Transmigrating into a Mob Character to Rehabilitate the Villain Plan

Description

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

Unable to bear hurting the villain he helped raise, but when it came to compensating with his own body, the unfortunate, straight male reader figured he’d better escape… …

Many years later, the same unfortunate saint rubbed his neck, asking, “This is a dog collar you put on me, isn’t it?”

The handsome villainous boss gave a glance with his elegant, almond-shaped eyes, and then replied with a devious, charming smile, “That’s to prevent you from running away again.”

“If I stay put, will you refrain from destroying the world?”

The MC is selfless but it makes sense because he is just trying to save a small child. The ML is deeply flawed and falls in love slowly with MC. The side characters are well written and play important parts in the story. I never thought that I'd fall in love with this story but I did. My only problem is that it is updating once a month, please, I'm glad it's been picked up but please update it faster... I'm dying to know the whole story

Review at v2:

I want—scratch that—I NEED the translation of Volume 3 and the rest!!!

The story is so good that I just need more. It's the combination of comedy, drama, action, and I love both the protagonist (I mean the actual protagonist of the story, not the one with the hedgehog hair) and the villain's point of view. I am looking forward to the *ehem* steamy scenes *ehem* so I was disappointed to know that the translation was dropped. Please, anyone, translate this novel. It's worth it!!! ❤ —✩—

Edited: (Review at v4)

KYAAAAAAHHHH!! It's back and the romance is going strong, too. What a great development. It's finally reaching volume 4! TvT

Ling Xia is so adorable, especially his thoughts. Pfft, so hilarious. What the heck is going on about a plant hero? XD

Spoiler

Ling Xia lost his memories?! Oh no, I wonder how XJZ would make him "fall in love again"? I'm so excited. &Gt;//< And he finally discovered LX's secret!! That's a pretty rare event in mist transmigration stories.

[collapse]

Honestly, recommending this to all kinds of readers. It's fun (hilarious), wonderful romance, there's both fluffiness and sexiness (smut >//<), there's even action and adventure. It's all in one. Don't be fooled by the "yaoi" genre, it's comparable (in a good way) to even the best romance stories. It's the best yaoi novel I've ever read!!! &Lt;3

Yup! He's posessive, has an obsession about the MC. Kind of Yandere. He hates anyone that touch the MC.

At first, a tsundere but when The MC sacrifice his life for him, he became like that... ummm what do you call that...? That type of 'can't live without him' thus, 'destroy everything if anything happens to him' and 'nothing reflects in his eyes, only him'

Cute but kind of dark love

I have read this novel before, but dropped this in the middle of it... I came across this again and since I don’t really remember how the book went, I thought I’ll try reading this again.

I’m currently on chapter 3 and it’s good, I can’t remember why I dropped this?

I cannot continue reading anymore.

I saw how other users were saying the translation for the second half of the novel was... let's say waaaay subpar. And they were right, the contrast is brutal. I'm grateful for the effort and work of the translators, but oh my god most of the time it's a superficial edition of a MTL and sometimes not even that. It's terrible, frustrating and incredibly distracting.

Also I don't know if it's the second half terrible translation, but the characterizations after ... more>>
Spoiler

Ling Xia comes back for the second time

[collapse]
gave me whiplash.

YZJ suddenly becomes an obsessive tyrant who treats LX like a child who shouldn't worry his little pretty head, instead the older-than-him gege-like person that LX is.
But ok, I say to myself, it has been
Spoiler

5 years

[collapse]
and we didn't saw YZJ's progression, so it would make sense to be shocked to such change.

But what about Ling Xia? We're always reading from his pov, so why suddenly he's like that??? It's like he hit his head and became a complete different person. I just want to throw him out of the window.

And last thing, yes, I know that out and in-universe society is very homophobic, that I can understand. What I don't get is the writing choice of:

  • Internalized h*mophobia- yeah yeah we get it, neither of you are gay, the power of love makes you to not care of gender yadayadada, and YZJ probably is demi and that's why he's not interested in anyone -be man or woman- but LX. But you don't have to write constantly how "utterly disgusted" he is at the thought of gay men. Specially when he hasn't said not even once that about women. And LX constant thoughts of how emasculating is to be the center of attraction of another man is... Frankly, if this were a story of how a man growing up in a homophobic society realizes that all of that is bs and that loving and be loved by another man doesn't make him less of a man, it would be awesome. Instead we have two homophobic characters: one and hypocrite who doesn't care as long as he can top and control the center of his affections; and the other so deep in denial he's in Narnia and so disgusted with the idea of being gay he would make a therapist feel it's christmas.
  • and an openly homophobic unreliable narrator - I would give the previous point a pass if the point was to see how two flawled characters develop and become happy with themselves. That would be interesting. But the parts that weren't narrated from the characters povs but from an unreliable narrator were just the last straw. The narrator just couldn't stop saying how disgusting and unnatural was for two men to love each other and be attracted to each other. It felt like sabotage. I want for the characters to overcome their prejudices and enjoy themselves, not to feel disgusted because the narrator feels disgusted, like wtf, no one forced you to write a bl.
  • And the cherry on top was the r*pey scenes. I don't want to read how one is treating the other like a doll, just looking for personal satisfaction, when the other is dying inside. Where the hell is the romance in that?! It's NOT romantic. THAT makes me feel disgusted. That trope needs to die, like yesterday.
Overall, I rated this novel 5 stars when I started reading because it felt different in its use of transmigration bl trope and was really well writen, but at this point I cannot even keep reading. Both for the terrible terrible translation and how the characterization and plot just flew out of the window.

I tried to force myself to keep reading because I wanted to know what will happen (I'm at 55% !!! There's so much story left!!!) but I. Just. Can't.

Do yourself a favor and if you have to read this, just close the book when Ling Xia goes for the second time to the real world and imagine the rest. Write a fic! Imagine what would you like to happen next! Just don't force yourself to keep reading or you'll end hating the story like me. <<less

Dropped this months ago because of the noncon but picked it up again lol. Not that bad actually. I guess my tolerance for problematic characters became better.

Btw, to have a greater experience in reading, it's better not to read the comments. It can ruin the mood and affect your judgement of the story. Same goes for the reviews. If you want to try this story, don't read the negative reviews too much because it will just discourage you.

This was a very simple and easy read.

The main character is kind of dense. He is one of those types who no one can understand why the male lead likes since he is just average looking. But the male lead likes him because of their long lasting bond which started in their shared parent-less childhood. It is not a very complex story but I was thoroughly entertained. It was cute and pleasant! I recommend it if you like the Scum Villain's Self-Saving System vibe, though the characters are both disciples... more>> rather than disciple and teacher. <<less

Honestly 4 or 4.5 cause the plot was weird but a bit unique anw? Its worth reading so I don't wanna affect the ratings and all. I'll review per volume~

Vol. 1

... more>>
Spoiler

This was cute, didn't expect that it will start when they are kids AND that Ling Xia will be with both the protagonist Song Xiaohu and the villain Yu Zhi Jue so it was good since it wasn't typical. Hmm, there wasn't much here just adventure, YZJ's first kill, LX's kindness, I think the most remarkable here is Ah Li and the masked man which until the end (at least until the end of the main story) I didn't know the identity of. LX's specialty was also introduced here with the refining and all. LX's death here was also really sad and probably esp for ZYJ since he was the one who was supposed to be punished and he knew about it way later than the others.

[collapse]

Vol. 2

Spoiler

Hmm, it was a surprise for me that LX got back to his own world and even forgot or didn't really give importance with what happened. Hmm, this was when YZJ confessed? It was cute, it was kinda nice to see the ML's transition from a bit blackened cutie, to a shy real blackened teen. I like that there was a bit of time before they saw each other again, not instantaneously and that the XiaoHu was the first one. They did the Hand* here hahaha. I honestly believe that LX is straight here. You can see the difference of straight LX and bent (experienced/knowledgeable/cautious) LX in vol.3. Again, adventure and much more serious stuff here with YZJ's identity, I don't really remember much here, probably having friends? Ke lan? Idk really when LX met her. Anw his death here again was sad, it was a real death this time and YZJ was pitiful again lol. But really, it can be seen or noticed that LX has preferential treatment to YZJ, which is probably cause his future is not guaranteed and is not stable, unlike the protag, but it's a start for YZJ lol. In the end he finally liked YZJ back here?? I forgot He became a panacea here tho, I liked tthat

[collapse]

Vol. 3

Spoiler

This was spicy hot. Lol. But LX was really pitiful here cause of the puppet soul and he was really weak here. His adventure with Su Mu Zhe, him knowing abt YZJ's marriage and all hahaha. This was just a really spicy volume, and proves (?) LX's feelings for ZYJ. The instrument was really scary and LX's death here was the most sad I guess cause he really got attached this time cause he realized how deep his feelings were. It was nice how immortal he seems to XiaoHu tho hahahah

[collapse]

Vol. 4

Spoiler

Hmmm, I actually don't read comments but when I did they didn't really like ZYJ's approach. But for me, I'm not that sensitive, considering how it might be better really for LX to forget his memories than ZYJ, at least they can start a new, lol with the Ling Jue and Yu personas, ZYJ really made a good cop bad cop version here hahaha, it was weird but at the same time acceptable how LX remembered his memories when he saw XiaoHu cuz he's the protag he got the halo and all. The bald eagle was cute and pitiful here haahah I kinda liked this volume, compared to the other readers lol. In the end, LX didn't really got mad that much? After all ZYJ really did his best to make him come back, he IS selfish but some person in love are really like that.

[collapse]

Still gonna read the extras, I just don't like reading it in broad daylight so I'm reviewing the prev volumes first lol

Reread ? Nahh, it was a good read but it was short and I'd rather read a new one. <<less

Basically my main issue is how the ML gets away from explaining anything by papapa, like MC weren't you mad, didn't you want explanations a minute ago??? Also ML, stop drinking so much vinegar, like purposely misunderstanding the MC in order to drink vinegar a couple times is fine, but after a while it gets tiring

Besides that, I really liked the MC and the setting <<less

I’ve keep endured until I really can’t do this anymore. Maybe I put too much high expectation in this novel.

Won't lie, but the book was very good. Especially the first 2 volumes. But I'm dropping this. Seriously, it's very annoying. And I'm not talking about the MC or ML or the smut, it's all because of the side characters.

The first 2 volumes were nicely written. Like the plot was good, funny and sad too. Seriously, made me cry.
Spoiler
[collapse]
The realistic but cruel story of the 2 volumes were really well written and applied. Like how bcz the hero and villain were genius, they got good treatment and respect. But bcz the MC wasn't a genius, he had talent, a rare one, but bcz it wasn't showing, he was treated harshly. But his innocence and positive mind really was amazing. Especially his never-ending spirit to do better and to live a good future. It was very intriguing and interesting. But after that, from the 3rd volume, sh*t hit the fan. Like really, the only side character I like in the whole book is the MinerBai bandit lady of the sea, oh and also the MC's master. Other than these 2, all other side characters are total sh*t and annoying.

Like I am so pissed on the ML, the villain, who doesn't eleven know that his own right/left hand man tried to kill, or more like killed the MC, coz he transmigrated back to his original body. The side character, left hand man, is so obsessesively insane and sh*t headed that I dropped the novel. And again, I little bit blame the ML for the transformation of the MC. Like MC had talent. If cultivated and NOT interrupted bcz of the ML, he would have been so powerful and self sufficient. But no, the author decided to make him a damsel in distress and also a thin muscle-less wimpy looking guy (If you read the first volume you would notice that the MC was actually very manly and muscly, although teenager but still). Okay, he was sick, it was side effect and I accept it. But again!!!! You (author nim or sama) made him so sick, but can't a suck person even rest in peace??!! Like why the hell was he kidnapped the day after he woke up?!! Like WTH?!! Is this logical?!! No peace?? Like none at all.

And all that side characters, I salute you ciz you all made me drop the book. Like once a side character demon girl tried to r*pe the MC, she drugged him and was almost close to the deed, if not for the MC's spirit animal friend. And when it comes to confrontation, what the MC says.??? 'It was just a misunderstanding' Like hell it was!!! It was about to be r*pe!! Don't cover it for the sake of that villain going mad!!! Does of a rapist make any difference.??! Again, when it comes to gender equality I prefer the villain more. Coz for the MC, a girl raping a boy is just a prank. Oh, how do I forget, The hero!!! He is total s*upid, biased, and the one who thinks that crying one is right and the emotionless one is wrong!!! Head slap!!!

Now, I really like the first 2 volumes, the story was good (Although the sidekicks were a bit annoying). The 3rd volume is a no go for me. (I don't mind the smut). The only reason I'm dropping the book is bcz of the annoying side characters. That's it. Like at the very least, if a proper background of the side characters was there in the beginning so that I can understand their actions or something, I wouldn't be so much annoyed right now. (Most of the side characters are just brainless!!! Even the hero is brainless!!! OMG!)

Well, sayonara for now this novel.

Maybe I will try to continue it again in future.

Pros:

  • The plot is pretty interesting, especially the concept of not fully transmigrating, or returning at the end, but instead taking "breaks" at the end of each arc to be back in the real world. Also, things relevant to the MC/plot still happen in the real world sections (although it's small things)
  • Story is somewhat short and plot doesn't really overstretch itself too much, so if you don't like a certain plotline you can just skip a few chapters. Also, the flow of the writing is such that even if you skip you can usually still catch up on what important things happened.
Cons:

  • MC is... boring? not charming? bland? pick your adjective, I don't really like him and if it wasn't for the plot I would've dropped this in the first volume.
  • TN issue so doesn't matter if you MTL or read CN: There are 5 different TN groups, so QoL and quality of TL may vary. I had to read while keeping this page open and just opening the next ch in new tabs.

4.5/5*

Without the Extras I would have rated 4.25. The extras were so full of fluff (and smut).

Storyline and plot were not outstanding, but it does the trick. Same for characters.

It was exciting enough to make me binge. World building was simple for cultivation novel. The focus was more on the romance. Dub-con but I liked it. It was hot. The smut was Really good too!! Explicit scenes and frequent.

Very easy to read and to finish. Chapters are not so long.

A word of warning: this is the kind of yandere novel where the ML is forceful and consent is dubious. I've seen everything so far so nothing much bothers me anymore. I prefer him when he started out tsundere.

Volumes 1-3 are great, honestly. I just didn't like the premise in Volume 4 with ... more>>
Spoiler

MC getting amnesia. Even though it's understandable that the ML traded MC's memories in order for MC to live, I'm just sick of reading amnesia tropes. Fortunately, MC gets his memories back, but I don't like how the ML is so impatient and keeps mol*sting the MC and forcing him. I'm ok with noncon but I don't like it when it's justified as okay for the sake of love and shoehorned into HEs. But cause the MC and ML did genuinely love each other in Volume 3 before the memory wipe and MC still does, it doesn't put me off so much. This would get a 4.5 or 5 from me if the ML had restrained himself and just focused on stimulating the MC's memories instead of stimulating his body physically against his wishes in V4. Like dude, he doesn't know who you are. Wth are you doing, I thought you'll be smarter and have more restraint than that... I actually prefer if this had less xxx scenes...

Overall, it's an enjoyable read despite how the ML goes from cute tsun to yandere to the typical forceful ML. <<less

first 2 volumes are a fun read for the most part. Volume 3 is a disaster. They are constantly having s*x despite the MC wanting no part of it. The MC is also so weak to the point it even makes me uncomfortable to read. And im usaully all for bondage shit. The non-consensual/rapey aspect just really ruins the whole vibe of the story. Plus the plot just disappears, I want to explore outside the room he stuck in! This is just ridiculous!

what a disappointment.

It is what the reviews before me say. First two comes plot and later half becomes romance-oriented. There were also some missing pieces here and there that we will never get to know. At the very least, the ending was properly closed and there were experimental & fanservice storylines on the extras.

The summary, after the ludicrous part, doesn't really come true in the original world but on the extra as an alternate world. Our ML, even if there's dub-con, never really goes 'too far' and stops when the MC realllly... more>> doesn't like it. Additionally, we get to see them fumble around because of inexperience lol (teenager ML sloppy kisses, masturb*****, and when he tried to learn the art of s*x lol). Also we get to see ML's expressions of helplessness, worry, always peak lvl shock&sadness&madness, and moments of blushing bec of MC. On another note, all three of them weren't OP, especially the MC. There were near-death moments and struggles & aches when they can't do anything when facing a greater power. Protagonist always sunny, ML only views MC but heeds his sayings (like no killing his bro), and MC the saint & mediator lol. Truly right, when he doesn't want power over a world w/o the MC.

I wished they could have explored these more:

Spoiler

(1) the powerful master; (2) further and final intetactions with the other characters (everyone suddenly got married or something) ; (3) life of the protagonist - like I feel he's only there for support and a feel good addition (like all others, could pop up and disappear when needed & not) ; (4) more descriptions about the fight scenes and the plot - though I'm glad that in the end, the three of them still maintains a family-like atmosphere and there's no truly 'war to destroy or good vs evil' (ALL ON U MC! Thanks lol), seeing that the light & dark cast are still alive somewhere, but yes, 3rd death&resurrection onwards was a mish mash mix of things, up till the extras (esp what happened to the MC, both had to suffer to recall him back, and what they had to go through) ; (5) more descriptions about the master and relationship w/ protagonist's parents, since it was just dropped and moved on with the evil ball and the sudden powerful 'call the transmigrator's spirit back'; (6) more character development, especially from the overbearing ML; etc.

[collapse]

I'm glad the extras were somewhat generous. We were given

Spoiler

(1) A modern scene that was somewhat satisfying and relaxed; (2) able to see the MC turn the clock also after seeing the ml's shota look; (3) bald eagle's pairing; (4) family moments; (5) the protagonist's final love pick lmao, that needs a spin-off and at the same time, just WTF, how could a sudden appearance and disappearance chara taken you -- I shipped you w/ the beast tamer elder!; (6) A grim alternate ending with the ML and protagonist truly on a dark vs light, world ending, and pitiable MC (where we got the summary lmao) ; and many more others.

[collapse]

If you want a novel with: fluffy, non main cast chara dying, some detailed papapappa, chase and catch me between mc&ml, middleman/elder brother between the dark & light Lords, funny resurrect-able & sacrificial lamb MC (the happenings each time made me laugh lmao I appreciated his coming & going between his world and the novel), warm family moments with elder bro MC over the two shotas ML&protag (volume 1 was cute! Kids versions and growing up scenes are rare! I feel old watching them grow :')), different explored moments, hardworking translators, THEN GO READ IT, WHAT ARE U WAITING FOR! <<less

Honestly, there are many loopholes and unsolved mystery, but the contents of the novel actually make you forget about all of those stuff because it's just so good! ML is a bit of an as*hole to trick MC at the end like that, but still it worth it since there is no damage to the innocent world lol.

I have been binge reading cultivation BL novels with these master-disciple or shixiong-shidi relationship for a while now, I just have to say this story is quite good though no much plot that I can enjoy but there is so much fluff going on that it makes it okay to read.

Book 1 & 2 is my favorite there are fluffs and the character's relationship and the plot is improving every chapter. Book 3 is just fan service for us rotten girls with some plot going on at the end, and... more>> book 4.... I haven't finish reading yet so, so far all I could say is it's full of fan service and fluffs lol.

Maybe it's just me being impatient with the storyline or frustated of the over fluffs going on, but I just want the plot to develop faster so that I can enjoy the fluffs at the end without anticipating more angst. All the sweet interaction was okay at first, but as I read more I feel bored with all the fluffs and got the feeling that perhaps there are no plots at all in the first place lol. In conclusion, the fluffs are just fillers to make longer chapters :') but if you like story full of fluffs and slow plot this is the story for you.

I wanted to stop but as I am determined to just finish this novel, I will. <<less
