Love it! The characters are interesting and realistic. This is not a generic Mary Sue romance. The main character and the female lead do NOT get along at the beginning, and the female lead seriously wants to kill him. The main character also acknowledges that the female lead's grievances are legitimate and actually feels sorry after realizing that she has human level intellect. Both of them love their children (cubs) and would do anything to protect them. It's refreshing to see the human countries come up with a realistic approach to dealing with powerful spiritually awakened animals that includes diplomatic negotiation instead of threats and brute force from the start.

Based on the trial read chapters, I hope this novel gets picked up. The main character is an entertaining villain with a lackadaisical personality. Even though he is a cold-blooded assassin, he still enjoys joking around and travels with a trusted comrade. The setting takes place in a futuristic space age where humans have come into contact with alien races. There are some clichés. The main character insists on joining a university and it sounds like there's some kind of virtual reality battle platform. However, the story is still very enjoyable.

As of this review, the novel is still in the Trial Read section. The beginning is well-written and shows a lot of promise. People who like stories where the main character is a villain should give this a try. The intrigue between sects is also quite good and should interest fans of politics/drama.
