The Target Always Thinks That I Like Him!

Description

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

After the nth time of failing a marriage meeting, Xiang Han got himself a job: good treatment, high salary, free world traveling with food provided, house provided and even a ‘lover provided’?!

At first, he thought, apart from having to travel into the body of a scum cannon fodder, a scheming fake white lotus, everything else was okay. It was only later he realized that saving the target was also a problem. His imagination was neverending, even eating a cup of ramen was seen as a way to rouse his (the target’s) interest!

Xiang Han: This target is a no-go.

Certain Target: Very good, you’ve already managed to rouse my interest.

Xiang Han: Go outside and make a left turn to the optometrist, go get your eyes healed! Additionally, this “lover provided” isn’t necessary.

A Certain Target: This is certainly necessary!

It started out interesting, then became a little bland and confusing. Since QT novels change worlds and only the MC is a constant, having an interesting MC is one of the most important parts, but this one feels boring.

The ML sort of redeems it a little. It's funny to see how he completely misunderstands the situation and creates an entire play on his own from the smallest thing.

Dropped (?) I don’t know.... their relationship is so forced. Moreover every time when MC tries to ‘top’ ML, ML never gives in and things always goes ML’s way. At first it’s fun and all but... that ‘MC try to top but failed’ thing happen again and again, very frustrating.

MC started very naive but he learn over time but still couldn’t learn to refuse the ML resolutely. Nor has he ever voiced about his discomfort (waist/back hurting, etc.), and he complains about it in his mind but won’t say it... more>> the the ML. MC would always goes ‘oh, he’s always like that. what can I do?’ I’m speechless.

As for the ML, clearly he can see the after effects of their s*x but it seems he doesn’t care at all. He would just coax MC and do it again.

The idea and the plot is good. It was fun and cute but the s*x and positions are so forced. It overshadowed the cuteness that have. Plus, for every arc, the only thing different would be their names, identities, and the situations they are in. So aside from the plot of every new world, every basically stays the same.

I also don’t like ML’s subordinates, those two, especially that “A” guy, he’s so meddling. Yes, he can be cornered about the ML but he’s too much.

Anyways, I’ve lost interest in this novel. Sigh, I really liked it first few chapters.... but it got boring. Maybe I was expecting too much? lol <<less

I really hate the dynamic, the romance is so forced, both the ML and the MC irk me off

ML just have to do that dub con, and ML cant let the MC topping even once (at 3rd world MC even tried to drug ML to make him submit, which by its own is an indication how bad their dynamic is with dub con and non con littered everywhere)

And MC has that push and pull strategy that irks me off too, if you want the relationship say you want it,... more>> if you dont want it then say that you dont want it, in 4th world, the ML confessed early, and MC hanging him for 2 years, it's okay if MC distanced himself or rejected the ML, but the MC has to act ambiguously with ML, he acted like a green tea bit*h so that ML has to proceed with dub con for their relationship to develop

In conclusion, both ML and MC irk me off so much and their dyanamic is so meh

The translator says that by 5th world their dynamic will change but by 4th world I already hate both the characters so much, so I dont know if I'll read this novel again in the future <<less

Each arch always progressing into different story than what I thought they would be.

They are able to entertain me when I thought It'd end up with a gore plot ?, it actually a fluffy bromance ?

This novel is more light-hearted than Face of Devil (FOD). I can't find myself be serious more than a couple of minutes before laughing at Han-er and Ah Ze antics ?

Can't wait to read all the arch, wish more chapters translated cuz I'm afraid I'll fry my brain by MTL-ing this #impatientreader ?

This is really sweet and kinda fluffy, the ML is not really a yandere type at least not to me, there are hints of it but he always keeps MC's feelings in mind, always very considerate, which is very cute imo.

MC starts off kinda clueless I guess uh easily led by the nose then eventually wises up and gets very bold, their interactions are quite sweet, there are angst moments but it's not long lasting... it's due to circumstances or misunderstandings, which don't last long so don't worry.

As for smex... more>> hmm.... lets say it's not super detailed, there's not too much to imagine though, and it's very short scenes most of the time... what I find funny about this is the fact that MC never gives up on trying to 'top' ML but always ends up losing in that aspect due to things just not working out the way he envisions...I'm pretty much roFL most of the time because of that.

For example, a moment when things go contrary to his plans:

Spoiler

This one time he managed to hypnotize ML into being on the bottom.... except ML just let MC go into astride position pfft... and he tearfully tried to beg ML into switching to another position because it's *cough* too intense but ML would just reply in an entranced way that he has to stay on bottom pfft... ?

The reviews were rather good so I tried to power through but the story doesn’t get better.

The first arc was the worst in terms of how many plot holes there are. It feels like the author decided the plot points and forcefully manoeuvred the story to fit into the plot.
Spoiler

ML saw MC kissing another man, and he knew OG-MC had been cheating for a week behind his back but ML could pretend nothing happened after hearing MC stand up for him. Also, ML told MC he heard MC’s words to OG-ML but MC conveniently forgot just so they could further misunderstand each other?

I don't really take this novel seriously, tho I can't say that it doesn't interest me knowing that I read this ti'l midnight lol I especially like the 4th world, tho that like gradually dropped when the ML forced himself on the MC again, idk if I'm going to continue this, I feel like I will just continue to disappoint myself. I've read a lot of novels with possessive MLs, tbh this was the reason why I chose to read this because I like that kind of trope, tho this... more>> is my first reading such an annoying character, atleast the MLs on another novels cared so much for the MCs and afraid that they might break them not like this ML who only know how to torment the MC haa. I like the translations, thank you for translating this, atleast I can have a light read when I'm bored lol (tho I will still give this 2 stars just for the translation) <<less

Definitely So Far So Good!

It's definitely different from many QT/World Hopping Novel I have ever read so far. Why? Because beside the System... ... more>>
Spoiler

There's another 2 who actually watch MC going through every world/novel he's in and always end up make ML fall for him. And those 2 are human while the System is not human.

[collapse]

And MC only has one big Goal/Mission why he does this which he found out since the 2nd arc.

MC is not OP or anything like that. He actually introduced as someone with weak Spiritual rank. Lots of big situation, he get help from the System. But MC is Pretty Enjoyable Character! He also a Foodie because [... ].

ML is not as crazy weird as the Summary said. But he does misunderstood MC's feelings since the beginning of almost every arc with Understandable Reasons!

ML is Possessive. But he's not Yandere. BUT in certain arcs, he does have Yandere tendency because his character setting or within reason! 4th arc Warning ahead!
Spoiler

His character setting in this arc is when (IF) he blackened he would slash/mutilate his victim who he kill. But because he doesn't blacken, he only create lab and do it on animal. But not in Psycho way! Then the animal meat would be eaten by him and MC. MC know what ML did.

[collapse]

This novel also different from many other because there's 2 different arcs who collided with each other! So Interesting!

Anyway, so far so good! Pray the story won't dissapoint me with the rest of the arc and ending. 🙏

Remembering again how hilarious our ML is with his Great Black Hole in his Brain. 🤣 I LOVE HIM!!! <<less

This is good enough I think. The misunderstanding sometimes frustrated me but it's nothing excessive. The ML most of the time was quite forceful so I don't feel particularly bad everytime MC misunderstood him. The MC avoidance was also frustrating for me, they live as husbands for 4 lifetimes, that was more or less 350+ years but he keep putting up resistance regarding his mission on ML. Though I understand his stance, considering ML's status in reality

Honestly, the first arc was what got me hooked onto this novel. The idea of this interstellar world with a general whose comatosised and then bringing in a cute MC delving into these mini virtual story worlds to save the ML as well as learning about ancient culture was a very interesting take on a novel. However, after the first arc, everything just starts going downhill where you get the feeling that the author had lost his/her wits and threw garbage ideas into the novel on the drop of the... more>> hat. I would definitely not call the relationship of the main leads 'healthy' or 'well developed' at all - it simply looked forced and the relationship seems to like living off of r*pe and the use of things such as aphrodisiac. The arcs were also getting very crappy and boring - it was more or less like a chore to get through the chapters especially starting from the 5th world.

In addition, looking at the other reviewers mentioning about how the ending wasn't even all that great, just brought the whole enthusiasm down alot for me. The translation was decent, but the story really let me down - dropped. <<less

It was good till the 5 arc, the one with the ancients where it just started getting boring. I tried holding on but the plot just started to feel watery and uninteresting. Even before the ML is kinda assertive in bedroom matters and instead of making a compromise, he kinda forces it onto to the MC who does enjoy it though. I am gonna drop this because this is just getting dragged on at this point.

As far as BL QTs, this is one of the much better ones. Personally, I love watching the process of MC & ML getting together / falling for each other rather than one-shot love, so I really appreciate how in this story the feelings do begin almost from scratch for ML at least (and even MC, it's not exactly eagerness). We see the process of them falling for each other anew, before ending up together. For this alone I'm willing to give this story an extra star.

It's a fun read, especially all of ML's misunderstandings and his own 'fill in the blanks'. It makes for some hilarious shenanigans. However it is also very frustrating, mainly on the MC's silliness and naivety.

As per the title, the ML in every world always manages to twist facts and concocts a whole story in his head to think that MC likes him. MC does, but MC wasn't actively chasing after ML or planning to get into a romantic relationship with him. It makes for some hilarious situations.

ML is always OP... more>> in every world, and I am so grateful for that cause without his OPness, MC would have just died in every world. Seriously. MC always takes everything lightly even when he knows the about the original story, and through that, just how scummy and manipulative certain characters are. And yet MC is still always just ehh it'll be fine what could go wrong?

One good thing is that MC does grow from the first world where he was incredibly naive to the point of absolute s*upidity. But even after his growth, he's still unbearably silly. Especially comparing it some other quick transmigration novels I enjoy. I suppose the main problem is that he's kind of the archetype of character that I really don't like, where they are silly and naive but everything always goes their way (mainly cause they're always so protected) but never realising that.

But it is nice and fresh that ML doesn't just not have his memories, his feelings get 'reset' in every world as well. He never starts out already liking the MC, he mainly just has positive impressions and feelings towards MC. In every world, he falls in love with MC all over again and that is so fresh and heart-warming.

My main core problem is really just with the MC. Especially in quick transmigration novels, the MC would have lived through multiple lifetimes. And not just normal lifetimes, but lifetimes of being part of the main story of novels. So they would have gone through multiple lifetimes of different plot lines, and still come out silly and naive. Which really speaks volumes as to just how silly they are. And every single time, MC never cares to completely resolve all threats that he knows is there, just thinking 'ah well this should be enough what more could happen, they wouldnt continue to do what they've been doing so far and would still do in the original plot line right. Of course not.' And this irregardless of already having gone through this multiple times. But of course it would happen again, even though the previous times MC was fine was really because of ML' s protection. ITS SO FRUSTRATING.

I also really dislike just how MC and ML have so much miscommunications. MC never just tells the ML, even though he's saying it right in his mind to us reader. Like can you just, I don't know, OPEN YOUR MOUTH? And MC is never very enthusiastic on wanting to papapa with the ML. He does like it (as readers we can see his inner thoughts and yes he does like it) , but is always just so hesitant on papapa-ing with the ML. It's off-putting, even more so as we as readers can read that he does like it and does want it, he's just always finding ways and excuses to put it off. But doesn't ever give a reason why too.

And the writing style of the author of not telling us important stuff until the last minute. It feels very implanted? Like it wasn't planned but they needed something so here it is. It feels quite forced. After everything seems resolved, they go oh here's thing thing that causing a problem but wasn't ever mentioned or even hinted at previously.

And in the last arc, the misunderstandings and miscommunications continue but this time even worse. And in the arc, MC's silliness just seems to be swept in in full force again, especially regarding a certain point.

About what happens in the arc. SPOILERS!!!
Spoiler

Ok so, ML tells MC he doesn't like him but there's a whole reason behind it. I really like this because it's so gut-wrenching for the MC. So MC considers removing his emotions and memories about the transmigrations. He doesn't go through with it but everyone thinks he did. ML then realises he does like MC but thinks its too late. So ML tries to protect from a distance. But even when the ML realises that MC still remembers, MC still rejects him saying that ML wasn't the guy he loved from the previous worlds. Only then did we get the revalation that MC hypnotized himself. Through the chapters in between when MC did it (we get a short description on MC thinking it through) and when ML realised it, there's not much mention of MC even truly thinking that ML isn't the same person. It just really feels like it came out of nowhere and was just convenient. What makes it feel even more so like a convenience is after that revalation and solving of it, MC just immediately forgives and gets together with the ML. Without even getting the reason why ML said that he doesn't like him in the first place. He just thinks oh its been so long ah well it's long over. Like, yes, it's been some time. But you're not even curious as to why? You can forgive him and still want to know the reason right??? And this is also what I mean by MC being too silly. He does this even to other things too, throughout the worlds even when things happen unexpectedly he just does oh well and doesn't ever thinks about how or why it happened in the first place. Which leads to it to happening again, shocked pikachu face.

[collapse]

Also, about MC's actions in the last arc that perfectly shows his silliness,
Spoiler

MC is due to receive a huge amount of money as payment. Before even receiving the payment, he goes and purchases things he can't afford. He can't even afford the robot helper he purchased (which fair enough it's a single item) but he also planned to view large houses while communicating using an arrogant tone. (Like the tone of oh I have a ton of money, so much money) Then the payment gets delayed and he panics. Its just so frustrating. Yes, you have a payment thats confirmed incoming. But they never gave you a date and in the end it was delayed. And MC just bought stuff he couldn't even afford before he received any payment. Anything could happen to delay payment, even when they're completely trustable (like we know they are). Bottomline is, it's common sense and basic financial sense to not spend money you don't currently have. Basically don't count your chickens before they hatch.

It just frustrates me so much cause he was in such a poor financial state. He has to get food money from his dad frequently, he couldn't even afford the robot helper (which would be so many time Ms cheaper than a large house). Yes, his family is fairly well-to-do, but he was living seperately with such finances for quite awhile. Its wasn't a sudden thing. And when he's promised a huge payment, he immediately jumps to already wanting to pay to buy a large house before even receiving payment. While in such poor financial state.

I really highly recommend this. The first chapter and I was already hooked. Its different from all those transmigration novels with a certain goal. Infact he's just testing the game worlds but hints of secret are scattered here and there. You can basically guess the secret soon too.

I really freakin love the Target. Tbh I'm really sick if those overbearing, cold MLs with facial paralysis.I like ones like the ML of QWFOD. Caring for the MC, obedient, extremely doting and no facial paralysis. And the ML of this one can... more>> be regarded like that so I like him sooooo much.

Thirdly the system, tbh the stereotypical novels have kind of annoying and cute systems who keep intervening and I like them but not much cause they can be annoying. After reading "Don't pick up boyfriends from tr*shbin" I fell in love with Liu-Laoshi and finally in this I found a system with a bit resemblance to him. It only appears when the MC calls and helps him with simple tasks when in peril but doesn't give him out of the world cheats and it seems innocent and polite too!

I like the MC too. He's not some naive cutie nor is he scheming. He's just honest and straightforward like a normal person and a big foodie.I'll give him a like for that.

In short, do pick this up cause its not angsty or OP. Its just normal romantic comedy woth world hopping! <<less

This quick transmigration novel is definitely one of the better ones. The overarching plot is rather interesting and so are the arcs, but I think what really makes this novel a great read is the sweet moments between MC and ML. This is definitely a novel that is more focused on the romance rather than action or adventure.

My favorite arc was the zombie apocalypse one. There were some arcs in between that kinda fell flat for me and I was a little annoyed that ML wouldn't let MC top at... more>> least once, even though MC wanted it so badly (I find that there's an imbalance in these kinds of relationships) so overall I would give this a 4.5 rather than a 5. <<less

just finished the first arc and loved this already. Will probably read other novels first while waiting for the rest to translate. Entering another arc without translation is pure torture and reminds me too much of my past chinese tests. Anws, love this novel so far. Gave it a 5 because although it seems to lack originality, there seems to be something deeper in this story. Can't wait to find out how the worlds are actually linked and why this system exists.

Ha, this just irks me off too much. The ML has a real big brain hole that whenever the MC tries to convey his real intentions and thoughts, he misunderstands it to such a degree, I had to doubt his IQ

... more>>
Spoiler

The first arc was ok.

But the second arc was too much. During this time, he was still missing the ML (from arc one; he doesn't know they all are the same person). When the ML was drunk, he tried to force the MC (he thought it was dream🙂) - MC could not get help from his system coz of Big A "censoring so that he won't feel uncomfortable". Though he managed to stop the other with the help of his housekeeper, when asked about this BigA, LittleB and the system, all three unhesitatingly threw the pot over MC's head saying it was his fault "letting things get belong the neck".

A few chapters later just as the MC finally managed to restrain the ML from his "he likes me so much" brainhole, he got drugged. And the 3 people who could have stopped didn't. Well, they were going to, after Little B and the system persuading Big A, but when they finally agreed, MC already drank it. To this BigA's response was "this is fate, now the target finally f*ck him". He does this just coz they both have a very high compatibility, and also "it doesn't matter since they will love each other anyways". And yeah, even in the first arc, they 'did it' for the first time when our MC was drugged🙂

This just made me want smash something. What kind of twisted logic is this!? Reading this just made me angry and uncomfortable. Just because they are the CP doesn't mean basic respect for your partner's thoughts and consent can be throw out the window.

[collapse]

Well, even after reading this if u don't mind, go head. It was "hilarious" how the ML makes upon his own small theatre from entirely unintentional and normal responses from our MC🙂

I only rated this 3stars for the efforts from the translators. Otherwise, this just 1.5/5 <<less

I just finished the first arc and I honestly don't know what to say, but as a QT s*ave, I do feel quite disappointed. Protagonist is too dense for my liking and ML is a manipulative bastard that forces MC, as I read I even wondered whether he actually loves MC or is just merely treating him as a possession. Big A and Little B are so f*cking suspicious that they can't get more suspicious, not to mention they keep trying to brainwash MC into having s*x with ML by... more>> telling him to just treat it as a game??

Both original protagonists are just cannon fodders and serve no real purposes. The story has no real meaningful depths to it and every major event is just explained in a brief two or three sentences, no careful planning or anything.

Update

What the actual f*ck? Why is the MC drugged and taken advantage of by the ML in every arc? I mean sure it's 'consensual' since the MC has feelings for the ML in the first world and so he's tolerating it in the other worlds, but this author is sick for thinking that it's okay to drug a person just because the feeling is mutual. Moreover, this ML is unwilling to be a bottom at all even tho the MC has already hinted at it countless times. I mean yeah it's kinda ridiculous to expect this in a danmei since the gong and shou are already dead set, but I feel weirded out by it. For me personally, it's just a position during s*x, so why be so stubborn? <<less
