A President’s Out-of-Body Experience

Description

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

Our straight (?) bottom woke up ten years into the future and found himself on the bed of his childhood friend… At the start, the bottom was shocked to his very bones, but he soon quickly accepted this premise and found the whole situation to be rather amusing. Precisely then, the bottom once again went back to his timeline — back to when he and the top were just platonic childhood friends.

I have to say this is one of the funniest novels I've read. MC and his family are honestly a riot. There's a little bit of drama and angst, but MC and ML have an implicit understanding of each other and manage to communicate through most problems without issue. Additionally, the characters (and even the novel itself) is full of self-awareness. Renzi knows that he's not clever and needs things to be spelled out while the novel even clearly indicates that because he's gay... everyone around him is also gay.... more>> Even his dad wonders if he might be gay.

The translation was superb, kudos to the translator. My only gripe is that there was a bit of a downward spiral near towards the end and the ending itself was a bit lackluster. <<less

Gonna give this 4 stars, this novel was really enjoyable.

It was mostly fluffy but it had some level of depth, the characters weren't one-dimensional and I liked most of them. The MC is really naive and unguarded but it's an issue that does get addressed which is something you rarely see in these types of novels. (Plus he's a little cutie pie) Even with the naive/s*upid character trope, the misunderstandings weren't drawn out and didn't make me want to pull my hair out which I'm grateful for. I'm kinda disappointed... more>> that the MC never told the ML about that dream at any point in the story, which made it somewhat insignificant and really only served as a catalyst for the MC's feelings. The author definitely could have done more with that concept but all in all the novel was a nice read. <<less

This was a really cute story, with a couple that makes me happy just reading about them.

There isn't a ton of plot, but the story maintains momentum with the progression of the two protagonists' relationship, minor drama with various side characters, and some character development towards the very end.

Overall, an enjoyable read.

This is my first review and I have to say I read it in a day it's amazing I love the weird conclusion that are brought up by Yunren and his hubby. Can't wait for this to finish it's a must read for me.

Warning though read tag it says naive protagonist don't expect them to be smart but this MC isn't completely s*upid they're just sheltered

The book was quite nice at first but everything starts to fall apart during the second half. MC had no character development and him traveling to the future has barely to none effects to the plot it might as well might not have happened. There is a constant misunderstanding at every step of the plot, while I found it funny and endearing at first, it got repetitive and old real quick.

I thought that this would be a good fluffy novel to sink my teeth into, but it failed to live... more>> up to the expectations. <<less

Ahh the intro isn’t good enough for this cute and funny novel. MC, Renzi, is a silly fool. He goes into the future and finds out he’s in a romantic relationship with his childhood friend, Gu Xiaoshan. How can this be? He’s straight! Or so the thought. Hahaha!

Novel is about Renzi pursuing GX once he realizes his feelings. However, Renzi is like a silly dog who gets distracted during his pursuit and ends up in various interesting situations. ;)

4.5* I love this is so cute, unique, and FUNNY (i laughed out loud) with great side characters (mc's family is crazy wonderful), like that the main characters have flaws

WRITING/COMEDY 5*

ROMANCE 4* I like that MC chases the ML and his family's love advice / "help" cracked me up; but I don't really see their closeness or why ML is attached to mc

PLOT 3.5*... more>>
Spoiler

modern romantic comedy bl, MC decides to go for his friend after getting a glimpse of their future together; romance is the focus of this story

[collapse]

HEAT 3? This is hard to specify since the first chapter starts off with a few nsfw scenes and then after that it's very pg with little spice

MC 2* helpless lovestruck mooch; comedic relief

Spoiler

I have very mixed feelings about the MC. The MC is too dense, naive, and helpless for my preference; he doesn't really have "good qualities" and it gets frustrating to read after while; I do like that although he's naive he's not particularly nice to people (just trusting)

I am baffled that that with his personality the MC hasn't been kidnapped several times before the story even started, it's a bit too unbelievable

Oh my god I was so afraid Shu Jingyi was going to "hunt" our MC, I know it's not that kind of story but still

it's extremely hard to like the MC a lot when the story constantly emphasizes that he isn't smart or talented at anything; it's also emphasized that he has no friends besides maybe ml

[collapse]

ML 4* rich ceo/president with emotional baggage, mc's best (only?) friend

Romance speed=medium, when do they get together?

Spoiler

technically ch 58

renzi, the MC, is so naive and dense. I even called him s*upid a few times. It's not in the sense of mocking or insulting him but im genuinely saying that's he's really s*upid. But he's so nice. Such a pure hearted man, I cannot find faults. I even started to love him until the end.

also u need to know, before u read, in case u misunderstood him, it's not exactly his fault for being like that.

although I had my fair shares of reading naive MC, this is actually the... more>> first time that I really read a completely well-written character setting. There are some naive MCs who's actually pretty clever, always managing to make the MC a genius.

why I wanted to recommend this is because it made me realize a lot about naive people. My thoughts about them was completely captured by the author.

just a warning that this would frustrate u, u would blame the MC then feel guilty about it then blame the people around him haha

but this is also entertaining and hilarious, especially renzi's family. I love their interactions so much !!

about the progress of the plot, it's medium paced and is lighthearted. There are scenes that would make u feel secondhand embarrasment.

ofc we shouldn't forget our ml, who was so protective,
Spoiler

he even hide his own feelings and worries just to make sure renzi wouldn't be sad about it, see how love can make u s*upid sigh

[collapse]

anyways, I ended up loving this so much but I would definitely not reread this since I'm quite sure I would remember this for a long long time. <<less

I think with every danmei you kind of have to change your scale of how 'good' a novel is because the quality and genre of works can be wayyyy more diverse than what we give credit for. This novel sells itself as a funny and easy-going, so I'm not going to expect deep thoughts or the moving journey of an MC's road to growth and maturation. And that's not a bad thing -- not every novel needs to be a piece that you have to think hard about. This story... more>> is really cute and its main positive points are its humor and (simple) romance. I think it succeeded in what it was trying to accomplish. Another thing I'd like to say is that in addition to my opinion that not every danmei needs to be deep, I also think it's fine to have MCs that are naive, silly, or even a little 'dumb'. It just adds to the diverse body of works that are out there. Not even gonna lie there was a point in time where I was annoyed with the deluge of MCs who, from the beginning to the end, are mature/smart and never encounter any problems because they're 'smart' enough to avoid them. I think these types of MCs also go through no growth, and are perhaps even less interesting than MCs like in this story. MCs who are a little dumb and fall for traps and evil plotting help add to the drama of a story, and drama is part of the entertainment that I'm trying to get from these books, lol. <<less

Chap 26:

Old Mister Yu and the Eldest son are seriously too funny

Chap 56:

Okay Renzi's naivety/ cluelessness/pampered rich kid syndrome/no need to work hard/IQ never focused on proper stuff is taking a toll on me. Nearly halfway into the novel and he's not gaining any maturity. No doubt that was the key hilarity during the start till now and I loved it, but it feels like it's getting old. However I'm still loving the side duo and Old Mister Yu.

The MC is very naive and silly.. Sometimes to the point of being frustrating but at the same time his silliness is quite cute. Also, his lack of well awareness about other people's bad intentions is can be very much attributed to the way he was raised so I can't find fault with it because although he's silly it's quite realistic and in line with his character. Also, even though he's naive, he's sensitive to the feelings and emotions of those that are close to him that he actually cares... more>> about.

Spoiler

You can say he isn't really aware of Shu Jingyi (i think that's his name?) 's intentions towards him but at the same time when it comes to his father brother or even the ML when they're in front of him he can tell hoe they feel. I feel that though he doesn't always understand why the ML does the things he does - like when the ML ran away to Country C after realizing the MC liked him - he still knows when the ML is avoiding him - also I think considering their relationship dynamic it's quite reasonable for him to think the ML was simply going to work because he doesn't know enough about their circle to know that that meeting wasn't a necessary thing to attend and the ML does have quite a lot of work that takes him out of the country often. Anyyywayys - the MC is overall more sensitive towards people he cares about and can't be bothered to use his brain to figure out what other people are thinking about because he knows his family will protect him at the end of the day.

[collapse]

Overall the novel is really sweet and cute.

If I have anything I'm not satisfied with it would be the resolution between the MC and the ML's father.

Spoiler

Yeah he stopped interfering but like a little line there to show that he set down his prejudice towards the MC due to his relationship with the ML being much bettter than the ML's parent's relationship.

Also like I really want a clarification on if the MC had ever actually did anything with his 'girlfriends' because it didn't really seem like it - like I can't think of him throwing money at them and then sleeping with them and then throwing more money at them and breaking up, to me personally it felt more like he threw money at them to have a girlfriend in name that he could take out to accompany him at events and make a fuss with idk but this doesn't really affect the story it's just a little thing that I would've preferred clarification on.

quite an enjoyable read. although there were plenty of times I felt frustrated because of the mc’s foolishness and naivety I couldn’t help but still root for him... he was still adorable I think... overall this was very entertaining because of the dynamics between the characters and their personalities.

I gave this novel 4 stars but I have mixed feelings about it. The MC was a naive overtrusting man child. His foolishness was adorable at times but other times he made me frustrated with his s*upidity. His family and ML overindulged him too. But it was kinda refreshing to see MC with such child like innocence. The MC family dynamic was kinda funny. The novel was hilarious at some times.

The villain was like predators which we see in real life too.

The translation was spectacular.

I'm giving it four stars only because of the author's effort and the translation group but my original review to this novel is three.

One star for author and translator. Two star for the plot. One star for characters.

Let me make it clear, I like MC, alright, but I don't like how overly trusting he is and how lacking he is at common sense. I mean yeah I understand his position because the novel made it clear how pampered and spoiled he is, relying on his dad, brother, and ML since... more>> childhood. He was a sheltered young master who knew nothing of how the real world works so I understand how he is so innocent and pure and honest. But I just want him to at least try his best to change his ways especially after he acknowledged that he isn't worthy (or was it deserving?) of ML because ML is just amazing and patient (he's not perfect but who cares?) .

Nevertheless, this novel is good. <<less

Admittedly, I read this ages a while ago, so I won't write much.

+1 The story's as the synopsis says, which is a first for Chinese novels. No spoilers. Just facts about the first two chapters.

-1 The MC's a self-pitying, talentless rich guy and is way too naïve. Still, it's good for pointless dog-blood drama.

... more>> +1 We have a mature ML who doesn't have scarily r*pey tendencies!1!1!

-1 Some unnecessary interactions and side ships that appear randomly.

+1 The translator is good. Thank you for your hard work. &Lt;3

-1 The ending (which explains the "out-of-body experience") is abrupt and kind of pointless.

All in all, this is decent. <<less
