3/5🌟

This is just a fun and silly little story. Very lighthearted and fluffy. The plot is also something you shouldn't take too seriously. Definitely not something you pick up if you're looking for a solid plot and great characterization but if you just want something quick and fun to pass the time, this is for you. I enjoyed my time while reading this but unfortunately, this is something that I would quickly forget. This is a kind of story that nothing sticks out, but I don't regret picking this up.

I liked the start, silly character vignettes and stupid misunderstandings are my jam.

A shameless cute glutton mc and an ml that over complicates things in his head is a very charming set up.
But any time the author tried in incorporate plot or world building I hated it. Once the mc and ml left the jungle of character moments and could communicate with each other, I knew it was a matter of time before I dropped it.
And sure enough.

It lost a lot of my goodwill by kicking off the greater conspiratorial plot with a giant victim blaming SA disaster.
The ml is currently being impersonated and slandered, the most damning part of which is a character who was assaulted by the impersonator so brutally they were permanently disfigured.
When it comes to light that the ml has a solid alibi- being in a charming comedy set up this entire time on a remote planet- any and all mention of the impersonator is dropped in favor of ridiculing the victim for falling for it.
They're still in a wheel chair, but the author feels it's extremely important to point out that they're not even that good looking, and the ml is so handsome that he surely wouldn't bother assaulting them when they could have anyone they wanted.
*gag*

And no I don't care if it turns out that the victim was in on the impersonation, because that isn't what the author thinks was most important to establish.
The narrative immediately swings to how sad and sympathetic and wronged the ml has been by these accusations (despite only witnessing about thirty seconds of scrutiny) and at the 40% mark, we have yet to return literally any concern on the assault that was on national television.

After that the story gains no points back.

The writing repeats over and over, ten times easily, that the mc looks underaged. To the point that the ml intentionally dresses the mc more maturely and encourages him to claim that he's actually juuuuust 18. WE know that the mc is over a hundred years old, and I'm not that stiff about fiction anyway. I just hate how scummy the ml is about this. He doesn't question it even for a moment, just hops right on grooming who he thinks is a child- even though this child saved his life.

EVEN THEN, I was reading. Victim blaming and under age creepiness are things I can muscle through if the reward is good enough.
But it wasn't.

The ml- again, after the mc saved his life with what is only understood to the ml as miraculous magical abilities- wants to send the mc to school because he can't read or write the language and baaaarely speaks it. But he doesn't want to send him to a school that would properly educate him on those things- because they would be resources for children and he doesn't want the mc to be acknowledged as underaged.
*gag*

So rather than hiring tutors and encouraging him to follow his dreams as repayment for all the mc has done for the ml, he lies to the mc and sends him to a homemaking university course for wealthy future socialites to train on being excellent brides.
For himself.
He states explicitly it's for himself.
To keep the mc away from competition and to teach him basic skills with an emphasis on pleasing husbands.

When the mc finds out IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS, that this was not in fact the art course he'd been promised and he was being shown anatomy specific to the ml and how to better understand the ml, he was upset and humiliated. He was the only one in the class to not know what was going on.
The ml is scum.
He's guilty about it too, the author knows this was shitty to do. We just blow by it really really fast because it's more important that they get together as quickly as possible.

Anyway at this point, I've most definitely thought about about this longer than the author did before publishing. I dropped it and I'm not coming back.

อ่านเรื่องนี้เวอร์ชั่นแปลภาษาอังกฤษ ซึ่งคนแปลแปลดีมาก
อ่านสบายมาก 😍 เห็นมีแปลภาษาไทยแล้ว ใช้ชื่อเรื่องว่า
"คู่มือการเลี้ยงดูศัตรูตามธรรมชาติ" ปกน่ารักมากๆ

ตัวเอกของเรื่องคื่อ Shu Shu (ฉบับภาษาไทยเขียน "ซูซู"
แต่ชินกับการอ่านว่าชูชูมากกว่า 😘) ชูชูเป็นแฮมสเตอร์ที่บำเพ็ญเพียร
จนสามารถเปลี่ยนร่างเป็นมนุษย์ได้ แต่ตอนแรกยังไม่สมบูรณ์
ยังมีหูกับหางที่เป็นแฮมสเตอร์อยู่ นักเขียนเขียนคาแร็คเตอร์ชูชูได้น่ารักมากกกก
ไม่รู้จะบรรยายความน่ารักชูชูยังไงได้หมด

ชูชูเป็นคาแร็คเตอร์ที่คิดบวก ขยัน ซื่อ ส่วนใหญ่คิดยังไงก็แสดงออกหมด
ชูชูไม่ใช่คนเก็บปัญหาไปคิดนานให้ปวดหัว เลยไม่ขี้งอน ไม่สร้างปัญหา

พระเอกของเรื่องชื่อ Edgar เป็นรัชทายาทอาณาจักรแห่งนึง
ครอบครัวไม่ได้ปกครองประเทศแล้ว แต่ร่ำรวยสุดๆ มีทั้งกองทัพ มีทั้งธุรกิจเพียบ
ประเด็นคือในอาณาจักรของเอ็ดการ์ จะแบ่งประชากรเป็น 2 แบบคือ Beastman
กับ Sub-Beastman แบบแรกจะมีสองร่าง เป็นคนก็ได้ เป็นสัตว์ก็ได้ สลับไปมาได้
แต่ถ้า Sub-Beastman จะเปลี่ยนร่างไม่ได้ หลักๆ จะเหมือนคน แต่จะมีลักษณะบางอย่าง
ของสัตว์ เช่น มีหูสัตว์โผล่ ตอนเอ็ดการ์เห็นชูชูตอนแรกเลยนึกว่าชูชูเป็น Sub-Beastman
แต่เปล่าค่ะ.. ชูชูมาจากอีกโลกนึง 😅

ตอนแรกคิดว่าจะอ่านเรื่องนี้ไม่จบ เพราะเอ็ดการ์มีอีกร่างเป็นงู 🤨 แถมอยู่ในร่างนี้บ่อยด้วย
แต่นักเขียนเก่งมาก บรรยายได้แบบทำให้ไม่กลัว ตอนแรกสงสารชูชู เดิมเป็นสัตว์ตระกูลหนู
ต้องกลัวงูอยู่แล้ว ชูชูกลัวเอ็ดการ์สุดๆ แต่ก็พยายามข่มความกลัว ปรับตัวไปทีละนิด
ยิ่งตอนหลังที่รักกันแล้ว ชูชูดูแลเอ็ดการ์แบบดีมากกกก แต่จริงๆ สองคนนี้เค้าดูแลกันและกัน
ชอบเอ็ดการ์ที่เป็นสามีที่รักชูชูในแบบที่เค้าเป็นจริงๆ ไม่คิดจะเปลี่ยนแปลง ทั้งๆ ที่ตัวเอง
อยู่ในตำแหน่งไฮมาก เป็นทีจับจ้องของคนทั้งอาณาจักร เอ็ดการ์ตามใจเมียแทบทุกอย่าง
ไม่หือ ไม่ทะเลาะ ได้แต่เงียบ แล้วก็พาเข้าห้อง 🤣🤣🤣

ฉากในเรื่องจะเป็นดาวเคราะห์ หลักๆ เลยก็ประมาณ 3 ดาว เรื่องราวก็เล่ายาวหลายสิบปีเลย
เรียกว่ามีพูดถึงตั้งแต่รุ่นพ่อแม่ของเอ็ดการ์ รุ่นเอ็ดการ์กับชูชู แล้วก็มีรุ่นลูกของชูชูนิดหน่อย
ชอบลูกของชูชูมาก โดยเฉพาะเจ้าคนโตเสี่ยวเป่า เป็นพี่ชายที่น่ารักมาก ยอมน้อง

สรุป อ่านแล้วเพลินมาก รักคาแร็คเตอร์ชูชูมาก เค้าเป็นแฮมสเตอร์ที่ซื่อก็จริง
แต่ขยันมากๆ รู้จักพัฒนาตัวเอง ทั้งเก่งทั้งน่ารัก ใครยังไม่ได้อ่าน แนะนำเลยค่ะ 😚

pros: nice and likeable mcs and side characters, has some really funny moments, overall pretty fluffy and lighthearted, the mpreg part is done surprisingly well and didn’t make me very uncomfortable (which is rare as someone who’s scared shitless of pregnancy and doesn’t like kids even in stories), overall plot line was fine, the end of the main story was good, didn’t read all the extras but they were also cute!, s*x with consent and overall both parties wanting it which should be the bare minimum but is actually pretty rare to see in novels like this?? so that was good

cons: mpreg and kind of omegaverse dynamics with the beastmen and sub-beastmen which surprised me a bit (didn’t really expect it, but it was fine after all), the western names take a while to get used to (bc they’re usually especially weird ones too, see edgar, gary, fred lol), the snakephobia got resolved halfway through as means to beat the lightning tribulation but then later on resurfaced and wasn’t much better for no reason??

Cute, easy, fun, and simple read. Includes, mpreg, cultivation, beastmen, egg laying, throne ascension, hamster to doctor pipeline, idk so much more stuff I can't even name it all.
I really like snakes they're very awesome. The first section while in Gass Planet is my fav bc it's cute.
The names Edgar, Fred, and Gary took me out. Why those names? Why did you do this to me? Too hilarious

My favorite chapter is 63.

My favorite quotes:
“He really didn't expect that as a little hamster, he actually had a chance to lift off and fly into space!"
“As long as they could sleep in the same bed, he didn't mind sleeping with a hamster.”
“Perhaps it was not a bad thing to die in an explosion. At least, it was brilliant enough.”

The fact that this is the last book I need to fulfill my yearly goal is kind of funny

น่าร้าก มีความแปลกใหม่ น้องแฮมน้อยใส่กระโปรงหญ้าวิ่งเก็บสะสมอาหารคนเดียวภายในป่า มีพี่งูใหญ่คอยคุ้มครองป้องกันอยู่ห่างๆ เพราะว่าให้น้องเห็นไม่ได้ น้องกลัวตัวแข็งแกล้งตาย แบบกลัวมากๆ จริงๆ พี่งูใจดีแอบหาอาหารมาวางไว้ให้ น้องก็ทำอาหารแล้วแบ่งคืนวางไว้หน้าถ้ำ ส่งกันไปกันมา น้องนึกว่ามนุษย์จิตใจดีคอยดูแล วันนึงถึงความแตกว่ามนุษย์จิตใจดีคืองูใหญ่... กว่าจะหายกลัวเป็นเพื่อนกัน ความสัมพันธ์พัฒนาไปทีละนิด อ่านแล้วอมยิ้มในความน่ารัก เพลินๆ ผ่อนคลาย ไม่เครียดอะไรมาก ที่จริงเราชอบเล่มแรกตอนอยู่ป่าที่สุดละ เล่มสองเล่มสามก็เข้าเมืองแล้ว พระเอกคืนสู่ฐานะรัชทายาท ก็อ่านได้เพลินๆ สนุกดีค่ะ
เล่มแรกให้ห้าดาว เล่มสองสามให้สี่ดาวค่ะ

Oh, this is a wonderful read. I have read it more than once, but i have not properly finished it yet.
I best get to rereading it.
It has everything to love in a story; cuteness, drama, comedy, relationships, cute hamsters, love and lovely couples being lovey dovey together.

The hamster shushu is my fave character and his prince snake husband too.
Of course, their children and grandchildren are wonderful too.
Its worth the read and reread.

Qué linda novela 😻😻😻

Me encantó mucho leer la historia de el hamster ShuShu y su enemigo natural/ esposo, Edgar, la Gran Serpiente 🤣🤣.

Tiene extras para llenar el corazón. Sin embargo, no hay suficientes extras para llenar mi alma.

Leer sobre Gary me encantó. Su extra es súper completo y muy lindo. Sobre Fred, me faltó 🥹🥹 necesitaba más jajajaja.

Muchas gracias autora por darnos esos extras para darnos vida y para tener ganas de vivirla 💐✨

It's short read and the plot is simple but I really couldn't stop reading it's continuously because something or other kept happening, so it became more interesting... :D

I started thinking I'll slowly read and also study this side by side but somehow I managed to read this in one go and ignoring other novels and my studies fml

This one is YES YES YES! YES to the fluffiness! YES to little hamster with his snake! YES to their baby bun! So freaking cute 🥰

And quite funny and absurd also. MC thought his son as a tumor in his tummy and thought he having diarrhoea when he actually giving birth like 🤣🤣🤣

4.5!! I like it hehe but i think chapter 130 is unnecessary and should just stop at the 'gay little prince' arc. But i wouldn't say no to it. I dont want this story to end but im glad it end where it should be :))

3.5⭐

Gracias a "Little Mushroom" cuando esta novela me dijo "él era un hámster, pero ahora es la pareja del otro protagonista" no me sorprendí y dije solo "Oh". LOL.

En fin, no la recomiendo especialmente aunque la haya disfrutado.


Aunque diré que aquí creemos en la Supremacía Shu Shu.

Also I find so funny that Gary had a whole arc in the extras and Fred had like 2 chapters. Poor soul, not even the author liked him that much.

This novel is just pure cute and with a nice plot. I love the way MC is. Shu Shu is just so cute, and Edgar is the man we all want. If you expect something like power couple but in a soft and cute way, this pair is. And the way author narrated shu shu thoughts are just so fun to read.

Fue una historia tranquila y bonita, sin muchas complicaciones y disfrutable. Me gustó mucho que desarrollara las historias de sus hijos y les diera una linda familia a todos.
Aunque me quedé esperando que le dieran una pareja a Synthia, que era de lo qué más quería ver pipipi

I love the story and the misunderstanding about tumor and diarrhea got me laughing my ass off. Side story felt kinda rushed but nonetheless it is still worth the read.

DNF'ed @ 35%.

I just really didn't care anymore and saw no reason to push myself further.
It started off well but somewhere along the line I felt like I was reading a different book that I didn't sign up for and didn't care about. Maybe I would have pushed on if there was any whiff of interesting plot development, sadly all that awaited me were shopping trips and uni classes.

If you're into characters who miscommunicate, are blind to all that goes on around them but are still beloved (and I do mean beloved) by everyone they meet for no other reason than their existence itself then this is the novel for you!

Switched from 4 -> 5 stars. First time reading it through I liked but didn't think it was a masterpiece. BUT I found myself coming back to this book over and over again. So clearly the author did SOMETHING right since I've reread it multiple times. I think the plot and the characters are just so comforting and cute and fun that I'm just drawn into the book.

-- original review below --

Did not expect to enjoy a book about animal/human spectrum people much since I've always felt the trope to be a bit gimmicky but surprisingly enjoyed it a lot 😊 I think the beginning was particularly funny and I really like the easy going personality of the mc, and honestly wanted to read through the lives of their children and their children and their children... 😂😅 Main downside I think was the very classic chinese trope-y face slapping..like sometimes it felt forced. But definitely binged this one in two days 😊

I have to say that I really enjoyed this book!!!

It was extremely cute, fluffy and funny. While the translation is said to be MTL, I found that reading it was pretty smooth and understandable.

A funny thing is that the extras is almost 1/3 of the book? But it was sooooooo fluffy and sweet!!! I loved the extras so much.

There are some bits of face-slapping and angst (not too much), almost non-existent smut (just hints). It was really nice to read .


4/5 may read again, especially the extras.
