like ahhhhh so cute!!! Ahem, I am totally not simping. He can take the abilities of any players he kills and will become stronger later. MC is a gentleman, reserved, old-fashioned and most importantly a green-flag.

Our ML is a human with a typical MLs illness of not being able to touch people. But no worries he can touch a certain octopus hehe :) His power is the ability to cut space. He will become uncontrollable once touched and cut anyone ofc, expect MC. ML is so down bad and a simp for MC. (Like me)

Spoiler

MC as an octopus has 3 hearts and he already lost 2 of them so it already is his last life at the start of the novel. Although the novel started off like it's their first time meeting each other, nope they were already lovers before. Due to some unknown reasons, MC died and ML became suicidal so they had to delete ML's memories. I will be honest. Although I don't really like the overused "knowing each other since way before", "losing memories" troupe, I will forgive it since the story is good! The plot is also good. The world is somehow a game world and MC is a "traitor" of the groups of players controlled by god while ML and the rest are npcs. I won't delve deeper into the world settings. It's up to you all to find out!

[collapse]

Anyway, this novel is a 10/10 for me. I recommend it. The original novel is still not completed. <<less

After one chapter, I went ahead and bought all available chapters on jjwxc. I'm loving that every chapter leads to a deeper mystery and more adventures featuring our lovely jellyfish.

Action: Lots of action! Every chapter is action!

Romance: Not fast but not slow. Also, I'm enjoying watching how the obsession develops.

Character development: pretty good!
Spoiler

Jellyfish's descent into easily mu*dering the bad guys and eating the weird food is not really explained well but is given some thought so it's not too jarring.

[collapse]
Shou's emotions are explained really well with a sprinkling of foreshadowing (I think, I haven't gotten that far). I'm also rooting for the side characters.

Even the side characters are well developed. Each introduced character (even if they are only in a few chapters) are well written. Overall, hoping more people read this gem!

Romance Fantasy/SF danmei with gong protagonist

Interesting world. Mysteries ✔️ tent**les ✔️ s*x ❌ (see below)

It's just the bit kinky with a non-human protagonist and all. Good or bad, human form does exist.

Some things are a bit obvious, but there's not much to critique at all. Narration is good. But, there is one thing where the POV is somewhere between close third and omniscient third. It's a bit strange at times how you sometimes seem to know Yuan Ye's thoughts and sometimes it's a bit opaque. The POV mixup could... more>> use some improvement.

But overall it seems well-written, as a genre piece, with balance between uniqueness and predictability.

Would highly recommend.

If there's anything to look out for I'll edit it but so far there's zero things you need to look out for as a gay man reading. You really feel the author being a woman though, but maybe I'm wrong.

*edit: so here's things to look out for: (1) the word 'wife' (老婆) is used exuberantly, though by both people, (2) although it might be partly due to censorship considerations (it's on jjwxc), the author seems to be trying really hard to put off writing s*x scenes, though there is definitely smutty kinky tension—it's just not "all the way" (as in to R18 land, not necessarily to penetration, cause s*x isn't just penetration), but when it does arrive, it's... horrible imo, i.e. le*d lust, chaste sex, (3) "receiving" is sore walking strange, "giving" is well-rested, (4) the possessiveness or yandere factor is a bit too strong from the ML + he sometimes breaks his character by talking too much when it's him and his octopus who can talk (a man of few words became a man of many words just cause?), (5) the romance isn't really romancing well after the reveal and all... dynamics and conflicts and such seemed... not good when compared to when it were desires and such.

Also, major points off for breaking setting: stamina consumption was high transforming into a human but later on it wasn't mentioned at all.

Personally (1) I would make an editorial decision to replace its with the word 'husband' (there are very much sexist/heteronormative reasons why such words may or may not be used in China vs in the western world), (2) just allow the characters to be taken by passion/horniness more and change the genre tags from 'suggestive' to 'explicit', if that makes sense, (3) just remove that description. The rest has no cure, can only rewrite.

---

P.S.

First time in forever I've seen a gong protagonist 🤤

---

Add.

I think this piece sits squarely at a 4/5 'good' rating for me. There are visible areas of improvement and it isn't a 'flawless' rendition of a story by any means, much less a masterpiece. But I'm bumping the points cause gong protag + BL.

The tent**les + touch-sensitive choices were just damn good. But what's up with fade-to-black in the middle of scenes and tent**les? The spice level doesn't match 😵 It's like watching a p*rno with camera avoiding all the dicks, showing half the b**bs, only body shots and facial expressions when you get the actual scenes. Just skip it else you will spit blood. <<less

My advice

DON'T THINK EVEN A SECOND AND READ IT and trust me u will not regret giving it a chance.

... more>> The story, the characters and the world building just pulls u in the novel and while reading it's like u are actually there and seeing it all happen.

The relationship of our MCs started developing neither tooo soon nor toooo late which I like and the stories of even the side characters were very well written and u can actually connect with them and feel their joy and sadness. That's all I can say so it's 5 starts from my side and I highly recommend it to all <<less

Very happy I read this.

A little rushed towards the end, but overall: plot and pacing were A+, emotional line was a solid A, side characters were A+ for AMAZING (even the "bad" bad guys and the BAD bad guys).

I wish I could scrub my brain and reread it for the first time again.

Actually surprisingly fun??? Honestly the title made it seem like a p*rn novel but it's not. The plot is actually really fun to follow. I love how the author has given life to each character. The world building has been a little slow but I feel like a huge part of it coming very soon. I really recommend this !

This is novel is very good. The plot is wonderful with a lot of foreshadowing from chapter 1 till the everything was revealed at the end and explained in the postscript extra chapters. You can truly feel that there are no useless background characters in the story and more importantly no annoying young masters.

The story takes place in a LOTM similar setting where humanity is at its dredges and despair is everywhere but the light of humanity still truly shine. It might be lackluster in terms of world-building as the... more>> only revealed part of the map was the last human empire where the main plot takes place and no other mention of what happened outside the empire's border. Though it was understandable as the setting takes place in an already ravaged and destroyed world.

The side characters are also well-developed and it was sometimes fun seeing the POV on their side and the side couple was not BL for once as opposed to other stories and it was very refreshing. The mob characters who was named
Spoiler

or died

[collapse]

More importantly is my most favorite character in this story, The High Priest!!

Spoiler

He is the most strongest character in the whole story aside from the last boss in the end. He had everything planned right from the beginning, the first meeting reunion of MC and ML at the beginning of the story, their progress, MC's growth, and the defeat of the last boss in the end. Everything was already in his plans.

[collapse]
Though I already guessed his identity midway in the story and it was kind of obvious with all the foreshadows in place but that is what also makes this story very interesting. All the foreshadows was picked up and not forgotten or thrown away.

The relationship between MC and ML was also very good, mutual pampering
Spoiler

although ML was very submissive to the MC, due to his past, but it is in a good way

[collapse]
. Their relationship was also not sweet enough to induce diabetes nor too bitter but just right. Their interactions were cute while their mutual trust and dependence were neither too much nor too little. <<less

WHAT A NOVEL!

I love it. It kept me surprised till the end. The plot, the world building, the character arcs, it was one better than the other. Please the way the apocalypse was described really made me feel like I was there watching every horrifying thing happen.

This author is a powerful writer. It literally made me binge read it. I absolutely loved every aspect of this novel. There is nothing complain.

... more>> Plot - 5/5

Writing - 5/5

Characters - 4/5

Description of events - 6/5

Do yourselves a favour if you like a thrilling romance novel that can keep you up at night along with some heavy apocalyptic elements (Like no kidding, the way things were described really surprised me at first) and ofcourse our lil octopus and its tent**les.

Dont go in expecting something thats only romance. There are some heavy violence descriptions along with weird alien things that can make your stomach churn when you read about it. So its not all rosy, Keep that in mind when you jump into this pit. But once you are in, you cannot get out

Also if anyone can find raws for chapter 145 and 146, pls lmk cuz I cannot find them anywhere TT_TT <<less
