The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

Description

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

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

Author: “…Got it.”

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

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

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

It was a struggle for me to finish the novel. It wasn't terrible per se, this book in fact has interesting world-building and DnD elements. I was just unable to feel invested in the characters or the romance. It's really unfortunate because I was looking forward to the reader x protagonist dynamic.

It's interesting. The mysteries don't start connecting until towards the end of the story. Was the ending rushed? Possibly. There were some things that I wanted more details about, but overall it was a great novel.

I really enjoyed this!

Great story with a lot of suspense, dark protagonist. He's OP but he isn't kind or caring. No one cared for him so he forsook everyone. Very enjoyable.

More than anything else, I love clingy, super possessive ML. The idea that he lives and breathe for only one person, goes mad without that person, and will never let that person go.

R18 alert. A lot of s*x and one encounter that might be squirmish: (

Story was good but quite long. Lots of different worlds and different experiences. Author is very creative. ML is seriously OP but even he had to suffer a lot.

Happy ending :) overall I think a really worth read.

This was one of the first Danmei novels I have read and it was a great introduction!

Spoiler

I truly liked how the author created an extremely interesting setting for the world. As well as, giving our ML some pretty cool attributes. Along with the delicious smut, there was also just the coolness of the characters themselves. However, what I do wish was for the writer to have given the ML more of a personality. Which such cool powers and the fact that the ML was originally an MC himself, he should have more of an independent personality. Rather than being someone who centered himself around another person.

I really enjoyed this story.

the world building is very interesting, especially the limitations put on Du Ze [MC]. Also him being deaf and nearly blind is a point that’s unexpectedly refreshing.

the way Xiu treats him in the beginning, it’s harsh a painful for Du Ze, yet it’s never addressed again, (though the reason for this could also be looped in with Du Ze’s personality and his loyalty to Xiu) .... more>>
Spoiler

After Xiu develops feelings he’s very possessive, it’s understandable after what he went through. He ends up hurting Du Ze in his dragon form, but he’s hurt him other times too, but it’s true that that incident is the only one where Du Ze was emotionally hurt aswell.

I think that the story developed in a realistic way, Du Ze’s undying devotion to Xiu is addressed as well, and Xiu is actually uncomfortable with it, he wants Du Ze to love him how he does, yet is constantly aware that Du Ze seems to be disconnected from the world.

The romance part truly starts to develop only after Du Ze finally understand he’s part of this world now, that despite missing his family, when give the ‘way’ he could go home, he refuses not because he love Xiu as a character, but as person.

[collapse]

the villain’s motivation are similar yet completely different, they want Xiu dead but for different reasons.

the ending was really satisfying, and in retrospect it was a little too perfect, but that might have been the point, especially because part of it leaves you with a couple theories!
Spoiler

Du Ze blacks out, writing a comment that the Author rewrites giving Xiu the power to meet him again. The author say they won’t write anymore because the novel is sentient, also saying “how can you be sure your not in a novel?” And you realize that Du Ze blacking out and writing that comment was alluding to that being a part of the plot of the book their in.

[collapse]

in conclusion, this book is amazing and I highly recommend it! I love the way the characters develop, and the psychological in it. <<less

Definitely a good read. I don't know how to describe it but the adventures, the plotline is good. Altho there are parts that you'll feel lacking, it's so satisfying. I'm also fond of OP protagonist so the story of the protagonist of "Mixed Blood"/ML is already eye-catching for me, what's more for this story where the protagonist entered the book and stole all the roles of other characters and was like a a final BOSS in the ML's world bcs of his own golden finger of restore and knowing the... more>> plotline of the book. It was like they're a POWER COUPLE but the MC is only powerful bcs of his identity inside the novel (he's physically weak).

Spoiler

Also, it's so amazing how the author wrote the story of the MC entering a "novel". Inside the novel, of course the characters think they were real and their world is reality, however it was only a reality for those characters but not for MC. His reality on the other hand was "outside" the book where it was only a novel and he was actually a reader living in the modern era, not knowing they were also "inside" a novel where they think it was reality and we are the readers.

Who knows, maybe we're also inside a novel.

[collapse]

However, in all this what I find lacking sometimes is also the MC. In the novel, bcs he entered a novel where magic and supernatural are strong... naturally he as a human is weak, and as an outsider who can't intervene with the things happening to the protagonist except to slightly divert his future to become better. In those scenes, he became invisible and doesn't play much role except being the "cause/trigger" of some of those events happening.

With the MC and ML's relationship. They lack the verbal communication bcs of course the ML is cold and only talks when necessary while the MC has a huge social barrier (that was emphasized almost every chapter) that he can't overcome since the start until the end of the story. They were more on interaction rather than verbal.

Also, the MC have quite a weird taste. Sometimes, what he finds cute is really cute for me bcs I kind of can imagine it, but most if the time I dunno what certain actions of the ML he finds cute. It's like, it appears out of nowhere. He suddenly finds something cute that that's it.

Overall, this novel wasn't what others might consider the best but it was a satisfying story and the NSFW was also well-written. How it was build was also quite unique for me so it's definitely a must read for me. <<less

Well let me say it in simple words. This novel felt like a shounen yaoi anime with a lot of angsty plot flowing against the male lead who is a miracle child born out of all the races and a bit of heavy smut here and there. The seme is a blackened protagonist and because the uke transmigrated during the time when the blackening was taking place he couldn't help in keeping the Ml's pure heart. Which I am really glad coz righteous, saint characters are not my type. The... more>> blackened seme is not your bad seme. He is pretty good. Given that he was betrayed over and over yet he gave the uke his trust. I love how he atleast tried to place his belief in the uke, giving his trust issues a chance.

And I also loved how there was a reason for the uke to transmigrate inside the book. I love it when transmigration has a rhyme and reason for it. But I must say the uke was kinda bland. He did not have much dialogues in the story and that lack of speech kinda gave him a shallow effect. Though he is pretty okay and has a big heart so yeah that makes up for his lack of deepness as one of the main characters.

One thing I liked about this novel was the action. It felt like I was reading a fanstasy yaoi manga. So it was refreshing. I also loved how the author of the book where the uke transmigrated to emphasized the world they were living in to being not really the true world (Coz it implies that their wolrd could also be another mere world in another world.)

So yeah definitely recommed it for a try. <<less

I've tried reading this a few times already and got a little further the last time I read it, but each time I run in to the same annoying issue. Why dont the characters talk at all? Literally we are told what happened, but we dont "hear" any of it. They supposedly lived together in the wasteland for 3 years and you're telling me they never even talked?

I might try to read this again someday, but most likely wont get far again. It's boring and nothing happens at the beginning.... more>> We just hear about the novel, but that's not interesting. The MC doesn't have any sort of personality and the ml, well I can really say anything about him since nothing happens in the start. <<less

Although this novel has its flaws, Im not that mad about it. Its interesting premise and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Im just not comfortable with the ending, its fine but when you really get into what it might mean its... ambiguous.

Thank you so much for the translations! The translator notes are funny though, but be warned it has some spoilers.

The MC has tsundere moments but not fully tsundere so dont get it mixed up.

Wished the author explored more on this as fellow... well ya know, this was the only moment that struck a chord and it was short lived.

i like that De Zu (MC) refers to himself as silly and cute

There are a lot of grey areas in this novel.

Im not fond of unhealthy relationships where one cant live without the other... I wanted to rate this novel 3.6 but it wont let me. <<less

To be honest, the novel is quite disappointing to me. The plot seems quite interesting; I'd give it 3 stars. I think I could I have continued to read the novel since the plot is interesting (The MC transmigrates into his favourite author's latest book (which was more or less disappointing to the MC) and meets the protagonist of the novel). However, the events that happen to the protagonist are way too cliché. How many times have we seen a protagonist being forced to take refuge in a barren land... more>> and blacken because he was wrongly accused??

I don't really appreciate the writing style of the author either. Or maybe it is because it has been translated from Chinese to English which makes it less interesting. Putting this aside though, I really don't like all the inner ramblings of the MC that is written (Inner ramblings are fine but please don't write too much! I do get that the MC is the type of person to complain but there's more rambling than story!).

What I do appreciate though is that the author never makes her characters go OOC. Many novel writers do this and it affects the story in a bad way. The author of this novel always keeps her characters' actions and thoughts in line with their personality.

Also, I would like to show some apprecation to the translator's hard word. From what I understand, the author of the novel has made use of a lot of Chinese slangs and expressions which are difficult to translate to English. However, the translator has done a very good job and even explains every term which does not exist in English. Thank you! <<less

I gave it 4 stars because the translation was excellent but this really wasn’t my cup of tea. The story focuses so much on the fantastic elements but the relationships felt a bit shallow and the characters were a bit plain, sticking to their roles.

Really enjoyable if you are very into fantastic settings more than a romance story.

Oh boy, this is an emotional journey for me. This can easily be one of the best web novels I've read so far and I could probably easily read this again. Of course thanks to the author and translator that I had a wonderful experience reading this.

I just LOVE the MC and ML interaction.

Du Ze - I like the fact that you can see the MC visible flaws and there's time that he can be awkward and be misunderstood because of his poker face but he will always be a silly and cute person to the ML. You can expect character development and I'm really grateful that he's not OP but realistic.

Xiu - He is very possessive and usually with a yandere, they are the cause of a toxin relationship HOWEVER despite showing obsessive and possessive traits... I don't know, how but their relationship is relatively adorable. The way how Xiu can read is facial expression and body language to understand what du ze is thinking, he always tender to him and always thinks about him.

I love it! It was pretty slow and very predictable from the start to end, but everything about it was sweet and I can't help but fall in love with their little interactions. The plot is interesting and even though it was a bit weak but at this length, I'm sure it's enough.
