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.

My hand slipped and instead of 3 I rated it 2 stars instead, but well it's not that much different. It's very hilarious at first, but it's became a bit unbearable to me because ML's way of speaking and attitude came off as "objectifying" the MC. It's used too much and too long so this joke or "fluff" leave a bad taste instead.

... more>>
Spoiler

I know that ML is a tsundere and hasn't realized his feeling yet, moreover their relationship indeed started as FWB and then became closer to sugar daddy so to a degree, ML's treatment was really too good for such relationship. But at the moment, they have never made clear what kind their relationship is. In my understanding, MC is not his yet, but he is so possessive and overbearing. Although he still let MC act, it's still come with a lot of conditions which showed distrustful attitude. I'm not sorry I don't find this behaviour cute. I rather have an outspoken yandere than this kind of tsundere. It felt like a passive-aggressive act. ML is sweet outside, but his supposed "cute" thoughts made my eyes roll.

[collapse]

I also felt complicated towards MC who doesn't mind being treated that way. It's great that he doesn't treat it seriously, but it also made me wonder why he doesn't mind??

However this is a veteran author as you can see in the plot, writing, and characters. If you don't mind the fact that I mentioned or not as sensitive as me, this is a truly good book to read.

Spoiler

Maybe this author is just not my type. I've tried her other works and I don't like them. Her idea of "cute" is always clashed with mine. At least there is always one thing that irks me so much like this one

[collapse]

Of course you also have to read other reviews to know more what type of story this is and whether it'll suit your taste. But at least for me, the start of the book was reallly hillarious and I have no regret for reading that part although it seem I'll abandon this sooner or later.

Review summary: what I thought as the joke became the main drive of the story instead. The story is not to be taken seriously. It fall sort of my expectations. <<less

OH MY GOD

I LOVE THIS NOVEL

I can't stop laughing, my stomach hurts so much...

... more>> The dynamics in general are funny. The MC is one that won't make you roll your eyes but instead applaud. ML is not your typical one who's overbearing, and doesn't care about his shou... nah, he's a normal human, who blushes, who likes making fun of MC by saying things that the MC doesn't wanna hear, he also gets bullied by his older brother who loves him in a brotherly way...

This ML is really HUMAN and not some blackBellied ML who doesn't give sh*t about his shou

GOOD <<less

The main couple is cute fluffy I like it when they have any misunderstanding they will explain their reasons to their lover, try to understand each other, and grow up together. The characters are written well, they have their own personality and backstory.

The problem is this novel is TOO smooth sailing, mc's journey and career seem too easy, almost everybody (that's not villains) loves him. Also, I think this novel is too long but not so many important parts included, I prefer the story that focuses on the main plots... more>> more than extra cute sweet loving scenes so I don't think this novel is my cup of tea.

After the main problem about the original book's protagonist shou is solved (which should be the main plot of the novel according to the novel description, however, it was solved extremely quick, surprisingly), It has gradually become more monotonous. I don't find it interesting anymore and I don't know which way the novel plot will be developed to, it's just too fluffy that it makes this so boring, just ordinary life with MC and ml, with other side characters blablabla.

Yeh, but I'm still reading it somehow <<less

This is my first time to review. The story is cute, fluffy, hilarious and have a whole lot of sweetness. From friends with benefits to lovers. Definitely the first time I read this. Both the MC and the ML are both understandable towards each other and would talk out of their feelings. There are maybe a dog blood drama but overall it's worth it to read.

5/5

I'm surprised by how many negative reviews this got because I wasn't expecting it. This is a rare novel with characters that actually communicate and try to understand each other. They love each other which is why they do their best to support what the other person wants even if it goes against what they themself want. I felt like people are so used to face slapping and unhealthy relationships that they find this boring.

The plot itself is pretty mild and it just focuses on how the MC and ML... more>> realize they actually like each other more than just physical attraction. However it does make up in terms of comedy. I think people should understand that most of the time, novels are going to be unreal, after we read novels because we want to escape from real life.

I really liked the family, especially ML's brother. I felt like he was very realistic compared to all the other older brother in novels. Sibling rivalry is common and we always pay pranks on each other and try to get each other in trouble, but we protect each other when it comes to outsiders. And I can confirm we're always ready to record family members embarrassing moments. Parents were so sweet and it's rare to see such supportive parents.

The story was hilarious especially with everyone's oscar level acting in creating the suffocating love drama to annoy the haters. I couldn't stop laughing and I enjoyed all the silly plots. I recommend reading this if you like healthy fluffy relationships and fun characters. <<less

I've read this before. Stopped and continue, cuz I was waiting for the translation. Anyways, maybe because I didnt re read the whole thing but it felt like im reading extra chapters now? They dont seems to have any problem and looked like they just finishing off the loose ends. It was so light that it bored me. Although it was hilarious, fairly good plot and well written, I dont think I need to read the whole thing anymore.

I dnf'ed it but its a good read. 4/5

Love it! The characters are so interesting, cute, and funny! ML is the greenesttttt of the green among all rich president trope! No s*upid angst or misunderstanding, it’s just so sweeeeet! Sweet but not coyly sweet and cliche, I really enjoy it! I teared up in some part too, they’re just such precious characters. Other supporting characters are also so nice. But because it’s romcom, there are some weak plot here no there but overall I would reread it again because it made me happy.

Humor 5/5
This is the funniest book I have ever read. I was laughing so hard at points that I had to hold my stomach. I mean, it was full on audible laughter 🤗 I was constantly chuckling while reading this.

Characters 5/5
The MC is also one of my favourite MCs of all time. He goes for what he likes and never looks back. He has courage and loves live and the ML with all his soul.
The ML is another one on the best characters... more>> list. He is so cute, childish, responsible and a great partner. If I could fine somebody like him to accompany me I would have no regrets.
The characterization of the MC and ML is so thoughtful. They come across as real three dimensional people. I cannot stress enough how great the characters are in this book I truly have to commend the author.

Romance 5/5
The romance here is sooooo cute. It is such a healthy and happy relationship and you can really feel their love for each other through the page. I could not keep the smile of my face while I was reading.

Translation 5/5
Thank you translator for picking up this book and translating it so well. The MTL (For the extras) is also readable enough.

Plot 4/5
If you want a really plot heavy book this is not for you. This story is more of a slice of life book, you basically follow the MC and ML through their daily lives and interactions. Their are some weird moments, especially with the face slapping portion of this novel. Their was one part in particular that I felt was really unnecessary and didn't really fit into the story (It kinda felt like reading a different book altogether). But it was only 2 chapters and I don't really think its fair to lower the rating too much.

Spoiler

I meant the kidnapping portion btw.

[collapse]

Conclusion
This story is very fluffy, very funny, super entertaining and the romance so so sweet and fulfilling.
So if any of that appeals to you, you definitely shouldn't miss this novel. <<less

The novel started great but went completely downhill for me after endless filler and unnecessary text. Parts were I found unnecessary tend to focus on a specific event which drags on waaayy to long before moving the plot and this happens multiple times. I dropped this at chapter 150. The ML & MC are great and I liked their interactions but that wasn't enough to keep me invested till the end.

Such an enjoyable read. I loved the banter and interactions between the leads way too much, it was so entertaining and now finally understand what eating dog food means.

However, after they got together, something changed and I don't feel like reading on now. I'm dropping it for now.

Still reading for now but will probably stop soon.

Overall the novel is really great. Very lighthearted and fluffy, a lot of face slapping and very Mary Sue. All the antagonists’ IQ are offline and they’ve been face slapped by the MC and ML so many times they’re more of cannon fodders. After the last antagonist goes offline, it seems to be mostly spreading MC and ML’s sugar.

OKAI OKAI TAKE MY 5 STARS OKAI

  • it was really good at the starting like the MC and ML are realky made for each other the ML is very doting to the MC and both of them are really the best comedic duo out there
  • i had so much fun reading the comedic parts lmaooo but I wish the MC like raised on his own kind? Without the ML havin to secretly support him in the back like tht cos eitherways the MC is veryyy talented he will rise above also the producer part was a bit rushed I felt it was like eh
  • then the character setting thing oso I felt it was a bit eh like the MC transmigrate change plot alrd and still this og MC nad og ML meant to be bs I think tht was utter nonsense but thank god he opened his eyes
  • anyways frm chapt 150 it was pretty draggy I had to drop cos its nvr ending and was ruining the impression I had on the book hmph idk what the author-nim was thinkin : (
thts all anyways overall is 8/10 though

This is great if you're in the mood for a light, sugary story. The couple has one of the most healthy (hehe and physically active) relationships.

It's censored so there's just euphuism for their "driving" lol.

The story is funny and it's fun to see the couple smack-talk their enemies.

The story begins with transmigration, but it becomes something more. The ML is perfect and the couple makes me envious.

In a way it's Slow Romance because they only get together 'Together' in hundred chapters.

But all the Fluff and Sweet moments. All the kiss, clings, and cuddles were already exists since the first 10 chapters. And stay for long and almost at every chapters they (MC & ML) stay together.

Anyway this novel is TRULY ABSOLUTELY EPIC WIN!!!

MC and ML acting together to Fool and Confuse and Upsetting the Opponents aka the Villains and Annoying People. But not only them, sometimes they roped other people to join them in certain situations... more>> and they DONT disappoint us!!!

I Laughed So Many Times!!! Truly Absolutely EPIC WIN!!! So Dramatic and So Hilarious!!!

The point is this novel going to be So Enjoyable and makes you laughed so many times!!! No Regret!!!

I Love it Sooo much so far and I pray this novel translation would keep going till complete with the extras!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Finished main story at 14 May 2023.

Added: Also never forgot the epic hilarious weird rivalry between Father Han and Han Yu. Forever funny! 😆👌 EPIC

Now waiting for the extras~ <<less

It doesn’t take itself very seriously, which may be what you’re looking for! It’s a novel with a staggeringly humorous tone, and is kind of a mess. I would have kept reading it but the pop-ups on the website are scaring me LOLOL I feel like I’ll get a virus T.T Because I didn’t get very far, I’m not sure if the content takes a turn and becomes more serious in the end. I don’t think so? But with the length, it seems a bit weird for it all about... more>> laughs. Oh, btw. The main premise is the typical—actor dies and transmigrates into a novel. Only he gets together with the ML pretty much in chapter 1 (though it’s a purely f*ckbuddy relationship). There’s some drama with the MC’s family but it’s not taken very seriously at all. There’s also a potential acting career in this new world? Along with a new identity as a freelance writer... So! As you can see, it’s a bit of a mess! LOLOL But a fun mess? If I had to rate it now, I would probably give it somewhere around 3/5? Maybe a little lower or higher, idk~ <<less

Exxxxxtremely funny. MC, ML and their friends/ family have the funniest interactions. MC and ML are really sweet, supportive and protective of each other.

Minused one point off because the extras were ridiculously draggy and also there were a few side couples that didn’t get any of their stories shown even though they seemed pretty interesting.

3.5 / 5 for me. As the story goes, I felt bored when reading this —more toward the moment the antagonists got what they deserved for what they're doing, it's been downhill ever since.

The romance is good —once SQS & HC are "official" just be prepared for tons of dog food. And I agreed with most comments that saying about HY. (I don't want to hear any slander toward HY or you'll hear words from your manager →_→)

The author could have wrote it less than 272 chapters tbh (213... more>> main story + 59 extra = hell to read, plus with repetitive cliches situation.) In my personal opinion, it's NOT necessary to read the extras, especially the last extra (247 - 272). The ending of last extra felt anti climax and rushed. (.... and it took me two days to be able finish the last extra chapters, and anybody please tell me how to rewind time to get my precious time back.) <<less

If you want the most stable, non toxic, mature, fun, respectful CP you have to read this. Both of them are great communicators, and even as MC can't say certain things due to his transmigration, he NEVER lies, and always say what he need and wants to say. The ML even when he's feeling possessive, he never ever hurt MC and always yield to him for his happiness. Additionally both of them are in sync and have the same brain waves so they act in tandem to fool others and... more>> it's too hilarious.

Read this to soothe your soul after countless abusive ML and weak willed MC. <<less
