Started out strong, then it nosedived. The dense protagonist tag is very fitting ORZ. It gets to a point where it's no longer "funny" but frustrating to read. DNFed at chapter 356 (not MTL) because I ran out of patience. It follows the tropes in a lot of other danmei novels, which is okay, because this is interesting to read, but in this story, the characters are not nearly as developed, and the plot stalls. Feels repetitive after a while.

The novel is amazing! The story is really interesting and I can't wait to see the grown up ML and how he'll get MC, the interactions between MC and ML are hilarious and very sweet so far.

Translation is good

ive decided to be more succinct with my reviews: cute in the beginning, and then author completely loses the plot in the ending lol. MC's "oh-but-im-straight-and-youre-my-little brother" schtick gets old real fast. Really feels like ML foists his love on MC, and it gets uncomfortable. What's even more uncomfortable is MC's attitude towards homosexuality - how am I supposed to believe this dude gets into a relationship with another dude?

This novel is a very interesting one if you like a possesive seme then this is the novel for you. I don't know where the one star guy read maybe in chinese but right now the novel is very good and it is still at the initial stage so if you are interested in BL then this is one of the good one out there. The translation is very good easy to understand and for those who are weird out by the description let me clear some point for you:

1.... more>> He transport into the BL novel but he is the MC in it meaning his original character is gay.

2. His brother that he is trying to raise is not gay originally what he mean by turning little brother into an exceptionally good man is that he raise him on the right path so he wont be like his original character who is a misunderstood villan.

3. Some minor in*est consider they are half brother so if you not into this you can forget about it but it still is a good novel. <<less

A hidden gem! Updates regularly, the plot is interesting, povs from different characters (well, more like a third person pov style), which I absolute adore. ^_^ There are interactions with side characters, and it’s not like there are only 2 people in the world lol. The author + translator style of writing the text absolutely does not bore, and on tippy toes for the next update! ^_^

Good story, but translation from 75-ish chapter is awful. I've read the beginning 3 times, but can't continue because the translation is so bad.

Also the amount of ads on the Asian Hobbyist is staggering.

All in all it's a pity, that I won't be able to read the story completely.

I've been following this story since the first translator, so I thought I'd give a boost to it! I'd been hesitant to continue reading since it changed translators, so I suppose my main goal is to reassure readers.

The first translator was excellent. Changing sites this story first went to a horrible MTL translator. It was a rough 10ish chapters, not going to lie. Mixed up genders, inconsistent terms, nonsensical sentences. Push through it. The 3rd translator is doing wonderfully! It's worth it.

What to say about the story? It hits my... more>> tastes perfectly. You have a possessive yandere gong X pampering and protective shou. Our MC transmigrates into a BL novel as a straight man with a brother complex. He thoroughly adopts a reincarnated gong as his most precious brother; a brother much more mature and bloodthirsty than he let's on. Relatively slow build in this one. As of this writing MC is 15/16 and the gong is 11/12. Nothing has happened between them yet, but those sensitive to underage might want to give this a pass. This is at its heart a cultivation novel. Less term heavy perhaps than some as there is an emphasis on the relationship, but there is a lot of world building and cultivation progression. This isn't suited to people who prefer fast wear/instant love novels. It takes character development for this story to get there.

I'll also add not to be distracted by the h*mophobia tag. It's not at all extreme in nature. It's the common "straight is normal" brand of h*mophobia I see in almost every straight uke/shou BL novel I've ever read. MC loved his gay little brother from his past life. The summary makes it seem worse than it is. At any rate, his almost complete lack of a bottom line when it comes to his brother complexes mean his sexuality switch will flip easier than you might think!

A note for people on the fence about the in*est angle:

Spoiler

1. The gong doesn't consider the shou as being his blood brother as he knows based on the shou's reactions that he isn't the same character as from his first life.

2. I'm not sure if this info got lost in the very badly translated 2nd translator, but they aren't even related at all. Due to this unclear period, I'm not sure if the characters are aware of this yet themselves.

Thank you so much for translating this novel! @AsianHobbyist 🥰 I created NovelUpdates account for this to support Asian Hobbyist goal of 100 reviews of novels' their translating (positive or negative reviews are fine!)

As a fan of yandere and possessive ML ofcourse this hits the sweet spot for me. I really, really love the novel! Also the MC is not dumb and whenever I read it feels like I'm there too ^^ I'm fully immersed.

I suggest you to READ it! Thanks for reading.

Gosh... This is rare treasure!!! About the relationship between MC and ML!!!

It started from the normal Misunderstanding because one is Transmigrator and other is Rebirth. They hide this secret while being close to each other. ML manipulative but also being truthful as much as he can. While MC is not as dense as many MC in other novel. His instinct is Good! He was both very in denial but also very easily accepting things!!! MC is Open-minded!

But when they're finally together, faster than I expected, they're doing the immediately amazing... more>> unexpected thing:

As other commenters have mentioned, the MC is narrow minded and has more than “regrets” about his younger brother being gay. The MC has gripes about his brother going astray and not raising his younger brother right. This is played for laughs and isn’t actually shown to be actually bad on the MCs part, which rubs me the wrong way. Now, this is fiction and all, but, I just couldn’t stand the MC and his view and thoughts. I used to enjoy this novel, but after revisiting I just couldn’t... more>> root for the MC anymore. Nor do I want to see anymore of him trying to “steer” the ML from being gay or bemoaning his fate about his past younger brother being gay. <<less

I’m really thankful that there’s still someone willingly translating this very wordy and long story, since I can’t read Chinese at all, but I would really appreciate an editor to help with sentence structures and the like.
English is my first language and I’m fluent in it, but somehow I’m getting confused over and over since chapter 57. I don’t really like having to read a passage twice or more to understand it, doing so makes it more like a chore than something to read to enjoy.

It's a good novel! The interactions are cute, and the pace isn't too fast or too slow. I quite like the relationship between ML and MC is, even if its a bit (?) unhealthy? Not that I expected a healthy relationship while coming into this novel lol

Regarding the translation, I've been holding back on reading it due to the previous translations being a bit rough. For those who were put off by it, the translator has changed and the later text is translated significantly better! Thanks for the current translator... more>> for picking it up :) <<less

I had this novel on my want to read list for a long time before I finally read it and boy, I kinda regret not reading earlier! The story is good and so far the MC and ML's personality is very likeable! The way their relationship progressing is very realistic for me.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC agreed on hvg a realionship with ML and acknowledged that instead of romantic love, it is more like familial love, but he knows that once they had this relationship, it will slowly turn into a romantic love! This is so true! Many novel I feels like the MC are just getting with the ML becoz of the pressure from ML n not true love but here Ziyan acknowledge how his feeling of familial love can turn into romantic love once he accepted Zirong but he is indeed willing to be with Zirong! He does feel the pressure to get into the relationship but he really faced their changes in relationship head on and even have a deep talk on how their relationship should be with Zirong which I feel like no other MC ever does! And the moment he finally felt a romantic love towards Zirong is also written and I feel happy for them!

[collapse]

What I love about the MC and ML!

Spoiler

MC : Ziyan

I love him, his personality is fresh and so good

Ziyan is such a great MC! Unlike other MC where they changes coz they dont wanna die, hes an MC who actually want to changes the fate of the villain boss who he is supposed to kill in the future because he felp pity towards the cute villain due to his bro-con instict. He really pampers Zirong wholeheartedly but later when they are in relationship, he can still control Zirong as an elder brother and Zirong did respect him and doesnt do things that out of the line.

In the latest chapter he has higher cultivation level than Zirong and I felt like he really is stronger (and taller) and that really is something different from other cultivtn novel ive read.

His take on their relationship is so fresh I love him! He actually studies how to please Zirong in bed (0///0) !

Also I love it that instead of trying to proactively change the future I feel like he just go with the flow. He doesnt hate on the ppl who inflicted pain in the past because things are def not happening yet but tried to avoid things from happening instead.

ML : Zirong

I also love him! He was portrayed as yandere and posessive but he is definitely on the softer kind and so far likeable!

Unlike other yandere ML, Zirong doesnt goes on killing spree just to justified his revenge on past life, doesnt hurt the MC because of some inexplicable lust and doesnt do things behind MC so far.

He is very honest with Ziyan, and he knows not to do things that Ziyan will hate, even w/out Ziyan's knowledge. He has a lot of insecurities but I feel like hes quite normal when compared to other yandere MLs. The fact that he is written as a beauty, loves to act coy and pitiful, I feel like hes the shou most of time because Ziyan is so manly! He's love progression for Ziyan is also quite good, unlike other novel where the ML suddenly falls in love with MC when MC pampers them and treat them kindly after transmigration, Zirong only felt that god has rebirthed him and gave him Ziyan exclusively to compensate his harsh past life. His possesiveness stems from the feeling that Ziyan is his exclusive gift from god! Only after several years of living, pampering, cuddling n sleeping together on the same bed did his romantic love and lust awaken! And his action of showing his love and affection is not unnoticed by Ziyan and thats why when he do Ziyan for the first time, Ziyan's mentality is more like welp it cant be helped, its bound to happen he can only prolong it but actually already accepted in his heart.

[collapse]

So far the story progression is really good, its quite light, theres not much conspiracies which can fried my brain from thinking. There definitely many event to happen next, I cant wait for the novel to be fully translated! The translation was off in the middle for several chap, but after that its good. <<less

I don't really like making reviews, but I saw another person shunning the MC because they said the things he does is "questionable". Especially since it was so vague, my mind was just thinking up all the worse case scenarios. So the whole entire time I was reading I thought the MC would degrade or do some weird sh*t but he never did. He's actually an amazing MC, I don't know what they're talking about lol. I don't remember anything the MC did that was bad? Anyway, MC leans... more>> more towards the "righteous" side whereas his brother, the ML, leans on the "evil" side so I think they compliment each other well. But even though I say this, MC isn't s*upid or a total pacifist either. He would kill someone if it was necessary but of course he would try his best to not end up in a situation where he'd have to. I also like how the MC isn't some damsel in distress as well, and of course if he were ever in danger, ML would help out, and vice versa. I'd have to say MC and ML are more closer to a duo? Like MC is very strong and ML is very strong, but together they're a duo not to be trifled with. The MC actually has a pretty good judgement of character as well (but of course his judgement isn't always correct like that time with the mermaid), although ML definitely takes it for the win for the best judgement haha. But as I said, MC isn't naive, he's just obvlious when it comes to his little bro. And I find it absolutely hilarious seeing MC dote on ML calling him cute and innocent and all but everyone around him is like "wtf this guy is a crazy bloodthirsty sadist, what do you mean cute?! Are you blind??" Hahaha.
Spoiler

and even after MC found out about ML being a demonic cultivator and being reborn, he still dotes on him. It's absolute adorable.

so I caught up to english translation, and I am lovin this Transmigration vs Rebirth story. Compared to other novel's MLs I feel Xu Zirong is better coz he knows that if he imprisones his brother he'll be hated and I feel relieved for Xu Ziyan.

i am just waiting for the bomb to be dropped, things to be spiced up *laughs*huhuhu.....

As pointed out by others that translation quality dropped in the middle but I would to read the broken translation rather than not reading at all. Thank you translating this... more>> novel :) <<less

The story is good and I like it. The romance is slow-burn so don’t expect that kind of scens till very later in the story. The big problem is the translation. Somewhere after ch 80 the translation becomes so bad that my brain really hurts. It’s sad cause I really enjoyed the story, but it seems I have to drop it bc of this.

The story has been really good up to this point, with every chapter being fun and the characters being really adorable.

Sakhyulations translation is very good, but I think AH's is probably just MTL and it reads very awkward.

I would honestly just advise using chatgpt from that point on.

Here is a comparison of the start of ch57.

AH:

... more>>
Spoiler

Of course, if he's occasionally lucky, he could still meet Jin Dan cultivator for a lecture, and if those inner disciples were lucky enough to catch the attention of one of the cultivators, he might as well become the real disciple from an ordinary inner one.

After the lecture, the disciples could even practice all kinds of martial arts in the quiet study room behind the martial arts room. Although it was expensive, it'd be totally worth it.

The main purpose of Xu Ziyan today was to go to the quiet room. Of course, he was not going to practice martial arts, but he intended to take some advantages by following his master's advice...

His Hiding Thunder trick was to use the lightning to train the body, hiding thunder was like absorbing the thunder into their bodies. It would be an energy reserve which he could release it when there's an enemy.

[collapse]

Chatgpt:

Spoiler

Of course, occasionally, if you're lucky, you can also encounter a Core Formation cultivator who spontaneously comes to give a lecture. If any of the inner disciples catch the attention of a cultivator during these lectures, they might have the chance to transform from ordinary inner disciples to direct disciples.

After the lecture, one can also practice various techniques in the secluded room behind the training hall. Although it is quite expensive, it is definitely worth it.

Today, Xu Ziyu's main purpose is to go to the secluded room. Of course, he's not there to practice techniques, but to take advantage of the situation as instructed by his master...

His Thunder Hiding Technique involves using thunder and lightning to temper the body. The so-called Thunder Hiding refers to absorbing thunder and lightning into one's body as a form of energy reserve to be used when encountering enemies.

[collapse]

Interesting enough, from the last Sakhyulations chapters it is obvious the first paragraph was indeed using a generic 'he' or 'you' which chatgpt got right without the context and AH's translation missed. <<less

Just a warning, if you read this, you are in for a long ride.

But I give this novel 5*s out of respect for its complexity and entertainment value. This is one of those transmigration novels where the main character tries his best to not make an enemy out of another character but then they end up as lovers. However, the cultivation levels and details of the cultivation world in this novel are much more developed and complex compared to other novels like it. Furthermore, the plot is always continuing to... more>> develop and expand in interesting ways. You would think that after so many chapters the story would get boring but somehow it doesn't.

Although hardships the character faces are quite repetitive once you reach the middle--they are always venturing into these domains and risking life and etc etc.--the author still manages to make scenarios unique enough from each other. I very much look forward to reading more and seeing how the end of this novel will be achieved.

Also side note, but the gong in the relationship is the "pretty one" which I think is quite refreshing compared to other relationship dynamics. He is still masculine--powerful and dominant. But he is definitely also the "pretty one." <<less
