The Whole Family Are Villains, I’m the Group Pet

Xing Nuo has a head of fluffy, curly hair and is a well-behaved, adorable human cub, born into an ordinary human family. His father is gentle and beautiful, his eldest brother cold and composed, and his second brother is a chuunibyou rebel. He thought his family would always be this warm and ordinary. Until one day, he discovered the knife his father carried when he went out was stained with red blood. In the company run by his eldest brother, there were always mournful wails carried by gusts of eerie wind, and his chuunibyou second brother could actually punch and defeat ghosts with a single blow. There was also a new, transparent “other” member in the family, coaxing Xing Nuo to call him Daddy. Xing Nuo was scared, holding a small wooden sword, revealing his neat little rice teeth, shouting “Hya!”, tiptoeing on his little feet, poking and stabbing at the monster. **** In the infinite flow world, among the top ten ranked dungeon BOSSes, there are a few who are best not provoked: Shen Wen, a gentle yet crazy beautiful man, haunts luxurious and extravagant castles and manors. If you’re lucky, he’ll let you go after eating a meal he’s cooked; Shen Yan, the only supreme being in corporate dungeon scenarios, cold and ruthless. The vast majority of small and medium-sized bosses in the dungeons are employees of his company; Shen Baizhou, a high school student with silver-white hair, frequently roams various high school dungeons. If you meet him, you can only pray that he isn’t the final boss you need to defeat to clear the level. Shen Xing Nuo, a sickly little waste of a cub, is the group pet of the entire monster family. Until one day, the infinite flow world and the real world connect. Some people who returned from the infinite flow world after untold hardships saw Shen Xing Nuo’s family and were so shocked their pupils quaked. Who would have thought that several major villains from the infinite flow world were actually hiding in the real world, pretending to be ordinary people?!

## My Thoughts on The Whole Family Are Villains, I’m the Group Pet This novel, "The Whole Family Are Villains, I’m the Group Pet," was quite the experience! It's a blend of genres I wouldn't normally expect to see together – comedy, horror, shounen ai, and supernatural elements all swirling around a cute child protagonist. It definitely kept me on my toes. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the "group pet" aspect. Who doesn't love a story where a character is utterly adored? The premise of a child surrounded by a villainous family intrigued me, and I dove in hoping for a heartwarming yet slightly twisted tale. I wasn't disappointed! ### What Works Well The family dynamic is definitely the highlight. The interactions between the MC and his doting, if morally questionable, family are genuinely heartwarming and often hilarious. The author does a fantastic job of balancing the darker elements of the horror setting with the lightheartedness of the MC's daily life. Also, I was impressed by the plot twists and how well-planned out the story was, with each element seamlessly fitting into the story. I also appreciated the slow-burn nature of the romance. The shounen ai tag primarily revolves around the MC's father and another male character, adding another layer of depth to the family dynamic. The MC's innocence and child-like wonder made the instances in the horror world feel like a fantastical dream, which was a refreshing take on the genre. ### Areas of Concern The ending left me conflicted. The author's choice to reverse time felt a little unnecessary, as it seemed to diminish the impact of the events that transpired. It introduced some timeline inconsistencies that were hard to ignore. However, this didn't overshadow the overall enjoyment of the story. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers may find the ending controversial, particularly the decision to reverse time. This action seemingly negates the consequences of previous events, potentially undermining the emotional weight of the narrative. Furthermore, the revelation of the MC and his system's (Lu Qi) past-life connection and their shounen ai relationship, primarily explored in the extras, might not appeal to all readers. ### Final Verdict Despite the minor issues with the ending, "The Whole Family Are Villains, I’m the Group Pet" is a delightful read. If you're looking for a heartwarming story with a cute protagonist, a protective family, and a touch of horror and infinite flow, then this novel is for you. Just be aware that the MC spends a significant portion of the story as a child, and the romance is a slow burn. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try!
