Guide to Raising a Supporting Male Lead

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When she inexplicably came into this world, the novel’s supporting male lead had yet to become the future boss of the underworld who could overturn the heavens. For now, the supporting male lead is only a frail boy, a defenseless little chick in a world where the plot of the novel remains unfinished. Meanwhile, Lin Xin became the standard passerby who only wished to stay away from the budding plot.

What sort of supernatural event is this? Transmigration Deity, come out!

I promise I won’t beat you to death…

It's not bad, I guess. The Dean sexually abuse kids, ML is his favorite. DEAN is a pedo, he is raping ML and all ML do is cry weakly but when Dean tried to r*pe MC, MC cut his p*nis and MC in a exaggerated way act like the victim. Will she really is.


I think her attitude is right for a super weak ML. He is too soft for a male. Atleast too soft for my liking. He needs to man up. He is a man.

And society don't criticise men having s*x. Society only criticize females calling them sluts and b*tches.


The author end it to fast. I like it more if the author didn't play too much in ML's emotion and the forced ending is really disappointing.

A compelling read. Despite delving into sensitive themes like s*xual abuse, the narrative remains engaging. ML heavily relies on the mentally and emotionally strong FL, whom I really admire. Their love is portrayed as unconditional, and I appreciate the depth of their connection. The ML's profound understanding of the FL adds an intriguing layer, showcasing his deep obsession and sincere care for her.
Spoiler

The story concludes on a positive note, and I believe the characters truly deserve the happy ending they achieve.

At first I liked it. The story was ice, very unique ML and spiky MC. The beginning was okay for me. However ... more>>
Spoiler

In the part where she dies it just progressively got worse, ML was turning creepy. Like what the hell? Who would put cameras in a girl you've only known for about a week? Stalking her everwhere? Then she just overlooked all of that? Anyway I continued on because I liked the Mls previous personality. So they fought, made up, kissed then she got kidnapped. Sure at that part it was fine was she got kidnapped again? She hasn't even gotten rescued to a safe place yet! Ugh.

[collapse]

I got to give it to the author. They really explained the plot well. Just didn't do a good job at the character design. Don't give it a try. <<less

I tried. I really tried! But I couldn't stomach how the female lead was handling things. I agree with the previous comments that for a supposedly 28-year-old mature adult, the FL is so immature and (insert curse words). Sigh. I don't have a problem with stories that start from immature and powerless main characters, but I don't know how the ML can recover from the trauma that the FL's actions caused. The FL was cursing the author about how badly they treated the ML in the original plot, but girl,... more>> she treated him even worse, which my opinion is much more detrimental for the ML cause she was literaly part of his life vs the author whom he didn't know. I mean I'm still in chapter 23, and I don't know how the autbor can turn things around. However, I don't think I'll be emotionally and mentally alright if I continue to read the FL as role model on how to handle abuse children. I just can't. <<less

Considering how other reviews had already pointed out the plot flaws, I won't elaborate further. I usually could go through these type of plots but what I couldn't ignore is the fact that the plot felt so out of place in a way that it felt like the author just stacked random ideas they had together thus coming forward as abrupt or sudden that would make you wonder where that came from.

Spoiler

I'm taking about how the MC suddenly died again and got reborn again in a new life tf did that come from? Wish they had shown how ML was with the decade instead of a sudden big timeskip of ten whole years

This work was one of the first I read last year when I started reading CN or KR novels, at that time I could only read it until chapter 75, until that chapter this work made me cry with the sad life of Lin Xinyu, read for what happened as a child was very sad and painful. With only 75 chapters I was captivated, I was anxiously waiting for this novel to be finished, and I decided to wait and after a year I managed to finish it. I will... more>> not deny that I expected more, the plot that the author was managing gave for more, as the fact that explained the reason for the transmigration of Lin Xin, that part I left it to the interpretation, I expected something more destined because the poor FL happened by far in the end. The ending of this novel was so abrupt, so I expected more from the extras, I won't deny that the Josei scenes were something we expected after reading Lin Xinyu's thoughts, but I expected more from his daily life. Like if they had children, if poor FL could have them, what happened to the other characters. Good to hang out it was good for how short it is. My score was 3.5 <<less

Okay, first and foremost, yes, you would feel frustrated with the FL's way of thinking and actions towards ML. But as you persevere and read through it, you will find a very action packed, bizarre character development and one devoted love.

The ML really is such a cutie. Albeit, he went dark for a while and made some wrong decisions but nobody is perfect.

I avoided this because it has a lot of negative reviews but I've reached a block in terms of completed novels who have yandere MLs. So I just... more>> went for it and read this despite the numerous negatives. And I was surprisingly amused and had a wonderful read.

Yes it is not perfect but I really love how everything was so connected. It just goes to show how much the author thought of the plot (albeit messed up and slightly dark but not? Idk what I'm saying).

Translations are superb! Thank you for picking this up! And the yandereness of the ML, perfect score. My favoriteeeee. And what was more, there was another yandere! HAHAHAHAHA I felt sorry for him cause he really did love FL but he was too late and made wrong moves so yeah... HAHAHAHA

Anyway! It's a good read! Also check the tags first before you read it because it really does have some disturbing stuff (like with the dean and all). So be cautioned. <<less

This is a really shitty story - both main characters disgust me to no end - the male lead is nothing but a worm with a Gollum type personality "my precious....". He disgusts me and I find him unattractive to the max.

The female lead is all over the place - she makes all the possible mistakes (telling an authority figure he's a p*dophile and still come out alive) and still "wins" and comes out more arrogant and an "I was right all along" attitude.

Turns out that second-male-lead fever doesn't turn... more>> into a good plot - who would have guessed? <<less

First of all, I want to thank the translator.

At first, I was alright with it. That was until MC came back to her life; that's when sh*t got real and weird.

The plotline got messy and MC became really mean to ML. But I also couldn't sympathies with ML, he was too controlling and obsessed with MC. Then there were these characters who appeared and made their love hard and the fact that they also came in suddenly. It felt too fast. Also, every characters actions and decisions were all abnormal.... more>> For example, MC's family.

But damn, the story went all over the place that I skipped chapters.

It was good, but then it went horribly bad despite the happy ending. <<less

This novel plotline is not bad. But the dialogue is not very good. The 1st half is quite desolate and very dark theme. You will feel sympathy and gratifying at some point but it’s abit of clichè. The later part is also the same dog blood drama. So this overall story... I would say if you have nothing to read and don’t mind all the “ physiological “ that don’t make normal sense, then it’s still an ok read. Tq

i love the MC! She's mature and does her best to make living in her new world better :> the story was really great in the first half. It's a little heavier than the run-of-the-mill modern transmigration novels but MC and Xinyu are adorable uwu

it's an interesting story but there are some weirdly rushed areas.
Spoiler

MC's sudden cannon fodder level death lol rip lin xin

[collapse]

the ending was really abrupt too lol (sigh) ? Wish the author wrote more extras hahah if it helps, this is a HE!

the plot is a bit heavy compared to other contemporary romance novels. Personally, I like yandere-ish type of ML and I really liked this one. I just feel like the ending is a bit lacking and it could've been better. But all in all, it was a good read.

4.25 stars, mostly due to how much angst this story put me through. I think the story has potentials. Didn't regret binge-reading this, although I has to MTL the last 5-6 chapters. Thank you for the hard work sharing and translating this story.

Uhhhhh how to rate this?

5/5 for potential

2/5 for plot

1/5 for ending

+ Extra star for translator efforts

Someone please tell me if the end was

Spoiler

Regular NTR, Yandere NTR, or halfway executed NTR

I find that the beginning of this was some of the best parts of this novel on retrospection. If you can't get past the beginning, don't keep going.

I love this novel, it's one of my favorites!

This is the type of story that will make you cry in some chapters, and laugh in others. Yes, the FL can be a little impulsive but that's understandable if you think about everything that she has gone through.

Give it a try, I highly recommend it. :)

3.5 out 5.

Lots of people hating on this novel, and I can kinda see why. It deals with pretty heavy themes, and the FL is a very... vengeful person, with high IQ but low EQ. While I dislike the way she handled things,

... more>>
Spoiler

by things, I mean punishing the pe*ophile orphanage dean by manipulating the original novel's ML's super nice mom, as well as some risky actions to get some satisfaction out of revenge

[collapse]

Spoiler

and also the fact that she treats the OG novel's supporting FL meanly, even though she's not really doing anything wrong in the early chapters

[collapse]

the FL isn't afraid to beat up people that do bad things. She's also kinda dense.

The ML is sweet, early on and later. Early on, he becomes dependent on the FL for emotional support and evolves into a semi-yandere.

Spoiler

There's this part in the middle where he blackens, but the FL makes sure he recovers (dying and reincarnating in the process)

[collapse]

Anyway, I liked the more peaceful, early-mid story bits the most, the rest was kinda meh. If you can deal with a potentially overly mean FL, kinda obsessive/immoral ML, and inconsistent pacing, I would recommend this to read.

TLDR: Yandere ML, willful/vengeful and independent MC with moral bottom line. Big plot twists, weird pacing, mature genre, might tick people off. <<less

I was meant to give this a three, but I really like how this is well translated novel. I have very complicated feelings for this, on the first part I was invested in this story. I really really rooted for them to be together. But after his abrupt changes, I suddenly dropped this. Like WTF, how can you, who have already been through something sinister, can do something evil to other person????

Even if I am feeling generous I won't be able to rate it more than 3.5.

The story started well. The idea was great but the author failed to execute it well. Though I was mad at the MC since the beginning for her impulsive brainless actions while handling complicated and challenging situations, I still forgave tbe story as the author was trying to portray her as a righteous smart woman with high IQ but low EQ.

The ML was great. He was trying to always adapt and improve as per situations... more>> since the beginning. He's always been very observant and was always the first to notice any changes in MC.

After MCs second rebirth the stpry completely fell through. It felt like a perfectly cooked dish but with excess salt which meansvno matter how well prepared the dish is, you just can't bring yourself to enjoy it. <<less

Unexpectedly many of the readers rated it lower than I thought.
First of all, yeah author really changed the plot in unexpected way around 90~ chapters. And I also at first was disappointed, but! Further you read better it gets. I really love the way FL is at this point. She is mature, she doesn’t want to get involved in any strange and problematic twists of the plot, thus let her be. She wants to move from the past, look at the future, what so bad about it. Rather I... more>> think it was such a good move, to make her overstep this past. Let those characters be by themselves. I really couldn’t care less about them at this point. It was all about what was best for her, not this “adoration” for ML, when you are like okay, now get this cute pie and FL get together, because ahh I love him, he should be with her, he is so miserable.
Secondly, wow it was one the rarest chinese novels when you imagine the world and characters not so plain, but rather deep and sophisticated. Good good.

AND MOST IMPORTANT, the FL propose good deeds, she doesn’t encourage this masochistic deeds. She take responsibility and enforce others to take it as well, in a sense that she doesn’t tolerate those things in a way, oh let me forget that he did this, in three minutes after he did. Wtf. Dumbest thing ever in every fcking chinese novel that I read. (Millions and millions of such novel. We all know them right)

overall good, much more mature and deeper then I expected when started to read. <<less

I've read up until around chapter 100 and I really like it. I can understand where some of the other reviews are coming from, but I still like the story. I'm not reading at the moment because the chapters aren't translated that quickly and I want the chapters to pile up before I start reading again. Thanks to the translator, they did a really good job.
