The general of the demon world possessed the body of a third-rate small time celebrity. This was the story of him coming over, determined to make preparations for the demon world’s invasion of the human world, but accidentally got mixed in with the entertainment circle instead.

From endless scandals to endless gossiping, and from a nobody to a hot topic, the third-rate star had become the most eye-catching male god in the entertainment industry with a leap.

The reporters were tirelessly unearthing the ‘story’ behind him!

The object of their gossip had expressed that he had a pair of very strong thighs, and anyone could feel free to hug them! Please, come and hug them!

It wasn’t bad I’m just a hater so that why I gave it a 4 star it was a really good story I like a strong protagonist the only thing that was very disappointing for me is the ML (I thought the second ML will be with MC I was hoping it was him) but my disappointment was immeasurable I was really debating on finishing the story but since I got so far I might as well be done with it.

Honesty take my criticism with a grain of salt since... more>> I was hoping for my ship! To be cannon, I don’t usually write reviews since I don’t like doing it but just read this beforehand so you won’t be disappointed like me but it was a great story please read it when you have time. <<less

I would like to give 3.4 stars.

Positive:

-It's very exciting, you can't stop reading.

-Side characters, especially the second male lead, are very likable and unique.

-The MC also has a very unique character and is a very cruel villain. But because of the well-written character development you actually understand him (and become a villain yourself^-^)

-Great MC character development

Negative:

... more>>
Spoiler

-The first time making love with the ML was rather forced because of the demon lord controlling the MC. I also found how the MC was suddenly in love with him rather surprising. It's probably because the MC used to be very cold towards ML regardless of what he (ml) did for him (mc). And suddenly he was touched after being imprisoned by ML and controlled by the demon lord?

-The ending was beautiful, but a bit short. We never know what happened to the side characters (except for the assistant) after mcs' ''death''. Especially sad because of the well-written personalities. I was looking forward how love rivals/fans/demon subordinates would react to the situation. But we don't even get information about their well-being. I also don't know if ML ever knew that MC was once controlled by the demon lord.-_-

This is really good. Interesting concept - a demon crosses over into the modern world for world domination! It’s well executed, with an unexpected ML (I thought the second ML would be the ML), with good scenes on the entertainment business and interesting plot twist about the main character and his past.

Amazing translations, I’ve also read other works by this translator and they are great. Definitely recommend reading! I liked the bittersweet ambiguous ending.

Man, reading this novel has been quite a journey. We get to MC and ML as they struggle with their inner demons while trying to sound each other out, and let me say that it was a long bumpy road fraught with misunderstandings. The way that MC develops over the course of the novel is very well written.

This is a happy ending but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't anxious at times. Some reviewers said it's an open ended ending but I don't believe so.

MC gave ML half of his vitality at the end so I'm pretty sure ML lived. They live for thousands of years anyways, who cares if the thousands are cut in half! ? It's a happy ending I tell you, a happy ending!

Great story cried in the end. It was so painful for me to continue to read the last chapter as in I can’t see anything in the screen anymore because it has been blocked by my tears.

I really like everything I like how the MC and ML interactions. Too many misunderstandings between them I loved it because it literally shows how they kept trying to be forceful between each other but both keep failing and end up mistaking what the other’s real intention is.

The ending literally made me break.I can’t...I... more>> force myself to read and I could’t handle it anymore and ended up crying. <<less

I don't know about you guys, but I've been crying my eyes out. The plot was okay but I never expected the ending would go to that kind of direction. They should specify the tags next time, so we can prepare for the worst. Well things are better when we least expect it

I actually really enjoyed this novel and I'm a picky reader. I read most of the reviews first so I went into the novel with a lot of trepidation. Those fears were all unfounded.

MC is a high tier demon (NOT the demon lord) with a mission to set up an array to permanently open a portal bridging the demon world to the human world. He thinks he's cold and unfeeling and justifies his actions based on his experience of living in the demon world. At the same time, because he... more>> is a high tier demon he has more cognitive abilities and rationalizes a lot before he does something and his actions end up seeming kind.

The male lead is not apparent right away because there is the charming Fu Zhe Chuan that gets introduced first. I think that is where a lot of the lower stars come from, because FZC is introduced first, revealed to be handsome, rich and very gentle to the MC. I marathon-ed through the novel over a three day period so while FZC was introduced first, I never got so attached to him. ML is Qin Yao, and the way he is written at the beginning makes it seem like he could potentially be the antagonist in the story... which in a way he is. But to me, it was very obvious that ML would be QY. FZC despite his charm points, is not in the story as much as QY is after establishing his presence as the financial backer, and MC barely has any interests in him. Even Wang Dao got to make out and almost bed MC where as FZC never even got a handshake.

The whole story was well written too, imho. I like how little facets of MC's worldwide view changes are presented and how his interactions with the people around him and his host's family made him think and feel things he never thought of before. QY is also crazy devoted and I am satisfied with the way the novel ended. Not obviously HE, but hopeful. It allows the reader to dream up the possibilities.

All in all, a very satisfying read! <<less

although the idea of the author is present, and conveniently achieved, but from middle till the end I started to struggle with this one. many episodes were bundled together, but actually had no effect on the story whatsoever.

since I believe due to chapters originally being updated you can often see almost same passages dropped here and there due to reminding of the novel premises, but in finished version it created the atmosphere of repetitiveness and most of development that was trying to squeeze through got lost. it doesn't create development,... more>> it creates stagnation if you insist on same things over and over again the reader will believe those things instead and will get confused if you start claiming something different.

the storyline is fairly weak, sure many thing happen conveniently, but sometime it was on the borderline of being silly. characters just happen to be in same place, same time, no explanation deal with it that's how novels work. some events were so abrupt like why. plus the plot development was really slow. instead there was an attempt at developing feelings but... I feel they were kinda forced. it's hard to believe it all because too many times MC recalled how ML helped him time and time again never abandoning him, but at the same time he turned back to his old preaching - I'm a demon, I'm a demon, can't feel, can't this, can't that. I could believe it if they were like lovers in past life but then their fates were broken and meeting again he would recall some of it, but his fate changed. the conflict tried to rely on it many times as well, like MC is the same person, yet different at the same time. but where the love came from? for ML of course it was love/obsession, but MC was new to this stuff, so it felt kinda strange the whole - oh, suddenly I love you.

and also 'backer' things, sometimes I feel they all bankai-ed each other with their backers ahahah

anyway 3/5 for the effort and due to respect to the author who improved in later works <<less

God I never cried so much to an ending, I almost gave up midway of the last chapter.

Writing is splendid, translation is great, supporting characters stole my heart, male lead and MC had such f*cked up things. I loved it, it was not as addictive as other stories, but every dot and sentence had meaning, it was just great.

First half of story was good. But then everything that it had built up was just tr*shed and thrown away by the way the MC and ML were forced together at the end. So much potential wasted...

How story starts

  • non typical shou protag aka not dumb, weak, unreasonably selfless or gets bullied hopelessly by ML - I actually really liked MC's cold, arrogant personality
  • decent entertainment circle plot
  • no apparent "insta-love"
  • good settings that could potentially build up great character development i.e. how does MC learn to care for the human world as well as other people? how does his unrevealed past affect his current self? how does his dangerous love plot with ML slowly unravel? - sexy fight scenes and angst plz etc etc
How story ends

... more>>
Spoiler
  • MC goes from being an atypical MC to literally being a typical cliche helpless MC
  • they throw away the entertainment plot to reveal the final big demon king that we totalllly didnt see coming
  • you thought there was no insta love? jokes on you turns out ML actually loved MC from another lifetime and of course the person from his past that he so cares about turns out to be MC, #1 typical ML rule: no one can even come close to how he feels about MC, in fact lets just ctrl + delete his feelings about literally anyone other than MC and make him a yandere
  • lets also throw away the side characters, ML is too OP
  • lets tr*sh the ML's cold aloof personality as well, make him super jealous and then super caring typical ML at any random point, 100% ignoring the fact that this kid is supposed to be a socially awkward and isolated loner
  • MC's feelings about ML? Well it's too hard to write actual character development so let's just suddenly ramp them up from non-existent to my-life-is-meaningless-without-you by the magic of *you guessed it* r*pe! Yes lets make it super amazing dub-con r*pe by making the demon king possess MC and then without real logic, randomly confess and initiate s*x with ML
[collapse]

The character with the best potential in novel is tbh FCZ. Now I didn't support him at first since I felt like the main reason people liked him was purely because at the start he had the complete *Im the ML* starter pack and people love to go for the guy that seems like the ML purely because he is the ML. 90% of people ship the MC with the first guy to show up purely because in the end in most cases he is the one true destined ML but

Spoiler

FCZ actually deviates from the s*upid typical "I'll do anything for you ML".

I was excited that this story is based in the entertainment field but from what I've read in the other comments I'm not sure how relevant that is in the later parts of the story. It was being an actor, not him being a demon, which made me interested to begin with so I'm a little worried I'll just end up disappointed later on.
edit:
yes, the story kinda goes downhill after the reveal. The MC stops being op and there's so much DRAMA that my eyes were... more>> rolling every two seconds. Definitely some wangst going on. The story was ok, but there are better ones out there. <<less

Reassessment: In fact, I love and hate this story, even after months I still remember it. The plot was extremely immersive and the protagonist captivated me. Even though I wasn't satisfied with the ending, it was still a good story. I still don't like ML. I'm a hate fan of this story.
________________________________________
the story is about the demon MC that comes with the goal of ending the human race (it's not a spoiler, it's in the description), his body ends up being that of a three-star actor.

I found it... more>> different because he didn't mind stepping on people to reach his goal, an MC with this kind of non-passive aura is new to me and I liked it, that's what stuck me to the rest of the other chapters.

The story deceived me and I really thought that the FZS would be the ML, I even made a crazy theory to explain that the two ML's were the same person, but no. I'm giving some points for the author's creativity, but removing many for the way it developed, some things don't make sense in a logical way (like the FZS helping you without gaining anything in return, maybe at first I understand, but then it just seems forced), in addition to many secondary characters that appear and disappear, I'm not asking for much, but just a little development on them would be great!

Adding some points about the ideological duality that MC went through, it was really complicated, but it made sense to me. Now, I get a lot of points about the MC! I really hated him!
Spoiler

he forces the MC to go back to how he was before he died, even though her personality has already taken 180 ° he wants to spin back at any cost and very selfishly! That imprisonment was the worst, leaving him trapped, but he abused him, I hated it.

[collapse]

There is a big communication gap between them, which has caused me anguish sometimes. I don't know what I feel about the ending, they deserve and deserve the end they had. Up to more than half I was immersed (that's what stuck me to the end), but for chapter 80 it was just disappointment, I finished this reading without being satisfied, if you are looking for a good sweet reading or a reading in which the plot end does not seem forced, I do not recommend this <<less

I love it. Even though I kind of miss the MC as star and his personality as demon, I still love it. I've suffered a lot with such novels so I couldn't cry in the end but anyone else should. 10/10 would cry and read again.

I liked MC's interaction with other characters, and how he treats the "ants". But the MC's character became very weak after his secret was revealed. It was too f*cking bad, the misunderstandings are even unwarranted.

The MC became so dramatic and kept on acting pitiful. I was very disappointed.

A run-of-the-mill BL transmigration story with not much substance. Story is not really believable. Characters are not really believable either. The world building is also lacking. (As of Chapter 81; but there's only 96 chapters)

At least the author tried to make the MC and ML relationship dynamic a little interesting.

I can't rate it 1.5/5 for some reason. So I've just rate it as 2/5.

I wanted to read something light and fluffy and this.... was a bit angsty.

Demon Boss in Human World was an interesting book -the premise was really good for once -a pair of soulmates seperated by 1000 years ... more>>
Spoiler

. In the first life, Qin Yao's was drawn to darkness but he did the right things for Gu Yan. In the next life, Gu Yan was drawn to darkness but Qin Yao's conviction brought him to realise what he wanted. Maybe saying it in this manner is incorrect, they are both dark in their hearts but they prevent each other from going on a journey with no return -Qin Yao was a child who had lived in abject poverty, scorned and isolated by everyone-he even saw how cruel people could be - cannibalism and shit. (I had wanted to read fluff, dude) gu yan could have gone and destroyed the world but in the end that would have not made him happy. While he is no longer the self sacrificing person he was in his last life, in this life too -he won't destroy the whole world just like that. I think Gu Yan has grown be a more cynical person, he doesn't have strong attachments to the world or people but he can't be indifferent to acts of goodwill, kindess (he has a soft spot for xu ming-no matter how much he denies it) and unless provoked, he won't target a person.

[collapse]

Spoiler

I like how the author made the Gu Yan in this life -in all his entirety a dangerous, mischevious demon ;completly different from the Gu Yan's ideals in the past. He acts put against people for the satisfaction of it and if you pull a gun on him -he would gobble you up -LITERALLY.I enjoyed this selfish, tyrannical, sharp tounged Gu Yan very much thank you. He still has something humane in him but make no mistake he's a real demon. Even when he starts remembering his memories, he doesn't lose his own person and I like that.

[collapse]
At a point in story, he will start to make less catastrophic decisions but he they won't be morally correct either.

The author sure can write some interesting characters -FCZ and WD both make really good potential Male Leads even though everyone knows Gu Yuan will end up with YQ
Spoiler

. FCZ has never been unware of Gu Yuan's designs but he didn't care about all of that -he liked this person-demon whatever and he consciously decided to devote his wh0le being to gu yuan and I can appreciate that. But I worry about his mental state, FCZ, if a guy-possibly a demon with sharp claws with a killing intent is near you, then you run in the other direction!! and don't sit around and feel dejected about the fact that he doesn't trust you. WTF. 2nd Leads are a weird species altogether and do inexplicable things but this guy wins. WTF, FCZ. So yeah, FCZ needs a lot of cuddles and seets -because what an adorabe man but also someone check him in therapy. WD was quite possibly my favourite character -an ubridled, frivilous young man with an adventerous spirit -his dialouge and his actions were really intriguing. Seeing him and gu yuan interact was a sightAlso, when he thought that Yu Guan really liked him-he was ready to fight YQ even if he knew he'd lose-YG might not be moved but I was.I wanted to see more of him >.<

[collapse]

Although I appreciate both FCZ and WD and neither of them was a bad suitor for Gu Yuan but Gu Yuan and Qin Yao seemed more raw, real somhow.

Spoiler

Qin Yao turns yandere in later parts of the book and it might bother some-it did annoy me a little. but well, he saw the woman who raised him being made into a dish. Then later in his life, he saw his the love of his life being dismembered and then there were those 1000 years of seperation so cut him some slack. He cannot not go yandere after such a background setting. Also, Gu Yuan has been deceitful, manipulative throughout but since he cannot play such mind games, he resorts to doing Yandere things.

[collapse]

I liked the story and I felt quite satisfied with the whole arc-Gu Yuan is conflicted but is character is consistent -he figures somethings out on the way, YQ is not the best Male Lead, but he has a good chemisty with Gu Yuan
Spoiler

.I did hope that Yu Guan who had relucantly, unwittingly formed a place among the world could continue living on in that identity. When he didn't, I felt a little sad. Mostly for the warm hearted assistant Xu Ming. Gu Yuan did care for him, he always went out of his way to help him. They could have bonded over time and been a little family but alas.

The author did a good job, the translator did a good job as well. I felt a little empty after finishing this book. <<less

Hm. The ML seems to fluctuate between cold and firey hot. Getting a bit bipolar here. Don't think I'll continue reading. ~Edit~
Just realised I was just so close to the end before I gave up. LOL. In the end I speed read through till the finale. The ending gave it another +0.5 stars but overall this novel still wasn't able to make me love it. The plot twists and also I find the MC and ML personalities are a bit inconsistent.

This novel is a treasure ❤

By the mid-way of the novel we could guess who the MC would end up with. Howevs, the author spin the tale beautifully. I'm so glad I don't jump to read the end of the story bcs the emotional journey throughout the novel is priceless. It's a pity that there's no closure for the 2nd ML.
