Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.As a true over-bearing president scum gong, when Xie He for the nth time rejected his admirer, he heard a sentence in his head: “Congratulations on achieving the “rejects 100 hosts” accomplishment; as an award you will soon bind to the “Scum Gong and Cheap Shou” system, entering other worlds to complete capture missions.
As a scum gong, Xie He expresses that it is very easy to hide one’s true colors, but…
“I Heard My Boyfriend’s Brother Secretly Loves Me,”
“Teacher Love Me One More Time,”
“Raising Youth Manual,”
“Your Majesty, This Servant Obeys,”
“The Tyrant Lord’s Substitute Lover,”
“Captive of the Empire,”
“Disciple’s Cultivation Furnace”…
Xie He: Wait a minute. These words sound really strange… and why is my role the ‘cheap shou’?
System: Fighting poison with poison. Using scum to overcome scum. I’ll be relying on you to abuse the scum gong! Remember to not OOC~
Xie He: Hehe.
Later…
Xie He: Hm? You say all the scum gong love me? Sorry, I only love myself.
Scum gong: ???

Huge impression right off the bat; to illustrate it in my way, I'd say MC is like Jabami Yumeko from Kakegurui, strutting down the path with sprinklers setting off dog blood (dramarama
queue Monster X's song) with a twisted expression of glee.MC is not a good person either by any means, the only tragic beings here are the system that gets scolded and shamed every time for being naïve and the poor passer-bys, secondary MLs, or minimal admirers of MC.
MC has a brilliant talent for blackening people into no redemption too, that's how extreme it gets :D
It does follow tropes, but has immensely immersive narrations, from both a "pitiful abused victim" to "observing relaxed laissez-faire psycho host".
A very calculated nice interlude for when the abuse gets too much, breaking you off from the immersion of absolute hurt. Yes, it has r*pe, yes, it's full of domestic violence and emotional abuse. But it's not even the worst thing that will happen to MC. Author squeezed out all capable scum moves from their repertoire. But in the end it's worth to see tr*sh suffer, unable to obtain what they wanted the most after they fall in love with MC, mwhahahahaha.
It's not romanticizing things you shouldn't romanticise, so the MLs come with a degree of self-awareness of their own scum conduct and have to suffer in all eternity with the consequences of their actions. A deadly cycle of BEs! Endings are also conclusive, showing miserable scenes of the scums.
Beside the set-in-stone past happenings and character backgrounds + characteristics and destined leads, everything is quite open for MC to explore, unrestricted to a plotline.
The means of leaving the worlds are a bit ridiculous. Everyone, from translators to commenters to reviewers, have pointed it out so far that it's way too unrealistic and it's precisely so.
For example, first death could've been something along the lines like blocking a bullet for mission target and confess dying in his arms instead of mauling his own wrist that lead to blood loss. The death scenes are more or less old school soap-drama-esque on the levels of bleeding out of the mouth whether if you're hanged, poisoned or stabbed. It got much better after first couple of arcs though so it's bearable.
In the end, it turns out it's all just (e) RP. You could consider the stories split yet aligned.
The system hosts are acting out a story, how much of it is all fake and how much of it is real?
Inconclusive, yet fascinating all the same. It's written so that you can both sympathize with the original characters or loathe them as well as get a whole new perspective with the real ML.
The finale gave the story a huge re-read value. The feelings of readers will be patched up in the end :D
Amazing translations and if you're more into this type of cycle of abuse to vent, I recommend "Quick Transmigration System: Male God, Come Here" (non BL/Yaoi)
- The MC acts his role in a way that the character seems too gullible to the point of foolishness that grates on my nerves.
- I hate the system---not the system but the task of capturing scum gongs itself. Dafudge? Blackening a perfectly good person who loves you in exchange for a damned scum gong who only thinks with his d*ck and have no regard for his brother who looks up to him is way too much.
- Dunno about you guys but I don't see any romance there really. If this arc is already too much then I don't dare imagine the next ones.
But to the people who enjoy dog blood drama and scum gongs thinking with their... more>>The Empire's Captive arc since the MC confessed at the end, that he would love him if they weren't fated enemies, and they died together voluntarily.
- As I mentioned before, MC, who was a gong before transmigrating, is a competent dude who is cold, calculative and doesn't fall in love with his targets at all (granted I only read till chapter 32 but it's over 200 chapters long so I'm gonna say he keeps to that standard for a long ass time).
- If you're looking for a black bellied, possessive to the point of sometimes breaking MC (he doesn't actually break, he's "acting"), yandere ML.... you've come to the right place my friend, come sit down and take a gander at this wonderful treat. However, for those who hate r*pe, turn away, this is not for you and don't start reading this thinking "oh I'll just ignore it and then leave a crappy review pissing on about the r*pe part" like read the f*cking tags. If you can't stomach r*pe, don't go into a story thinking you can get around it. Also, the r*pe affects the overarching plot of each arc so it's not gonna happen once! It'll happen again and again and again and again because this is a black bellied, narcissistic yandere gong!
- It's really nicely written and the arcs aren't too short or too long, they are just right.
Again, it's nice, but now for me personally, this is the stuff I didn't like:- I hated that the MC had to act out roles in different worlds. From the 1 and a half arcs I read, he was acting out very naive, soft, shous who were always manipulated by the black bellied gong. I don't like that. I want an MC who acts as themselves, because what happens is, when they are "acting" that means the ML isn't falling for the actual MC but the "act" the MC is putting on and that, that takes away from the overarching feelings in the arcs for me. Our MC is cold, competent and cunning, I'd rather see a 100 versions of him than see him act out a naive, and s*upid little white lotus shou.
- The plots for the first two arcs followed the typical yaoi manga route I've seen COUNTLESS times before. In both instances the gong is someone with wealth and power and the shou is the exact opposite. It's a boring plot maneuver which would've been more interesting with the shou could've acted as himself. Boring, boring, boring, if I wanted a typical plot i'd have gone and read Okane ga nai for the 117th time. What is the point of having a cunning and cold shou when he can't act as a cunning and cold shou? Ah I'm so disappointed.
Overall, I can acknowledge when something is... more>>
