Description
Samuhun: Age 32. A snake shifter and an executive at Mirae Capital. Born to a snake shifter mother and an ordinary father, he is a half-shifter. Contrary to his cold exterior, he cherishes small animals, having devotedly cared for and tearfully bid farewell to five pet hamsters. One day, his heart is stolen by a squirrel that appears before him. Kang Garam: Age 21. A squirrel shifter and college student. While his true form is an adorable squirrel, he has a soft and handsome appearance. After losing his parents in an accident at a young age and then losing the grandmother who raised him, he resolves to avoid further separations. Amid this determination, he encounters a man who extends a warm hand. Kang Garam, a squirrel shifter who lost both his guardian and home in an instant. While evading loan sharks demanding repayment for a debt he never owed, he hides in a park in his squirrel form. There, he meets a suspiciously handsome man, Samuhun. Garam finds comfort in Samuhun’s kindness as the man brings him nuts and cranberries daily. Before he knows it, he’s on the path to becoming Samuhun’s pet squirrel. “Come to think of it… Is our squirrel male?” “Our squirrel, are you hungry?” “Are squirrels usually this smart?” Though Garam feels awkward being treated as a pet by Samuhun, who doesn’t realize he’s a shifter, he finds himself drawn to the man’s sweet gestures. Then one day, Garam discovers that Samuhun, who had been so kind to him, is actually an executive at the loan shark company that has been tormenting him.

My Thoughts on Even a Lonely Squirrel Has Its Burrow
"Even a Lonely Squirrel Has Its Burrow" is a completed original novel that I decided to check out, and I have to say, it's a mixed bag. The premise alone – a squirrel shifter dodging debt collectors by actually living as a squirrel – hooked me in, but the execution has some definite strengths and weaknesses.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are undeniably charming. I was immediately drawn into the MC's plight and the unusual way he meets the ML. The whole "lonely squirrel meets animal-loving CEO" trope is pretty unique. The first few chapters were a delight, and I was eager to see where the story would go.
What Works Well
The strongest aspect of this novel, in my opinion, is the relationship between the two leads. The lack of frustrating miscommunication is refreshing, and I appreciate how they communicate openly. Their dynamic is cute and sweet, with a healthy dose of mutual respect and admiration. I found myself genuinely rooting for them to get together. I also appreciated the author's tackling of shifter discrimination, even if it was only briefly explored.
Areas of Concern
While the romance is a major draw, I did find myself questioning some of the author's choices. The pacing can be a bit uneven. The author sometimes jumps between interesting plot points and random slice-of-life moments, which can disrupt the flow. The age gap between the characters also made me a little uncomfortable at times, especially with how the author describes the MC. Although he is supposed to be an adult, his reactions and mannerisms are often portrayed as childish. I also felt that the focus on the main villain was a bit excessive, taking away from potentially richer explorations of other aspects of the story and characters.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Even a Lonely Squirrel Has Its Burrow" is a decent read with a unique premise and a heartwarming romance. While it has its flaws, the strengths of the relationship between the leads and the overall cuteness factor make it an enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a fluffy shifter story with minimal miscommunication, this might be right up your alley. Just be aware of the pacing issues, the age gap, and the author's sometimes questionable character descriptions. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
