After Being Mind-Read, the Cannon Fodders’ Minds Exploded

Description

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

A non-traditional cultivation novel featuring a bold female protagonist. Proceed with caution if this isn’t your cup of tea!

[Mind Reading + System + Transmigration into a Book + Cultivation + Group Pampering]

Xiao Xiao unexpectedly dies and transmigrates into a cannon fodder substitute in a Mary Sue-style cultivation novel where the Female Protagonist’s admirers eventually gouge out her Golden Core to save the Female Protagonist.

Luckily, she has a system. Unluckily, it’s not a Comeback System but a useless Retrieval System.

What else could she do? She can only keep her head down, avoid forming her Golden Core, and dodge the tragic fate of being gutted.

[“Master is so amazing, yet he was tragically taken over by someone just to save his disciple. And that disciple, upon learning the truth, not only refused to seek revenge but even tangled up with the perpetrator. How ungrateful!”]

Master: ?!

[“First Senior Brother is a peerless talent and should have become a great Sword Immortal. But to save the one he loves, his Life-Bound Sword broke, and his dantian was destroyed. He ended up as a useless cripple.”]

First Senior Brother: ?!!

[“Second Senior Brother had it even worse. He wasn’t skilled in combat and only loved refining pills. Because of his low combat ability, he became a pawn in the Male and Female Protagonists’ schemes. He was captured to threaten Third Junior Sister, who refused to bow her head and was brutally dismembered.”]

Second Senior Brother: ?!!!

[“Sigh, and you thought she was your bestie? Turns out she’s been hooking up with your fiancé behind your back. They’re even planning to team up to get rid of you!”]

Cannon Fodder 1: F***!

[“And the other cannon fodders, who should have had brighter futures, ended up…”]

Various Cannon Fodders: !!!

Xiao Xiao initially just wanted to use the system to quietly watch the drama unfold. Who would’ve thought the cannon fodders, originally supposed to fawn over the Female Protagonist, would start flocking around her?

Outstanding! A huge chunk of what makes this so enjoyable is the bold, sassy, smart MC. I love reading her thought processes and dialog, including a wealth of quick comebacks, verbal jujitsu, and skilled tr*sh talking.

Plot is good, moves logically and with good speed. Starts with a smaller plot, then moves into a larger plot with the smaller plot woven into it.

There is no hurt without comparison.

This novel is a hodgepodge of clichés like transmigration, indestructible plot armor, cannon-fodder counterattack, white lotus OG!heroine, love-brained side characters, s*upid dramas, mass mind-reading, group favorite and all-knowing system. All is fine if you like such novels, but the sad part is that the core of the plot is blatantly copied from "Ascending do not disturb, " including all key events and relationship between MC and ML while lacking sophistication and depth of the original.

ADND is a beautiful, lighthearted and fluffy story about cultivation (including... more>> moral character) and character growth. This novel will trample it all underfoot and turn ADND into standard superficial drama. Everything you like about ADND will be distorted and uglified. Yet it is impossible not to compare them, because most time Kong Hou and Xiao Xiao meet exactly the same situations and make the same decisions. Their motivations, backgrounds and circumstances are vastly different, yet they are forcefully tied together. Every time you try to separate them in your mind, you will meet yet another exactly the same plot twist. MLs and their process of enlightment are tied together in the same way, but Yuan Xuan is a lot more shallow. Sadly, while Kong Hou (a mortal child who grew up in isolation without contact with the world) is somewhat naive, cute and lovable, Xiao Xiao (adult from 21th century with knowledge of the plot and omniscient system) looks plain s*upid and braindead. While they have to make the same choices (since it is a copy), Xiao Xiao is quite ugly in comparison. ML and his demon servant, master and his "arch-rival" from the neighboring peak, senior brothers, and random passerby are copied and undergraded. Even dragon shopkeeper is freakin same. Why? He was such a fun character. Why ruin him like this? Did he dig your parents' grave or smth?

This novel and ADND are not even in the same genre, but this blatant unreasonable plagiarism ruined the impression completely. Every single journey arc from ADND was copied, rewritten in supbar manner and stitched together with some other cliche plots into some kind of weird abomination of a novel. I just don't get it why he had to copy all main events and characters and forcefully stuff them in his novel when they are not suitable and too obvious. It is not like the plot of ADND is super original. Why copy so blatantly? Even small details like expensive feed for flying horses and artifact house to highlight ML's financial situation had to be copied.

If we compare it with novels about entertainment industry, Xiao Xiao is like a 18th tier actress that tries to ride on Kong Hou's popularity. Someone may call it a parody, but it is not fun (and it is not mentioned anywhere). There is nothing in common between Xiao Xiao and Kong Hou and because of the comparison this whole novel feels like a vicious cannon fodder trying to override the heroine. The worst part is that Xiao Xiao's character and plot are inconsistent in small details because author has to copy and then distort everything while adding a lot of extra content.

It would have been a lot better if author only took the main ideas (they are all cliche anyway), but not every single event and main characters. Mind-reading drama is likely copied from other novels as well, but it is too standard to recognize the title, so whatever.

All in all, if you haven't read ADND, this novel is readable. There is nothing novel, characters are flat and soulless, humor is not so fun, MC is overstuffed with goldfingers, but for a one-time braindead read everything is acceptable. But if you read and love ADND, this novel is painful and frustrating as hell <<less

Reminds me a little bit of Ascending, Do Not Disturb.

Both stories are centered around a female protagonist in a cultivation world. Both girls start traveling the world for experience and meet a powerful, but injured man who needs rare ingredients and items for healing. Our main girl is lucky (without her acknowledgement) and help gather what’s needed while dealing with different difficulties in the cultivation world.

In this book our female protagonist is a transmigrator into a tragic female character and there are a lot more fights and drama. While in... more>> Ascending, Do Not Disturb it’s much more lighthearted and fluffy.

But this novel is more filled in story wise if you wanted something similar but not quite so extremely fluffy. <<less

FL transmigrated to a xianxia world where she’s a cannon fodder. She has a System who doesn’t know how to help the FL, yet has the power to retrieve information about anyone.

FL is trying to go against the original plot where she dies at the hand of her senior sister who’s a fake white lotus. Somehow, just as the original plot is starting, the rest of the cannon fodders are able to read FL’s mind! FL will be thinking of their gruesome end and those cannon fodders will be able... more>> to change their fate.

I’ve only read up to here as I’d like to wait for the translations to be piled up. <<less
