I will start by saying that I cannot in good faith say that this story is good, which really sucks because the author at the very least seems like a decent person, or at the very least they conduct themselves in the comments very respectfully. That said I'm of mind that reviews should be honest for the sake of those looking for a good story to read and so the author knows where they can improve. So I will try to be as fair as I can with this one. 

The beginning chapters of this story are, in my opinion, very enjoyable and a testament to what could have been. Although it suffered from an overused pet peeve of mine (The protagonist raging at their system completely unprompted), I could mostly put that aside and enjoy the ride... At least up until the second evolution. After that I think the story takes a very massive and noticeable nose dive in quality. In fact I think I can confidently say all of the problems I have with this story only start after the second evolution. All. Of. Them. It's like none of these issues existed prior to that turning point. 

First problem I have is It's very hard to understand what's happening in this story. Aside from the protagonist, characters don't "really" have names nor are they described in any meaningful way. For most of the early chapters they are simply referred to as he/she, him/her, boy/girl or some other arbitrary descriptor like color, element or a title. It makes it very hard to know who is talking, what they look like, sometimes what gender they are, etc. It doesn't help that the pov changes around very rapidly with many more than necessary reaction sections to what the protagonist or someone else is doing. And those reactions only serve to highlight the worst point of this story. Again more on that later.

That's another thing. For all that she might be the protagonist, Aiko is rarely every the focus of the pov once other characters are introduced. Aiko, up until chapter 70, can't talk. Which I don't think is a bad thing because one of the positives I have to say about this story is that she's pretty expressive despite her muteness. That said, once other characters show up, she can go entire chapters with only maybe a sentence or two of her thought process which usually boils down to eating or sleeping. Which kind of makes sense given that she's a cub and all (more on that and why I believe that was the single worst decision the author made later), but it makes for a very passive protagonist. One usually just having things happen to her and not doing things for herself. In some ways I'd say it invalidates the point of the system and it makes things very incoherent at times, speaking of which...

Another major flaw of this story is scene transition. One minute a character is doing one thing, then with barely a sentence in between they are suddenly somewhere completely different doing something completely unrelated with an undetermined amount of time passing between. Luckily the story itself is actually written well enough that you'll be able to notice eventually but that doesn't really excuse it happening in the first place. 

Now on to the characters. I touched on it earlier but I think one of the biggest flaws in this story are the characters or more specifically the personality of the characters. Or even more specifically the lack thereof. Most characters in this story are very shallow, including Aiko, the protagonist. I will admit I personally find Aiko's lack of true character to actually be a positive for her. Kind of gives off an airhead vibe when it isn't actively hindering the story (will come back to that) and really sells how young she actually is since she really shouldn't have firm opinions on many things around her. Especially if it isn't concerning her basic needs of sleep, eating, shelter and comfort. That and I also find her antics cute for the most part. That, in my opinion, if one of the greatest positives of this story. Aiko, though lacking in many departments, is still a very cute character.

The other characters on the other hand, are a problem. Most unnamed characters and heck even the named ones can be boiled down to a single word. Horny. Aiko is pretty much the only character in the story that isn't constantly horny and referencing s*x or rape or anything adjacent with every word she says and has any motivation besides having s*x. I suppose her first and primary companion also has other things on her mind but that's besides the point. Everything in this story that isn't the system is about s*x. It's very annoying after a while. I've read many smut and wish fulfillment stories that follow a similar premise, but the problem here is none of it is the s*xy kind. Everyone in this story comes of super f**king creepy. If I had to describe the characters in this story, the easiest way to imagine them collectively is all the worst character traits of Mineta from my hero academia. 

If you've actually followed along until now you probably understand one of the reasons they come off creepy even if it's mostly just because it's poorly executed. Yes, the reason they come off as creepy is because almost every single character in this story expresses some desire to have s*x with Aiko. 

Aiko, the not even a year old fox cub/toddler that can't even properly communicate with them! 

Many character very explicitly express their desire to groom her into their perfect wife/mate/slut. As I said earlier, I believe making Aiko a club was the single greatest flaw of this story. This type of setting can be done well, but when it's an actual infant they are pining after instead of someone of nebulous age that is still very clearly of age, it comes off as outright disgusting at some parts. It doesn't matter that a few other characters also treat it as disgusting. It just shouldn't be a thing in the first place. It doesn't help that as previously mentioned, this is pretty much the case for almost every single character that has a speaking role in this story. If it were one or two that'd be different but it's damn near ALL. OF. THEM! Like come on! It's weird. 

The final point is one I find more sad than anything else. It's still a major flaw but it's one I can understand to some degree. The author unfortunately very clearly has a lot of ideas about this story. The reason that's a problem is that they also unfortunately have the desire to shoehorn in almost every single one of them despite what previous worldbuilding and their own comments would suggest otherwise. The author unfortunately contradicts themselves very often, be it in the story or in the comments. One I remember well from early on is where a character was surprised that Aiko moved to stay in her blind spot. She also says this while staring directly at Aiko in surprise and commenting on her movements and expressions. It's hardly a blind spot if they can still see her. Another off the top of my head was where in the comments the author says one of her resources does not regenerate overtime only to immediately contradict that in the next chapter when Aiko says that exact resource replenishes after a few hours. There are a LOT more than that but at this point I'm just kind of worn out with it all.

It's a mess. This whole story can be summed up as a mess really. The system barely makes sense at times. The mechanics of it are flawed or don't matter. It suddenly goes from a typical AI like system to apparently actually having a person actively controlling it and even they can be messed with by someone else who also has control of the system. The author at times just adds things without truly understanding the implications of their decisions. This leads to Aiko coming off as if she isn't making full use of the system or isn't properly thinking despite showing that she is capable of doing so and also has the stats that says it should be easy for her to figure out. Explanations for things are either nonexistent or in info dump form and usually about something that didn't actually need explaining. It all just feels like wasted potential. Too many ideas but no proper execution. 

There's a lot more I could say about this story but pretty much none of it is good so I don't want to keep harping on it. This story as is, is not for anyone that actually puts thought into what they are reading. If you can turn your brain off and focus only on the non creepy fluff parts with the protagonist and her closer companions then at the very least I will say this story is readable. Despite the poor experience I did make it all the way until chapter 70. I wouldn't do that if the experience was completely awful, but I just can't go any further for now. I do believe the story might have gotten better past the point I stopped at but unfortunately I won't be finding out for myself anytime soon.

The author seems quite a wholesome person, so while I do feel bad about what I'm about to write it also doesn't make sense for the absolute lack of negative but informative reviews this work has.

I feel like everyone, me included, is so starved for original content that we simply chose to ignore how an absolute mess of a novel this is.

You can rarely ever know who's speaking, thinking or doing any kind of action whatsoever and that includes the narrator.

While I do understand the author isn't a native english speaker and that they do give this information in the novel description, I found that was not even the problem. The grammar itself is fine, the words themselves are written correctly, the phrasing could do a little work but it's just fine for a web novel. 

Now, the problem is, the gender is constantly going back and forth, barely anyone is named which makes it even worse to know. There's barely any descriptions about anything AT ALL. After 39 long, long chapters, I still don't know the style of the buildings, places, villages or cities that they visit AND I don't know how anyone besides the two main characters look like. So for example right now they just arrived at a fox village, we don't know if they are all full animal, humanoid with animal characteristics. And that happened in every. Single. Location. with multiple people in it.

I've seen other comments trying to help the author fix this problem, more specifically, the fact that they keep assuming that all readers are inside their head, knowing exactly what they are thinking while they write the scenes. We don't. It's your job as the author, to paint the picture of your imagination so that we readers can do the same when reading it.

But here, we never know what is going on, the scene transition is inexistent. One paragraph the MC and the unnamed "Queen" are in a clearing with her teaching something and then BAM, same paragraph they are in a totally different place doing something completely different, sometimes it's not even them but other unknown side characters. And that is just one example, this happens mutiple times every almost every chapter so far.

Also, I get that this is a xianxia setting and some cliches are recurring but do be warned that basically every sapient entity is rapey scum besides the main cast, seriously. No exceptions.

The novel tries to sell itself appealing to the 'fluffy enjoyers' and I suppose it works? According to the reviews and comments in the chapters at least, maybe it's just me being an ass. It's just... again, 39 long chapters, the MAIN CHARACTER hasn't said a single word to anyone, literally. "She" is the only sapient beast that cannot talk, so "she" is basically carried every and which way while we wait so someone feeds "her" all the way to "her" evolution where "she" will get nerfed basically zero strenght in human form, because... who knows.

The quoted pronouns are because we still don't really know how the MC identifies themself. Apparently they were 'placed' in a female body of a fox and they were male before dying, but so far there was zero dysphoria or questioning by their part about this and according to a comment by the author this won't really be touched even after they get their female human body so yeah, be aware of that.

Finalizing my review, the story did look like it could be fun, if I didn't have to keep re-reading almost every paragraph 3-4 times to understand what is going on.

You'll see multiple comments asking about things like this and sure, the author will explain it but they are all things that should be in the chapter. That's not to mention how the author keeps repeating "we'll find out later" or something similar for things that are happening right now.

Nice. Funny and cute MC. A tsundere possible love interest.

A good fun story with an OP floof MC, that loves floof, and shinies. If you want a fun story this is it.

However the vocabulary and grammar of the story can be quite weak at times, due to the author's status as a non native english speaker. Which is why I am giving the story a 4 stars instead of 5.

I've been loving this book so far in its journey. If you are interested in a slightly serious story with a healthy dose of fluff I'd suggest giving it a go. 

Compared to other cultivation novels I'd say it is the best paced one I've read so far. Also the MC is afraid to get he little paws bloody so that is also a plus.

For those on the edge after chapter 15 is a good spot to tell if you like it or not. It gives a good representation of what type the MC is and how others will mostly interact with her.

A great series so far. I tend to not read "new/ low chapter" series, as they can get abandoned easily. However this one caught my eye, I decided "why not" and read a few chapters.

I'm glad I did. It's a great start to the story and I can see the author is dedicated to it. 

As for the story itself It reminds me a little of the "soul land" series. Mainly with the beasts being hunted, enslaved or killed. 

It's refreshing to see a non human story where everyone is not just bff's and get along.

The MC can seem a little stupid and alloof at start, but it makes sense considering they are a cub. I look forward to seeing them grow, and stun even more people.

There is no s*xy times yet, but I'm sure it will come in due time.

I have only read one other "system" story so I can't say if it's better or worse than others. I do like that the system is not just some OP AI, and has it's own faults.

Overall a great read. I'm sure in no time this will be a five hundred chapter long epic tale.
