Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating

Description

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

The cousin that Jing Huan has been closest to since he was a child was labelled as “the other woman” in a certain popular online game: only after devoting herself did she know that the other party was a jerk with a girlfriend.

After several days of being bullied online by people in the game, his cousin went abroad in a fit of anger and sorrow.

Jing Huan couldn’t take this lying down; he decided to take revenge for his cousin using the same method as that guy – buy a character in game and kill that slag guy thousands of times online.

With his strength and skill as the Great God when the game was first launched, wouldn’t he be able to kill that guy and force him to quit the server in minutes?!

He went online, eager to fight, but made a discovery after conducting a round of investigations — this slag guy was the number one DPS server-wide, number one on the expert ranking list, number one on the wealth ranking list, number one on the popularity ranking list, and number one on the fame ranking list.

Conclusion: Can’t screw him over.

Jing Huan felt despondent. He was just about to give up when he personally witnessed his dormmate’s online relationship end right after meeting each other in real life. The other party had sent fake photos and changed their voice, and had even cheated him of his money, triggering his dormmate so much that he was almost admitted to a hospital.

Jing Huan felt enlightened as a sudden realisation dawned on him. After comforting his roommate, he moved the high-priced voice changer back to his rented house overnight.

✨◝ (⁰▿⁰) ◜✨ Another enjoyable read! Lots of laughter, second hand embarrassment, meng and lessons on how to do pits!!!

Highly reccomended for those who wants to seriously learn about the latter. As a matter of fact this novel should be renamed to "Guide on how to dig pits" lol. I'll definitely miss those adorkable guys💖˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱ (〒﹏〒)

I really like the story, especially how the relationship slowly grows on both sides. I love how funny the story is with the misunderstandings. I don't think you'll come out of the story any wiser or more enlightened, but it's a wonderful way to spend a couple days. I had a really hard time putting the story down because I kept wanting to know how issues would get resolved.

both characters know about each other’s online/offline identities but they don’t specifically talk about it. Instead, the MC keeps chatting the ML with both of his accounts

So cute and funny.

I sometimes find fluffy stories to be boring, but this one was so funny that it held my interest without needing knives, angst, or papapa scenes. <<less

Humor.

Fluff.

Amazing relationship dynamics.

Satisfying.

If you want all of the above in a novel, you are in the right place. Do not think twice and just dive in.

I LOVED the book despite taking a week to get past the first 20 chapters. Later, I was so hooked, I couldn't put it down.

I absolutely adore this novel! It's easy to read, nice cute plot with lovable characters! Might be the best modern web novel on here.

Although there were a few plot holes and things that didn't make sense in general, you can be sure that it's better than expected (the summary lol). Pretty funny and entertaining. I wish it was longer though.

I really enjoyed reading this novel. The main and side characters are all loveable and funny. But if I were to criticize one thing it would definitely be the MC and how long it took him to clear up misunderstandings. I think the ending was really nice and the relationship developed really smoothly between the two main characters :) The time spent in-game and real life events were balanced really well and I don't think it ever got boring!

Everything is so good and nice!!!

One of best novel that I really satisfied and enjoy to read.

The characters is very nice, MCs and Sides char really loveable. Of course it's typically cute, delicate, yet strong and charming even tho sometimes naughty and super shameless MC with typically hot-handsome-rich-can-do-everything, very doting and warmth to the MC but cold to everyone ML. Side character that I like is Lu Ge, dunno why but I fall to that Ge (つ≧▽≦) つ

The story is well written and good flow too, the plot is nice,... more>> although in the middle of the story there might be some that are a little boring, but I still really really enjoyed it (In fact there is no story that I skip at all). And of course to there are many dog foods that very cute and lovely!!! ♡ (&Gt; ਊ <) ♡.

Although the story is predictable, it can still be enjoyed well.

Unfortunately, one thing that I think lack is there is no character that can equal the ML, he is tooo strong till there is no one can approach him (So that's why the-in-game story sometimes felt boring) and one thing that really I wish in that story is the MC comeback with his old Avatar (╥﹏╥)

Spoiler

I was excited and moved when I saw the MC played using the ML's avatar, I mean, basically the MC is also strong, more over when he use high DPS Ava, but because the condition make him using support type avatar, so of course he wasn't attack, still he is cool and strong when using his current avatar. But hell yeah I want to see MC slaughter others, not just his hubby who slaughter others

[collapse]

Spoiler

what I really wonder is, where all the money come from, how they all are very rich!

[collapse]

Well, the point is I'm really satisfied with everything! <<less

Love it. One of my favourites and on my re-read list. Funny and exciting. The author's style isnt boring or repetitive. Its easy read, flows nicely and I found it very absorbing. I was disappointed it was over so fast.

The MC and ML are rich boys but likeable and interesting. I would recommend it to everyone. 5 stars

A worthwhile read. Overall, 4/5 stars for this novel.

Here's the positive points I got from reading this novel:

  • Again, shameless MC (XD) It was a win for me since I do like amusing reads. It certainly kept me entertained, and it even made me laugh out loud a few times.
  • The author did a good overall job at providing understandable gaming jargon. Props for that. This is actually the first novel that convinced me to read more gaming novels!
  • The MC actually worked his ass off to gain the trust of our ML, which was nice. I find that in a lot of novels, the MC doesn't even have to lift a finger and the ML already loves him.
This novel was a good read, but I only gave it 4/5 stars for a... more>> couple of reasons:

  • I found it a bit dragging as the story slowly came to the end. I mean, sure, the plot was nice and all, but I think there were some fillers here and there? There wasn't much drama though, which kinda saddened me since I have a niche for dramatic scenarios.
  • Although the author did a good job at providing us the gaming info., there were still minor details that I couldn't understand. But overall, it was pretty understandable.
Spoiler

I just felt too sorry for the MC when he eventually found out that the male lead wasn't actually the one who broke his cousin's heart.

Personally, it stopped being funny for a while after that moment. The transition from light-hearted comedy to dread was too abrupt for me. Well, that's just a personal opinion anyways.

Anyways, that's that. I hope you'll enjoy reading this novel! <<less

One of my favorite comedy gold. There are times you will stop reading because you need time to breathe in between laughter.

It keeps you engaged and the MC is so adorable. At times you really want to jump through the novel and stop the weird train of thoughts the MC has digging his own pit ?. The ML also I am very impressed is not the pushy kind like other novels who tries to get MC by hook or crook. He respects the MC when he finds some facts.

This is... more>> one the stories that I will not mind re reading very well done work.

translation job is excellent as well <<less

Cute! I finished the whole thing in 3 days with some nonstop binging.

The MC/ML relationship is cute, and nothing really is wrong. There just isn’t anything too special about it. There’s tons of misunderstandings and digging into holes, but also, I’m glad the MC has a conscience and decides to repent for his mistakes. And his shameless pursuit of the ML is quite adorable as well. There’s a few bits I’m kinda iffy with, but I’ll take it.

Only thing is, there isn’t a ton of depth to any character, but... more>> it’s not that kind of novel anyways. The ML is honestly too OP though, there really aren’t any problems for him. Well, it was a decent read overall, and I’d still recommend it to anyone looking to fawn over an adorable relationship. <<less

So cute and funny!

I am allergic to cringe to the highest degree. Even the smallest embarrassing moment is too much for me and I just want to hide under bed. Let me be honest in saying that there where a couple of moments in this novel that I had to quickly skim through because the MC embarrassment was making me hyperventilate. However, the rest 99% of the book I was devouring like a beast.

What a wonderful find this one was!

Fluff ✔️
Comedy ✔️
A Little Drama ✔️

I don't know how many times I face-palmed reading this story but mannn, MC can build a dam from always digging holes.

Love the story, the pacing and conclusion is just right, the comedy factor is brilliant. At first I think the MC is not cost efficient for thinking that kind of revenge, if you think about it it's very bothersome. Also I think he had split personality, but later on he's just like that! It's so funny that he's not really a reserved... more>> person as other people think of him first. Yup, he's basically shameless! On the other hand, the ML is a really nice and cool dude, very understanding about MC. The side characters are great as well! They are all so funny and just right to support the mains.

I definitely recommend this and read this again in the future! <<less

The MC's disposition somehow reminds me of Tattoo's MC - both knew, in one way or another, what they're capable of and thus can act confidently in what they do; while ML is a variant of your typical gong - manly handsome OP gamer who has good grades and high EQ (the typical loved-by-the-masses-idol-of-all ML traits) but has some trust issues online, and thus keep his concerns and secrets to himself (the typical ML baggage). Overall rating: 4.3.

This is not the first time I've read a story that revolves around... more>> online games. However, in comparison to those I've read before, this story does not use extreme gamer-only lingo, so it's novice-friendly to those who are new to the genre.

But more than game elements, the plot focuses on what the title implies - online dating. The setting and characters fit the bill of this theme so perfectly, and I like that the main concerns of this dating scheme are shown throughout the story - ambiguity of feelings, fake identities, cyber bullying, etc -, and in different characters' circumstances too.

Spoiler

Like, how ML thinks that he cannot open his heart and truly enter a relationship with MC before he got to know him in real life, and thus does not accept the early advances of MC's game character to his own game character. Another is the failed online relationships of one of MC's friends, where he (friend) simultaneously got deceived by his girlfriends due to their real life identities (man posing as woman, working mom posing as a teenage girl). There are more, so read the story if you want to know. ?

[collapse]

The main casts are all your typical well-off male university students - young adults who like basketball, somewhat emotional, have troubles with exams, and dare to try things while not thinking about the consequences after. The tight-knit friendships between them are really commendable; they're nicely reflected on the choice of words in their interactions - kudos to both the author and translator/s for this!

Lastly, the story implied that a relationship built on misunderstandings and lies will not work and always fail, but a relationship that has overcome these misunderstandings and lies will create a closer and deeper bond between couples - a simple life lesson that is easy to remember but we often cannot act upon.

I won't officially give a rating since I think the overall rating is good enough. A cool story to read - one that is significant in today's society - thanks! <<less

Once I started reading it I seriously couldn't put it down. Marathon'd through the whole novel in just two days. From the summary, the novel sounds like it is going to be a typical misunderstanding filled story, etc, etc., but the way the author handles it makes everything worth reading.

This novel is hilarious! The side characters, from the ones online to the ones in real life are all 3D and really adds some flesh and meat to the story. I just wish I had friends like that, RL or OL.... more>> ??

Just from reading the description, you know there will be misunderstandings involved. Usually in novels these misunderstandings can turn into a drag and lead to major unnecessary drama, which was what I was worried about when I first started reading... but that doesn't happen in this novel! ? The misunderstandings don't take forever to resolve and the characters think things through quickly enough so the story keeps progressing without lagging into angst filled drama.

Also, from reading the description about the voice changer, you know the story will involve some big reveal to friends and other players regarding the MC's true gender, right? Usually you'd be expecting some major work up to a confession or some other dramallama situation... but that doesn't happen either! The reveal is simultaneously the most hilarious thing and the way the ML handles it is simultaneously one of the sweetest things. I won't spoil it, but it was very good!

The MC is great. He's tall, plays sports, is good at online games and is masculine with a likable boyish personality (in real life!) Not too smart, but not the typical helpless and dumb MC you read in BL novels either. I love the way he talks to his friends in their chatroom!

ML is quieter, very tall, very muscular and also plays basketball well, is very smart academically and a genius in gaming too. I know, sounds sue-ish, but the author makes it work and you don't think about that when you read it.

Overall, just a very good novel. Definitely re-readable! I'm going to look for more novels from this author now. <<less

First, I am same as other passerby, this novel hook me because of the gern. Honestly, this title of this story not that eye catchy, but once you start to read it, the novel will make you additted and will never willing to let go you off...

For those who looking to a novel that tell about how to court your crush, this novel truly suit your test, but for those who wants to see the reality of BL life, like the development of their love which involve family and etc,... more>> I think you wont like this novel.

This novel only show the development of MC and ML, on how they realized their feeling and how eager themself about finding and pursuing their love and happiness.

For me, thia novel have potential in develope into complex sections, but so far I'm very satisfied with all 'dog food'. Thank you author and the translator for write this story and translated it ???? <<less

Good story and translation.

We finally have a outgoing and handsome MC who gets confessed to as much as the ML. Haha.

The MC pretends to be cutesy to trick the ML into liking him and his comments are hilarious. ML is initially dismissive but falls for the MC when he gets to know his identity in real life. There's hardly any angst. It's a light and fluffy read with comedy. The interactions of MC and ML with their friends is great. Both the MC and ML are confident and strong characters... more>> from wealthy families.

I had hoped to see MC play with his old account at some point as he was a god player in his old server. Sadly, that didn't happen. I was also hoping that Hao'er finally gets a happy ending after his 2 disastrous online relationships.

The last 20 or so chapters are pure fluff. So good....

The implied conversion of Immortal MengMeng into a fujoshi was so unexpected. Her heart starts racing when she sees our main CP kissing. Hahahaha

Overall, a feel good story with a nice mix of comedy and romance. <<less
