About My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute!


Aster is a talented mage who lives deep in the forest. Awkward and anti-social, he prefers poring over his potions to speaking with other people, and he’s at his happiest when he can conduct his strange magical experiments in peace.
Unfortunately for Aster, however, life isn’t that simple. Whilst working on a particularly potent potion, something peculiar happens. A black cat falls from Aster’s chimney, filling his home with soot.
In a moment of weakness, Aster decides to take the stray cat in. He’s always been more fond of animals than people, and having a catpanion hanging around the house might help brighten up his everyday life.
That’s what Aster thinks, at least…
Until he discovers the cute cat which fell down his chimney isn’t an ordinary cat at all. He is, instead, a young man called Blaise, who has been cursed to assume the form of a cat during the daytime.
Now, Aster has to try and help Blaise break this curious curse. If he doesn’t, Blaise will be stuck as a cat for all eternity, and Aster’s pride as a mage will be on the line. It’s just one simple curse, after all. How hard could it be to dispel it, really?
…The answer, as it turns out, is very.
This could just prove to be a cat-astrophe!

✦ AI summary

Players are divided on this visual novel. Those who enjoyed it praise the adorable art style, cute character designs, and wholesome, relaxing atmosphere that works well for a light-hearted story. However, critics point out significant pacing issues with excessive repetition and over-explanation of minor details that pad the runtime, a rushed romance with limited character development, and an unlikeable protagonist whose mistreatment of his love interest feels excessive rather than believable—though some appreciate the LGBT representation, the execution of the story itself feels juvenile and un

while i appreciate lgbt rep as a queer man myself, this storyline felt pretty juvenile? the romance felt rushed (they know each other for a week) with a rather cliche twist, characters are practically one-dimensional (with barely any believable growth as well), and it's padded way too much with fluff. seriously, i don't mean that last point lightly. these men would often reiterate the same things they've already said to each other in about 50 different ways or drag out their explanations for no reason other than to increase the word count. after about 10mins of reading those specific sections i got fed up n just spam clicked thru them until they were finally on a different topic. if you like a LOT of words of affirmation n very basic storytelling, then this is fine, i guess. i wasn't really into it though. there's def better content out there involving queer men imo

the story spends a lot of time over explaining a lot of random details that dont even matter making it feel kinda longer than it needed to be. the main character is also not very likeable and treats his love interest like a punching bag throughout a large portion of the story and i get that its supposed to play into their dynamic but its a bit overboard at times and i think the characters could have been written better. by the second chapter i felt like i was trudging through the plot and really only felt that the third and final chapter was a worthwhile read. overall it has its occasional moments (also the UI and artstyle is adorable) but i was personally pretty dissatisfied with this vn
