One Useless Rebirth

Description

He Bai won the lottery, became rich, and reached the pinnacle of life. Then, he inadvertently took a picture of the Film Emperor Di Qiuhe being killed. And after reporting this case to the police, he was reborn in a midst of confusion.

He Bai: I don’t have any horrible relatives to abuse. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I do.

He Bai: I also haven’t been betrayed or harmed by anyone. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I have.

He Bai: I just want to have some money to live freely and eat well. I already achieved that goal, so why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: I have money, but don’t live freely or well.

He Bai angrily flips the table: So what’s the use of my rebirth! Just to make me suffer again?!

Di Qiuhe (Holding and Touching He Bai): Be my lover, you’re only responsible for eating “lollipops,” you won’t eat any bitterness.

He Bai: Leave!

Loved it! It is such a lovely read and I loved the characters and their friendship and love. It was very satisfying and had little angst which I love.

The CP are soo sweet and should be cuddled and protected ????????????

Well, nothing new in this story. Author just wrote things way too easier for ML & MC to enjoy nicely with such disgusting family background of ML. Particularly what I hate about this novel is "Romance between the leads".. It's exactly like puppy love lol so childish, sometimes I found it so irritating to read and it's nothing funny at all the way both behaves like a choding. And strangely ML fell in love with MC so soon and there ain't any possible explanations on how MC tied his fate... more>> with ML on both the lives (it was mentioned by ML & his friend in 1st life that MC must have owed him much in his previous life to be mascot in this (1st) life but it wasn't explained well).

And mainly author doesn't do much work on details explaining photography well also many important things in the story. <<less

If you get past the first 100 chapters of actual nonsense, then the story becomes a lot more enjoyable, but boy did I struggle to get past the first 100 chapters. I had to double check a few times to make sure I wasn't reading some AU fanfiction because of the sheer absurdity of everything. The plot is mediocre at best, romance is okay. MC is the trusting naive type while ML is repressed yet devoted, nothing too surprising.

I'm unsure if it's a translation issue or if it's the way... more>> the story is written, but the prose is terrible. This is a BL version of the popular "CEO/celebrity loves me" genre and unfortunately like most of the novels in this genre, it's not very good. <<less

Felt like the story was badly written or rushed in translation. It’s a good storyline just felt choppy. Loved the MC and ML. No angst within their relationship it’s just a matter of realizing and sealing the deal. Story is PG no R scenes. Very quick and okay read in between waiting for your fave novel to be translated.

Fluff with a decent plot. This is one of those novels that you read when you're lonely and sad.

Good:

  • MC: I love him, he went through rebirth and used it to his advantage. Didn't lose his adult reasoning unlike other MCs lol
  • Character dynamics: Everyone was a nice touch to the story. No unnecessary story for the side charas. Sure, they aren't shown much but they're introduced in a way you won't forget them even if it's been a few chaps since their last appearance.
Meh:

... more>>
  • Plot Progress: It has great pacing for more than half of the story BUT!! That last few chapters were really disappointing. They built up the issue with ML's family only to shrug it off? Guess they wanted it to end asap lol
Bad:

  • None!
I overall really loved every minute reading this. <<less

I wonder why people leave bad reviews on good books ?? Is it perfect? No, it's not. Was it a good read regardless? Yes, it was. I mean sure, the ML was overbearing and rude the first few chapters but later we found out why and as the book progresses he becomes such a cute, cuddly and clingy puppy.

... more>>
Spoiler

He was raised by his step-mom and his good for nothing father. They used him, mistreated him, plotted against him and he learned how to wear a mask from a young age. He was always defending against such people and it was really hard for him to let anyone in.

[collapse]

As for the author not having knowledge on photography. WELL..., This isn't a "how to" book. The details were sketchy but they were very believable. As someone who knows nothing about photography and who doesn't really care either way I found the description just right. it didn't drag you into a lesson on how to take good pictures but it left you with the wonderful awe and aftertaste. I found it quite likable ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

The MC I admit was rather childish at first especially considering he was 30something when he was reborn but he grew up a lot after he got together with the ML. And isn't that why we love to read books? So we can witness amazing character development and growth?

The translation was a little off but that's probably because they didn't have an editor. I originally gave this book a 3.5 ⭐ but then I rounded it off to a 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ because of the fluff <<less

I found both of them very cute and easy to like. And when they get together they are sooo lovely! You'll be given a lot of dog food!

Ps- the shou is not the "I'm not gay, Im a straight manly man" which is a plus for me. He accepts that he's in love with a man and doesn't have a problem with it.

The gong appears in the begging black bellied but that's just because he doesn't understand his feelings. Once he does he becomes a doting and pampering hubby.

The beginning is good and unique but then I found that there is nothing special. The romance is supposed to slow burn but I didn't wait for it. Although I like the MC but it can't change my rating. Everything else just an average, a light read in your spare time.

Definitely worth reading. Really love the interaction between He Bai and Di Qiuhe. He Bai didn’t expect that he would embark on a completely different way of photography after he was born again. Di Qiuhe didn’t expect that he would fall in love with a schoolboy who seemed to be a paparazzi at the first sight. But all the courting later on is just sweet and hilarious.

This novel is simply wonderful. The fates of our MC and ML have been connected starting from the moment of the rebirth of MC. This book is full of sweetness and fluff. Definitely a breath of fresh air from all of those angsty novels.

CUTE!!

Characters: 5/5

MC is rational and smart, he's very talented but it doesn't feel like his golden finger is overpowering. I like the way he calmly handles troublesome situations and his expert relations with people in the messy industry. ML is so awesome, I'm in love with this character. SO funny and cute, just too mengmengmeng. Their relationship is really funny, it's built slowly although started by "fate"; they bicker and tease and it's just too cute. Side characters are also very good, only chapter 30 so far but I feel... more>> like all the characters have been developed very well.

Plot: 5/5

True to story. Better than I thought it would be from the synopsis. Basically, MC accidentally took a photo of the mu*der of a Film Emperor. Suddenly he travels back in time to when he was a student, and meets this Emperor himself. MC mostly takes it in stride, but there is some questioning of "why was I sent back in time" and we see them building a relationship amidst family and industry drama.

Writing / Translation: 5/5

No complaints <<less

Frankly, it's great ! I love this "fate" between the MC and ML. The rebirthed MC can't escape... I guess that he as reborn because fate remembered too late to match them. You can only say that betweek theses two, it's fat... ality !

The ML said it himself that the MC was sent to be his golden finger. They are such luckywarm to each other !

I really recommend this novel. I never met more cuter ML and he is a professionnel misery's seller ! You can only love him !... more>> And the MC, well, you wish him patience. <<less

OMG! It must be one of the best BL novels I have read, humorous language, flow plot with twists and turns. He Bai’s life is so dramatic. He becomes a rich person for winning lottery, six million RMB in his bank account. Then, he experiences rebirth and only has six hundred RMB. Haha... I feel bad for him! So hilarious!

This story is not your typical rebirth story where the MC is abused to dead, then rebirth to take revenge on the abuser.

It's like the title said, a useless rebirth. The MC just suddenly rebirth with no clear purpose whatsoever. But he meet ML in this new life and might have been indirectly helping ML to move on with his life and career.

MC and ML personality balance with other, where MC is more of a sunny personality and ML is more of two-faced and white lotus kind of personality.

It's a... more>> good read, and kinda addictive when ML is dealing with his oppressors <<less

One of my favorites; doesn't rely too much on the cheats provided by rebirth or the ML. Although this story doesn't really provide a believable lifestyle (or work/job) of a photographer (nor an actor, for that matter), it's still able to express something of a love for photography and taking photographs and the fascination and passion for it. Not the best out there, but the plot and MC's personality is enough to make it stand out from all the others, or at least enough for me to remember some of... more>> the details from this work even a year or two after reading it.

Also,

Spoiler

I kind of have expected that MC's death had something to do with ML's death in their previous lives but I wasn't able to figure out exactly how it happened. It was explained close to the end, of course. The MC was just a collateral damage from the ML's family's infighting, and died after having drunk a poisoned/drugged (?) bottled drink that was meant for the ML. He died after presenting photographic evidence to the police that ML was pushed from the building (?).

In summary, with MC's rebith, he became the ML's lucky charm.

Unlike any other rebirth novels, He Bai, the MC did not have any unfinished grievance nor have any desire to face slap people. In fact, he thought this whole rebirth business as an annoyance at first and curse the ML (Di Qiuhe) for being whole trigger to his rebirth in the first place.

Instead, this novel tells the story about how MC and ML mets agian and again, and how the ML get fond of the MC and tries to chases him instead the other way around. In fact, it's really... more>> nice to read a novel where the MC didnt revolves around the ML for once, that He Bai have his own friends and dreams and life outside ML, and while his interest (photography) and ML's job as an actor can collide, its not always so. And the ML is not the typically cold, handsome and perfect ML we've seen in many BL novels, he's flawed and a bit immature. The whole romance between MC and ML is handled pretty well, with the ML chasing MC and MC falls in love slowly.

This novel is very sweet and lighthearted. The few antagonist the story have was quickly introduced and resolved by the story, and the supporting cast is okay but not very memorable as a whole. Its a quick and light reading, 4/5 stars <<less

Finishing this story really made me feel weird...

To be honest, I'm really confused about how to discuss this story. The first half of the story I can say this is one of the gems in the transmigration tag... But the other half made me rethink, I don't know, it felt as if the author poured a lot of problems and solved them on the spot.

This is truly a novel full of problems, a slap for cannon fodder, but in an epic way. I can say that it was very fast!... more>> Usually I hate stories with a lot of problems, but not with this novel, because the problems were really resolved quickly, there were no annoying misunderstandings...

Just like the storyline, our MC and ML characters also changed a bit. I liked them in the first half, and I only continued in the second half.

For 293 chapters. This novel really solves the problem and presents a satisfactory ending. They got together in the second half, and happily she's the next half...

4, 4/5

Truthfully, just read the whole thing for the plot cause it was nice to pass the time but HONEST TO GOD there were several times I just almost dropped it. Reasons were pretty much explained by those who shares the same thoughts as mine.

Especially the MC there was nothing about that guy I liked maybe except his hardworking demeanour. And Oh yes, the translation as well it was also served as a great nerve grating system.

And while reviewing I'm not gonna state my other opinions on supporting characters and the... more>> ML cause they didn't leave much impact on my emotions or simply I could care less about them as they were written about.

"But definitely gonna say it that this type of bl is something I detest the most as a true yaoi reader". Blocking/hanging up on each other any chance they got!!! No proper communication it's either yelling or sneering or softly smiling or being coquettish!!!!! Where's the character growth!!!! Even their internal monologues doesn't contain any fluffy-ness I was looking for.
However I also find out that I don't mind weird things like god knows how meeting once ML hung upon MC and MC magically changing photography fields from one to another overnight and being UMAI at that especially since cultivating in nature based for more than one decades as stated by the author. <<less

I don't know. I finishes this but I'm not fully satisfied. It's a good story because I managed to finish it despite the long chapters.

It has a good plot and nice enough storyline.

However, I'm not fully happy with this novel.

Idk. That's just what I feel. I feel giddy to the both of them though.

I finished reading this 2 days ago I think.
