A good story. The male started as a dumb person but after having his eyes opened harshly by the surroundings, he wised up a lot. He became as manipulative as he can be. Even managing to snag the incredibly cruel and dominant man from his ex girlfriend. I enjoy the web drama (I wish the drama got more sponsorship but yeah.. Money tight wise or not, I love the actors) and I enjoy more the novel. There were a lot of chapters translated in wattpad by AnneNoh. I think until... more>> chapter 69 two or three days ago. <<less

This one of my favorite, you can see the evolution of the man from the innocent man to a mastermind and how he fell in his own trap

Um, this is a bit different from what I expected. The MC has some incredibly silly attitudes, like smashing his head with a brick so that his girlfriend doesn't break up with him (he did this THREE times!), and honestly, I totaly understand why she broke up with him, he's an unmotivated loser with a screw loose. By chapter 17, though, he's finally snapped out of it, so now I'm waiting for further developments. I'm not sure if his future love interest's appeared already, as there is someone he gets... more>> along with splendidly right now, but I don't think he's his love rival so maybe he'll just end up one sidedy crushing on the mc?

Oh, and chapters 13-16 seem like they're out of place: different names, different circumstances, different plot (?) and a completely different tone. Did the translator accidentally translate the wrong thing or are they supposed to show the love interest's side of the story? I don't know

Anyway, if you can tolerate a wtf protagonist who happens to be a major loser at the beginning, go ahead and read this <<less

like a lot of other people I read this after seeing the webseries because cute as it was there was just so much that was missing/ didn't make sense to me. There is a lot of humor in the series, mostly from the MC, and a scary as hell ML who is both prone to violence and a complete S in bed and out of it.

Spoiler

the hot wax on the MC's nipples still make mine hurt in sympathy every time I think about it. There's a lot of rough s*x and the ML's idea of "play" is very much a dominance and submission kind of thing

[collapse]

it's worth the read, if you can handle the stuff I mentioned above. This is not a light bit of Bl fluff that will leave you giddy at the end of every chapter, and like all CJD novels there's some angst involved.

on the plus side you get to watch a fat, color-blind idiot go from loser to Boss throughout the course of the story with a lot of humor along the way and there is even a little character growth for the ML as well. <<less

Warning:

... more>>

Spoiler

There are some very violent s*x scenes. The MC is in a lot of pain and humiliated. As far as I read, he didn't think about revenge.

I wish there was a tag for this. After reading about hundred chapters I have to drop it because of this. That's really frustrating. I will have to re-read FOD to clean up my mind.

Spoiler

I know he will counter attack in the end = he will top the ML, but I'm afraid there will be more cruel s*x scenes before I get to it.

Otherwise, if such a relationship doesn't bother you, the story is funny and the counter attack is enjoyable. <<less

The reason I started reading this novel was because of how different and unique the web series was. However, throughout the show I realized that there was so much potential but there were certain limitation from producers etc, so when I realized that it was an adaptation from a Chinese novel I was fully interested and wanted this novel to fill my expectations. AND IT DID... and then some. this novel is very funny and well thought out with the plot (shout out to my fav author). what I didnt... more>> expect were aspects that weren't implemented in the show. these created deep characters and is really good in showing their thoughts and thought processes. I continued reading this novel on wattpad because they have more chapters translated. one of my fav Chinese novels I've read so far. <<less
