  What did I just read?
  I-
  I don't even know what this fever dream of a story is. I mean. I guess that it's exactly as the tile says. All the plot points are there. In the title. Uh. Wow yeah I really don't know if I can say much else about this. Anyways, yes, the guy does get reincarnated as an otter and overdoses on copium. That's as much as I can tell.
  Bye.

  If you like puns, you'll love this story. If you don't like puns, you'll relate to the main character. If you don't have an opinion on puns, than you confuse me. This was an amazing read, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a a short story to read. The story is a joke, but it's written well, it's funny, and it doesn't go on for so long that the joke gets less funny. I don't know how long comments have to be, but as long as you don't mind puns, you'll like this story. If you dislike puns though, you've probably already clicked off this story.

  Otterly spectacular. 100% felt like I was reading a fever dream. This was great. I felt like my sanity was decreasing with every pun, which, frankly, is probably how the main character felt as well. Definitely worth a read and I'm gonna go share this with my friends. If I had to read it, they do too.

  I stumbled upon this whilst looking for something short to read and was notter disappointed. Kafka would be proud.
  If you want a few minutes of silliness (where your sanity might fall a little) then it's worth a read!
  Too often people can be chained to their longer work that they don't let their mad, fleeting ideas come to fruition, but I'm glad this author followed through :')
  It is clear, to-the-point and daft.

  I really, really, REALLY wish I could also harness the unfiltered genius needed to write such a literary masterpiece. "Reincarnated as an Otter, I overdosed on Copium" does what many in the genre are afraid to - be funny, and not drag on for 100 chapters too long. Succinct, straight-to-the-point, and otterly mind-rending. I love it.

  A funny little story with satiric elements towards isekai and such fantasies, i expected nothing but i was otterly surprised with how funny this read was, of course is just a pun filled couple of pages, but it did bring a smile to my face so i encorage you to read it.

  Funny. Entertaining. Well-written.
  It's a short story that leaves just enough for the imagination. It feels like the world and story had more to it that went unexplained, but not to the point that the story feels uncomplete--just right. There is some mystery and potential that provides fodder for thought.
  Not overly complex (and it shouldn't be, since it's a short!). But feels full and substantial for what it is.
  Character is... someone who would overdose on copium.
  It reflects what I would say would be universally understandably themes. (That I won't get into, because this is a review, and no spoilers.)
  Interesting concept. Unique twist. Fully entertaining read that I wasn't tempted to put down at any point.
  It's short so it doesn't require an overly huge investment, but is entertaining and fulfilling nonetheless.
  Mostly though, funny. Fully and entirely amusing and interesting.
  Advanced Reviews must be at least 200 words long. But I don't really have anything else to say. Read the story.
  Or don't.
  But it is well-written enough to be worth the investment in time seeing as it is so short. Food for thought.
  ... I really don't have anything more to say. It was one chapter. No spoilers. So read it.

  It went by like a weird dream.
  Why does this story exist? Why is it funny? Why did I read it? Why am I reviewing it?
  Irrelevant questions!
  This is a 10 minute long meme filled with puns and nothing else. Expect nothing and be amazed!
  I would make a pun, but I think you'll read enough.

  How curious. Of all the billions of people who can speak and read English, you are the one who goes on the internet - a most fascinating invention, born of the unrelenting drive for discovery inherent in all of humanity - opens this particular website (or app) and makes the incomprehensibly strange decision to read this review of a seven-page story. The odds of this happening are so small that I want to take this opportunity to go into some detail.
  Now that I have your attention, let us discuss in detail the intrinsic factors that make up the essence of what we consider to be an otter.
  According to binominal nomenclature, otters are carnivorous mammals in the subfamily Lutrinae, a branch of the family Mustelidae. The term "otter" comes from the Old English "otor", which in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root "wódr", a word from which the English word "water" is derived. But in the end, names and classifications can only take us so far on the road to discovering the true meaning of the otter's essence. This limitation is obvious when one considers that any word assigned to the concept of "otter" is always nothing more than an attempt to vocalise the subjective and limited understanding of the otter as held and seen by a single person. It is therefore necessary to go beyond the limits of scientific classification and linguistic roots. While the biological and etymological frameworks provide a basic understanding, they barely scratch the surface of the rich tapestry that constitutes the true nature of the otter.
  Culturally, otters have been portrayed in many different ways throughout human history. In many indigenous cultures, otters are seen as symbols of playfulness, curiosity and resourcefulness. They appear in myths, folklore and stories, often embodying qualities that humans admire or aspire to. In Native American traditions, for example, the otter is sometimes seen as a totem animal, representing laughter, joy and the ability to find satisfaction in simp

  very very very very very very very very philosophical (for some reason, these have to be at least 50 words. That's *otterly* stupid. Haha otter pun. Get it? Otter? I'm just trying to get to 50 words tbh. This one is 42, 43, 44, 45, etc. I'm so close.... 50)
