I really like the part where the protagonist turns into a cub. I watch that part every time I rewatch it. I read it as a cub-raising article, and the author stops updating it every season. I don't care anymore. When the protagonist grows up and wins the national competition, I think it's over. Ps. The elders are like a bunch of big cats.
The male protagonist's personality is gentle and even a bit soft - referring to getting along with people, but he is more comfortable getting along with various animals. Danmei has CP and less emotional lines.
