It’s Not Easy Being Your Love Rival’s Big Brother

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The 27-year-old Wei Han is a slightly fat, slightly chicken-livered, and slightly foolish, pure-hearted and besotted top, and his sweetheart who had been together with him for seven years, in the end, was stolen away by Qi ZhiFan one morning.

Deeply broken-hearted and in despair, he went overboard with binge eating, and ended up pathetically choking to death…

Luckily, he received a second chance, yet his timing, position, and destiny all got warped, and the him who returned to being twenty followed his remarried mother into the Qi family, turning into Qi ZhiFan’s non-blood-related older brother.

Well, Wei Han swore that this time, he must alter his dumped-as-cannon-fodder fate, and since he’s become his love rival’s big bro, he can definitely torment this scumbag little brother to death, restoring his position as the rightful top and quickly carry his bottom home!

However, why is the development of the plot spiraling further and further out of his control?

Why is Qi ZhiFan looking at him with a scorching, burning gaze, acting more and more questionable ( ⊙ o ⊙ ) eh?!

Thus, Wei Han was pushed down into an official bottom…??

First I've to say the translation quality is particularly good... just has its own merits.

This novel is surprisingly well written and well balanced. Surprising meant I added this novel to my read later list long long ago but didn't start it because the description kept me doubted. Actually, I enjoyed 3 first quarters more, the last quarter is slower paced but didn't bother me that much. I love both MC & ML... both complete each other well either with ML's 'young master' 'genius' way or MC's 'upright' 'silly' 'overthrown striving'... more>> way... cute! Yes there's 'genius' vs 'silly' but no one needs protection here, each has his own strength. I guess I don't make sense... better go ahead to READ the story!

This is a cute and fun story! I loved watching Wei Han and Qi Zhifan's relationship develop. I also really liked the side characters (especially Pei Yuyang and Jiang Chengrui!) The ending did feel a little rushed, though, and I wish that a few aspects of the plot got a little more resolution.

Aiyoooo~ that was a good read. I laughed so hard at Wei Han's personality haha. There were of course some flaws in the plot but I love their chemistry. This kind of trope was really satisfying~

... more>>
Spoiler

just that they get together so soon~ haha. Also, having multiple couples in a 60 chapters story was a bit bad, it feels like their stories were rushed. And all of a sudden, it became a harem type (?) but even so, I love the humor. When wei han dreamed of his past life, I kind of want that story to be a bit longer. Or more like I want to know what happened with the past Wei Han and Qi Zhifan hmmmm.. In that way, won't it be more interesting rather than dragging other CPs into the story?

I think this is comic genius! The scene where MC hides in a plastic bag in the lavatory was hysterical! The scene where he accidentally cuts all his hair off, the bright pink thong, all of it hit my funny bone, let alone MC's tendency to literally run away when scared. Funny and fun

Is it just me or its really just me who seems to think that the translations a bit lacking?!. I might not be great but I still do know how so so it is.

And bout the story, I still haven't finish it. Tho the whole premise seems good and interesting coz of some taboo thingy situation, its still be depends on how it will flow.

So I finally finished it and go be frank I thigh it would be highly Upton my taste but not rlly? There's around 4 CP 2 being the main

The first CP is like this mensao lil bro X Slightly idiotic loud big bro that's smaller

Second CP is purple sheep/pe*vert who likes to play around X innocent slightly serious kid

The story is quite enjoyable to read the only reason that I said it isn't really upto my taste is because it's probably because they're to lovey dovey? Like it's slightly realistic... more>> love and it's funny too? Some stuff bothered me in the story but it didn't ruined the story too much for me

Overall I'll give this a 4/3, 9 out 5, if you like something similar to architecture BL then this might be upto your taste <<less

Sweet story.

Main character is silly, simple. ML is a bit tsundere, totally OP.

Translation is high quality, chapters are long.

No face slapping, slow romance. The author hides time skips (e.g. Suddenly we learn that it has been 2 years by a short mention in the chapter).

Overall, a good, slightly fluffy story with no tragedy and good ending for all main characters. Recommended for 1-2 days binge reading.

Good read. Not sure why people have been giving bad reviews. I quite enjoyed this novel. Thought it was funny (first half or so). The main characters were cool. And back story and plot interesting and easy to follow (the good quality of translation helps)

I would recommend this. In my opinion its worth the time. Though it only took me like the whole weekend to read, wish there was another extra.

I tried reading this once but ended up dropping it. Finally ended up reading it and it wasnt too bad.

The first part of the novel was very cute. The interactions between the ML and MC were funny and sweet! However the second part of the novel is when they really start their relationship and the novel gets even sweeter.

Ahhhh so cute so cute.

The translation has almost no, if not, any grammar mistakes which makes it easy to read.

The angst that's in the story is really light since conflict is resolved rather quickly, which is good since I wasn't here for the dog blood drama. I was in it for a cute and interesting l

That being said, I totally recommend you to read this novel!! ?

((cl**ked wrong on the star rating ? Don't know how to change it?? If anyone's read to the bottom, my actual rating is a 5)) <<less

A really light, fluffy, toe-curlingly sweet little story. Not very angsty at all. Cute. Simple.

MC & ML have a bit of friction in the beginning but you can tell both of them care about each other in their own roundabout ways. Their interactions improve as they interact more and build good will towards each other. Not a revenge story at all -- more of a MC is a little more mature in terms of love this time around (instead of brainlessly chasing weak, or cute people that don't love him at all)

The back story was promising. Wei Han is kind of a doormat. Getting bullied all the time but still treated others with kindness (despite the grumbling). But there are several things that bugs me.

... more>>
Spoiler

the timeline of the story changes abruptly in the middle of a chapter. It could go from an important situation in the kitchen and skip to two weeks later the next paragraph and just lightly addressed what happened during the two weeks time. Its nothing major, but it disrupt the flow of story. And just skimmed over character's feeling because of of the time skip.

[collapse]

Spoiler

I do believe some jokes are lost in translation. But it could just be me. For example Odd Trouble can just be mentioned once and we can stick to the Chinese pinyin. That would be better. We can relate to how Wei Han address Zhifan on daily basis as qi fanfan. I think its more intimate. I don't know. :P

[collapse]

The most important point

Spoiler

Zhifan took advantage of Wei Han without consent throughout the story. The author might do so for fun but it would be nice if Wei Han is aware of all the thing Zhifan did the next day. Im sure he wouldn't mind that much even if he knows. Zhifan kissed Wei Han all night without consent. Grope him during the jungle training without consent. Even having s*x the first time, topping him without asking.. Tho Wei Han enjoyed it later on, asking first would be more ronantic and it reflect the level of maturity of the relationship considering they are 21 and 19 years old. Consent is something they should be aware of. It also reflect on the maturity of the author in my opinion. BUTTT, it does not ruin the story too much for me. Just thought it would be nice. Thats all

[collapse]

Overall, nice set up. Love MC, the ML.. Not so much at this point. His monologue are scarce and its quite hard to grasp his overall character at the moment I think. It still fun nonetheless. <<less

This was adorable. Simple and funny. It made me want to start a record as well of grievances and revenge just for kicks! The MC is very cute. I have some problems with the last chapters, I felt like they did nothing but pa pa pa pa but still it's nice since it was all just teasing until that point. All in all this was good to stave off boredom.",)

Pretty compelling reading as you witness these brothers come together like a good and sexy kind of car crash where no one really gets hurt but the wreckage can be disturbing at times (their poor Mum).

I don't really have many complaints regarding this novel but that's about it. It's pretty average and the MC is kinda hit or miss, you either like him or you don't. The ML is hard to like in the beginning, as he had a very arrogant attitude and was just rude. He later comes around but he's somewhat hard to tolerate in the beginning.

The first part of the story is great. The way the ML and MC interacts hooks me to the story. Although as time pass by, especially when they are together already. The interactions became monotone to the point that I got bored and I want to drop the novel but at that time there are still 15-20 chapters left so I decided to finish it.

Also the way they solved their problem regarding being brothers. The way it is not describe properly annoys me. Tbh, I didnt got a proper closure... more>> about that part. It just reverted to being fluffy and somewhat sappy.

First of all, I almost drop this novel. Why? Coz at first I couldn't stand the simpleness of MC (This more likely due to my low level of tolerance)

Spoiler

this last till ch. 19 But the story start picking up after ch. 20 (again, this's as per me, not others opinion)

[collapse]

However this's a funny story and it made me laugh. Sweet & fluffy ~

ML is possesive and annoyed with several numbers of his love rivals. A very caring man with sharp tongue.

MC has good perseverance and a hard working towards his goal in order to change his life after rebirth.

Both MC and ML are pretty much straight forward when it comes to expresses themselves once they're in relationship.

Spoiler

lots of smut ?

[collapse]

Spoiler

there's also another gay couple in this novel. The uke (bottom) is a good friend of MC. They also have good story
