《I’m sorry, I only thought of you as a cat》

On the third day after the death of his beloved cat, Guaji, the heartbroken He Yunzhou picked up a man on his doorstep.

Yes, he knew that the other party was just a neighbor who lives upstairs.

But before this day, he couldn’t have imagined that there really was such a person so similar to his Guaji……

It was probably because of this that he couldn’t help but raise this awkward, wayward, and troublesome man.

As for the industry elite; the dashing, rich, outstanding, wanderer, Huo Zheng,

He wouldn’t realize until much later,

That as it turns out, the man treated him so well wasn’t because he wanted to have a partner,

But because he……is just a substitute for a dead cat.

……

Huo Zheng: Every day I fall in love alone and rely on my own imagination to the ups and downs of love, sadness, joy, and parting……(he’s really a gong that thinks a lot)

Meanwhile, He Yunzhou: Cook with your heart and feed the one that looks like his cat on his dining table. Love? What is love? (bewildered)

Rating: 3.5

The plot is a little bit of a mess, but the romance is quite sweet. I like the concept of typical character archetypes (gentle MC x cold, arrogant ML) showing complexity, while having both archetypes heal each other's wounds. Now, was it executed properly? MMmm... Not really. The writing does require you to drop some brain cells, but it ain't a horrible read for the romance. It's one of the few times my "lounge" list stays true to its purpose, because this type of novel is exactly when you... more>> really don't got nothing else to read.

Recc if you got nothing else to do. <<less

The plot is driven forward by misunderstandings, which I really hate. I don't even feel second-hand embarrassment; just annoyance.

The novel also reads like a recipe book. I don't need a step-by-step guide on how to make duck tongue soup and I don't want to know all the dishes the MC is cooking- which can take up more than half the chapter with the ML's reaction to said cooking.

From what I've seen so far, the MC is also timid and a pushover. I guess the tags do say he has trauma... more>> but I feel like he's not likeable enough for me to stick around and see how he heals.

Overall, a disappointing and frustrating novel. I don't perceive any fluff either so I don't understand why the rating is so high. <<less

Chicken soup for the soul BL (literally and figuratively!)

genuinely the warmest BL I have ever read, made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside + I now have 1 (one) man on my 'would marry in a heartbeat' list and it is our very own MC

a lonely MC recovering from unrequited love and his cat's passing (+ a dash of trauma) meets a lonely rich man who reminds him of his cat - cue inviting him over for dinner and in the process accidentally seducing him via food... more>> and love.

One of the only novels I have ever actively checked for new chapters every day (rip infrequent updates ha ha ha.. Ha.. QAQ) <<less

A short and sweet novel. This story is about two lonely people that come together thanks to a misunderstanding.

The MC, He Yunzhou, was an illustrator and a homebody whose entire live revolved on his cats. And when his beloved cat died, in his grief, he took the ML, Huo Zheng, as a substitute for his old cat. The ML meanwhile, was in the beginning was a cold, 'high', and logical businessman, but later we'll see that he was actually a flawed and lonely person whose entire worldview shifted thanks to... more>> MC sincere love for (his cat) him. It's a bit of slow burn romance but in the end they finally sorted out their misunderstanding and fills out their live with each other together, and with MC's cat.

If there's a miss, it's the plot about MC's friend

, it's a bit too dogblooded in an otherwise heartwarming novels, but for the rest it was pretty good. 4/5 stars <<less

Man, I read this a while back and I forgot why I hated it so I read it again. This time I'm leaving a review so I remember.

MC is the plain, timid type that honestly has a hard time letting go of things, whether it's his cat, his first love girl, his past.... It's tedious.

ML has serious mommy issues. He's the regular rich 2nd generation and he acts sooo spoiled. He's arrogant and looks good with his silver hair and green eyes but besides that... I'm not sure how MC... more>> can stand him. Oh, wait, it's cuz of his cat. It's like whatever ML does has this deep plot-driven force that makes MC associate everything ML does with his cat. Bizarre but we already talked about some of MC's flaws.

I honestly believe MC could be replaced by any gentle, caring mother and the story would be the same. ML just wants to be taken care of and pampered, whether it's home cooked meals or coaxing words whenever he's in a huff. The man-child attitude is a huge turn off.

The romance later is kind of okay but it also feels super typical. Y'know those rich CEO stories where the ML dotes on the Ordinary Poor Heroine™? Yeah, it's exactly like that.

I also dislike the plot. It's mostly fueled my misunderstandings (yes, I know the tags say it) but they're super dumb misunderstandings. They don't really make sense to me and they definitely wouldn't hold up in real life. Some characters do or say things like they have no actual knowledge of MC, just superficial knowledge and it confuses me because aren't you friends??? If I loved my cats enough to specially prepare their meals and spend as much time with them as MC does, my friends would definitely be hearing me cry about one of their deaths. Like, it's not a secret so I don't know why it's not brought up.

Anyways, it gets 2 stars because it's not terribly written. The beginning was actually kind of funny, whenever ML and MC's cat has a stand-off or whatever. <<less

If you're a foodie who loves cats, this is going to be your comfort food. If you like silly misunderstandings that lead to fun dialogues, this is going to be your delight. If you enjoy watching the knitting together of couples who shouldn't fit, this is the book for you. I like at least 3 of those points, so I rate this novel a 4.4-4.5

I've read the novel armed with jjwxc amd google translate up to ch. 70 or so.

Its a slow burner with fluff on one side and a lot of angst on the other side.

The plot is built on misunderstandings, but I don't hate it, as its not as blatant as in other novels, where characters are very outspoken usually but to make plot happen speak in roundabout ways 🤦‍♂️ Both our MCs are quite quiet people, so it usually makes sense.

I liked one of the author notes to some chapter, its a novel about two unlikely to get along people with their own traumas overcoming them and healing together!

[collapse]

About the most annoying thing for me - the food descriptions and recipes kind of disappear for long stretches of time as plot picks up! So if you're struggling with it, I suggest skimming over those paragraphs 🤣

Overall, 4 (3.5) /5 <<less
