Ge Xiu is a nefarious star criminal. After being arrested, according to the Interstellar Supreme Law, he will face two choices: either serve a sentence of 1156 years in black prison or enter countless virtual worlds and become a miserable person who is tortured and abused all his life. How much he suffers is how much his sentence can be reduced. Ge Xiu chose the second one without hesitation.

So… The trial surveillance system stared dumbfounded at the Former•Interstellar Most•Wanted•Criminal•Currently•Weak•Poor Ge Xiu in the virtual world, punching the empire, kicking the Federation, overthrowing oppression and building a new world. Then he turned his head to the camera and cried: “I’ve had a miserable life, really.”

“…” The surveillance system that was about to explode of anger: “Like hell I’d believe you!”

Hello, Bamboo translator here!

This is a great, action packed novel with one of the craziest MC you might ever meet who treats rebellion as his breakfast and constructing weapons of destruction as a dinner. He would never let anyone decide his fate at all costs and is very intelligent despite the somewhat childish behaviours.

The arcs

... more>>
Spoiler

This is Quick Transmigration novel made out of nine to ten interesting arcs where there's always a twist

We have: interstellar arc; where MC kidnaps a starship and becomes a captain of pirate ship and ML is a captain of whole fleet fighting against the Alliance;

Forces of dark and lights gods arc, where MC is a human with Dark God's bone inside his body from an experiment and he becomes really powerful in that one, ML is the last fallen fenrir.

mermaid arc, with emperor gong that became absolutely obsessed with bloodthirsty dangerous merman Ge Xiu.

ABO arc, where Ge Xiu is an omega and ML is a merchant treading on the line of the law, who proposes wants marriage first emotions later.

Entertainment industry arc where ML is a big boss in entertainment plus arms industry and Ge Xiu is a black reputation small actor.

Modern beastmen arc, where Ge Xiu becomes a kitty and ML is leader of the rebellion against humans (comeback of the fenrir).

Apocalypse arc where Ge Xiu turns into a zombie early on and picks up ML to raise as food rations.

Fairy tale, where Ge Xiu is a princess kidnapped by the big gullible dragon ML.

Unlimited Flow, with Ge Xiu having fun breaking instances and ML being a ghost following him.

aaand, arc 10: return of the past.

[collapse]

ML

Spoiler

Is the same person every time. It's easy to discern and there's no unnecessary love drama other than Ge Xiu not trusting ML (quite understandable). In fact ML is the reason Ge Xiu got dragged into illusionary worlds because ML's brain would only react when he saw him... It's all hidden in their past and there's a lot of foreshadowing to it.

I especially love this ML, he loves all of MC's craziness and MC is like a light in his devoid of emotions life. He respects all of MCs decisions and falls for him early on, but being a man used to hiding his feelings it takes a few arcs for a confession~ You'll never be disappointed by him though!

[collapse]

The plot is mostly Ge Xiu figuring out a way to survive in merciless words where his indentity always gets the shorter end of the stick and ML always appearing to help him and protect him from harm (even if Ge Xiu doesn't need it he still gets everything the best from ML).

The ending

Spoiler

The truth behind everything was that MC and ML were only successful experiments with extremely high mental power which was supposed to be used to make a super powerful starnet. Ge Xiu was too aggressive and was supposed to be killed but ML stopped it at the cost of him not being able to escape from there and so Ge Xiu came back, jumped into the punishment worlds and deactivated chip in MLs brain. Then he blowed up everything and took ML with him.

[collapse]

I really recommend this novel, it's a light exciting read where action just never goes down and with great MC and ML dynamic! ML has great self control and he never forced anything onto MC when he knew he didn't got his consent. Furthermore ML is just so pampering and MC so protective! They've gone a long way in all arcs.

Bloody and beautiful. Nothing can compare.

I personally like QT genre. But have you found yourself reading another QT novel and thinking "well, this was done before"? And this is basically what happens in QT all the time, they have their own routines they follow, and it's rare to see individuality. BUT THIS NOVEL IS SO NON-MAINSTREAM. And I'll tell you why.

First of all, the story.

You start in the same condition as the MC (blank), he has a memory loss, but he is told that he is a notorious space pirate,... more>> a criminal, the story makes you believe in this notion. He is put into experiment and is sent to specially built realities. But it's nothing even remotely similar to the usual play of a character, release of the task, etc. No-no-no. MC knows nothing that might help him and work in his favor. And even if he did, he will never play according to rules. He is given most unfavorable conditions, like a weak body or he is in a very dangerous situations etc. But he survives with his teeth and claws (sometimes literally). Worlds might start at a rather abrupt part and they also might end the same way (there's a reason to this too), but it doesn't really feel that way. Every world is unique to me, it relies on few details to be fully immersed. You also have enough time to enjoy an absolutely savage MC (I mean where else you'd read about MC who kills people left and right, blows things up and creates chaos everywhere), you have enough joy to see the slow burn between MC and ML. And when reading you realize that some things were not as they seemed at the beginning and the truth about MC and ML by the end of the story is really touching.

Secondly, the characters.

I can't emphasize enough how cool MC is. He is super intelligent, but his character is completely nothing you'd expect from MC. He'll shed blood if it's needed, he'll blow things up, if it's needed, there's no setting of a compassionate Jack Su who loves the world. Simpy because MC knows, although all his emotions and sensory are real, but worlds are not. So Ge Xiu might blow a ship and won't give a damn if he killed someone. The only thing unexpected between the two is that MC, who has trust issues and is alert of many things, very slowly warms up to ML. Basically they come together at the very end, so there won't be any 'hello passion pa-pa-pa' at the get-go, and it honestly would have spoiled the entire novel if it was written the other way. But feelings are real and they're good. ML is also in those worlds, as you could guess, and not without a reason. He also becomes MC's best support. The story slowly reveals who ML is and most important part, which is the past of the two, will be told at the very end, which was quite heart-wrenching to me. But it's a HE, so no worries.

The style of Sangwo.

It was my first novel I read from Sangwo, later I finished the retired infinite player and the dragon one. All novels share the same feeling and I call it - bloody and beautiful. Sangwo has a beautiful, almost poetic style when it comes to descriptions and such. But they also like to follow quite bloody stories, which are full of blood and gore. Their style is immersive and I find it really wonderful. Their characters are consistent with their settings no matter how you think about them (which is a big plus to me). Relationships do not come as abrupt, but slowly brew throughout the novel and it links both character into more solid connection.

And lastly. 'Nothing can compare' are not some loud words. I've read my share of novels and a load of those were about QT. But I've never read anything similar in terms of storyline and characters. I did meet really great QT novels that are full of charm, had wonderful worlds or characters, but still when you want to ask - is there anything close to 'Born to be rebellious'? I won't be able to answer. Because it doesn't follow the routines of MC and a system, there's no scenario to fix, no tormented souls that should be avenged, no world to save, no falling in love each world and getting old, nothing of that sort. But it's interesting and exciting. So I hope to whoever who stumbles upon this novel to give it a chance. I think it's worth to have the experience. <<less

Honestly, the novel is a bit over hyped. Granted, I only made it through half of the second arc. However, it was quite boring to read, the MC is extremely OP and can instantly know how to do all these things even though (implied no knowledge of the worlds??) The writing style also felt very detached like we can kinda see the MLs feel unexplained attraction (ugh) every arc yet it feels like MC’s only seeking out company to stave off boredom. I don’t feel invested in the arcs... more>> whatsoever :/ <<less

ML's adorations of MC already sold me early on. It's such a beautiful love, 😭

The world building was done well. What I also love is that every world generated is so interesting. Like, many times the story goes the way I wasn't expecting. Author used many cliche troupe in the QT genre but put her own twist into each world and it just adds to the intriguing on goings in the novel. I especially love the apocalypse and Calvary world. And they end in complete opposite results.

The novel is truly... more>> slow burn. MC and ML romantic relationship only started to bloom in the last few chapters. But every lead-up to their mutual love is definitely worth the agonizing wait.

How much ML cherish MC and the meager time they're allowed in every world was so so beautiful. It's heartbreaking for me every time they were separated. And as every world is a punishment world, there's no peaceful end.

And MC design is a marvel. I love the MC. He delivers to his design as a vicious cruel shou. He's certainly cruel, almost sadistic, but in his essence, a soft-hearted insecure little child. And ML played a big role on how his psych was formed.

It was a most satisfying read. I look forward for more translated chapters. Highly recommended. <<less

really good it's your standard QT novel with the standard tropes (all predictable different worlds), but I thought each different universe was an entertaining read. MC is beautiful (duh), sadistic, and wildly competent at surviving. The MC is overpowered (my pet peeve), but the author does a good job of placing him into situations where it does feel like he has to struggle somewhat lol. The ML is really into MC's sadism; That's the best way I can describe his character.

I'd say this is a slow burn novel--the ML is... more>> into MC pretty early on, but mutual affection isn't established until near the ending. It's a convincing slow burn!

My favorite world:

Spoiler

I liked the zombie apocalypse one the best! The fact that MC actually became a zombie was unexpected and kind of really entertaining. The tension about if he was gonna eat the still-human ML or not was also DELICIOUS lol... literally...

It’s boring. The MC is op which is fine but it’s almost never explained how he does the incredible things he does. No offense to the translator I know they’re working hard but the translation isn’t the best and can get quite clunky. The MC and ML have no chemistry so far. It’s just the ML falling in love with the MC and we don’t get to see how the MC really feels about the ML but from what I can tell he has no feelings for him and just... more>> sees him as a way to stave of boredom and his opinion is entirely neutral. Maybe it gets better but I can’t keep focused long enough to find out. The characters aren’t compelling enough, the writing might be good but I can’t tell because of the translation and I’m not invested in their romance so I’m gonna drop this. <<less

Feels like Clickbait. The Description sounded fresh and exciting but that only kept up for one world....

The interesting suit doesn't happen in those worlds but in the outside, and that could only fill about 5 chapters.

The created worlds are highly disappointing.

... more>> There are no happy endings in those worlds. All of them are short and if MC is living a too good life, he will either die due to organ failure or taken out directly. Some worlds end exactly at the moment when they get interesting.

Unfortunately all the worlds have the same template. MC gets set up with a problematic character design and ML is always a big boss, meeting up in a short time and from then on spoiling MC to death.

That gets pretty boring fast. I kept on reading because I was still looking for that feeling from the first world.... but never got that feeling again.

The story ending is also rather abrupt. I really would wish for a bit more. The ending felt perfunctory.

On the good side... the writing itself was ok, so was the translation. I actually did like the first world.

All in all, it's ok to read but I won't read it again. It's not entertaining enough for me. <<less

Ahhhhh please take a look at this! It has a witty, smart MC x a slowly turning yandere ML. I won't spoil much but the story begins with our criminal MC going through different punishment worlds. In those worlds he meets our lovely ML and slowly turns the world around in his favor. The worlds and plot are both great, the only lackluster thing..... you'll get at the most some heavy petting, but even that takes a while to happen. I understand the reasoning behind this, but listen, this brain... more>> of mine is wired for smut, I have some grievances about being blue balled so hard. But this is an enjoyable read and the mtl is completely readable, so make your favorite cuppa, grab a nice throw blanket and get to reading! <<less

Pros :

The MC by himself is truly worth the read. Sure he's good at being a wanted criminal and likes to go cray cray while fighting but one thing that he can't do : acting. Finally, a MC that can't act and not perfect. In the abo arc, MC is an omega and got into estrus during a war against zergs. MC then cut out his gland. We respect a responsible king.

Hats off for ML. My boi knows how to respect and treat their so. In the 1st world, ML... more>> just let MC travel all around space. In the merman arc, ML didn't sleep with MC even when given the chance. Why?? Cus ma boi doesn't want to betray MC's trust.

The arcs are interesting and most arein modern times or interstellar. One of the arc is a fantasy arc, ML is a dragon and MC is a princess. The last arc is something that I never seen before, it's a thriller game. ML is the boss and MC is a player. I appreciate the details from all of the arcs and how they connect with eachother in the real world.

The translation is quite good and the mtl is very easy. Love the little theater and the translator comments throughout the novel.

Cons :

The romance isn't something revolutionary and kinda tame. I appreciate it but not my cup of tea. This might be the closest thing I could find that resembles QTWTFOD. Honestly I enjoy the ending of this novel more. <<less

This book is awesome! Do not let the summary make you think that the MC is unlikeable or Gary Stu/overpowered. He has his own weaknesses that are quite glaring, which make the plot interesting. I am in love with this novel and here's why:

First of all, the romance; it's very slow. However, this only makes it all the more rewarding and sweet. Throughout the novel there is a slow buildup of trust and feelings. The ML is also very respectful and sweet. Nevertheless, he has his shameless moments - not... more>> in a s*xual way - which make his personality seem more realistic.

Second of all, I really like the worldbuilding. As in every quick transmigration novel, this one also doesn't fully flesh out each and every character and the rules according to which the different worlds function can sometimes be a bit wonky. However, this is never misused for plot convenience. The worlds are interesting and simply a back drop for the awesome protagonist.

Lastly, the translation is great. It isn't perfect, but very well done. The translator's little comments at the end of the chapter are always very cute and/or entertaining.

In conclusion, you should really read this book! <<less

I think I have recommended QWTFOD several times on this site somewhere, but I am now terribly tempted to go and delete all those recommendations... this story, Born to be rebellious, is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than FOD. One- so far (chapter 80-ish) no "rapey" ML. There is kissing, but not forcing the MC, really a good point. Two- the fact that the "mystery" is still there is also great. Three- the world-building of those little worlds is great. Four- so far I haven't found a reason for dropping this novel... more>> even while reading mtl version... <<less

This... was one hell of a ride. The love between MC and ML was super touching and sweet🥺🥺

The MC was a badass, a true true badass. I can't even put it into words what I just read. Definitely a secret gem I discovered, and I am super happy I did!

Spoiler alert kinda, the story is a lot more impactful and one of the reasons being the MC, his journey from distrust and then to love towards ML, how they never had scenes more intimate than kissing! Now, I know it... more>> kinds puts some people off (trust me, if I knew that I wouldn't be as happy to read it), however it just makes the story so much better and, as I said, impactful. I bet they had plenty of juicy scnese later on tho hehe *wink wink*~

Wish we got some extras tho😭😭

Edit: Actually, I guess there was 1 extra but I can't find it so oh well OTZ <<less

Great non-cliche story. You would think it's like your usual QT, but MC really is crazy!

This is a good story if you want something a bit different from accidental-cinderella stories.

He's wicked cool too, I love the Cannot-Be-Contained property of his. MC has extreme adaptive abilities, in every world we see his strength and the deep changes he makes to the world, absolutely defying usual world order but still completing tasks somehow.

ML is very interesting, he's easy to spot in every world, but he also has a complex real life. I... more>> love his and MC's backstory.

The ending (Real-World) was a bit confusing to me (Google MTL) but the other worlds were almost perfect to read. Easy to MTL even using Google. <<less

Only 14 chapters and it's already doing great 👍 sure hooked me pretty fast. Then again this novel does show it's shine right at the very beginning.

I personally can't wait until more comes out so thank-you Bamboo for deciding to translate this beauty for us to feast our eyes upon. 😊

Even though this is from Mainland China (I think). This novel feels a lot like Taiwanese novels, it's "filthy" and "unclean", you have the MC literally crawling through tr*sh and filth.

The highlight's the adventure and action, the romance itself is mainly emotional and slow, actual physical romance is scarce. The MC has trust issues (besides him being shy) and the conditions aren't favorable at all.

The downside is the repetitive use of the same descriptions, almost every time a character appears the author uses the exact same description, it gets tiring,... more>> although it gets a little better nearing the end. <<less

Definitely one of the more unique QTs. The execution falls a bit flat and at times, rushed, but it's good enough for a quick read.

I enjoyed how it's not the same as the other QTs with happy endings and full-blown romance. Even the worlds' settings and plot trajectories were different from what I've read so far. It's just not as developed & engaging as I hoped it would be but I still give it plus points for being interesting.

There was a lot of action going on and the MC was... more>> very active in carving out his own path. His violent and ruthless personality remains the same and isn't softened due to love or whatever. But he gains more depth the more we see the changes brought about by his increasing trust and affection for the ML.

The ML is somewhat just there but the last few chapters (about the real world) made me appreciate him more. Of course, the author gave him the "powerful-top-of-the-food-chain ML" halo. But it's still acceptable since not everything goes his way, especially with the endings of the arc. <<less

It's an undeniably good novel. If you remove all the unnecessary description about how unhinged the MC is and how yandere-ish the ML is, you can cut half of the book. But I won't deduct stars cuz I'm kind.

But hey why you gotta compare FOD and this? While FOD is holy bible, this is gospel. Eh I ended up comparing too, but whatever.

Still don't like how the ML usually falls too fast for the MC for no clear reason though. Maybe have reasons, idk, not there yet.
Spoiler

but who am I to say when the MC in FOD already eat the ML in the first arc.

[collapse]

Anyways not much to comment, go read it, it's good, except you need to have an ample time to read to scan through all the detailed descriptions that will definitely be mercilessly cut off by grammarly as redundant.

It is 4 stars for me as a whole just for the useless descriptions alone but I won't cut stars here cuz I'm kind.

Novel started off great! Ruthless And crazy MC is just my cup of tea and trust me the MC is C.R.A.Z.Y!

But towards the 4/5 work the MC just starts to end up like normal shous and the ML started overpowering him which was kinda boring for me😭

Still, very well written and a solid story.

I wanted to rate this, but considering that I am only on chapter 12, I decided against it, as it wouldn't be fair to the novel.

It's actually amazing. It's filled with action, the MC is smart, beautiful (of course), as well as CRAZY. Like, he is literally insane. I would have loved it if I wasn't always thinking, that he needs medical help.

To be honest, even without the ML this novel would've been just fine.

... more>> Even with all this good qualities I am not going to continue with this novel.

I just can't help but feel bored. I really wanted to like it but I just can't. I mean I like OP MC (s) but mixed with craziness, just makes me want to send them to a mental hospital.

Maybe it's the fact that I don't like the personality of the MC or maybe it's because the action is too crazy for me to handle. I just can't like it.

I may come back to continue it in the future, cause it's filled with great action.

Even with all this, I just want to say that if you are someone interested in action novels, then go for it. You might just like it. <<less
