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…??

4.0/5*

Cute and fluffy story. The later chapters felt less well written as if author quickly needs to move on and didn't pay much attention to writing style, sentences. Quite some explicit smut especially near the end. Overall an enjoyable read.

Kind of a mindless story where older step brother reincarnated and wanted to seek revenge on his "younger brother" who stole his boyfriend in his previous life. Things happen, boyfriend became irrelevant and the 2 "brothers" ended up together instead.

The story is pretty lame tbh but it's decent for a mindless fluff read. Don't think too hard and it'll be fine, otherwise, you'll notice lots of weird plot that happens out of nowhere and dumb jealousy moments. MC was pretty easily tricked by ML, but tbh ML wasn't much better.... more>> ML was supposed to be smart but later somehow became so MC-focused that it's a little odd. Ending family issues weren't really resolved either.

Overall relatively cute fluff story if you don't take it too seriously. <<less

Sometimes I wonder how can people write such a story.

Tbh, the MC is so dumb and annoying that I find it hard to read this. Idek why he was reborn. He was so foolish that I believe the second chance is a waste for him. It might be okay if he was the foolish cute type but he just s*upid I cant bear it. Bruh, even my younger sister is smarter. But im currently reading just for the sake of character development. So im not gonna rate it first. I... more>> will update this once I finished reading.

Okay, I finished it. Yeah, the MC is still dumb but a bit likeable now. The ending seem rushed tho. But overall its a light hearted novel. No drama or conflict. Everyone has their HE. <<less

I forced myself to finish this only because I preloaded chapters to read at work. It started out good then took a weird/ bad turn right at the beginning of the "relationship" between the MC and ML. ML always gets super jealous if MC even talks to someone else and turn around and "punishes" him with dry penetrative s*x. Which I should mention please never do that to your partner, Lube EXISTS please use that and have patience while stretching to avoid damaging or even just injuring your partner. There... more>> is a serious lack of communication between them and in the real world, I would call the ML controlling and abusive. The MC is a pushover for mostly everything except he wants to be a cop and when ML tries to control that and put him only in "safe" places like traffic-control he puts his foot down...

Most of my issues with this could have been solved with a good deal of therapy (singles and couples) and some general sexual-education. All-in-all not worth it to read unless you don't care for healthy relationships or realism. I personally will not read it again.

And that last extra comes out of nowhere. <<less

the story is meh but I managed to read the entire thing bc it was hilarious at first (literally before MC get together). After that the story went flat. The constant repetitions of events bored and disappointed me.

I got a bit annoyed when he spilled MLs medical condition just because he's annoyed at ML.

It's 4stars for me. It's a good lighthearted read, with interesting characters and with a little bit of everything that makes it entertaining and not heavy on drama. The best thing in this novel is the humour. Made me laugh out loud so many times.

The novel did start slow at first, especially the romance between the 2 MCs but in context, this is coherent with the plot. I was a tad bored for the first 25 or so chapters. The second half of the novel was more interesting, once the... more>> romance picks up, for our 2 sweet couples. <<less

I started reading this because I thought the premise was interesting but I find myself not liking the MC at all as time progresses. He's really childish and s*upid in my opinion ... more>>
Spoiler

like the moment he decided to write all his grievances against the ML in a book, labeled with an obvious name, and then starting immediately by mentioning his past life I was like, oh damn this guy is that type of dumb huh

[collapse]
and it's just, I get it's not meant to be a story hugely on plot or anything meaningful, and that's fine, it's cute and a bit cringey but funny so I'll keep going but hopefully the MC starts looking toward the ML a bit nicer

Spoiler

I mean, he knew the ML was hiding his low blood sugar condition and actually spilt it over a public chat/forum which is SO not cool, like that's legit not okay wtf especially after promising his step dad and all

[collapse]

update: the relationship gets better a few chapters after this which makes it easier to enjoy. I like the stuff that's hinted to be happening with the side characters, the story seems to really be kicking off at around chap 20 <<less

Cute and fun read. The translation was decent if a bit stiff sometimes. In particular, the nicknames didn't really come across as well as it does in Chinese (the pun nicknames really didn't come across or get explained really well)

Spoiler

The writer not getting a partner in the end was too sad. And the full coupling up was a bit much.

has lots of cute and laugh out loud moments. Humor is subjective, so I guess some people do not like this type of humor, but it fits my tastes. With that said, the characters do feel a bit 2d. And that's okay! Not everything has to be deep with a meaningful backstory. I enjoyed this for what it is--a fun story. I've even reread it, and it's still as enjoyable the second time around. I will probably reread it again in the future. Thanks as well to the translator for... more>> the nice translations.

recommended! <<less

It’s really nice that the story not only focuses on the main cp but also features a lot of the side character’s love lives ie. Chengrui, Chenghui, Chuanyao, and Leng Yan. I would’ve loved to know more about Six Hot’s love story seeing as he is so desolate lol.

I have to say that I enjoyed the early part of the story more than the latter since it was kind of heavy after, missing of the silliness in the beginning. I still very much enjoyed overall though. I just really hope... more>> we at least get an extra for Six Hot or maybe even Ou Yizhe and Shu Yi. <<less

I really enjoyed this little gem of a novel. It was thoroughly refreshing to read a story where the main couple were secure in both their sexuality and their masculinity; when it came time to consummate the relationship, the only struggle was for who's the pitcher.

In the end (giggle), the one with more skill came out top (titter) !

Haha so far loving it. I just wonder if we would get more insights about past Zhifan? Stealing MC’s love away and indirectly causing his death?

It was... okay. I finished it which is a good thing (since I'm the type who can drop anything at any point of the story once I start disliking it). I guess, for me, it was lacking depth:

  • MC’s love of 7 years fizzled rather easily on his rebirth. He did love him at the beginning, but I found it strange that he let go of it that easily.
  • Disagreements gets resolved too easily / abruptly. Would have loved to have some of them fleshed out, to give a little more depth to the story / situation. Ironically, the side character’s problems had a little more depth.
  • Regarding MC’s first love, with his vast resources (connections and money), he could’ve easily found him...
    [collapse]
Basically, the story tries to grab your interest, then when you’ve started to anticipate what’s going to happen next, it abruptly ends the situation.

Even the end of the main story (and the last extra) was soooooo lacking in detail. I need more than just a few paragraphs as to what happened!!! (╯‵□′) ╯︵┻━┻

Conclusion: Since it’s a short read, it’s an okay story to pass the time with. Nothing egregious about it, but nothing outstanding about it either. <<less

Stopped quite early, cuz the characters are personally not quite endearing in any way.

MC is not the brightest, but thinks he is by doing dumb things.

ML is rude and I get there is tsundere but it doesn't mean one devalues the love interest without after backing up again, just wut

Have fun, I gues

Rating: 3.0 (it won’t let me update my score : ()

Won’t write too much because I don’t intend to read this again. Was fairly inoffensive with a standard gong x shou formula. I skimmed through most of it because it got a bit boring after the mains got together.

Almost dropped it just because I got bored but then I realized I was pretty close to the end.

Not too bad. Plot was interesting enough for me to keep reading till the end.

However, plot could have been a little more focused and a little deeper. I feel MC and ML their relationship just developed too fast and feel in love too fast....

....I was hoping for more deeper plot and development and more of MC's plan to punish the ML, but that never happened. The story just sort of focus more on fluffy scenes and not the plot anymore....I feel the story could've ended around chapter 30-ish right when... more>> ML confessed. The last 20 or so chapters were pretty boring and really has nothing to do with the story anymore. Plus the two characters, (the writer and the guy they met at the training camp), those two were not necessarily needed in the story.

And omg, I was hoping for some face slapping for MC's boyfriend who dumped him!!! He dumped MC when MC was in his lowest stage, he should've gotten a bad ending but the story was just so nice to him. That cheater!!

Anyway, this wasn't a bad novel. Loved the MC and ML. MC can be a bit childish and dumb but his character is not bad it matches him and goes well with the ML.

Thank you translators!🥰🥰 <<less

MC luck is unbelievable

MC is not the sharpest knife, you may even say that he is dull but he got the cute side and a good heart.

Something is not right with ML maybe too arrogant, selfish, unreasonable, vinegar...

That is the first half of the story but the last half is 5/5. Sad, happy, cute, fluff...

Ending is so~ sweet~

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.
