On a certain day, Yu Qingyu was walking down the street when an egg suddenly dropped down from the sky and hit his head. Since then, he has been bound to an animal counterattack system. He travels to thousands of worlds to change the fates of a variety of animals. A certain dragon god smiles: “Little rabbit, where are you running off to?” A panda breaks off some bamboo: “I’ll let you eat it. Don’t be sad!” The Snake King spits out its core: “I’ll never eat mice again, okay?” Yu Qingyu can’t understand. Why do all of his counterattack tasks end up with him being pressed down? Sure enough, the system is unreliable.

My Thoughts on Those Years When I Was an Animal
Alright, let's dive into "Those Years When I Was an Animal." This web novel is definitely a unique experience, and I can see why it has garnered a dedicated following. The premise alone – a protagonist reincarnating into different animals across various worlds – is enough to pique anyone's curiosity.
First Impressions
My initial reaction was a mix of amusement and intrigue. The idea of a "childish" and sometimes "dense" protagonist navigating these vastly different scenarios as various animals is quite fun. Plus, the comedy tag is definitely warranted; the egg-related death in the first arc is a memorable (and hilarious) start.
What Works Well
The episodic nature of the arcs is a major strength. Each arc feels like a self-contained story, allowing for a fresh experience with every reincarnation. The core concept of each arc is pretty unique, like the panda in a zoo or a horse in ancient China. I also appreciate the recurring theme of doting love interests. It seems the ML characters are consistently patient and caring, which adds a layer of sweetness to the often chaotic situations the MC finds themselves in. The cultivation elements in some arcs also add a nice touch of world-building, blending the supernatural with the animalistic.
Areas of Concern
While the variety is a selling point, the sheer number of arcs might be daunting for some readers. I can imagine that some people may lose interest with the formula. Additionally, the revenge plots in some arcs, like the panda arc, can get quite gruesome. Readers sensitive to such content should proceed with caution.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Those Years When I Was an Animal" is a fun and engaging read, especially if you enjoy comedy, shounen ai, and supernatural elements. The unique premise and episodic structure keep things fresh, while the doting love interests add a heartwarming touch. However, be prepared for some potentially dark themes and a commitment to a long series of arcs. I'd give it a solid 3.7 out of 5 – definitely worth checking out if the concept appeals to you!
