A Record of Encounters with Otherworldly Races

Please update soon!

Actually, I'd really like William to be a little cuter and do some more girlish things, that would be even better. #(Cute)

It's definitely detailed and beautiful, but the pacing is a bit slow 😡

Promise me, author, the ending won't be a bad end, okay? #(Crying)

Does the author have a group chat? (Hao Kan)

Having read cross-dressing novels for 10 years, I have many feelings. Among countless works, this one can be considered one of the top ones. This book is mainly appealing for its two tags: crossdressing and the fact that the protagonist is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. However, the second tag is quite common and doesn't offer anything new. I mainly want to comment on the first tag. In my opinion, the most appealing and plot-driving conflicts surrounding the "crossdressing" tag are primarily twofold. The first is the conflict between appearance and gender. The most basic is the shame of crossdressing and the surprise of others discovering the gender. However, this is only enjoyable at first glance and cannot sustain an entire novel. A more sophisticated approach is the contrast in personality/character. The most charismatic crossdressing protagonist possesses both feminine gentleness, elegance, and cuteness, and masculine resilience and decisiveness. This is something most novels fail to achieve. The second is the conflict of identity deception. Examples include assuming a sister's place in a marriage, attending an all-girls school, or joining an idol group. This often serves as the driving force behind the overall story. Beyond this, the most unique and compelling are those that use this to advance the romantic relationship. As the romance blossoms, the woman's shame and guilt about entering a forbidden love due to deception, and the man's reluctance to disrupt the present moment and his fear of exposure, are the most satisfying elements of this type of novel. This is achieved by very few, with recent works being the most representative example. This novel not only excels in both aspects, but more importantly, it possesses a high level of essence in both. William's concern for his roommate, his compassion for the lower classes, his decisiveness in killing, and his willingness to protect those around him perfectly exemplify the first point: personal charisma. His relationship with his roommate, especially in chapter 190, beautifully demonstrates the second point. Novels that effectively showcase both of these aspects are truly rare. However, there are still some shortcomings. Overall, the emotions seem somewhat bland. Perhaps William's emotional fluctuations are too small, or perhaps the descriptions of the four roommates' happy daily life are insufficient. This is even more true for Fafnir's romantic storyline. Perhaps due to the plot, there are too few interactions with Fafnir. While ordinary interactions can develop into deep feelings, in a novel, these need to be shown through a series of events. This makes Fafnir's feelings for William feel somewhat abrupt, unlike the more genuine feelings of the other two. Another issue is the narrative pacing, which could be more balanced. Perhaps the author referenced the "invincible protagonist plus ensemble cast" formula, but here, a crucial element is the cross-dressing character; the protagonist's relationship should be the focus. Furthermore, judging from the synopsis and the first half of the plot, the most engaging part is the story of William and his roommates. In this light, the 50-plus chapters during the winter break feel somewhat lengthy, and William's cross-dressing traits aren't well explored; instead, it falls into the trap of slapstick humor and backstabbing. In a time when the "cross-dressing" label is fading and effeminate men and mindless cross-dressing novels are the only remaining options, it's truly remarkable to find a novel still being updated. The plot has already unfolded, and I hope the author can maintain a firm grasp on this grand world-building. I also sincerely hope the author won't be impatient and will give this novel a perfect ending in their lifetime. #(Love you!)

Were the previous chapters reset? #(Question mark)

The plot is coherent and tightly woven, with relatively sound logic, well-developed character relationships and detailed descriptions, rich setting, and captivating storyline. It's a rare masterpiece among current crossdressing novels. Looking forward to the next installment! #(Laughs)

I've read about 50% of the book so far, and I can see a lot of witch-related settings from the previous work. It feels like seeing an old friend. It's very well written. #(Cute)
