Rebirth of a Cannon Fodder from a Novel

Description

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

As the only girl born in the four generations of the Mo family – a prestigious and powerful family in Hua Xia – Mo Liu Gui has been adored since the day she was born. She is gorgeous, naive and intelligent. Behind her is the noble Mo family and by her side are countless excellent pursuers. Whether in career or relationships, she’s the heaven born life winner.

It’s a pity that Mo Di is not Mo Liu Gui but a tragic contrast of what one would call life winner.

He has been disliked by everyone in the Mo family since the day he was born. When he left the incubator, the whole family was competing for his sister but left him in the hospital corridor overnight. He never took a sip of his mother’s milk because it was just enough to feed one child. He has not been held by his father once because his father was extremely disgusted with the culprit who robbed his darling of nutrition in their mother’s womb.

His five brothers never looked him in the eye. When he was six years old, they even ganged up to beat him till he had a fractured right leg which almost left him permanently disabled, all because he scored first place in his grade while his sister scored third, making Mo Liu Gui sad to the point of crying.

Countless scolding, neglect, double standard treatment, and even abuse in the name of education have been habitually done to Mo Di. Finally one day, the Mo Di who has been soft and obedient for eighteen years turned black.

He was no longer a soft and sensible man but had become gloomy and aggressive. He ran away from home, started his own company and made new friends. Everything is booming but when his company was about to go public, he was found by the Mo family. During a struggle with Mo Liu Gui who was asking him to come home, she fell and almost had a miscarriage. This incited everyone’s anger and they forced him into a mental hospital.

In the end, he died on his 25th birthday…
Afterwards, he was reborn.

Illogical and brainless with stale face slapping. Characters are s*upid and everything is just strange.

The sister has a halo that makes everyone who comes in contact with her s*upid. Which makes them all mean to MC. So he decides to take revenge against them all.

But I have a few problems with MC,

... more>>
Spoiler

he was a weak child but after coming back suddenly he’s strong and knows how to fight?? Isn’t your body still weak? Like he doesn’t train or anything?? And they don’t even say when he learned that it’s just there, but he also had the time to learn coding (which also makes him a master hacker because of course.) and he does this thing were he switch’s from traumatized to pure psycho (which I allow cuz that’s the only thing that makes sense to me in all of this)

[collapse]

and I cannot just accept the MC and ML relationship at face value because

Spoiler

MC is literally using Ml, he finds out ML is slightly attracted to him and so he ups he’s game by 200% to make sure the he stays on his side. Nothing to show he actually likes ML so far.

[collapse]

Spoiler

and then there was a part where MC held a grudge for seemingly no reason?? He finds one of FL cannon fodder men and he decides to leave him bleeding because “he hated them all” but later explains that he didn’t even do anything to him and had a bad ending like wth. Why are you making enemies for no reason then?? Oh “because he liked your sister”.

[collapse]

Anyways the point is I found this super unsatisfying, because the characters are so brain dead and boring that the face slapping is basically just pointing out how dumb they are. <<less

Revenge-oriented rebirth novel where the MC has been suppressed by his older white lotus sister all his life — who everyone loves and cares for to an unrealistic degree. After dying in a mental hospital and being forced to undergo torture, the Reborn MC has blackened to the extreme. All he cares for In the beginning is getting revenge. Which leads to lots of face slapping!

As for the ML, he’s a passerby character in the original novel that ends up being the MC’s backer in this life~

CHARACTERS: 7.5/10

In terms of... more>> the main CP and the supportive casts (MC and ML’s friends), the characterizations were pretty compelling. There’s a lot of them, so some characters had a tendency of disappearing from view, but they’re all very lively and likable! There’s no doubt that the cannon fodder characters on the antagonist’s side are braid dead tho LMAO. There’s an explanation at the end, but it’s a “twist-ending” kind of explanation that’s barely covered.

Mo Di (MC)

The reborn MC! He’s pretty cold at first, and for good reason. His family’s treatment of him in the previous life is so crazy that it’s only reasonable that he’s blackened to an extreme degree. Even so, he’s not an irredeemable character. He grows as the story goes along and starts to reveal the softness and purity that his family ruthlessly suppressed in his last life.

Mu Tian Heng (ML)

An overbearing CEO with a soft and human side! I really like him as a character. He definitely is similar to the generic ML stereotypes on the surface, but the author gives him a measure of liveliness that makes him seem more human! Opposite of the MC, his character development mostly relies on internal conflicts. As he’s 11 years older than the originally underage MC!

ROMANCE: 9/10

This is a feel good type of romance. In terms of dynamics, it’s pretty average. But the sweetness of the development makes up for it! Oh, and there’s also several side CPs, but they’re not covered as much.

SETTING: 7/10

This is a modern setting with some fantasy elements. A lot of the world settings aren’t revealed until the end (too bad, I think it would have been more interesting if the author introduced those earlier!) So most of the worldbuilding is actually based on character backgrounds. Admittedly, those are not bad. But as mentioned, the brain dead cannon fodder with unreasonable thought processes actually harmed the story a lot. I suggest you read it with that in mind (as in, read it knowing that there’s no curing these people!)

PLOT: 7.5/10

This plot relies a lot on brain dead cannon fodder and lucky conveniences (plot armor for the MC). So I can’t exactly call it well executed. BUT! That’s not what you should be reading it for anyway. Read it for the drama and the face-slapping! This story has a lot of that LOL! Also read it for the sweet and sappy romance!

RATING: 3.5/5

I read this till the very end! So my thoughts on it are pretty positive, regardless of the many faults that it has. If you’re looking for a feel-good, weak-to-strong revenge story, then this is it for you! Just make sure to remember not to take the cannon fodder seriously, LOL they’re just there to serve as scum for the MC to clean up. It’s more fun to read if you just ignore their outrageousness from the very beginning — rather than letting yourself grow irritated by it~

RANDOM THOUGHTS:

  • Personal Enjoyment: 4/5 Not bad at all! I don’t think it’s for everyone. It can be a bit twisted and it’s very melodramatic, but it’s a fun read in general.
  • Literary Level: The author certainly missed the mark at times. There were inconsistencies in the text, forgotten characters, and the plot itself could have used a bit of editing to be more fun. But I enjoyed their characters a lot! Pacing was pretty good too! So, 3/5! (The TL for this is good! Very readable~)
  • Heat Level: 1/5. Kisses and some light petting! Nothing else that is even remotely suggestive LOLOL.
  • Drama Level 10000/5. To the roof!!

This novel is amazing. As far as I read them, it's still about how brainless is MC's family.

And I super loved our MC, he's smart, but not OP. He still have to depend on ML to take revenge.

I think everyone think the same as me, about MC's sister, she's f*cling annoying.

... more>>
Spoiler

Fortunately, our ML is not someone who abused MC in the novel, not even in slightest. He's like, cannon fodder with extremely rich. Cuz, before our MC rebirth, our ML also become someone useless with cripples leg

[collapse]

I don't care much about logic in this novel cuz I like them. <<less

I think that this novel deserves higher ratings. The thing is that in the beginning, the story seems too illogical, and one can't understand why the MC must suffer so much; it's undeserved, cruel, and most importantly, there is no reasonable justification. But in the later chapters, everything is explained, there is a big plot twist, and the story not only makes sense but becomes truly interesting.... more>>
Spoiler

This is a major spoiler! In the first chapter, readers are told that MC is character of the novel. The main protagonist of this novel is his twin sister, and she has a protagonist halo, whereas he is only cannon fodder who exists to prove how good his sister is and how much love she receives in comparison to him. That reason wasn't enough to explain the actions of the MC family; they were simply unreasonable and vicious. MC suffered too much. I think that's why most readers did not finish reading. It was hard to read how badly they treated MC. But in the latest chapters, it is revealed that MC's sister transmigrated from the real world. At first, this novel was BL, and MC was the real protagonist, but because the transmigrated woman was homophobic, hated the original, very popular novel, and couldn't stand MC, she, with help from the system, destroyed the plot. She deliberately tortured MC and caused his death. Because of the system's help, everyone adored her and discriminated against MC without any reason. When MC was reborn (in order to not spoil everything completely, I won't say why he was reborn, but it was explained reasonably), the world itself was trying to reserve its natural course. I think this is one of the reasons why MC was sometimes really lucky and avoided disaster. So even though at first the story seemed too chaotic and illogical, everything was explained reasonably. It's just that the author gave an explanation too late, so some readers lost their patience. The story mainly focuses on revenge, MC's relationship with ML, and, the development of MC's company. Personally, I don't think that there is something wrong with that.

[collapse]
To be honest, at first I kept reading because the novel is well written and the translation is very good (I mean really, really good, which is a rarity). The MC family was too irrational and biased, so much so that I wanted to stop reading. But at the same time, I loved MC and ML. At first, it seems that the MC has blackened and that he is cruel, calculating, and cunning, but as the story develops, one can see that he is kind too; he is willing to help others, and most importantly, he will never sacrifice innocent people for his revenge. ML is often called the old beast because MC is much younger than him, but he is considerable and dotes on MC. On top of that, the interactions between them were well written. The side characters were also cute and lovable. So because of that, I kept reading, and I am glad that I finished it.

I really loved the story; it has a few interesting plot twists, and the ending was touching. It is well-written; there is a lot of drama, but things aren't dragged out; the novel is fast-paced; and at the end, the MC gets his revenge. Everyone got what they deserved. For this genre, I think it is pretty decent work, and I would recommend it. <<less

I decided to leave a review bc of too many 1 star reviews. Its true that this novel has a lot of plot holes but it is expected bc it is a dog blood novel. This is not the best novel that should get 5 stars but its not bad to the point of 1 star. The face slaps are very satisfying. If you are looking for dog blood face-slapping story with perfect seme and dont really care it make sense or not, then this is for you. Personally, the... more>> translation is very good and I really really enjoy the story. (I would give 4.1/5 cuz this is too fictional) <<less

Commenting just to rebut on user milafil's review. Please don't review if you haven't finished the story because all those s*upid "common sense" holes are actually discussed and explained in the end.

Anywaysn as someone whose completed the novel, if you love transmigration, face slapping and fluff, this is a good novel. There are some plotholes but it doesn't really have a major effect on the overall story. Plot is good, especially loved the reunited lovers tag of this one hehe! The relationship of the two is so trusting and cute,... more>> it's really just dog food! And the beast ML lmaoooo!! Pls read, its good. A 4.5/5 review from someone whose read about majority of the 4 stars rating on BL novels on novelupdates. <<less

Uh, just wanted to come by cuz of all the 1 stars. I initially didn't expect this to be any good because of the reviews. But it wasn't half-bad. Yes, the villains were caricature-like and there was way too much dog blood. But that was the point of the novel. It was absurd and nonsensical for him suffer because of plot. Hence, we get a very nice and cathartic explanation for why the Mo family is so braindead. I had wayyy too much fun reading about the face slaps but... more>> it was entirely due to how captivating the main characters and supporting charas were. They were very, very good.

And I disagree with people saying that female characters were vilified in this novel. MC had female friends defending him and calling out the villainess on her white lotus shit. Yes, the main antagonist happens to be female but there were also many male antagonists as well. I have seen many normal women depicted in the novel, so it's a total lie that female charas were vilified. Anyway, MC also used any means necessary to get his revenge - including sometimes being more white lotus than the bit*h sister. However, he only did that like, 2 times? Just to get out of a cinch. Also, MC does use ML at the beginning, but he becomes sincere later. Don't worry, he's not a scumbag.

Also, about how MC has fighting abilities, it was stated repeatedly, at least 3 times as far as I remember that he honed his anti reconnaissance while evading the goons sent by Qin family for years. He didn't immediately get caught after he left the Mo family in last life. Also, he died so miserably because he was tortured for years and drugged and his mind broken and then he got involved in the in patient riot. Expect him to have peak fighting abilities in that state? How is that even humanly possible? It's like those reviewers came to conclusions after skimming chapters and gave a 1 star based on their fuzzy impressions. Anyway, a lot of the negative reviews are baseless or the issues mentioned therein straight out have positive and reasonable explanations for being the way they were. Just read with an open mind. Anyway, let me just rant about the bit*h sister now, thank you:

Spoiler

Uh, so she's this homophobic sl*t who barges into particularly ordinary BL novel and turns it into this absolutely sickening wish fulfillment novel. I mean, she's so disgusting. What gives her the face to believe that she is the center of the world? Picking on an infant. Abusing him, torturing and trampling on his psyche is borderline psychopathic behavior. Just because he's the protagonist, she has so much malice towards him? How can she live with herself? She's so nauseating. All for what? Just because he's gay? Ugh. I was so mad after the reveal. There was also the explanation for her behavior which I found particularly realistic. She got too into the character. The excessive praise and indulgence made her psyche totally distorted. She honestly believes that everything revolves around her. Such a hypocritical white lotus b*tch. Ugh. I also found it particularly happy when her influence on the world was removed and her original partner immediately felt like he ate sh*t because he was so obsessed with such a nasty person. Hahaha.

Wow~ this novel is really incredible. Can't help but praise author-sama for displaying a great effort on protraying how MC was tortured physically and mentally.

And this novel is beyond the level of common Sense. Hahaha, but its has great plot line and I like how the face slapping was done.

What I just want to ask is...

... more>> MC was turtured physically from the very young age but he didn't get any scar???

Infact MC and ML didn't need to do all of that. They just have to picture MC's body full of scar, and Sue them for child abuse after cutting ties. MC was still underage when that happens. If they did that, MC didn't need to experience that slander and critisms in the internet.

Recommended for people who like to have motivation. You're blood will boil reading this novel. So much that I want to drop it just by reading first few chapters. But because the desire to seek Justice for our protagonists, bare with it and continued. Anyway MC and ml's interaction is super fluffy.

I must say most characters in this book are brainless, especially the Mo family. All Liu Gui needs to do is to cry, then all of them will abuse our MC.

Follow the journey of MC being blamed for all the smallest nonsense reason for 70% of the book. Thank god there is our sugar daddy ML and MC's perfectly functional brain, so they can counterattack the white lotus Liu Gui.

But still, I feel unsatisfied with the revenge. I feel like they haven't suffered enough and they don't even feel the... more>> slightest guilt (for most of he Mo family).

If you are looking for a fluffy fluffy story, this ain't it.

And the reason why all the people love Liu Gui brainlessly is because:

Spoiler

in the first life, Liu Gui is actually a transmigrator, and Mo Di's world is a book that she's reading. The MC of the book is Mo Di and Mu Tianheng.

Because she's disgusted with homosexuality, she gained a system that basically makes her protagonist halo so strong and shinier than an oily bald head.

But, this Mary Sue version of the book makes other readers unsatisfied. So people starts to write fanfictions where Mo Di live happily ever after. Because the fans of the fanfiction are higher than the Mary Sue version, Mo Di gained a second chance.

This novel is ridiculous hahahhahahahah

Sigh

I'm dropping at this chapter because I just don't feel continuing reading this book. My problem does not stem from most people complaints about how brainless the people in the story are and how they were unreasonable and thus giving off unrealistic vibe. But from the get go, I already know that there was something going on behind, on how it was so bizarre that the MC faced such s*upid and dense persecution from his blood family. As I've read some similar books about enemies gold finger manipulating... more>> the affections of the people around her, and boy I didn't knew I was correct with that in this book.

This book by certain standards was not to my liking but I still continue reading the book because I wanted to see how he'll get revenge and torture back her family. The premise was very interesting to be honest. I like the part where there was conviction to get back to those who hurt him and how he's gonna use the things he learned from his past life to his advantage in this new life. But boy, I was disappointed with the execution itself. I was not amazed on how he did things this life. He tolerated being abused, helpless, assaulted and scheme again and again. He did have some plans to help himself but I was so disappointed by how inept and incompetent he was with dealing with this things. There are certain ways to alleviate his situation but I feel that he's being less smart on how he should do things. Like he got tons of enemies and if I was in his position I will pull the root first of this enemies as they were not that powerful yet. I will also plan so many contingency plans to protect myself in various things that happen in the past life. He got a hacking skills and information for the future, that was so enough to overturn this people but it was not acted and it felt like the MC will only act when problem occurs and he still do risky plans involving his safety with only minimal results.

He got information! He can hack information! That is a powerful card to overturn the power of this enemies of him. He can manipulate things behind the scene and pit this people to their graves without him showing his physical presence. Company secrets, scandals, crimes, and other incriminating things that he can use and share to people who were enemies with his enemies. I felt so unsatisfied by his ways. He's all talk actually but he got no tangible power to counter this people aside from the ML. He even prioritized his gaming company that can be easily twarted by his enemies, how can your gaming company help you on your revenge? He lacks proactiveness. How can he protect doing his dreams when the things he should do was overturn the enemies around him. He's so reliant to the ML and he's not doing enough to help his case. He can venture on different businesses with the information he had. He can earned millions from selling information if he lacks funds but oh he wanted to build his gaming company which was his dream without even have the power to protect it, yes he's gonna rely with the ML again which I find incompetent. He was not even using the ML in the right way when he decided to use him. He chided himself and felt guilty but still do it but was not even smart on doing it, he just rely on him and has a come what may attitude. He can borrow money and partnership with the ML to build his money and power. He didn't even need to seduce the ML, which initially the MC was reluctant to do. I just felt it so s*upid that he needed to seduce him so that he can help him. He can be his savior and ask friendship with the guy and get a deal that can assist on his power building. But gosh, Im only disappointing myself with my expectation. I'm not asking to much from him but he was really doing little thing.

He should prioritize survival but oh he needed to go to college and he needed to build his gaming company. That was okay of the intention was this things also can help him survive. But no, he just did this because of his regrets. BOY! People are trying to kill you. Survive first, build power, defeat them and then follow your dreams. If your dreams can help you then it's okay but if you are taking your time doing this things when you can do more efficient things and strategies then you are a lost cause on my eyes. I'm hating steel for not being iron.

Then let's talk about the romance. It's execution was disappointing. Like how can the ML just happened to invest in a school during on which the MC was doing his s*upid plan on going to school so that he can be beaten up. Like he thinks being beaten up was the efficient way for his plans. What did it do? Just put negative records on those who beat him up. He can do better. Then let's go back to the ML and he conveniently helped him and he conveniently easily trusted a boy he didn't know who everyone was saying was bad and he falls with him so easily. I know he's smart but any sane person will think twice helping the MC unconditionally, you will naturally question yourself why do these people hate the MC and they are so many but they says that he's a manipulative and love to act pitiful while being a white eyed wolf. At least you are going to question it first then have some doubt and then ask the truth or let others investigate but that did not happen. He just believe the MC and he fell in love easily. I may ask why? Why are you attracted with him? What did he do aside from when you saw his side view once and seeing him being beaten up with questionable reason? There was sadly no logic with their romance. It felt like the author only forced the relationship to happen because he needed the MC to have someone to protect him. First of all, it's not romantic and force plotting was an icky thing read.

But despite that I still continue reading because I wanted to see him get revenge and trample this people but then came the scene where the sister conveniently scheme behind him omnipotently. I've read some spoilers and I was dissuaded by the story instead. Apparently,
Spoiler

the sister was a transmigrator and knows a lot about the original plot as well as the talent of the MC and she wanted to trample him. Why? Because she was a homophobe so she wanted to destroy the life of the MC. Like that's the whole reason of the suffering of the MC, the MC didn't do anything to her and she just decided that she did not like the BL story and she got transmigrated and oh she decided to just destroy the life of the MC and torture him. How s*upid that was.

[collapse]

Enemies' motivation of how they do things was one of the very foundation of how a story will roll out but if the reason was as flimsy and s*upid as what this book has then it became comical in a bad way. It painted the villain as s*upid and it took away the essence of the motivation of the story. This really what discredit the story to me. If the reason of her suffering and continuing suffering stems from the unreasonable reason itself, then I don't think that the process of how the story rolls out holds weight to me. It was absurd in the first place and felt so unnatural then apparently the author was just making this story out of whim then I don't care anymore. So consider yourself warned. <<less

I'm quite surprised that I enjoyed reading this novel. I'm not really into hard-core abuse kind of stories but this story was surprisingly better and lighter than I thought. I won't really go deep in the story or with it's review since I'm feeling lazy today.

The story was good for time pass and surprisingly (again) the flow of the story was also good. Obviously it has it's own exaggerations, plot holes, too much abuse in the beginning and some short comings but overall this was good read.

Both MC and ML... more>> were quite interesting though I was surprised with age gap but to be honest people in story kind of exaggerated it too much. Yes MC was only 18 when they got in the relation but he mentally was almost 30 (I guessed) and ML was only 28. People in the story exaggerating it like he was in mid 30s or 40s. Anyways ML was really respectful and loving to MC and their relationship was really simple and sweet. (There was a moment were ML almost become dark but no worries since it didn't even lasted two paragraphs.)

Of course there are some aspects that I didn't liked,

1) In the beginning as I mentioned it had too much pointless and baffling abuse.

2) There were some side characters that I'm pretty sure author forgot about them. Like there was a guy who keep picking fight with MC but later he just appears for 1 to 2 paras in some chapters and for no reason at all. And after that author just forgets him all together at end. When in the beginning he was introduced as 3rd lead for his villan sister before he was reborn, so it was surprising that author didn't mention him at all. 3) To me personally I felt that the villains were kind of 2d at end specially his sister and her reasons were really quite baffling. But I think we already get glimpse about all this from the summary that how much his family gone be brain-dead. Anyways if someone wants to read good face slapping, good relationship between MC & ML with kind of smart MC then it's good read.

P.S - About Mo family, as I mentioned you can just ignore their brainlessness since we do get some explanation for all that craziness at end so don't mind it too much <<less

If you want a fluffy story with this kind of Character. Bruh, stop this MC has been abused. Do you think he will be normal? 👀👀 I would not be surprised if he acted too childish and just think of himself since he lacks attention and love. He might have mental illness thats why his character is contradictory. He also lacks guidance from family, friends, and society.

So if you want to read a jack sue character like the one MC hates then stop. Stop, get some help.

honestly. Based on the reviews I read, I really wasn't expecting much from it. But I have to say that after completing this story, it was really good. At first when mo di was 'making use' of mu tian heng. I was a little upset because I felt that mth was really someone sincere and good. But on the other hand I can totally understand why mo di had to do something like that. (Which will be explained in the stoty)

as I was saying, I didnt really like it... more>> since mo di made use of mth, however, after a while he actually fell for mth and treated him sincerely as well. At the start mo di was a little 'black'? His thoughts and behaviour weren't the best. However, after getting along and spending time with mth, he slowly became better and more kind? In a sense? Though he was still hard hearted towards his enemies, he was kindhearted and I have to say, cute! Towards his friends and close ones.

near the end, I really love the honesty!!
Spoiler

Mo di told mth about his past and on the same night, mth remembered their past. And omg turns out, mo di lost a part of his memories. Mo di actually spent a period of time with mth before he died and during that time, mth actually fell in love with him. Sadly, that qin guy found out and kind of caught mo di back to the mental institution and he ended up dying their during a 'riot'. I felt super bad for mth cause when he found out, mo di was already in an urn. :// Mth then plotted his revenge and after years he succeeded and passed away at 70 I think :/

[collapse]
sad life

but anyways, I would rate this novel a 4.5/5 cause all the obsession with that b*tch was explained clearly and overall the story is quite completed and well done. Plusplus, mo di and mth got their happy ever after and omg so freaking cuteee. Yea. Mo di is adorable despite going through so much in his previous life. That whits lotus should rot in hell. What a disgusting piece of sh*t 🙄 <<less

Story started good and ended good. Perfect novel where you don't need to use your brain! When I read the synopsis, all I can think is that I have to read this.

When I read the first chapter, I admired how it was written. I don't know if it was the author or the translator but they both did an amazing job.

When I read about the suffering of Mo Di, I cursed the Mo and Qin family.

When I read the face slapping scene, I was so satisfied but I thought that... more>> it was too lenient. They should suffer more.

When I read the past life in Mu Tian Heng's POV, it made me cry a lot.

When I was nearing the end, I got goosebumps out of nowhere, maybe because I thought that they deserved it.

When I reached the end, I wanted more but then again, Mo Di deserves a peaceful life with no unhappiness coming to his way. <<less

4.5 for the story, 100000 for the frustration 😂 The story is so good, I feel like my brain cells are being tortured again and again while reading it. This is a compliment. I actually tooks longer time to finish this novel compared to other novels of the same length (because I have to cool down my head from times to times). MC's whole family is so brain-dead and ridiculous beyond words. Everyone in the sister camp are crazy and vicious. I'm really angry for the MC, and I wish... more>> him to fight back in the more aggressive ways.
Spoiler

There's a revelation in the ending though. Now, I really don't know how to feel with those controlled by the sister. They're f*cking brainwashed, how can they resist her then? Honestly, were they (some of them) really bad person? Or it is because they were controlled to do bad things? 🤔 Idk I can't judge. However, that sis should really go to jail! Not just being locked in an asylum! Apart from the fact that she's the one behind the scenes, her thoughts are also super disgusting. I want to see her serve her sentences in jail!

[collapse]
The MC and ML are very sweet though. 🥺 Their interactions are so lovely and they are basically a soulmate. What touch me most is what heppened in their last life, I was crying so hard while reading that part. I enjoyed reading this a lot! <<less

Rating: 4/5- I was close to having an aneurism with every passing chapter but I ended up making it through to the end.

With my blood pressure raising uncontrollably I managed to see the dumb head villains of this novel get their retribution which was really not even a tenth of what they deserved!

So I’m a huge fan of dog blood, melodramatic face-slapping novels. I consider them my guilty pleasures and I must say that this novel most certainly has quite a lot of face slapping that I enjoyed.

What the MC... more>> went through really broke my heart and I truly felt uncomfortable. I know that there really are people with unbiased dislike and inhumanity but the levels of child and human abuse and neglect described in this novel is quite nauseating.

There are definitely some weak points in this novel but if read for fun, I think it’s a decent book. I truly despised the 2D villains with their vile and disgusting behaviour. They nearly killed my brain cells with their behaviour. The white lotus was honestly the most sickening of the lot. And the blatant victimisation was just something I could never understand?

Overall I like the couple and I really liked the MC. I wish he could have been written to be more darker and manipulative as that would have been more in line with his character after being so deeply abused. However he was a good character.

The ML was awesome, really liked him. And of course the side characters were great.

I enjoyed this book. It was satisfying enough for me. Don’t overthink the villain logic as it’s kinda explained towards the end- albeit not in the most satisfactory manner, but it does explain at least something <<less

It's not bad you know, it's actually quite good. I think the low ratings are due to its over the top dog blood drama, but if you survive this dogblood the next chapter revelations are quite worth it to continue on reading on. The revelations later on will actually explain on everything with dog food.

The text is too brain-dead. Like it's so brain-dead that it's uncomfortable.

The actions of the family are just too much, their thought process of being devoted is too much, their thinking is too much. But the reason (there is, I put it in spoilers) is actually not so good or fascinating, basically also brain-dead. The novel is built on "action-faceslap return". Everything is put on MAX, MC is super computer/hacking genius OP, ML is one of the rishest people OP to the sky and beyond, foes are scums with no... more>> bottom line etc.

RESULT: This wringing of this MAX at all time is quite tiring and gets boring. And the novel turns brain-dead.

Spoiler

Now, the premise. His sister is actually a transmigrator, she a homophobe who for some reason hated the BL novel about them, she got the system "everyone loves me madly", ruined their lives, didn't actually have a good end herself when MC died in first life, system was out of equation, she forgot everything in second life, the world got some of its' consciosness back because it was directed by people's/readers' undettled feelings outside. Thus we have the second life. She still stayed homophobe and hated MC. But here's a loophole, she remembered only at the end when she ended up in a mental hospital, but before she felt like she knew things that gonna happen and obstructed MC... After the spell was over, everyone woke up from this mad love dream and realized what they did for their daughter. Butthe ending is so cliche, left overs of family members ended up being tortured like MC in mental hospital, the one who put him there ended up in prison, "sister" ended in mental hospital and they were at the pinnacle of life, MC as a famous enterpreneur and ML stayed rishest in the country and they were happy together. This cliche/dogblood actually made this novel.. quite bad and brain-dead XDDD

Absolutely fantastic. Please don't judge this novel by its negative reviews. If you are not familiar with the concept of "Counterattacking Golden Halo/Protagonists/Systems", you might feel this novel was done poorly or washed out. This novel specifically is about how our MC (cannon fodder) who does not have external protection e.g. System counterattacks the Golden Halo. So it kinda is interesting to see how he would face the Halo with him being JUST a Cannon-fodder. That's why there are brainless people (2D) and their monotonous/predictable actions.

ML is a cute gentleman... more>> here. No doubt, no doubt ^^
Spoiler

He called himself beast because he fell in love with 17 yrs old boy (soon to be legal in 2 or 3 months) and called himself immoral because he was 11 years senior. ML is to be honest not overbearing. Also his way of solving problems is entertaining. Although he is one of the richest people in the World, he has limited influence and connections with the country's government officials and big wigs. He only has one trusted Police official (kinda big wig). So whenever he has to solve the accusations or clear the criminal charges, both ML and MC have to search for evidences themselves and give them to that Police official.

[collapse]

MC is a good guy. His wish is to start a new beginning. And of course, punish the vile people if they deliberately attack/come onto him. One review mentioned MC seduced ML deliberately. There's a very clear reason for why he did that.

Spoiler

MC knew he was wrong when he seduced ML. At that time, that was his only option for him to be alive/not be made into human stick by twin Sis's Mafia boyfriend. The first plan was to escape and free himself from the family. The reason is in the past life, Family uses their relationship as "FAMILY" to falsely admit/force MC into the asylum. MC had not met ML at that time and so ML was never in the first plan. Seducing happened when the Mafia BF showed up earlier, Mafia BF's Family is also one of the Richest People in the World and has lots of connections with big wigs and Underworld. With his current strength, MC definitely could not take Mafia BF on. Thus He seduced ML so that he could get guaranteed protection from him cause of the rumors of ML's 3months partners having a wish fulfilled after dating him. He never was free of the guilt until they confessed to each other.

[collapse]

MC and ML first meeting

Spoiler

ML and MC met due to the school bullying incident, MC didn't know who the sponsors (passerbys) visiting that day, he just planned to show them this ugly side of school to the sponsors (via CCTVs) which might help him escape from the Family.

[collapse]

The Revenge

Spoiler

This is the best. The model cousin got his nose crooked. The twin Sis was admitted to Asylum. The grandfather died due to heart attack. The mafia BF went to jail. The 2nd novel ML became impotent. The Family gambled on the Casino cruise and couldn't pay their debt back. To pay back, the Family has to go through the exact torturing methods they imposed on MC in the past life. No more no less. Just when the torture was about to take place, their IQ come back online because the Script disappear and the ORIGINAL World Conscious was restored. So they couldn't believe how far they have fallen because of the twin Sis or how they committed those crimes.

[collapse]

About Sis

Spoiler

She is the TRANSMIGRATOR. She has a SYSTEM. The more the people like her, the more point she would get. She can exchange points for Charisma, Beauty, and many others. The System purpose was to cause chaos in the novel. So when MC (Original novel Protagonist) died, the System left leaving the TRANSMIGRATOR behind although it was her own choice.

[collapse]

Also one review mentioned MC held a grudge for no apparent reason. That's not completely true.

Spoiler

In MC's past life, the guy participated in MC's downfall by making him lose deals with other companies resulting in bankruptcy. But what the guy didn't participate in was the scheme that got MC to be tortured in the mental hospital. After FL got married, the guy left the country, which makes the World Conscious evaluated him as "Not Devoted Enough" to FL so the guy got eliminated/killed. From those events, you could see MC's complicated feelings towards that character. The guy was not cruel enough to make MC suffer but the guy was also part of his downfall. And that very guy was eliminated by his beloved Halo. Should he pity him or not?

[collapse]

Romance between ML and MC is so cute. Extras at the ending makes you wish there would be a sequel. In short, this novel is unique in its own way. Thank you for reading my long review. Thank you so much Translator-sama. Thank you Author. ^-^ <<less

This novel reminds us not to praise those "Mary Sue" characters, specially when they have a psycho lover (authors of aloof and cold ML but sweet to MC, hello?).

... more>>
Spoiler

In the end it was revealed that originally the book was praised by many because they were inspired by the Mary Sue character. However, a lot of rational people became disatisfied by Modi's fate. So the book received a lot of haters even when it became a film. The MTL was kind of confusing, idk if the author revised the story or whatever, I'm just glad the villains received retribution.

[collapse]

I must say reading this really made my blood boil to the extreme. <<less
