Fuckin love the story. I read the previous one but this is so much better. AAAAAAA+++++++
Gave it 5 stars. Glad to see you expanding on the original story! A sequel would be welcomed.

hrmm update to my comment from earlier
this is another cat/Bastet story and you made it an "isekai" too....
the first version had more of an original feel (besides, isekai is so overrated now)
"isekai (Japanese: 異世界, translates to "other world" or "otherworld") is a Japanese genre of portal fantasy and science fiction. It ... revolves around a person or people who are transported to and must survive in another world, such as a fantasy world, a virtual world, another planet, or a parallel universe..." from wikipedia
It feels like you sacrificed something unusual that might have been harder to work with, and replaced it with the easy, now completely worn out, solution (dimension hopping).
why do i say the easy way out? when you put something in another world you don't have to worry about connections and infelicities (which makes writing easier... or look for why isekai are increasingly banned in writing contests)
I feel the first installation had more promise and you could have done something different then another "margay"
Both stories were similarly well crafted although I agree with Richard and Diecast1 that the expanded story is richer with greater development over a wide range of characters.
It's nice that you finally continued the story. Didn't expect where it went but I enjoyed it. However it badly needs an editor. It jumped from third to first person and back several times, a Sabine popped up at one point where I assume it meant to be Sable, and at another point Kevin became Stan. There's a few other things as well.
I loved this but I want a second part to see how everything turns out in the long run.
Glad you got back to this story. It was one of the first I read of yours seller ago. It got me worried when it turned out the first part was a dream but enjoyed the reality shift and how it turned out. Please continue the story as you have plenty more to write about Kevin and his kitties especially with the introduction with Mary and the mention about the other God when he first got Lucy.
Great story - loved it.
Many thanks.
Basically remember the original but this is way better though...
I've been reading your stories since you wrote under the name AverageJoe, and have enjoyed every story you've posted; you are a wonderful storyteller. That said, you are in dire need of an editor for your stories. I'd be willing to help out... just send me a message through my profile with your e-mail if you're interested. If not from me, please do find some form of editing assistance somewhere. Your stories could be among the highest rated on the site, moreso than they already are, if only they were effectively proofread and edited.
FYI - I screenshot homophobic comments and laugh at them with my friends
Awesome read, loved it from start to finish and am only sad it ended. Still a huge fan, can’t wait to see what you write next.
Was so happy to see this story. I’m a huge fan of the original and really wanted the rest of the story. This is so good. Thank you for writing it
Oh my goodness. What a story. Great stoery line, lovely characters. The interactions are funny and loving. Simply a great read. Thank you so much.
I loved it in the first rendition ,And this rendition while different was just as good ! 5*'s as usual
Thanks for the read

Really loved the setting, premise, and execution to a degree. Would have loved to see even the existing timeline expanded a little and then see the timeline of the next like few years within the story/setting.
A couple of things that really need fixing: the skipping back and forth of tenses is the biggest. Going from 'he' to 'I' more than once. It *seriously* throws off the reading flow. You were good through most of the first 8 or so pages, then there was a whole paragraph were it was in first person, and a bunch of other times after. The second one is keeping the names consistent. At one point Kevin was Stan, and Sable was Sabine. I'm not sure if those were their names in a previous edit, but that is another one that needs to be watched for. I have seen way worse, though... There were a few spelling errors, but those were minor enough I could let them slide. Other wise, this was a really good story. But because of those two big things, I had to give this a four, instead of five stars.
Return of the Harem King!
Missed having you around here man and this story was tons of fun, as per your usual. I can’t but slightly mourn the original story but definitely understand why you made the change. You definitely have the management of so many personalities down Pat. None of them felt flat or lifeless to me, despite their simplicity, and it was fun seeing just how things progressed.
Can’t wait for whatever comes next
The original, Bast dream parts were weird to read, with the kitties ability to turn back and forth between their old animal form and their catgirl form removed. But the reveal it was all a dream removed all of my concerns. I greatly enjoyed the new parts. Looking forward to my first re-read and to any possible future sequels.

Top Shelf Story!
I enjoyed version 1.0 and version 2.0 is a great expansion.
11/10!!!!!
Damn, I loved this new version better. I want to give it 10 stars. Not to sound greedy, but some more chapters would be greatly appreciated.
I thought this was just brilliant, thank you for writing this. I was sent this by a friend to read, as they knew it would appeal to me, and they were not wrong. Sweet, funny, and an easy read. Five stars for you.
I enjoyed the story but it needed more error checking before publishing. There's a bunch of awkward switching between 3rd person and 1st person narrative, a couple of instances of names being incorrect (maybe left over from an edit?) and a few small spelling and grammar mistakes which should have been caught with just a spellchecker.
I still favourited it though, so there's that.
The story was very enjoyable. The concept of anthro people has been around a long time but this is the first story where I've seen Anthro/Human breeding. The end did feel a bit unfinished kind of like it just stopped.
It was good and very well written. But I had to stop at chapter five, and couldn't continue. All that buildup and it was all a dream, I expected it but I still couldn't move on from it. Then the entire world has naked animal people, yet treated like nonhumans, just threw me off
Really good story and set up. The only things i had a problem with was the fast switching of characters. Also it wasn't clear how Kevin saw the kitties. I thought they appered anthro only to him after the world switch. Was laughing my ass of thinking of how it looked to that store clerk that way xD. But great story none the less. Hope for more!
