The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Description

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

“Can’t I properly read stallion novels anymore!”

Shen Yuan transmigrated into someone who’d tormented the young male lead almost to death, the scum villain Shen Qingqiu.

It must be known, the original Shen Qingqiu ended up being carved alive by his disciple, Luo Binghe, into a human stick, a human stick!

Ten thousand “f*ck your moms” rampaged through Shen Qingqiu’s heart:

“It’s not that I don’t want to cling to the male lead’s thighs, but who made him so f*cking black. The type who seeks thousand-fold retribution!”

Why have all the female lead’s scenes been forcibly given to him.

Why, as a scum villain, does he need to constantly sacrifice himself, blocking knife and gun for the protagonist!

Shen Qingqiu: “…I think I can still save him, one more time.”

read this story, it definitely is worth your time. The uke is hilarious, he is just awesome, I love how mxtx creatively makes fun of a novel genre and at the same time focuses on the author's struggles and the sh*t he has to deal with and face. To have so many people have such high expectations of you is scary, you can't satisfy them all, they will keep criticizing things, that poor author gives up on his ideas and goes with the flow, does what his reader's want from him. This story is creative, funny and well written, again all characters play a great role in the story none of them are unimportant and left out. I have a few things to say on Luo Binghe's behalf, he is just like Hua Cheng, devoted to his Uke and idolizes him. Luo Binghe might be a yandere but again it's all because his Shizun was the only person to have cared for him and shown him kindness besides his adoptive mother. He too was a nobody but found something to live for, I don't blame him for being so jealous and overprotective of his shizun<3

Btw guys thank you so much for translating these novels, you are the true angles here, I can't thank you enough, you deserve the world, these... more>> stories mean a lot to me and for so many others it's a sweet escape from reality. MXTX thank you too <3 I'm not mentally stable and lack the ability to feel emotions, I've been like this for a while but your stories made me feel things I've long since forgotten <3 people all have different opinions and I highly respect it, but even if your stories are flawed I don't care, those who gave you a 1 star rating are right, you are truly the only shinning star here <3 I became a fan of Xianxia BL novels thanks to you. <<less

Oh man. This was a rollercoaster for me. I read this when it first came out and stopped when things got too angsty for me to handle (I was too impatient). Came back to this two years later to finish. Sometimes the story might have dragged too much, so once in a while I started to skim.

I really liked the interaction between Shen qingqiu and Luo binghe, though I must warn there are a lot of one sided misunderstandings caused by assumptions and lack of communication between the two. Their... more>> first time doing it also wasn't so great...

Spoiler

ML kind of r*ped MC? I mean MC let him but it was really painful and he def didn't want that...I guess the excuse for it is that ML isn't in his right mind at the time and was mad and insane..

[collapse]

I think the development of the characters were pretty good. It was quite heart wretching towards the end because some characters got closure and some did not.

It was nice how some plot holes were filled up and we got some answers for questions posed throughout the novel. The overall translations were top notch and the footnotes are plentiful and helpful. BC translations (who took over) are always great. Props to them. I've also read their other translations. <<less

Out of MXTX's work, this is her earliest and it's not surprising. That's not to say that this is a bad story, only that it is simplistic and straightforward. There is no insightful foreshadowing, no earth-shattering romance nor are there philosophical messages hidden throughout the piece.
What it does have is a heartwarming tale of protection and admiration.

Something I would wish for is more of an explanation on Shen Yuan's character and personality. His realisation of his love for Luo Bing He could also be expounded on because that happened... more>> a little out of the sudden.

Other than that, this is a very worthy read :) <<less

It was a little bit silly but I really enjoyed it. ^^ Even though some of the plot twists near the end were unnecesary in my opinion, the crazily good character (s) development and real depth of characters and relationships, also some of the mysteries, background stories slowly unraveling etc balanced it nicely.

The concept of the story was funny and original too. Well, silly sometimes but it was great ride overall..)

There's so many reviews on this novel but I'm gonna throw my own 2 cents in.

So this is my first MXTX novel, I've heard all the hype about this author and the stories they write. The fanart alone is f*cking phenomenal. So I came in with high expectations and I wasn't disappointed (but I'm also still not sure why it's so hype, I get that these are pretty cool but it's not like they are god-tier).

It's a good story about disciple (ML) falling in love with their Shizun (MC). Our... more>> MC is a transmigrator who ends up in a stallion novel, and is a character who would abuse the ML at every turn before ML got OP and turned MC's character into a human stick. Our MC wants to hug the golden thigh and wash away all the bad he's done, which in turn leads to a compelling (albeit sometimes ridiculous) journey of how the MC fills in all the female roles throughout the story.

Overall, it was a fun read, but man, some parts I had to skim because it would get too ridiculous for me, but MC is a capable person who seems cool on the outside but is screaming "what the f*ck" internally on repeat. ML is a loyal puppy, sticky and resilient in getting his shizun coddle him. I wouldn't call him yandere from my perspective he's like on the lowest pole for it.

The reason it got 4 stars and not 5 was because some moments were just.... too annoying for me. Like the big finale with the "Boss" etc etc. Also the AMOUNT OF MISCOMMUNICATION had me reeling. The extra stories are great though. <<less

Read this immediately after Heaven Official's Blessing... (MXTX, you're the man?)

But, I dunno... MC was only all about the system and sticking to 'the original stallion novel'. He was oblivious to ML's feelings and only realised it halfway through the novel. His reaction? Weirded/grossed out, goosebumps, raised fine hairs and run away from ml. He's a scum MC whose main role was to hurt ML again and again and drive him to the edge. ?.
Anyways, I still enjoyed the plot, it was easy to read, hilarious and... more>> action filled.
To sum it up: My fujoshi heart ain't satisfied but my adventurous bones are.

Also, re the 1st time s*x scene:

Spoiler

It was the most truthful and realistic portrayal of a first time interc**rse scene, imo. And some wrote, it was a r*pe scene, but I disagree. MC knew it was going to happen and was ready for it. ML was possesed when he did the deed and wasn't aware. Shen Qingqiu patted his back sporadically. "This master knows. This master is willing."

PS: Thank you, Translators <<less

From the reviews that I have seen, most people seemed to have really liked this book so I apologize on having to burst the bubble with this review of 3 stars. Now, I get that this is the author's first novel and I liked the idea of it and the plot but I just wished that the characters would have more personality to them.

Such as the side characters and honestly just Luo BingHe in general. I didn't like the main couple because, honestly, BingHe is such a yandere that it... more>> annoyed me at some point. I love a good possessive seme but not to the point where they'll harm their loved one in any way. In all honesty, I did have fun shipping MC with a side character that actually cared and supported him. <<less

I really like MXTX's stories. They have a bit of everything - romance, comedy, angst... When it funny, it's really funny and I found myself giggling crazily. It also pulls at the heartstrings. A few times dust got into my eyes and made them water. I would say that this novel is a few steps lower than Founder of Diabolism in storytelling and world building. There were just a some things that were not adequately explained, according to me. It's also not as angsty as Heaven Official's Blessing. It was... more>> a bit more superficial in tone and content than the other two novels.

I can't make up my mind if I liked the MC's ambiguous feelings towards the ML. While the fujoshi in me wanted him to admit that he likes the ML and to face his own feelings, I totally understand his reluctance and thick-headedness. A person who's thought of himself as straight all his life suddenly has to confront the ML's feelings for him, while he himself has feelings stronger than that of a teacher towards his disciple. The novel could have explored this struggle a bit more. But I guess the tone of the entire novel is light, and exploring deeper and heavier feelings would have been incongruous.

In all, I enjoyed reading it, and would definitely recommend it! <<less

If I understand correctly this is MXTX's first novel, and I think that the 'first novel' feeling comes across in the writing. It feels like something that was written mostly for the author and not for the audience. I found the characters to be a little frustrating in their way of thinking a lot of times, but regardless, I still took a liking to them. Overall, I really like the sappy cliches written in the story. I think the ending was not very satisfying, but I quite liked the extra... more>> chapters including Mo Beijun. <<less

One of my first and favorite novels. It's has good plot and many humour accompanied suffering. I love MC's character, how he acting and trying to solve problems. ML is sweet child (with hard past) and even when he growns up he stays bun who loves his teacher. It's amusing how the main evil of their cultivation world so sticky and cute with his beloved. Difference obviously haha. It's really tragically at some moments also is beautiful. And most I like comedy at the novel. I was laugh all the... more>> time. <<less

I really love this novel, but I suffered so much reading.

This author is so bad, making me suffer countless times and giving so few refreshments. But I really love her for writing so many fantastic stories!

I don't remember a single transmigration, bl or het, that I've finished before this one. Its starts out great and I'm hooked, but the MC's obliviousness or downright s*upidity would annoy me, ML's abusive or doting attitudes would prove to be too sickening to continue, or it might just have too many chapter where I don't see development. As you can tell, it's freaking hard to please me.

This novel is freaking PHENOMENAL. Yo, you know it's good when even after it's done, this loyal a** fandom writes a whole bunch... more>> of fanfics. What's even more shocking is that the FANFICTION is BOMB too. Like, the author has succeeded in creating a whole new world for their characters. I've only ever seen this in the HP books, and One Peice anime.

And it couldn't have been possible for me to be blessed like this if it wasn't for the translators. Thank you so much. <<less

luo bingmei is an S, which..... okay lol I guess for the comedic effect? MXTX's first novel has its flaws but definitely a good read. I cried during one part and I never cry when reading books or watching movies. <<less

One of the best I've read, the MC is quite enjoyable even though very dense haha.

The story is has a very unique perspective which makes it very interesting to read.

But I stopped around chapter 55 as I couldn't handle the sudden serious psychological twistedness the story was taking, as it is not my cup of tea.

regardless the story, the pacing and development, everything is well put together.

Spoiler

if I had to say one thing that I found a little tiny insy binsy bit annoying, it was how the MC handled certain things like when he had to throw ML into the abyss he could've explained certain things (even if he said survive or live the message would've been given) to lessen the amount of hurt as it was clearly within his capabilities. I know it would've gone against the story setting but I couldn't think of any reason for him not to do so as he wanted to maintain a good relationship with ML. Even when he came back if the MC would've just mentioned the special sword's name, it would've have hinted towards that he had other reasons to throw ML into the abyss rather than hate. Again I know I'm being nitpicky, it just annoyed me a little bit.

Telling an addictive tale of a mentor, who, at the start of the novel is an unsuspecting reader that was transmigrated into a novel he was reading, and the protagonist.

The protagonist, Luo Binghe, was abused by the original Shen Qing Qiu, the body the reader now possesses, and it was no wonder that he died by Luo's hand. Shen Qing Qiu, the reader, his mission, in addition to prevent his death, is to set the plot into motion so the things that happen in the novel still do, only in... more>> a different way.

The premise it's built on is a trope explored by many, but the mentor-disciple relationship here, in addition to the setting and the supporting characters, is brilliantly executed, as are all the others I'm sure, but they don't really call to me as much as TSVSSS does, of this trope I mean.

The comedic undertone present is infectious, as do all her stories make me laugh, and the development between the two is also real. As Shen Qing Qiu goes to painstaking lengths to protect the protagonist and is kind to him due to the paternal deprivation he experienced early on, naturally he would open up to Shen Qing Qiu. Though he would be a lot nicer if it weren't for the damn system interfering in the moments he (Luo) invites Shen to tell him what he really believes. This, naturally, makes Luo very angry, (who wouldn't be?) and so many misunderstandings occur.

The pacing is slow, sort of Slice of Life-ish, though there is action present, and drama and the time skips were necessary, who wasn't waiting for the moment Luo surfaces all handsome and grown, but although it is still too early to tell whether or not it would keep it up, based on what I've already read, I am very much loving it.

Also, hats off to the translators for meeting the deadlines and fast tracking it, I almost would've dropped it since I couldn't find any raws but I guess I could look forward to this each week. Thank you!

Again, if your not really sure whether or not you should read it's up to you, really, but if even one percent of your fibre says you should, go for it, see it through, and you might not really regret it. <<less

Definitely one of my favorite bl stories, so sad that it's going to end soon...

The characters are multidimensional, the plot twists are actually unexpected, the whole story is original! If you read bl but not this, then I don't know what you're doing with your life.
