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

This an advice: don't expect romance to casually bloom in the first chapters. You need a lot of patience for this first; before you can finally taste the story development and romance. To me this story is addicting. ? One of those web novel that is both engaging and satisfying. The chapter release is so frequent and smooth. I literally check every week for updates and whenever I finish a chapter, I am so impatient for the next one.

Anyway this is definetely recommended. The story, characters, plot, trials events and... more>> the understandable details of the settings of the world/novel, is totally captivating. Not to mention the comedy! XD

Anyway, this story is really long. Usually I finish a light novel in one day if it's good. But, this one took me 4 days! Oh, I also read the whole story from the start for the second time. And only after that second read, I realized that all those boring paragraphs in the previous chapters were actually ALL RELEVANT TO THE PLOT. ? As the others who rated this low, the first chapters aren't really engaging. I even skipped several paragraphs because the reader thoughts was dragging on and on. Anyway many monologues or rpg stuff details, that I didn't bother to read.
If you are famigliar with the old classic rpg games, then you might enjoy this. Though, unlike the other "I transforted.." series I read, the story doesn't focus hole time on RPG feautures (stats, cannon foddrer characters, etc-etc). Instead they casually mention them.

Only when the Reader transmigrated in the novel that the story finally gets exciting and intense. ? But, not that kind of intense that make you want to read it nonstop. To fully enjoy this you must read it with lots of patience. ESPECIALLY for those that aren't fond of story development but, are only looking for a intense romance story.
BECAUSE THE STORY DEVELOPMENT IS VERY PRESENT. And quite well-written and well thought too. The events are totally UNEXPECTED. = Which is so engaging & fantastic.

Plus the two main characters are great. The reader is so funny and I think his personally and background story is really good, totally reasonable. The protagonist is also very captivating. Both parties faced similar traumas which later brought them together. They're perfect together. I really love this two together. ? <<less

I rarely write reviews, but because I love this light novel so much, I want to say something about it.

The story is wonderful and the MC, Du Ze, is the type who appears cold, but is actually really isn't. His thoughts are actually really funny to read, contrasting to his outer appearance. The ML eventually falls heads over heels over our cute and brave MC, becoming someone quite possessive and yandere over Du Ze, but also shows Du Ze a side of protection and warmth that is not shown to... more>> anybody else.

The translation is very smooth and easy to read, little grammar errors that are easily overlooked.

Recommended for people who are okay with reading a lot of killing scenes and *ahem* heated scenes, but also want to enjoy a funny and fluffy romance that blooms between the adorable and sometimes dense MC and a possessive and powerful ML <<less

Started off a a guilty pleasure and ended up being my most awaited update of the week. There is very much an unreliable narrator, or rather just a very silly skewed MC; seeing everything through his blurry vision is a joy... especially when the one aspect of the novel that the readers can perceive with the greatest clarity allowed is the deep obsessive love of the ML.

I have read up to the translated chapter.

I can say the premise is very interesting. It's about how a reader is transported to the world of his favorite book and meets the protagonist. The protagonist of that novel is a mixed blood hence the title of the book is 'Mixed Blood'. There are 8 races and yes he has the ability to transform into them. Due to the MC's comment to the author the protagonist ends up with a warped personality. So our MC due to guilt wants to change... more>> the protagonist back to normal. From what I have read, the MC is very hilarious and kind of an otaku. He is deaf and due to that he is ostracized and feels disconnected from the world and seems to have mastered the pokerface. But his internal monologue is comedy gold.

The protagonist of the novel seems to fall to the yandere side a bit? He is very possessive, from what I can tell. The MC isn't minding it so I guess that's fine. He is also very cold and ruthless (due to the blackening?).

And I am actually here for the romance and fantasy. From what I have gathered it's very romantic the relationship progresses at a normal pace. overall it's a great read and has many likable things, a good romance, engaging plot and humor. <<less

Definitely not the worst thing I've ever read. This is one of the novels that helped me get hooked on reading webnovels, so I may be a little bit biased in my review.

Now that I've now read several novels, I feel a bit more critical of the writing in this story. However, when I first read this story, it was like a whole new world. I enjoy the way the MC seems somewhat unique from protagonists in other novels. Something I also liked was the MC's "power", which was really creative and I found it one of the more interesting parts of this story. The writing of the story doesn't feel super immersive, but I still enjoyed it without being provided a lot of detail. Additionally, the translation was easy to understand and digest.

However, I didn't enjoy the SA/rapey scenes or vibes portrayed at certain points in the novel. Similarly, the ML fell into the overdone "domineering and possessive" personality trope. While this was portrayed pretty well with the story and he had a very valuable reason for being this way, it can sometimes become bland when so many love interests in romance stories are portrayed as such.

Overall, I'd probably give this novel a 3-3.5/5, but I rated it a 4/5 since I... more>> initially enjoyed reading it when I first discovered it (minus the SA. Nobody likes that). <<less

A book for those moments where you need an easy, fun and, yes, pe*verted reading.
We have all had that book or books where we would like to meet the protagonist, live adventures with him, know his world... and that is just what happens to Du Ze. But this reader must face a small problem and that is that it has completely destroyed the story of the protagonist.
"Mixed Blodd" has become a chaotic world where all races are on the verge of collapse and where "the rules" try to keep the story going despite interference from the reader among others.
Still, Du Ze is determined to save the protagonist and may not in the way he intended at first.

Okay, I just finished reading it. It's not perfect but I really do like it which is why I was able to finish all the chapters in one day. The main couple are really cute and I do like the minor characters though some of them were forgotten in the end.

The main character's rival, for example, was simply left behind somewhere and we never heard from him again.

That's not too bad since the focus of the story is the reader and protagonist, who are both really interesting.

Simple 3 words this one worth it!! It's worth my time I kept pushing this novel to read later and finally now that I completed it feels kinda empty in my heart...

Everytime when MC is sympathetic to ML from readers point of view I feel so distressed for ml, but at some point ML is so twisted that it feels scary lmao😂😂

Spoiler

When there is conversation between the good of creation and MC he asks MC after knowing that it's a fictional world**he us just a fictional character why do you like him so much?? * fir it MC answers *does the reader need a reason to like the protagonist**and smiles ahh what an answer and I specially created a folder to save those interesting lines at the end of each chapter they are just soiii beautiful and touching anyway is worth reading and suits MOST OF THE Readers TASTE✨✨

Spoiler

not the ~reader transmigrates into a book~, but the ~saga of becoming a god through a series of challenges by a person who was a loner, but suddenly made some friends on his way~

[collapse]

, but "possessive love" and "love interest falls in love first" are a guilty pleasures, and the reviews were good. At the end I've read it till the end, but can't say it was very pleasurable.

At first I didn't understand what's happening. And I thought it'll change later, but it didn't change, I just got kinda used to it.

Obviously I found some things likeable, like the relationship between MC and ML - not that I liked everything what happened between them, but at least I've read that parts with interest. Because all the fighting scenes (that are many!) I just scrolled without really reading.

And I must say the author has a good sense of humor.

So, it has pros and cons. I'd like it to be more clear of a genre from the snippet. <<less

I really liked this! It’s not ~the best thing I’ve ever read~ but if you’re looking to kill time and are on the fence, I’d recommend starting it. Some general reflections after finishing:

I agree with comments about Du Ze being bland (at least outwardly) and there are definitely times where he veers from “relatively useless because he’s surrounded by monsters” into “actually useless” territory, but it’s not enough to ruin the story. He also makes up for it by using his brain. It’s not because he’s a genius, but because... more>> he uses basic common sense and has read webnovels before so he can predict the cliches.

Xiu is possessive, but not in a way that’s scary towards Du Ze, which I love. Sometimes possessive characters take their frustrations out on their partner, but that’s not the dynamic here. It’s also very clear they trust and like each other so there’s hardly any frustrating miscommunications.

The side characters are just there for the purpose of furthering the plot and don’t get any development, but again I didn’t hate it. I was more interested in the two leads anyways.

Overall, a good COMPLETE story, which are hard to come by! <<less

Love it, I started reading it by accident since I finished a long novel and need a change of mood so I look for something shorter and easy to read. Never thought it would be so good thank you for the hard work on translating this novel.
Highly recommend it.😍🥰😊

I like this story a lot. MC is a student. He liked following an author named Yi Ye Zhi Qiu. Although he likes the stories the author wtites. He is a black-powder fan that writes negative comments. The story starts like that. Then our MC will find himself in another world. We will see ML in there. Anyways I like ML and MC. The reader and protagonist definitely have to be in true love.

Lmao I snicker while reading other reviews here. I think they got used to the other CN novels with fast paced chapter 1 fall in love tropes, fast paced face slapping scenes, and an overly narcissistic MC that is too arrogant since their OP, or too shameless ╮⁠ (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) ⁠╭ I think we forgot that Falling in love is not that quick for anyone XD.

Well, to each our own I guess.

For me, I really liked how the title made you hold onto your seat waiting when will this idiots fall in love?!?!? And when it finally happened, and after it was wrapped up, you will be left with; holy f*ck they are in love.

The Story was well paced as well as the romance. A little... more>> bit of slow burn and lots and lots of plot but holy f*ck it served when it finally combusted into a f*cking bonfire. The world building was amazing. Each race has it's own *cough* spicy quirk *cough* which made me look forward to meeting everyone.

While this can still be arguably imperfect and plot holes here and there, This story still holds a special shelf in my heart since this is one of the BL that I read way back then (alongside FOG, another story I am really fond of). Years after coming back to this, I still have fond memories of crying as I read it and the feeling of emptiness after it was done.

Bonus points since the story was quite *cough* spicy *cough*

ANYWAYS PLEASE THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT

The prose was excellent in this. Some lines were raw as hell and hit hard or made me swoon, and the talk about the nature of the word and subjectivity of morality was so satisfying to read.

A story doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be good enough for you to like it. I think that's a good message to take away from this content. Many protagonists can be unsatisfying, but they still deserve a chance to be read and have their stories told.

I put off reading this... more>> for... several years, because I was unsure it would meet my expectations. Well, I'm pleased to say it did! Every part of the concept was fully delivered. This is also one of those rare stories where the transmigration is fully explained in-universe. It's funny and embarrassing and heartwrenching and sexy- and really, a little bit of each is enough to be satisfying. I didn't really find any points to particularly drag in terms of pacing. It might not be your favorite novel, but it is good to read and I know people for whom I will be reccing it.

I really appreciated the translation, there were good footnotes and localizations attempted where necessary. It makes me wish I had been around during posting to provide the positive feedback I think Reika deserves for all of the time and effort. I especially appreciated the inclusion of manhua panels and art from weibo! Illustrations really made the experience more vivid.

It wasn't as r*pey as some of these reviews will insist. I'm pretty irritated about that actually. It's a serious thing with actual meanings. A guy who already in general struggles with saying no isn't being specifically forced into s*x. When he knows if he truly told the ML to stop, he would be listened to, it's consensual. MC's biggest problem seems to be his own physical weakness and stamina as a barrier, not a lack of emotional desire. Repeatedly, after the one out of control violent r*pe, ML goes out of his way to swear and ensure it won't happen again. He gets excited about giving head, using lube, doing foreplay, it's not just heteronormative pistoning. MC doesn't constantly pass out, only occasionally, which is good for smutty danmei.

If you don't like ABO or monster dicks, you can probably skip some of the smut. Luckily, it's all posted separately than the main chapters! Easy to avoid.

The plot, internal logic and magic systems, narration, sense of character, I was perfectly happy.

People are annoyed by Du Ze. I get that. But for me, it's refreshing to have a protagonist who's weak, knows it, but isn't constantly infantilized by other characters. Only ML because he's already clingy. Being myopic and HoH doesn't mean he must be a genius or talented or graceful to compensate- he's just a normal guy, a huge dork, and that's perfectly fine without getting all tragic maiden about it. A MC who knows and displays in-universe that he's not super smart is just consistency. Smooth brained rights. Plus, I also have social anxiety, and boy does your throat truly stop working at the slightest provocation. This mensao was pretty relatable for me.

Anyway, incredibly solid 4/5 ☆. Reading this may not change your life, but it's still a great read in the world of danmei offerings. <<less

I like the ending, the novel premise was interesting but maybe I’ve just read too many novels. Nothing was surprising, the twist was okaish, the narration gave a headache. Too much info dump. It seems like a much larger story crammed into 96 chapters. The ML seems a bit too simple, he’s mostly portrayed as having a single trait-loving the MC. The MC is ok but to easy going with the crap the ML is pulling and seems obsessed&autistic. His range of emotions portrayed, beside the ‘moe’ inner frenzy, is... more>> as paralyzed as his face. I don’t mind dubious consent but practically all they sexy times start a bit dubiously and one time even has wounds& blood as a consequence but our dear MC just shrugged and moved on. ML seemed to be temporarily more affected by it but he soon forgets and continues to ‘bully’ his darling MC left and right. So... great world building, interesting premise and future development but lacking on the subtle emotional development that could have made this story great. <<less

I love everything about this novel, even the description of the protagonist of the novel's inner thoughts. He's an ideal ML because he has every element that makes him likable having suffered throughout his childhood it's logical his love for the MC is possessive. Other than the way MC voiced out his adoration for our ML he is crafty with his antifan antics and how he uses his knowledge about the novel world to help out our ML. I wouldn't say he's a gary stu who knows it all and... more>> completes all missions he set his eyes on with flying colors but he manages to be admirable and loving which is not something every narrator is able to do.

The story is very engaging and I kept wanting to read until the end of the story. I love this type of novel where our MC transmigrate but in this novel he did not become a minor character/the bad cannon fodder which is a new breath of fresh air.

Spoiler

The ending they ended up together in an HE setting after the MC went back to his own world. But I still think that it's not that good because he'll need to use a puppet that'll function in his stead and go to another dimension to meet our ML. I just kind of wish that he'll be with the ML 24/7 without puppet involved and that maybe the memories of him be erased from his family. But then again I guess this is how the author compromises with the ending to make it HE for everyone even minor character's like the MC's family.

He was abandoned and betrayed by all his friends and allies. Whenever he still chose to believe in people, he would just be betrayed again and again, repeatedly hurt until he was on the verge of death — it was only then that his faith in others was destroyed. (and no wonder somes reader called him Useless and idiot and s*upid!) 😂😁 ofc he's nothing but ordinary silly. cute reader, he only have a O-poits thats why even he's body cut into pieces then he recovers soon he also can't to explain to ML that's he's from another world and this novel and you are Protagonist and I'm reader.. he can't say this or spoilers the story...

and when the MC always got kidnapped and hostage he chain the MC so no one can hostage him again😂or kidnapped. he can't leave the ML for 10mtrs, MC don't care abt chain he also love the ML and afraid the he lost him!

I Du Ze comment: “Mixed Blood”, Rating: 1, Chapter 275 Review: The angry protagonist couldn’t endure the author’s abuse anymore so he came to this world; he killed the author and destroyed the world while doing so.]

3.5 stars for this and one star for how author portrayed the MC.

The MC here isn't OP but just a normal person. But what I liked most about the MC is, he isn't like some s*upid novels where MC behaves like some delicate flower. Come on! Even girls are not like that okay!

So yep although Author showed that MC was week and a normal person, he wasn't some delicate flower from those s*upid novels.

The story was a new concept probably or just a mix up or everything to make it... more>> seem new.

I understand what author was trying to portray but the way it was portrayed might not be understood by everyone.

Also the smut part was with lots of blood and pain. Actually, it didn't affected me much since I skimmed through half of it and even skipped half of the smut part.

So if you just skip smut part too you might won't dislike it that much.

Also, I somehow can't connect to the characters. Once again, if written in a different way it might have stand out more.

Once again, I would appreciate, how the author didn't made MC some delicate flower despite being weak. <<less
