    ✨A Must-Read Novel in Another World Without a Romance | "A Veterinarian's Adventures in Another World with Cats and Dogs" Recommendation: If you're tired of other world novels where the female protagonist relies solely on brute force to level up, don't miss this story of strategic combat in another world! Li Xiaotong, a 27-year-old veterinary medicine graduate, is an ordinary person studying hard for her exams when a thunderstorm drags her into the perilous Seventeenfold Illusionary Domain through a dark blue-green rift. A black cat, a white dog, and a tan dog—three stray pets—are her only companions in this strange world. A secret implantation causes the wing bone of the Azure Mist Beast to slumber within the flesh of her right hand, bringing with it an uncontrollable mutation of her arm and the deadly consequence of being constantly reclaimed by the original beast. There are few visceral fights here. The female protagonist doesn't rely on brute force to win; instead, she uses her veterinary knowledge to see through the weaknesses and ailments of the beasts, observes the rules of the illusory world, and uses manipulation and scheming to survive in illusions and beast traps.
