Description
Jiang Que is a monster. He awakened in the abyss and was trapped in the abyss, surviving only by devouring human emotions. Humans, lazy and ungrateful. Their emotions were tasteless and unsatisfying. Jiang Que had been feeding on them for a whole eighteen years, successfully killing ten of his formerly eighteen tent**les. He finally grew furious. To preserve the health of his remaining eight tent**les, Jiang Que decided to annihilate humanity and find a new source of food. And so. Blizzards raged, the sky turned dark, with low-pressure storm clouds. Volcanoes erupted, spewing black smoke and lava, rendering the land barren. The earth cracked and all living things trembled. As natural disasters ravaged the world and humanity was on the verge of extinction- At that moment, a romance novel fell into the abyss. Jiang Que: Ahem! (*swallows it whole*) !!! (*Pupils dilate*) Such a beautiful love exists in the world! . Serious and stern, Shen Tazhi, the head of the Shen family, had a secret. He had been reborn. In his previous life, during the apocalypse and calamities, he was betrayed and abandoned, left destitute, and by chance, fell into the abyss. There was nothing in the abyss, except for a small creature with porcelain-white skin, black hair, and black eyes, tearfully cradling its dead tent**les, shedding tears. He encountered a monster. Shen Tazhi lowered his gaze, thinking so. The small creature looked up at him, curiosity overtaking its sadness, and with its remaining seven tent**les, it dragged him into its lair. The real-life equivalent of the King of Hell, Shen Tazhi, who had never told stories to anyone before: … “…What story do you want to hear?” . Reborn before the end of the world, Shen Tazhi only did one thing. He brought the written version of the romance novel he had crafted in his previous life back to the abyss. The small creature was still huddled, holding onto its delicate tent**les and crying. Shen Tazhi half-squatted down, soothingly saying: “Don’t cry, I’ll tell you a story, okay?” He lowered his head and gently kissed the small creature’s tentacle, his ears turning slightly red. “Tent**les… can also be nurtured. I’ll be here with you.” Jiang Que: !?! What a kind-hearted person QAQ!! To repay the other’s kindness, Jiang Que decided to express his affection in the most direct way possible. He revealed his thickest, most beautiful tentacle, covered in barbs: “Hello, nice to meet you! This is my reproductive tentacle. Can you bear my offspring with me?”

My Thoughts on Weak and Pitiful, but with Eighteen Tent**lese
Alright, let's dive into "Weak and Pitiful, but with Eighteen Tent**lese." With a title like that, you know you're in for something... unique. I went in expecting a wild ride, and well, I got one. The blend of comedy, fantasy, and shounen ai definitely sets it apart, and the human-nonhuman relationship aspect had me intrigued from the start.
First Impressions
The initial chapters definitely grabbed my attention. The concept of a "fragile yet strong" gong protagonist is a bit of a trope these days, and I was curious to see how this novel would handle it. The premise itself – time travel and tentacles – promised a lot of potential for both humor and drama. I was ready to see how these elements would come together.
What Works Well
The comedic elements are definitely a strong point. The author manages to balance the more mature themes with lighthearted moments, preventing the story from becoming too heavy. The supernatural elements are also well-integrated, creating a believable (within the context of the story, of course!) world where these fantastical relationships can thrive. The power dynamic between the two leads, despite the "weak" descriptor, is compelling, and the mystery surrounding their pasts definitely kept me turning the page (or scrolling, rather).
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall experience, I did find some aspects a bit lacking. The romance, while present, felt somewhat rushed. The male lead seemed to fall in love rather quickly, and I would have liked to see more development and conflict within their relationship. I also felt that the "fragile gong" trope wasn't fully explored. There were moments where I wished for more depth and vulnerability from the protagonist. I wanted to understand his internal struggles beyond just his physical limitations.
Final Verdict
"Weak and Pitiful, but with Eighteen Tent**lese" is a fun, albeit flawed, read. It's a good choice if you're looking for something lighthearted with a unique premise and don't mind a bit of a fast-paced romance. While it didn't completely blow me away, it definitely provided an entertaining escape. I'd recommend it with the caveat that you might want to temper your expectations for deep character development.
