Encountering a car crash, the King of Silver Screen, Ye Sinian, was bound to a Cannon Fodder Counterattack System.

After reincarnating for hundreds of lives, he has finally earned enough “travel expenses” to go back home.

However, he didn’t think that the system would suddenly malfunction, making returning back home from then on hopeless.

With the shackles of a millennium broken, Ye Sinian aggressively counterattacked!

Reversing fates while hugging the mentally ill* Lord Seme, he walked towards the apex of humanity!

*Mentally ill – Schizophrenic

4.5/5

** When I did this review, I have finished the raw version including the extras. But as the translation continues, I will still be reading for clarification and I would continue to support translation version. After all MTL is not the best but enough to learn the main story. I am thankful for the translator who started to translate this novel because if they didn't I wouldn't know of its existence. **

Okay here is my start of review:

I really like this light novel. First time reading it from the translation,... more>> I liked it. Actually I got hook from the summary and sink when I started reading the translated version. I know a lot of people compare or do similarities from Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil (QWTFOTD). I see it. But of course there are differences between the two.

Ever since I start reading QWTFOTD, I fell in love in this genre. Seeing how the MC and ML live through different worlds and finding each other in each stories. At the same time you see clues of the actual main story. Like who is the ML or what MC doing here being transported to many worlds (unless is been specify liked QWTFOTD as to what the MC who really is and why he is being going through the worlds).

I also agree to @18Yuki at some he/she claims. I noticed that most the worlds they went were a lot of interaction a.k.a romance between MC and ML. As for the actually stories of different worlds, background and creativity I cant not say for sure. I read it all the way thanks to MTL. MTL is not really that great... but is enough for me to understand what is actually going on. Whether is acurate or not, is somewhere in between.

I am mostly and highest here for their cute romance lovey-dovey scene and hot steamy honey pot scene... *cough cough* *ahem* story between MC and ML.

Anyways...

The differences between QWTFOTD and this novel are:
* QWTFOTD is virtual world, while this novel is based on real alternative worlds.
* MC of this novel can get pregnant and have kids (from what I can understand to one of the world in story).
* The reveal who is the system is quite nice.
* ML origins and who he really is quite cute and hilarious (to me).
Spoilers a head are you sure you want to spoil it?
Spoiler

Are you really sure????

Spoiler

100% sure???

Spoiler

Fine! Here it is!

Spoiler

** Spoilers **
ML is real name is [Adam] (Probably different if its translate but that was MTL gave me). ML is also the system that give MC the task before it 'malfunction' to manual mode. But his actually origin that he is a TREE. That's right a TREE. Want more spoilers??? On your own risk!

Spoiler

ML is been alive for years as for how long, it didn't really specify. But probably thousands of years after all he is a tree. He himself doesn't remember when he start to have consciousness. It did say that ML see the changes to where he was planted. He was planted or moved (I don't know which is it) in some small town in the country side. As for MC he was living as a child there because he was sick and his parents were busy from work. His grandfather was the one taking care of him. That's where they first meet.
I'm not going thought the details but it is quite sad and yet heart warming, So looked at it your own risk from the raws.

* MC tries to be the same character as the body he takes over. (Tries).

Also that's what I understand from MTL. If something wrong and right, I will correct it when the English version is finish. <<less

Review as of Chapter 65 (Arc 6) : Similar to Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil but less is said about the actual system, it focuses more on the romance although each world's events feel shorter despite taking about 15 chapter for each arc. The world's aren't as creative either, usually either modern or ancient setting but it has more interactions with the characters the QWFD as the MC usually has a form of family.

... more>>
Spoiler

Worlds: Modern (apocalypse), Modern, Ancient (3rd gender; Ger (male who can bear children)), Modern (school life), Ancient (cultivation, martial arts), Modern (different planet, Entertainment/Film/Movie), Beast (can change from human to beast form), Ancient (Imperial family conspiracies), Modern (paranormal, ghosts), Modern (dystopian? I read somewhere it's described as Hunger Games/Btoom style, explains system more and ML's identity)

MC & ML's roles (MC's role & ML's) : Son of man protag seduces & General, Adopted Foster Son of ML & Company CEO, beautiful Ger & disfigured War Hero, Abused-son-turned-Underworld-boss & hired-spy/teacher-turned-lover, Master & Disciple, Movie Production company President and Actor, Protag's cute little brother (liger with wings) & Mermaid, brother of a white lotus & Emperor's brother disguised as a priest, college student who can see ghost & ghost general, ???? (Don't know about the last chapter)

[collapse]

Personally, I prefer Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil more, but this story has more interactions and cooperations between the MC and ML. Some arcs are more interesting, others are a bit dry. I enjoyed the 1st, 3rd & 4th arcs the most because of the interactions between the MC and ML and the events in it but a lot of the details is lost in the MTL version. The one thing that vexes me is that the MC is supposed to be the King of Silver Screen yet his talent in acting is rarely mentioned, sure he has to adjust to his new roles and identities but so did Zhou Yunsheng who is a hacker, comparing the two novels QWFD's MC (Zhou Yunsheng) utilises his talent most and best. In the end the title is unimportant to the story, only perhaps a potential ineferable reason for the MC's adaptability.

Admittedly they are 2 novels with similar premise but different focuses, but if you liked Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil, or BL/Yaoi/Danmei novels with capable protagonists, then you will enjoy this novel. <<less

I'm writing this review after reading the first chapter so take this review with a huge grain of salt.

... more>>
Spoiler

This is like the reject version of Quickly Wear The Face of the Devil.

Maybe I've been spoiled by the good writing, characterization, and translating quality of QWFD.

More like, given how the premise begins, it's incredibly unlikely I'll care about the character. I have no idea about his motives or what rules he has to abide by in order to escape the system before the story dumps you into a world that the MC has already lived before. The lack of clarity drives me to not want to read this story after the first chapter.

I'm also the type of reader who gets annoyed at being bombarded with translator comments in between what I read. Maybe you like it? Maybe you don't. But consider yourself warned that they'll be there.

I hope I'm wrong about my assumption but I'll wait until a couple more chapters are translated to really assess.

Went ahead and read the whole thing in the original chinese. It's the closest story I've found so far to the pacing and feel of QWTFOTD. Though, of course, it's not exactly the same. The main difference is that QWTFOTD is focused more on action and has more suspenseful plots, including the overreaching meta-plot. This story is more focused on relationship development, which (slight spoiler) is also related to its different meta-plot. It's less about the suspense and action and more about the romance, which is nice on its own... more>> for someone just as interested in the BL parts. <<less

First, I think this story is really promising. I love stories with this kind of genre. I think its unique and different from QWTFOTD. (For the rec. I love QWTFOTD, and love is an understatement) But guys, (directed to those with negative comparisons. Peace, please~ <3) don't compare those two stories. They just have the same 'theme' going on but they tell their own unique and different stories. Both have its own story to tell and both authors have different ways of telling it. I'm looking forward to... more>> reading more. Thank you so much to the translator for this. :) <<less

Well, it might be a tad early to rate and review now..

But I just love these kind of novels, so I would like to say this novel is pretty good! :)

It's kind of similar to QWTFOTD, but it is still interesting nonetheless.

... more>> I'm looking forward to more~! Do give it a try x)

(The MC is also badass and purely gay just like the one in QWD... hahahha xD)

Well, the translator notes in between might not be to some people's liking, but I'm fine with it. I don't have to go down and up constantly to decipher some Chinese slangs and idioms haha, that is kind of troublesome for me. <<less

Surprisingly amazing. For the past week I've been quite into (again) FOD-like stories, so BL fast wear has been my jam. Here I gotta comment first about Cannon Fodder Cheat System, which isn't up on NU, but is probably in my opinion even better than FOD. Aka they're almost the same premise, but with a less complicated but much more vague backstory, and slightly more smut? Though I'm not totally sure about that. I did find the arcs slightly more interesting, plus it was longer lol so I'm pretty sure... more>> there were more arcs in the first place. Thus, that is definitely one of the ultimate favorites.

CFCS has been on my reading list for forever, and I definitely didn't expect it to be this good, or else it wouldn't have been lounging there for so long. There were definitely a few new worlds/arcs in here, which I was pretty interested by. Especially the animals one and the ghosts one. I'm not quite a fan of either of those genres, but CFCS pleasantly surprised me with those. Actually, while reading the summaries, I wasn't too invested in several of the arcs, but when actually reading it the story definitely made me really invested. No regrets. Similarly, I was iffy about the tree demon ML backstory, but when I actually read it, I started crying all over the place. You get invested, man. I'm pretty damn happy about the final chapters showing how they're living when they get together in their ultimate forms, esp with the epilogue-esque chapters. Though I would have liked, as in most of these fast wear stories I guess, each arc to have a bit more about their ending. Though CFCS was already pretty good about giving a little more details about how they leave each arc.

Much love for this story. Recommend with enthusiasm and trees. <<less

A great novel! Similiar to FOD even though if I were to compare them I would pick FOD as one of my favourite novel. I'm so desperate for the translation tho. The story is interesting and worth it!! I also love the MC and ML character, the smart and witty one, really well done! I wish someone pick up this novel : (

pretty good, though some of the stories feel kind of incomplete and left me feeling a vague sense of dissatisfaction. There were a couple of stories that also felt pointless, like the entertainment centered one. I kept waiting for the challenge/ drama/ conflict and they went off traveling instead. There's a set up for a nice showdown but then he's off being lovey-dovey with the ML and someone else takes down the protagonist and the two never even see/ speak to each other from the moment he arrives until the... more>> day he "dies". Everything seems to go a little too easy for the MC and he always finds the ML right away, though I'm not 100% clear on how. He just automatically feels a sense of familiarity no matter how different the ML might look. So far I would rate this about a 3-3.5 but I'm not done reading the MTL yet. I'll get there eventually. Probably. <<less

it's only been 1 chap so I don't think it's fair to rate it just yet..

so here's what I think about the first chap:

is it just me or there's really thick vibe here??

... more>> even the first chapter plot is somewhat familiar.. hmmm?... oh but the MC isn't that OP I think.. maybe the differences would be at that point?.. anyway I really want to read more of it for now..

and yup it's still chap 1 so there's a lot things to expect so let see..

I personally like this kind story, probably because I'm biased by QWFD, but maybe this story also have something to look forward in the future?.. I just hope they release new chapter fast and furiously. like once a day?.. hahahahha

oh and I also agree with the comment by ppomv just up there ^, I also think that the way the T/N presented in the novel is quite annoying, I just.. there's a lot of other way to add in some comment and note in the novel that maybe a bit less annoying.. I personally don't mind the way Exiled Rebels Scanlations put their translator comment and notes.. but it's just me thou so please don't mind it that much.. <<less

I'm hooked. Just like QWTFOTD this story is good. Kudos for the author and translator :'D

Even the ML is not really a real person like FOD.. Yup

We can see our MC chasing his lover in every world and otherwise. (They have some connection)

... more>>
Spoiler

even a tree can become a Male God!!! And our ML is not really male protagonist in each world/dimension. There is a lot of cute scene, tease and s*xy scenes *I'm drooling xxxtimes

[collapse]

After reading this novel, I really want to plant a big and beautiful tree in my garden haha <<less
