Ye Ze was a powerful psychic standing at the pinnacle of the apocalypse, with the assistance of a magical interdimensional trading device by his side. However, even in these dire times, not even the overlords could escape death. He thought his life would come to an end, but the trading device unexpectedly transported him to a primitive world, where a solitary snake-person saved him and took him into a cave.
The little snake-person lacked sharp claws and tough scales but possessed a kind heart and nimble hands. Even when angry, they were soft and lovable.
Originally, Ye Ze intended to leave once he understood the environment. However, the more he looked, the more he liked the little snake-person. So he decided to keep the little one in his pocket, nurture them, and make them even cuter than they already were!
A year later, the little snake-person, holding their tiny horns on their head, ran over in tears and asked, “Um, Ye Zi, am I sick and going to die?” QAQ
Turns out, what Ye Ze was nurturing wasn’t a little snake-person but a small dragon-person, a creature from legends.
Prepare for a cross-dimensional adventure with a protagonist who has god-like abilities, and a diligent, cute, and obedient little dragon-person as the receiver of his affections.
So far, I've stopped at Chapter 43, and overall, it's quite enjoyable. The lack of significant conflicts is a plus. I appreciate how the main character is trying to help the ML become more assertive and self-aware. Some might say the MC is jealous, but it's not overly dramatic – he actually encourages ML to socialize, and the jealousy is more of a cute, subtle dynamic.
The book earns three stars from me because it's just average. It has its charm, but it doesn't stand out among the many sweet and fluffy slice-of-life novels that have captivated readers more effectively. If you're in a lull and looking for a mindless read, it could pass the time rather pleasantly, so give it a try if that's your current situation.
ML's treatment by M further reinforced my belief that he was young. Initially, M seemed to treat ML with a mix of pity and affection, akin to a pet. But then, it was revealed that they introduced each other as a couple to a group, suggesting M's genuine interest in ML's childlike behavior.
It seems my aversion to "innocent" characters, even if not children, played a role in my perception. Perhaps the "romance" aspect of the story could have been toned down, and it would have更适合 as a parenting tale without the perceived immaturity. The lack of a clear "seme" protagonist tag might also contribute to this disconnect.
In summary, I believe the author should have reconsidered the romance element and focused more on the parenting dynamic between ML and M.
1. The protagonist is powerful, eventually becoming stronger, but the world's power system remains unclear, leaving us unsure about the specifics of their growth.
2. The main love interest (ML) is portrayed as adorable, and the narrative constantly emphasizes their cuteness, sometimes to an excessive extent, accounting for roughly 60% of the book. Additionally, the protagonist frequently experiences jealousy over ML's actions, even minor ones.
3. The MC introduces advanced technology far beyond the primitive setting, but there are no consequences for the MC or any explanation of how these advancements work, leaving readers unimpressed by the implications.
4. There's a lack of clarity about the primitive world's technology. Initially, we see basic tribal activities, but then suddenly, space stones appear, without details on their origin, capabilities, or differences from Earth materials.
5. The mystery surrounding ML's past isn't as intriguing as it could be; the plot progression is predictable.
6. The climax, if you can call it that, is underwhelming – a simple defeat involving vines against the villains.
In summary, this is a light-hearted, illogical novel that indulges in sweetness and occasional food-related elements for food enthusiasts. It's an okay read, but not particularly deep or complex.
