Mason was a mercenary, until the day he died on a mission after being betrayed by his unit.

At the same time, there was a Hollywood actor named Haley Lusk. While famous as a child actor, as an adult, he grew addicted to drugs and s*x. With a nasty personality and sub-par acting ability, Haley was disliked, yet he still confessed to Noah Raycarlton in front of the world causing him to be hated by most people. Then one day, he suddenly had a heart attack and died.

Noah Raycarlton is the young CEO of a big company. Though not a celebrity, his mother was an immensely popular actress. Due to his good looks and kindness, he is loved by everyone.

Mason thought he was dead for sure, but he woke up in the hospital full of people he didn’t know. They told him that they were his family and called him Haley. He was so confused, and people told him that he had a heart attack due to overdose and died for a while.

He realizes that his soul went inside of this Hollywood actor Haley Lusk, and he decides to live a second life. But because of things that Haley did, he has a difficult time with Noah and other people. Mason finds out right away that in his old life, he knew Noah as a child.

I'm not sure I like their relationship or not, and some characters just like zero logic especially that director guy. This is not something that I will reread because I'm holding some anger towards some of the characters.

It’s actually not bad, the plot’s all serious and tense which is f*cking awesome. Both the MC and ML have their own flaws, y’know even though the ML’s all worried to MC and act like he’s his god but still a sad*st in bed. MC’s also selfish which makes it more interesting as it’s more realistic.

The flaws of the main characters are what makes the novel even greater. I can say the novel’s serious at the first glance but I didn’t quite expect it to be realistic.

Also love how the... more>> MC’s a badass in his past life, can’t quite call it badass as it’s also pretty hard for them but cool.

4.5 out of 5, will personally recommend this to someone who likes heavy novels! <<less

I like both MC and ML and it's interesting the first few times I'd read it. But it's not the kind of novel I love enough to reread. Although the novel is not that long I think there could be more to it and I think it just ended too swiftly. Although the ending is satisfactory it could be better if the author had added a few more chapters and I'm rather curious about the life afterwards.

There's also a manga version of this story and I'm currently reading it on... more>> an English translation platform. The story is good but I don't think it's for everyone. <<less

Good for a short ride!!

Typical fairytale of a rich ML and sort of poor MC with some BG for emotional feed. MC is really cool and strong (mentally) and his character was well written (unlike suggested otherwise in many reviews). ML is pitifully damaged and obsessively in love with MC (typical for many BL novels), but no complaints. Side characters were also written well. Smut was sort of good.

Overall a short and sweet read. Recommended.

Overall, an entertaining read. I like the pacing of the story and, despite being a relatively short novel, its ending doesn't feel rushed.

Although, I would have preferred if Noah didn't figure out right away that Haley was actually Mason. It didn't seem very realistic that he just easily accepted that Mason's spirit/soul was transferred to Haley's body considering it was established that he hated Haley a lot. I would have preferred if Noah was shown to be a bit more reticent to accept the idea and came up with other theories first before jumping to the conclusion that it was a case of body transfer.

This novel has an interesting premise and does it justice despite having several cliche elements and a couple of questionable aspects. <<less

3.5 rating

its good, Mason is the type of MC that doesn't let his transmigrated body hinder him, so thats a plus, Noah is an okay ML. Well he did had a hard time so being weirdly possessive can be forgiven. Their romance is a little non-con, but it doesn't get awful.

plotwise its simple it surrounds the protagonist and his lover with a little bit of bad guys messing their life and a little sprinkle of smut

... more>> the translation is clean, so thank you so much translator! Hope to see more !

but it was weird to "see" hollywood or american showbiz portrayed like this. Kinda takes me out of it sometimes. Haha

ANYWAYS READ THIS, THIS IS MY FIRST KR BL NOVEL AND IT WAS NICE. <<less

Dramatic, cheesy, a little cute, sexy, and engaging.

I personally found the extras to be more interesting than the mail story. I wouldn't read it again, but it's worth a try.

I really like this novel. It's one of the few novels that I've read without wanting to give up midway but then forcing myself to read it until the end. The MC and ML have great chemistry!

Not easy to start, but rolls along quickly once you get past the beginning exposition. Don’t look here for heroes; you’re going to find mixed motivations and anti-heroes, but enjoy the ride anyway. By the way, very interesting way of making it so that the straight MC comes to accept physical relations with the devoted ML.

Finished this a long time ago and I can't believe I didn't leave a review.

A good read with the right amount of drama and action.

I love the plot but it is really frighteningly similar to What Lies at the End Manhwa (which is also a favorite) so I had this nagging feeling who copied who (but softmatcha's review helped me realize it so there you go).

I just hope that someone will find and translate the last extra (or just kindly share the raws so I can MTL). I found at... more>> the comments section of sidetrack 6 part 3 that there's still an extra one chapter where everything was properly concluded.

Spoiler

The stalker was identified and the movie was a success (I think?)

The first BL novel I've ever read and also the reason I got hooked with reading yaoi novels. If only there's 100 star, I'll give it right away. :D

I like the character of MC, he's so pragmatic and calm. I also like ML's character. I feel that he is so human; flawed, deranged and possessive.

This novel is one of the best. &Lt;3 <3

This was such an amazing read! I could not stop after reading the first chapter. I was seriously hooked by the story telling and how badass the MC is. He's the best!!! No weak, helpless uke in this novel! Mason is so cool!! If this is your type of uke, don't hesitate to read this novel.

I'm a big fan of transmigration novels like this so this was something I enjoyed reading. And unlike most novels of the same genre, the MC's former background actually has a central role to the storyline.

I find the MC pretty interesting, although he acted like a pansy a few times after he became Haley but I guess that can't be helped. The way he handled things was very cool and badass. He always seemed like he was in control of the situation. But the ML was a bit too domineering... more>> for me. His interactions with Mason were off-putting at times. Seriously, that guy is a little too insane. (Probably not just a little)

But I still ship them anyway.

The plot was engaging. The MC was awesome. The romance was ok. The ending was quite sweet.

What's with all the crying tho... <<less

Definitely worth a read, if you have doubts just read the first chapter to get a pretty good idea of a lot of the things I mention in the review.

The protagonist is very interesting and down to earth. And has a refreshing attitude towards everything around him, though this is mostly due to his indifference and the fact that he's seen the worst of what humanity can offer.

The previous owner of the body the protagonist transmigrates to is very different from his original body and it's a little pretty fun... more>> having the usually indifferent protagonist being challenged by the former hobbies of his previous self.

The villains in the story aren't all that villainous either (aside from the transmigrators family) and are very interesting to read about.

The interactions between the the protagonist and the other male lead are pretty interesting too, and become even more so as the past they share becomes unravelled.

There are some NSFW scenes that are at the very least, dubious consent, if not r*pe. So be warned. Actually there is a lot of crude language as well as gore so bear that in mind.

Speaking of language, the translation quality is unfortunately fluctuation, and was at it's worst at the beginning, but as long as you can bear it, it'll get better and was in my opinion worth the pain. <<less

This novel has a pretty slow start, but after several chapters, all I can say is that it’s pretty good. The earlier chapters are not well written (There’s a LOT of grammar errors) so some people (like me) will probably have a headache while mentally correcting those errors in your minds. Thankfully, by around Chapter 8 to Chapter 9, the translator finally gets an Editor. While there is still some errors, it’s passable enough that you can read it smoothly. But yeah, I really hope the Editor will edit and... more>> clean out the errors in the early chapters.

The story is, as I’ve said, slow but interesting. The MC is basically a Straight Male who suddenly found himself in the body of a Flamboyant Gay Male. It’s funny how this works out since his straight male persona is being ‘tested’ in different situations. Like, while he still gets aroused when looking at women, he ALSO gets aroused when dreaming about men (a.k.a. Noah). Even if the MC vehemently denies it. He’s turning into a Bis*xual Male.

Overall, this is a good read. <<less
