Life with a Black Cat After Our Breakup

So far, it seems to be a single female character named Xiaoguang (Xuanmao). I haven't noticed any romance yet; it's mostly slice-of-life (the daily lives of college students). It's a good read to pass the time when you're looking for something to read. That's all, respect!

I've read up to chapter four. The first three chapters are usually enough to gauge the overall quality of a book. This is a rare find among Tomato's works—a slice-of-life story. So far, it seems to follow Tomato's traditional trope: the ex-girlfriend dumps the male lead as a substitute, then suffers a tumultuous chase only to be snatched away by the female lead [petrified].

It's a pretty good catgirl. Before I even clicked in, I thought it would be a catgirl story. But as I watched, I thought it was just a simple cat as a pet. The catgirl aspect is fine, but I was worried that someone might have an affair, which would be unfair to the cat [Note]. That's when I started to find it hard to watch.

It's pretty good, and so far there don't seem to be any major flaws. The only thing I don't quite like is the male lead smoking; I personally absolutely hate the smell of smoke. It seems this is currently developing towards a supernatural or low-to-medium martial arts theme.

Speaking of black cats, I encountered one when I was a sophomore in college. One night, a black cat rubbed against me while I was sleeping, and then I woke up. I found it strange, and since my dorm was on the third floor, I assumed it belonged to someone and let it out. Looking back, I kind of regret it 🤦 The cat was very beautiful, with lovely pure black eyes.

It's purely about campus life, and it's pretty good. There aren't any major flaws, and it doesn't involve going back to your ex-girlfriend. It's a decent read to pass the time when you're looking for something to read.

So where is the catgirl? I've read almost fifty chapters and still haven't seen the female lead, the catgirl. Your daily routine? Is it just navigating relationships with various beautiful women? You can't even feel the sweetness of romance? Perhaps it's because I, a corporate slave, can no longer recapture the beauty of my youth. That's all

It's too unfair. There aren't many satisfying moments. The plot relies entirely on coincidences. The entire plot is added to drive the story forward.

This book truly gave me a long-lost feeling that the author was simply enjoying the process of writing—relaxed, carefree, and comfortable. I was also simply enjoying the process of reading. For this reason alone, it deserves a five-star rating.

The beginning is practically devoid of romance, just slice-of-life scenes, which is alright to read, though perhaps a bit dry. Judging from the title, I thought the cat would be the main character, but even after chapter 50, I still haven't realized it. It's okay to read occasionally.
