plot was good but turned into mess for me
like initially mc and we readers were on same page which works great for many novels like lotm ss etc but later mc gets knowledge of entire world and we as readers are left behind for mc to appear mysterious providing little bits of info between chapters
secondy power up of the mc was way to big considering he found it on a random quest though it worked well but for it to become the foundation of world building...idk maybe I am being a b*tch
lastly harem becomes a mess it is very hard to hard to provide all characters screen time which author is handles very well
the fluff is nice and good but the character interactions became repetitive and not add anything to plot for me...and so is sm*t
enough yapping now good points
its well written
the world building is excellent

the slice of life and fluffs
not cringe like most sm*t novel
rating 4/5 for me
The original review below captures my initial frustration, particularly with the slow pace of the romance. The story itself is decent, with no unusual shapeshifter elements, and it's generally lighthearted. However, the primary reason I read romance novels is for the romance – the sweetness, the tension, and the development of feelings. This book, however, seems to be labeled as a slow burn, but it's more like a tepid simmer. There have been kisses, but the main character's reluctance to accept her feelings despite being attracted to the male lead becomes frustrating, especially since it persists long past a reasonable point in the story.
I expected more than just occasional sparks. It's not that the writing isn't good; it's just that as a romance novel, the focus on developing the relationship feels lacking. I even double-checked the tags and genre, ensuring I wasn't misunderstanding it – it's comedy, fantasy, and romance. But as a romance novel, it feels more like a slice of life with a thin layer of romantic elements.
If the rating remains at 3/5 after 30 days, I might have to reconsider and put the book down.
There's this intriguing aspect where she has an irresistible scent to cats, but it hasn't been explained yet – perhaps she carries catnip? My speculation is that it's a reward from the cats she cared for in her past life, making them fond of her. However, I don't particularly like the trope where the main character's attractiveness is attributed to some special power; it's just a personal preference.
Their relationship is healthy and developing positively, with no toxic dynamics. I'm excited to see how it evolves further, as they seem like a cute pair.
The story tackles important issues, like the discrimination faced by shape-shifters, who are often treated as slaves. I appreciate how the protagonist, being from a modern background, maintains a sense of respect and fairness, unlike many other novels in this genre where the main character collects servants for their own gain.
The translation is generally good, though there are a few awkward phrases that could use a proofreader's touch. The translators have done a commendable job, and I'm grateful for their efforts. Overall, this seems like a solid story, especially for those who love cats. I'm eagerly anticipating the next chapters.
