The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

Description

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

An internet troll who wanted attention, the reader criticized his favorite web novel, saying: “The protagonist is dumb and the author is s*upid.”

Author: “…Got it.”

Unfortunately for him, the author actually listened to his (troll) feedback. The formerly lighthearted tale of a cute harem master suddenly became super dark and edgy. The reader could only helplessly look on as the protagonist was abused and betrayed, finally embarking on the road to becoming completely evil. Everything was a mess!

After that the reader transmigrated into a strange world. How come the person in front of him looks like the protagonist (evil undead version)? Just what is going on?!

Note: Du Zhe (读者 meaning Reader) and Du Ze (杜泽 the character’s name) sound almost the same

Idk even the smut scenes aren’t enough for me to continue. Feels like a Legendary Master’s Wife sort of plot with the whole prophecy & multiple bloodlines awakening to make one hella OP character. But it’s just not clicking with me. The whole deaf & terrible vision MC is relatable & I like how it down-to-earth it makes him seem. However, I’m not vibing with the ML at all! I don’t think I have the strength to continue on...

The ML revenge is pretty satisfying, the MC is totally brainless but the romance was good enough.

... more>>
Spoiler

The ending is a BE disguised as a HE and is really bitter with the ML suffering a lot. One thing that made me really mad is that there's NTR at the ending, the ML can't find the MC, so he creates androids with the same appearance as him to temporarily replace him, (the androids are sentient and 100% like normal people) so it's like he creates a harem for him but uses the excuse of the MC being the one he really loves. Kinda scummy ngl.

Tragic backstory possessive ML x otaku MC is how I would describe em. A general western fantasy world, the MC is a reader and transmigrates into the story.
The ML is like super op it reminds me of legendary masters wife tbh. The story went mostly smooth for the ML after he met the MC with a few occasional bumps. Except for like the near end where everything goes to shit. But I don’t rlly get how the ML
Spoiler

goes to the real world wtf

Hmmmm...

This is the novel that bring me to novelupdates. It was the time when MDZS not as big as it is, and I need some BL quick fix. I stumble upon this novel, and for a danmei beginner, it was such a delight.

But, after read many delicious novel, I found this novel a bit cringefest. Sure, the deaf MC quite memorable. But other than that? There's nothing memorable. And like other reviewer point out, the plot armor is too thick.

I'll give this novel 3/5 just for the sake of nostalgia.

It was okay.

I am still not through, but there are a lot of points that just make me uncomfortable. Like when you live in a room, that has some unfinished places, but your bed is new and comfortable, so you ignore it somehow, but you cannot let go of this uncomfortable anxious feeling, as you know and are reminded of all the "loose ends" that make it hard for you to "settle down".

This story has amazing potential, but I can see, because of the language that has been directly tried... more>> to translate from Chinese into English (which does not work really, as you have to properly translate it not just words, but also meaning that is understood different. Thus the story always one very Chapter has some awkward parts, that, ay be only people with Chinese knowledge understand.)

Then there are the inconsistencies. The story has small parts where it contradicts itself. Like (spoiler!) in the elv city Du Ze was completely healed of any ailments he had. He could hear and see without issues. But then later in the Star Empir, while he was getting ready for the stage, he mentions his glasses and how he cannot see without them. You could argue, that it is because of the midnight reset rule he has. But in the Elf City he was alright for days. And said he does not need his hearing aid anymore and just put it in his pocket etc.

Apart from that, yes a person can be very "slow". But no one, that is not battle experienced in a special way (like spies or assassins), can be super relaxed, while someone kidnaps you in the middle of day (enoch in star empire). I hope that at least the torture he went through in the Lost Land with the Lich Xiu will be discussed at some point. Sure, Du Ze can feel a misplaced sens of guilt for Xiu's life mishaps. But, it is not actually his fault. The author is the one to make decisions. He was just some anonymous no body to the author out of hundred of people, not his editor. Xiu as of now, does not know about Du Ze's internal chaos about everything, so he should at least, after "falling in love" be thinking about how he treated the person he wants a relationship with. As of now it feel slike he is just obsessed with an object.

Anyway, it is a good light read I guess. But for someone like me, I feel sad that something with such potential has such bad execution. It could have been awesome, especially with more slow build that is delivered properly (because Xiu was suddenly "boom, ah I love him" one day after just knowing him for a bit. A person that has been betrayed so often and tortured and ens*aved someone cannot so easily be convinced of something as foreign to him as love, while never being able to rest and think properly because of all the activity around and his own weird ass body that keeps suprising him).

I will give this only 3 stars. Not sure if I want to continue reading as well... but people with experience with chinese manwha and who have nothing against the listed things and (apparently promised ambiguous s*x scenes etc.), should give it a try I guess. <<less

This story is really good! The title may seem a cliche but its that twist in cliche that make the story a whole new type... I really enjoyed this one. Even though I don't like yanderes I really liked xiu cause like MC I can actually get from where he is coming. The best part is the ending though! It was really good as I was really anxious how the author will do what he/she hinted. But it turned out beautifully!

I just couldn't stop reading! I finished the whole story in 2 days!

By the end of the book I was crying of happiness, it's well written and well translated.

I super recommend this BL!

I say it's a better version of scum villain's self saving system. They both had a similar style but this one made more sense/better executed. I think I personally don't like this style of storytelling very much which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars, but if you like transmigration + making fun of chinese story tropes (apparently they're called stallion novels), this is the book for you.

This is ur typical QT into a novel story wit a lil angst. It's one of the 1st BL novels I read and leave an impression on me due to the love story and the wonderful smutty scenes (he he he).

Spoiler

But honestly, the part before the ending was quite angsty. It made my heart ache.I could understand the despair and desperation the ML felt while searching for the MC!It took thousands of years damn it!!!!!!

[collapse]

But luckily it's a HE followed by great smutty ending ?

One of the best stories I've read. I really enjoyed this. Do not let the negative reviews discourage you from reading this story. If you're a person like me that appreciate a good plot with smut and a happy ending. Then this story is for you. I will like it if some will recommend me a good story. I don't mind as long as there's one smut chapter.

This is my second read of this novel and man, you just don't get tired of this story.

The character's development is amazing. Their transition and relationship building is solid and awesome.

I just wished there could be more extras, like Du Ze getting pregnant since the creative control has been passed on to Xiu.

Very enjoyable story. Strong start and story feels quick pace but isn't as it always has layers of mystery. Meet new interesting characters and each relating to the ML one way or another and see a lot of them again. Near the end it gets a little boring as the story tries to shove as much s*x as possible since it's ending so if your looking for R-18 it's mostly by the end.

It had a lot of world building which is understandable as MC and ML explore a lot but... more>> I personally found the explanations boring and skimmed most of that info, didn't affect the story (at least for me) one bit.

My favourites part about this novel is the ending and end with the antagonist. Through out the story I had a lot of questions, I expected important questions to be answered or some unsatisfying results but it gave me all that I desired and a lovely epilogue wrapping up the story wonderfully. <<less

To start off, I would probably not read this story over again. It was interesting, but the kind of interesting that you feel when you see something on TV as you're flipping through the channels to look for something to watch and finally land on something 'interesting' enough to keep your attention for long enough. It's not that it feels lacking in the plot, but for me the characters are just not people that I can become deeply attached too. Usually when I read a story I can imagine a... more>> world and the characters acting out in them but it was really hard for me to do that with this story. I would say that this story would be good for passing the time when you have nothing else to read. <<less

I really loved this novel, it was slow and a bit boring at first but soon got interesting. The H scenes were very steamy. But my favourite was the love, belief and devotion the MC has for the ml. And I loved the small POV of the ML who suffered terribly and thought ... more>>

That Du Ze was like the warm sunlight melting the frost from the window

[collapse]

It was steamy, it was action-packed, it was fluffy, it was possessive, it was romantic. It hit all my moe points (a term I learned from that cute silly reader) 5/5 stars. I can't wait to read the other translations of BC Novels and any future translations. Their translations are very professional to me and make the novel easy to read and any term I didn't understand they put in a little information bubble. <<less

this novel just might not be my cup of tea. I found that the story dragged a bit, almost dropped it. I guess I just don't like the type of MC in this story, and I don't particularly like the ML too (too OP it's kinda unreal). the s*x scenes were a turnoff as MC always seemed to be in a lot of pain... I guess you will enjoy this story a lot if you really enjoy fantasy and extreme OPness of ML. MC is too average imo to match... more>> up to ML. <<less

Very good world building, cute twisted characters and a payoff ending. It was exactly what I wanted it to be, though the ending felt a little rushed in the last chapter and the epilogues were boring apart from the sexy times~ those were always really well portrayed! Satisfying read and one of my favourites for the genre.
