Guide on How to Fail at Online Dating

Description

The cousin that Jing Huan has been closest to since he was a child was labelled as “the other woman” in a certain popular online game: only after devoting herself did she know that the other party was a jerk with a girlfriend.

After several days of being bullied online by people in the game, his cousin went abroad in a fit of anger and sorrow.

Jing Huan couldn’t take this lying down; he decided to take revenge for his cousin using the same method as that guy – buy a character in game and kill that slag guy thousands of times online.

With his strength and skill as the Great God when the game was first launched, wouldn’t he be able to kill that guy and force him to quit the server in minutes?!

He went online, eager to fight, but made a discovery after conducting a round of investigations — this slag guy was the number one DPS server-wide, number one on the expert ranking list, number one on the wealth ranking list, number one on the popularity ranking list, and number one on the fame ranking list.

Conclusion: Can’t screw him over.

Jing Huan felt despondent. He was just about to give up when he personally witnessed his dormmate’s online relationship end right after meeting each other in real life. The other party had sent fake photos and changed their voice, and had even cheated him of his money, triggering his dormmate so much that he was almost admitted to a hospital.

Jing Huan felt enlightened as a sudden realisation dawned on him. After comforting his roommate, he moved the high-priced voice changer back to his rented house overnight.

Good story and translation.

We finally have a outgoing and handsome MC who gets confessed to as much as the ML. Haha.

The MC pretends to be cutesy to trick the ML into liking him and his comments are hilarious. ML is initially dismissive but falls for the MC when he gets to know his identity in real life. There's hardly any angst. It's a light and fluffy read with comedy. The interactions of MC and ML with their friends is great. Both the MC and ML are confident and strong characters... more>> from wealthy families.

I had hoped to see MC play with his old account at some point as he was a god player in his old server. Sadly, that didn't happen. I was also hoping that Hao'er finally gets a happy ending after his 2 disastrous online relationships.

The last 20 or so chapters are pure fluff. So good....

The implied conversion of Immortal MengMeng into a fujoshi was so unexpected. Her heart starts racing when she sees our main CP kissing. Hahahaha

Overall, a feel good story with a nice mix of comedy and romance. <<less

Overall, this is a feel-good kind of read. The humor and exchange between ML and MC were really fun to read.

The secondhand embarrassment cause me to pause and cover my face for quite a while to collect myself. The MC sure knows how to dig himself a grave. Hahaha

I can't believe that it's completed now, ying ying ying ಥ_ಥ

There's no filler chapters and every single moment is hilarious and sweet. I really love how the bros remained bros until the end even if HuanHuan turned bend. Its not an instantaneous love and the phasing is befitting and not boring. Its worth the read!

Fluffy and cutsey novel

Novel with story, emotions, fluff and tiny antgst...

Best part : ML ❤.

... more>> I liked ML more than MC.

ML was good, kind and right in whole novel.

An ideal guy, husband and a friend ~

Just for ML I can read this novel even it had 1000 chapters ~~~

5/5 for ML (It's very very hard to find good Mls in novels most are cliche ass**** shown as "good")

MC was wrong in his ways. His feelings could be considered to be questionable so ML is really pitiful. MC didn't clarified with his sister (his sister knew slag guy wasn't ML) . What MC did could be considered as childish, playing with other feelings but on this whole novel is based.

It's a pity author revolved novel around this only. It would be good if author has given some extras into their later life.

ML accepting MC later on shows his big heart. Not many could accept someone knowing that other person starting with you was all lies.

MC is mature in many ways only when it comes to his sister, he did childish things. I guess everyone has their inverse scale where they lost their rationality.

Well good thing MC repented. Proposed ML which could be considered to be something fresh as most times ML does ~~.

But MC actions are really cute in game.. A proper definition of being shameless.. especially with " women like bad guys". <<less

The story is very entertaining so far and the MC is a very dynamic and fun to read.
ML is a bit typical cold one and aloof. The read is enjoyable. I can't wait to see what's going to happened next.

I found the pace of the story very good. I hope it wont start to drag. I recommend

5/5.

A very good read.

A romantic love story between MC and ML, starting from mistaken identity leading to falling deeply in love.

MC is a charismatic, friendly, handsome and a funny guy.

ML is a strong silent type guy, but actually very gentle and doting towards MC.

The characters are lovable! There were problems and misunderstanding, but they were not cliche and the characters (mainly MC) had character development and knows what he wants and pursue it. ML is very doting and loyal.

Sweet, with some ups and downs bitterness, but no s*upid drama.

I have been searching for catfish story to read for awhile now before I end up here, and I haven spent 3 days with just short sleeps in between to finish it.

The plot was predictable, easy read, not realistic, but hard to stop reading (or I just can't control myself?). Characters were good.

This was really cute and funny but might only make sense if you've played gacha-guild games that require money (I used Genshin Impact to relate). Esoteric in this nature.

Really liked this one tbh but the only thing I didnt really like might be that the Mc's were total douchebags to their friends for no reason lol that I didnt really understand why, maybe bcs of the comedy aspect I suppose.. Otherwise it was a fun read. The ending wasnt anything amazing and there couldve been a lot new elements as to add the story more characteristic features but as a short read it did what it could ! And thats ok in my book I had fun while... more>> reading it haha <<less

Completed main story and 4 Extras

Story: Super slow romance, but it’s okay since it was hilarious! I’m not sure if I was just in a good mood, but I was chuckling and sometimes laughing out loud while reading. I sometimes dislike the second hand embarrassment in stories, but I was fine with how it was presented here. I’m not into gaming, but I didn’t mind the gaming aspect of the story. It was easy enough to understand, and not overly detailed so it wasn’t boring to read.

Characters: I love both... more>> the MC and ML: sweet, funny, and lovable. I also liked the side characters (rl friends, and online ones). No annoying characters for me.

NSFW / SFW: The NSFW were only on the last 2 extras so the rest are SFW.

Conclusion: If you’re into fluffy (but not sickeningly sweet), slow burn romance; I’d recommend this. It isn’t long either so it’s a fast read. <<less

this is definitely one of my favorite modern danmei. The story is sweet and funny (I was definitely laughing at some parts), though not complex. There isn’t really any angst either, but, even so, it did not become boring—as I feel many fluffy stories can.

their relationship is really cute and sometimes I come back to read parts of the story because it’s easy to enjoy.

4.75/5 ⭐️ Gaming is my favorite genre--I've read lots of gaming novels that have been fully translated by actual people and this novel is definitely top-tier. I loved this even more on my reread, and I already loved it during my first read in 2020. It has an interesting premise (catfishing for revenge in a game) built on top of a misunderstanding. The MMORPG experience was immersive and really fun. Plot-wise, everything I expected to happen did happen but they didn't happen when/the way I thought it would happen. It... more>> was very creative, the author was two steps ahead of the reader, and it's really refreshing for that to happen on a light read.

The ending that felt a bit too abrupt (which is why I can't give this a full 5) given the length of the novel and the other issue that was brought up in the last chapter, though I do understand that tackling those issues would already be a different plot/stage in the characters life/relationship and wouldn't have matched with the overall tone of this book.

If you enjoy gaming and are looking for a funny, light hearted read, this is for you! <<less

My first gaming novel that sparked an e-sport novel binge.

Second re-read!

So fun to see the pits the MC digs for himself. The chemistry between the two leads and their interactions are just so pleasurable to read.

It’s a pure youthful on the cusp of maturity romance that makes you reminisce and feel things.

Not an avid gamer but was still able to appreciate and enjoy the OPness of their gaming skills and hysterical events that ensued made possible only because of the setting.

Look forward to reading it again.

This is one of those things that's like dumb but yk in a good way. I feel like absurd plot like this are always difficult to execute as it can easily turn into a childish mess but this is actually SOO good... well paced, funny banter between all characters, the progression of the MC & ML's feeling is done well.

Misunderstanding is biggest plot force here but it doesn't feel frustrating because the story fully reins in with the idiocy. I do admit to finding the first 20 or so chapters... more>> to be sort of tedious but after that it's just golden. Also, I just appreciate XHZ for being the gayest ever cause him falling for Xiao Jing only after realising their his cute male junior is just!!!! <<less

May start a little bit boring at the beginning, but later on it gets more interesting.

It's a comedy, filled with funny characters, altough the ML seems a little bit hmm dull? But his character becomes interesting the more you read it.

The romance is not forced and quite enjoyable. One of fav e-sports novel.

Rereading this for the n-th times now. Its just to show how good this is. The story is very simple and some might say cliche but the way its written / translated turns a very ordinary plot into something that worth to be read.

The comedy is top tier with our main character being as hilarious as he can be. The ML is a very doting partner to MC and their relationship is very healthy
Spoiler

after they realize who each other are and the whole being girl in-game got exposed
