3.5 Fluffy without much substance, but amused me nonetheless. Many parts weren't fleshed out enough and happened suddenly, some characters and storylines are forgotten.MC- I liked him, he is very much OP, but I like that he wasn't completely niave and it felt like he actually loved ML. So many of these types of novels (animal cultivation) the MC's never seem to actually love the ML. His personality is the typical playful type which was fun at times. I did want more from him at times.ML -the is cute to begin with, he is cold but awkward. I did get tired of his possessiveness towards the end, but it is a beastman novel so I get it and it didn't go too overboard.The romance was kind of there? The ML falls first and was shown even if it was fast, the MC, however, just randomly all of sudden likes ML. Many things in this novel happen suddenly, like love and deaths.The side characters were fun. Probably the first novel I wish the side characters were more fleshed out. The other 2 couples amused me.The villian was meh, the author didn't flesh her out enough. She was supposed to be a beautiful, deep scheming femme fatale, but came across as 1 deminsional and s*upid.My biggest irk wasSpoiler
the fact that the MC relied on his miracle liquid too much. What happens when MC isn't around anymore, will the beastman go back to energy explosions and painful dialysis? I was waiting for him to introduce cultivation so that wouldn't be an issue anymore, but it ends with everyone learning how to make high purity energy shots....I really hate when stories don't plan for the future, seems like a big hole. Also let's not mention how everyone was okay with drinking the snail slime 🤣
[collapse]All in all not a bad read, could have been so much better though. The translation is alright, give an A for effort. I MTL'd most of it, the site I read on did not match up with the translated chapters, not sure why or how it's off.EDIT: Many reviews said to read "A Guide To Raising Your Natural Enemy" that it was made first and better. I absolutely did not like A Guide To, so take that as you will.
