Description
Jian Chi is a deep-sea mermaid with a tail as magnificent as flowing water and the sharpest claws. Invincible in the abyss, he transforms his tail into legs and retracts his claws to live among humans as the adopted son of a wealthy family, enjoying a lazy life. Until the holographic card game ‘Slaughter’ emerges… and he becomes a lazy fish in the game. ‘Slaughter’ is a brilliantly designed game, vast in scale, mirroring the abyss Jian Chi once inhabited. Abyssal monsters, humans, ghosts, elves, and beasts form a grand world. In a game where survival depends on combat and slaughter, Jian Chi leisurely sways his tail in a massive artificial ocean. He has money. And money talks. Majestic palaces rise from the wilderness, and various entertainment projects turn the area into a paradise. From then on, Jian Chi frequently finds abandoned, injured, mutilated, violent, weak, and helpless little ones around. They look at him with flattering yet cautious smiles, asking, ‘You seem powerful, can I stay with you?’ Wen Que emerges from the abyss, his long knife drenched in blood, exuding a menacing aura that no one dares to provoke. Until one day, covered in blood, he is disdainfully kicked by a young man and dragged into a castle.

My Thoughts on I, the Mermaid, Spend Money to Raise Kids
"I, the Mermaid, Spend Money to Raise Kids" immediately grabbed my attention with its quirky title and premise. A carefree protagonist, a virtual ocean, and suddenly, baby mermaids? I had to dive in.
First Impressions
Initially, I was a bit wary. The early chapters introduce a world where our MC casually drops thousands of dollars in a game and adopts a mermaid child with similar ease. It felt like anything could happen without any real explanation or logical grounding. I wondered if it was just going to be pure fluff, but I was intrigued enough to keep reading.
What Works Well
What surprised me most was how genuinely healing this novel turned out to be. The core appeal lies in the sheer adorableness of the cubs. They're not annoying or spoiled, which is a pleasant surprise in the cub-raising genre. Watching Jian Chi, the protagonist, go from one cub to a whole family of them is incredibly heartwarming.
The romance between Jian Chi and the male lead is also a highlight. Their relationship develops naturally, and their interactions are just plain cute. The supporting characters, friends, and family, add another layer of warmth and support to the story. The author has crafted a world where kindness and acceptance seem to be the norm, which is a refreshing change of pace. Even with some minor conflicts, nothing ever feels too serious, maintaining a lighthearted and enjoyable atmosphere.
Areas of Concern
While the novel excels at being a sweet, easy read, it's not without its flaws. The plotlines can feel a bit underdeveloped, with the focus heavily skewed towards romance and fluff. If you're looking for intricate world-building, complex characters, or high-stakes drama, you might be disappointed. And I did notice at least one inconsistency that's repeated throughout the story, which can get a bit irritating after a while.
Final Verdict
Despite its minor shortcomings, "I, the Mermaid, Spend Money to Raise Kids" is a delightful escape for readers seeking a heartwarming and low-stress story. It's a perfect palate cleanser between heavier reads. If you're a fan of cute cubs, sweet romance, and a generally positive vibe, I'd recommend giving this novel a try. Just don't go in expecting a masterpiece of plot and character development; instead, embrace the fluff and enjoy the ride.
