The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man

Description

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

Shen QingShu, 22, died in an accident. His biggest regret before his death was that he’d been single all his life. He obviously wasn’t a monk, but he’d never eaten meat.

Then, when he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome, self-assured man standing before him. The handsome man parted his thin lips slightly and asked, “Wanna have a one-night stand?”

Shen QingShu didn’t hesitate at all. “Let’s do it! Twice!”

The next morning, Shen QingShu woke up aching all over. Only then did he discover he’d transmigrated into a book. The handsome guy beside him who’d gone two rounds with him was the protagonist gong, Han Cheng, the second son of the Han Group.

And the original owner of this body was just a disliked, death-seeking cannon fodder.

Shen QingShu: …Well, this is f*cking awkward.

But Shen QingShu didn’t panic. Anyway, he was just a cannon fodder. He figured they’d part in a few days

He knew he was a tool man, a character who only existed to develop the plot.

-Half a year later-

Shen QingShu looked at the man next to him and wondered: It’s been more than six months. Why hasn’t he left already?

Until the day he saw the protagonist shou and Han Cheng meet by accident.

Tool man Shen QingShu immediately felt the call of duty. Eyes shining, he prepared to push the plot forward.

“Don’t come looking for me in the future.” Shen QingShu was extremely self-aware.

Han Cheng was shocked. “Why? Do you have feelings for someone else? Who is it?”

Shen QingShu: … Darling, this reaction isn’t quite right.

“I don’t accept this,” Han Cheng said, furious. “One day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace. Can you even calculate how much grace we have?”

Shen QingShu: … No, wait, what are you talking about? It’s not like I’m your wife. I’m just a tool man, and it’s time for me to go offline!

However, Shen QingShu found that not only did the protagonist gong refuse to let him go offline, he was going to make him his bride!

Shen QingShu: I’m crying.

Such a fluffy read. The perfect guide for a couple in a relationship. They both understand that communication is important, no selfish assumption without checking with the other. I love their staged dramas which were just to annoy annoying parties, and I loved how ML's friends getting back on him once they heard one of the 'scenarios' he had staged before (they don't know it was fake), lol~

I don't usually like something too fluffy, But such a healthy and fluffy relationship, I just cannot skip it. All in all, it... more>> was a very enjoyable and interesting read. <<less

It was funny overall, but it felt dull as the time went by.

Around chapter 80+++ or something, the main plot just started. It's kind of tiring to wait, because I started reading this novel for the plot in the summary so I kind of expected it to be quicker pace than this.

The metaphor of car and driver stopped being funny after the first 30 chapters.

Currently at chapter 141.

I really love how the story started, I've never read such Bickering Couple before. The ML was well written. I like how he was considerate towards the MC. Although it seems they lack iq when they were acting while faceslapping the characters, it was quite entertaining until it kept being repeated. It wasn't hilarious nor funny anymore. When they got together, it seems their little bantering they used to do before, completely vanish. I don't like that. You can be sweet to your partner and on top... more>> of that bicker together. It used to be fluffy when they got together until the author decided that every single chapter afterword would be sweet fluffy annoying moments. I realized at some point I stopped laughing and became indifferent while reading until it turned into Complete annoyance. I should have known it when author decided to spend so much time when MC was filming his first drama. There were too many chapters, but I thought author would keep up with the comedy so I kept reading until it turned into fluufy annoying without Comedy.

200+ chapters for a modern day slice of life faceslapping novel, I should have known it would be dragging. You can't have every single chapters describing their love. It's to repetitive. Dropping at 141, I don't think further chapters would be that entertaining anymore. <<less

The beginning was fun!! But the novel is unnecessarily long!

Once they get together, I kinda lost interest & ditched it

An absolutely hilarious ride with a genuinely healthy and sweet relationship, face-slapping, smart characters, and so much more. Don't expect much from the villains though. They are kinda s*upid.

It's a really smooth sail, to be honest. I mean the protagonists act like a couple even when they are in a friend-with-benefits relationship. It's kinda s*upid how neither of them realised that they like the other even though they act so sweet with each other.

The one I want to talk about is ML's brother. Brother of the year right here people!... more>> He is such a good brother. And he acts as a real older brother would. Teasing his brother by recording embarrassing videos of him and threatening to show them to his parents and MC if he doesn't praise him to heaven, helping him when needed the most and always worrying about where his brother became poor after he stopped giving him pocket money. Love this guy!!

I do feel like the novel kinda overstayed its welcome. I mean if you at the other works of the author you can see they like it long. It should have ended when the MC celebrated his 23rd birthday and maybe some more chapters could have been used to tie up loose threads. But I don't hate the fact it went longer. The characters are so lovable and so funny that you just wish it would last a little longer. I do hope there would be more chapters on Ml's brother, Bai Xuege and his brother, Cui Hao and his golden master, etc.

I will update again after I completed this novel. <<less

Actually at the beginning of the story HC (ml) and SQS (mc) have a fun and funny relationship. The SQS family after transmigration is very brainless and weird, but I can still tolerate it because this is one of the author's works that I love.

HC takes good care of SQS and always supports him, even though he initially didn't support SQS's career in entertainment but he understands that he can't manage other people's lives. This is a light and funny story, almost 60 more chapters are needed before SQS is... more>> really shown to deepen his acting career which he loved and dedicated in his previous life and his intentions in this life.

And to be honest, I felt bored when the SQS suddenly wrote bunch of story about him and HC that I thought was too sudden for the characters, and the further I read the story the more boring I felt. The development is a bit messy with the flow of stories I usually read from the same author and this is probably the lowest rated story I can give.

Normally I could re-read Li Anshi other story for 2-3 times, but maybe not for this one. <<less

This is too good. I've been laughing to much... this is good exercise! The MC ML relationship is amazing! He's so smart and sharp no lotus or bit*h of any flavor can match. My only regret is that I can't suggest this story to any of my friends (because they don't read bl)

Just ain’t my cup of tea right now lol

The banter is funny but I think that it’s a bit overdone. Like they’re in their 20s already but because of the too much banter, I initially thought they were 12-15 year olds.

It’s funny but the face slapping kinda feels forced.

Anywaaay this is just my personal take on this novel. Still give it a try!

Note to self
Spoiler

To reread? No

The dialogues are so funny, the sense of humor had me cracking up a few times !

Really fun, dog blood drama, face slapping story. The CP are so in love in a very refreshing way, they love each other and love to reaffirm their love to one another, they both communicate really well. After the kidnapping it felt a little boring because the antagonists don't really appear much after. Without a few rounds of face slapping in between work and success -- the pace was a little tiring to read,... more>> but it's still really satisfying if you enjoy entertainment novels. <<less

Hard to rate since I'm reading the MTL which is collectively destroying my brain cells. I'm also sucky at MTLing fluff novels because my interest decreases exponentially over the course of a long novel like this one.

However, it was a pretty enjoyable ride before with a pretty lively ML and MC, and after c90 it starts picking up so I'm hoping the overall story here once completely translated will be nice. But the way the MC and ML deal with their respective conflicts... I have to say it's very poorly... more>> and selfishly thought out a lot. That's one con of this novel.

But this is fluff so I'm going to try to give this the benefit of doubt and not take everything too seriously and just enjoy the comedic ride, our shameless MC and ML, and few serious moments weaved in between. Also, don't read the MTL. Or do, but it's slowly decreasing my grammar levels. <<less

Pretty funny novel, although there were some parts that almost made me throw my phone from the second hand embarrassment. Poor ML, getting caught in embarrassing situations by his evil loving big brother. Devious big brother was the best character in the novel.

This couple has pretty good communication and they hit it off pretty quickly. There is a bit of emotional turmoil in the middle when the novel's protagonist shou pops out, but it's very brief.

However, the novel almost lasted too long. There wasn't really much going on near the... more>> end as it's smooth sailing for MC's career. <<less

The story itself is really good!! But sometimes the chapters feel as though there are parts missing where it’ll skip from one scene to the next. This mostly happens after the 100 chapters point but it’s irritating. This novel is super entertaining and the car & driver thing is funny, a bit repetitive but still funny and it acts as an inside joke for the couple making them seem more like a couple. I stopped reading before end bc the novel seemed like it was wrapping up a bit too... more>> slow for my tastes after an already slow burn. But overall a good novel <<less

I just came here to say— god I love this author so much, like first I read the villain president’s lover and I was like “I need to read more of her works”

let me tell you the amount of Green Tea and Car mentions had me cackling up the walls, the MC is such a dramatic and a savage— and I love him for that. And the ML has to be one of my favorites, like Chu Cheng from VPL. I want a man like these two asdjdnelflf.

I swear y’all... more>> need to check it out because it’s just perfect 😂✋ <<less

The relationship between the two main characters is extremely sweet. Their communication and understanding of each other is great.

My only issue is that everything that happens is TOO convenient and is resolved too easily. There’s a spectrum between over-dramatic and no-conflict. This borders on no-conflict. Yes, there are antagonists and problems, but ML basically solves everything and MC coasts along.

Unnecessarily too long... Author could cut it shorter but decided to fill up a lot of fillers, although some are fun. Honestly tho this author's works are either hit or miss. I've read her previous works where some are hella boring while some are good like this one, just too long.

I'm just leaving a review now since I'm reading it waaaay slower than usual cuz I'm starting to get tired of it... My attention span is not great lol.

I love both MC and ML, they are so perfect for each... more>> other. Thankfully MC changed ML's fate or else he'll lose his original brilliance. Btw Han Cheng is one of the best ML in danmei too! Mah man is so precious! Also love his bro Han Yu a lot, this guy is golden...

I love a lot of characters here and also hate some... Overall if you don't mind reading a long story with casual showbiz full of dog food and laughs then go ahead try this out. If it is in a theme of interstellar or just some fantasy the length would be ideal cuz I wish the previous novel I read is this long... Just speed run the filler chapters since some are insignificant or doesn't affect much the story. <<less
