do you know where I can read the novel?
Yeah totally! Here's the link :

It's in Japanese but my browser auto-translates so it's not too troublesome for me, but I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you cuz idk if it's been properly translated anywhere >.<
I've been reading the novel from here.

There's two more chapters left plus some extras according to baka-updates, though they haven't been translated afaik, and I'm not sure where to find the raws.
I can't help but compare it to the actual novel and the ending just feels super rushed and cuts the story so much that it's frustrating. . . You don't get to see any of Chikayuki's kids or find out how he got transmigrated to the world of beast men in the first place
I do love the comic in its own way but I'm just really upset by the final chapters :"
