Death Progress Bar

Description

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

Shi Jin once read a book. It was supposed to be about satisfying the desire for vengeance.

The main character, also named Shi Jin, was the sixth son of his harem-novel-protagonist-like father. All was well, while his father was alive at least, but after his death, Shi Jin’s five elder half-brothers tormented him, eventually leading to his death. The protagonist was reborn, determined to take revenge, and… the novel was discontinued.

That day, Shi Jin almost spat blood and dropped the book into a shredder. The next day, he died in a car accident. Somehow, when he came to, he had transmigrated into a teenager, a youth also called Shi Jin.

There was only one problem. His father had just died. His older brothers were about to torment him…

Shi Jin: Let’s eliminate my brothers’ hatred, my goal is to keep my life!

I have finished reading this story since the middle of last year but I forgot to rate it. I really like the story and it's really an amazing plot twist. Our MC is very innocent, he is pure and naive but tough and strong willed. I really like MC and ML, their relationship is done gradually, not immediately falling in love without reason, but because of togetherness and habit. Luckily the MC and his six siblings are doing well. MC's unwavering desire to become a police officer was extraordinary and... more>> ML supported him, especially at the end. They are cuter than any other sweet couple. Even though ML is possessive, he wants MC to spread his wings and not cut them. Very good! Although I cry when it comes to the MC and his siblings. The MC and system are also adorable and their ending makes me satisfied. <<less

Even though I am only halfway through, I already know I won't regret reading this. I fell in love with the main characters and the side characters. I adore the system's personality. I adore the relationship dynamic between the ML and MC. I adore all the Guas, but Gua 2 has a special place in my heart. Shi Jin, the MC, has realistic interactions with his brothers. I also like the intricacies of the plot. Now, I can admit there is quite a bit of suspension of disbelief required when... more>> you read about "legal" criminal organizations, but in my opinion, it doesn't get ridiculous. I like this book because of how well the characters are developed, and the plot is engaging. It doesn't get too complicated that you can't keep track, but at the same time you want to know what will happen next and how the characters will react. I would also like to send a thank you to the translator for translating this gem.

It's actually a really great novel, RATE: 4, 5 / 5

This author loves unexpected twists, it's their signature. And I love this part about their writing style. It may start with some basic things, but after that can escalate into unpredictable direction. I think each of their works deserve to be on a 'reading' list due to upbeat storyline and absolutely adorable relationship development.

Same for "Death Progres Bar", the setting can't be anymore cliche and ridiculously melodramatic when a guy has 5 step-brothers from different mothers and there is also... more>> inheritance issue, but later BOOM he becomes part of some underground organization, he completely changes his fate, falls in love with the boss, bullets, fire, EXPLOSIONS. And you're sitting just gasping for air, because you neveer expected that. And it actually WORKS!

The story is really upbeat, it has enough action and enough sugar. I LOVE MCs that this author portrays, they're all strong-willed, witty, sharp and in some way adorable. It's really interesting to follow them. Their storyline escalates and progresses, as their love life. Characters all change with time, their feelings also change naturally, which I think is a big plus. ML is protective, loving person, who never stays in the way of their oved one's dreams.

I had to lower the rating from 5 for only one reason, I found that the system in this novel really plays on my nerves, but the rest of it is really interesting. I recommend you to pay attention to this author! They're really standing out among the crowd to me. <<less

This a BL novel like no other completely a different atmosphere like It filled with so much action, mysterious lot, thrilling moments equal amounts of angst and fluff Its a very tasty and delicious delight that you can't wait to devour.

And the translation s beautiful and quite wonderful too, the whole team of betwixed translation deserves an applause for their hard work and how much dedicated they are to us Fujoshis and Fundashis.

The couple in this novel are so cute their flirting is so sweet that your tooth will ache... more>> with all the sweetness and all the mysteries that surround the Main character and Male lead the way the unravel it makes you anticipating more and more you will fell such vivid emotions while reading about their suffering and grit you teeth at the enemy's tactics and this novels build just the right amount of tension at the end of each cliff.

Also If I have to day about the character development its is really in a very realistic way that it is depicted also most of the characters are 3D you know they all have their flaws and how they come to you know be better and all is shown in a very good pace and it feels natural.

The humor is on point [ and quite enjoyable] even when there are heavy actions and mysterious plot hanging around there is that humor to keep it light hearted so well there a lot of good points in this novel but rather than telling more or putting forward anymore spoilers I say go and read it now. ??????????? Happy Reading all yaoi/Bl family this a must read you all.

A very very must read for Bl fans. <<less

Intriguing mystery plot, super compelling romance, a doting ML and a hilarious MC! What more could a reader ask for? I also love that the MC actually befriends and works together with his system as a team, it's quite unusual for the system to actually become a character in itself. Overall it's a super enjoyable novel and I highly recommend it! 10/10 would read again.

Okay, so I just started this yesterday and I spent all night reading it.

This is phenomenal. I mean, the plot, the characters, the backstories, 5/5 for sure.

I just wish (this is from where I read up to on the translation), Shi Jin would try to fix his relationship with his brothers instead of giving up. I don't remember which chapter exactly, maybe chapter 38?, but Shi Jin didn't go look for his brothers after they apologized. He only cares about the progress bars and since he was sure they (the brothers) aren't the mu*derers, he dropped them like a hot potato. ꒰๑•̥﹏•̥๑꒱I really do hope they have a better relationship later on.

But moving onto Lian Jun.... OMG how is Shi Jin that dense!!!?!?!??!!?!?!?!??!??!?!?!? <<less

At the time of reading I'm not very far in but it's been a great read so far. No one is overpowered and the plot is very interesting. I can see how the secondary characters will get fleshed out. Hands down the cutest transmigration system yet, it's trying so hard and really cares about the MC. Adorable. MC is a very good boy who isn't weirdly overpowered. Haven't seen much of the ML yet but he seems reasonable, not hyper possessive.

I love the twist in this novel that set it apart from all other transmigration novel. It is not only refreshing, but also thrilling! There can be no system as adorable as Zero Baby from 7 Men but the system in this novel is cute in a naive kind of way. I love the MC. He is quite spunky and the interactions he has with the other characters are quite amusing. This MC is very charismatic. You can feel it through the written words, and the story is truly well... more>> written. Very engaging, thrilling, and leaving one wanting more. The translations are very well done, as it does not make the flow of the story awkward. Instead, I could feel how sassy the author has written the scene. As for the Ml... well, what can I say? So far I don't know the ML well enough to speculate anything too deep, after all it has only been 19 chapters, but I want to say these two are surely meant to be. I highly recommend this novel! READ IT! READ IT! READ IT! Important things must be said three times. <<less

So far, this is a very interesting alternate universe/survival/suspense/action/mystery series. The MC watches the progress in the death bars to watch for signs of impending death and uses this information to warm him that something dangerous is about to occur. Even though I'm only eight chapters in, there are plenty of two-faced characters to keep my attention and raise the suspense. I like the hard-working MC, and all of the other characters have their own depth as well. I'm looking forward to how the plot plays out.

It is an awesome novel.

I really love MC and ML's relationship. They are sweet.

I feel like I'll spoil something if I talk top much. I just have to say.

Best brother is fourth brother (Xiang Aoting) He's my favorite. I also like other brothers but they more or less made mistakes.

Don't trust the bad reviews, especially the 1 star one left by someone who read up to chapter 5 only. This novel is a gem.

Novels with systems usually annoy me but Xiao Si is the best system I've come across with. He's not OP but he's always by MC's side and serves as his trusted friend.

MC is dumb in some things but smart where it matters. He is not Gary Stu-OP and is definitely very human. ML sometimes feels flat but that's mostly because majority of the story is from... more>> the MC's POV and we hardly get a look into the ML's thoughts especially during the earlier chapters. Still, their dynamics as a couple is very much *chef's kiss*.

The reconciliation with the brothers definitely is the highlight, and like what another reviewer said here, it was written with good depth and perspective without bogging us down with preachy morals or virg*n Mary-levels of compassion blah blah. <<less

To me this is definitely a gem.

I'm so god damn jealous of all the love in the story, I grew up with 6 cousin that are like brothers but I never felt the love like this... so jealous...

This novel really make me want to find that one person that I can love and cherish with all my heart and never let anyone wrong him and give it my all.

I love this novel. It took around ~10 chapters before I could really enjoy it, but after that I could not... more>> stop reading it and ate 41 chapters in one go.

The more I read the more I love it. MC is super cute and got great personality.

At start it was quite dark with people want him dead and he have to fake su*cide to run away.

Later on MC become strong and powerful and turn anyone speechless, this is when story become a fun read.

I really like this book, it was a fun ride. I didn’t get bored reading it.

The story was interesting even though the MC is kind of gary-sue like but he has to get through quite strong conflicts. And every brother has their own story and depth also it would be better if we got a little more for the ML backstory. I’m also into a school/ academy/ college setting so it would be good if they put more detailed part about mc’s school. But I know it’s not the main... more>> focus so overall I rate it 5/5

Spoiler

it was a really sad HE I cried so much.

This novel is awesome. I don’t usually like system transmigration novels, but this one is really good. The system isnt annoying or all knowing & is more like a good freind to shi jun. Shi Jun also isnt ridiculously overbuffed with cheats or skills from his past life. He actually is like a human being with strengths and weaknessess.
The male lead also isnt too perfect & isnt annoying. He learns from his mistakes and isnt abusive which seems to be pretty common in transmigration tupe novels. Its honestly really... more>> good with a lot of redemption, not revenge.
so worth reading. I cant wait to read the rest of it! <<less
