Death Progress Bar

Description

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

Shi Jin once read a book. It was supposed to be about satisfying the desire for vengeance.

The main character, also named Shi Jin, was the sixth son of his harem-novel-protagonist-like father. All was well, while his father was alive at least, but after his death, Shi Jin’s five elder half-brothers tormented him, eventually leading to his death. The protagonist was reborn, determined to take revenge, and… the novel was discontinued.

That day, Shi Jin almost spat blood and dropped the book into a shredder. The next day, he died in a car accident. Somehow, when he came to, he had transmigrated into a teenager, a youth also called Shi Jin.

There was only one problem. His father had just died. His older brothers were about to torment him…

Shi Jin: Let’s eliminate my brothers’ hatred, my goal is to keep my life!

This is one among the best novels I've read. The plot line is so different and the MC and ML are so cool. There's plenty of unanswered questions which leaves me salivating for the next update. I love the 3rd brother as well. So tsundere.

I love it but I'm uncomfortable with system living with them as a kid at the end because system keeps calling ML darling throughout the story and even seems to have some unpure intentions towards him. I want MC and ML to live together in peace

I'm satisfied, this novel was so~ good I could find nothing to pick on. There is Transmigration, a System (love Xiao si), a complicated family relationships, But not a dog-blooded drama as I thought it would be from the Description. Let's not give spoilers. Okay ☺️

My Overall Rating 4, 7★ Highly recommend.

I'm not rating this because I clearly didn't get very far in this, but the reason why I'm putting this on hold is because of the MC (Shi Jin).

In his previous life he was a police officer, yet his character failed to match this identity in my opinion, except for some moments from what I have read so far. The feeling I was getting was that it only matched "when the author wanted it to." For instance, his fighting skills, his sometimes "professional" train of thought, etc. And it didn't... more>> match in places I assume to fulfill some to make him look cute or to achieve some other purpose. Idk, his character felt very hard to grasp because of this, and it was hard to get into the story, although the premise is something I would usually enjoy.
Also, reading another story with the main character as a police officer, I can't help but compare the two because the one in that story fit the image of a "police officer" much more than Shi Jin (mc) ever did to me. I understand he is more than a police officer, he is a person as well, but with the book introducing him as though it was a major part of his character and failing to show the professionalism of one in some parts you would think it would shine was disappointing.

Maybe I'm too sensitive and had my expectations of Shi Jin too high though, after reading the other CN book I mentioned before, watching a lot of true crime documentaries, and having a teacher who was a police officer lol (my teacher was a badass and still had a great sense of humor) <<less

So far, the story only scaled the surface of the real mystery (arch one)

It was presumed that MC was transmigrated into a novel, however as the story went, the system administrator seemed hesitant to uncover MC identity so it was kinda suspicious (imo).

Translator noted that in the second arch, there'd be in depth detail into MC family, work and relationship. Thus I'll wait until the translation completed before continuing.

Ahhhhhhhh this book is so amazing! I'm having a hard time how I should describe its greatness but other reviews already do that so just look at those

The brothers.... they are all scumbag (aside from XAT) but at least they learn to embrace their mistakes and tries to fix it. I literally cried with LJZ's reconciliation cuz why so painful? Every brother has their own personality and character, they are three dimensional characters and not just flat that's why even tho they'll piss you off you'll still learn to love... more>> them.

Ahhh I super love the Guas specially Gua Two! He's so lovable and even the other Guas.

The plot twists in the climax is so frickin mind blowing! I will not put a spoiler because it'll ruin the experience if this point is spoiled cuz damn you'll curse to hell their shitty father

Xiao Si is the best system! It even has its own personality! (Below will me a spoiler in the end)
Spoiler

I frickin cry when Xiao Si said goodbye to Shi Jin when the death bar disappear but bit*h appear again after years as a child that looks like Shi Jin but modify his face to at least looks like Lian Jun then they adopt him and everyone are so doting hahahaha

[collapse]

I'M JUST MAD BECAUSE WHY NO WEDDING?!?!?!?! And the brothers all remain single dogs until the end haha <<less

I loved everything about it.

  1. The mysteries surrounding the body MC transmigrated into + the shocking plot twists.
  2. The ML and MC’s relationship is so genuine and made up of so much trust and fondness. I can literally feel how sincere they are through my phone screen. The ML is kind and loving to the MC, he dotes on him a lot and is genuinely not an a**hole. Both the ML and MC seems like good people who’ve gone through a lot of sh*t and seen the darker sides of the world. (MC’s story made me so genuinely frustrated, the ML’s story was depressing but the MC’s was literally something else. It hit different).
  3. I love the side characters. They’re relationship with the MC and ML is so wholesome.
  4. The MC’s brothers.. I can’t promise that y’all will like them. Out of all the brothers there’s only one that I genuinely find decent and like but the other ones, it hasn’t gotten to the point in the story where I can say that I like them. I know that they’re trying though.
Overall I loved the story (plot twist and mysteries). I loved the side characters. LOVED the ML and MC’s relationship. I can’t say that I love the brothers but the author does do a good job with making you not exactly hate them... more>> either - this won’t effect my ranting tho, I still love this story. To me personally it was a very healthy and great story to read. <<less

It's such a great novel. Well written and well translated.

I just loved it. Emotional roller coaster. Greatly described characters and plot.

I couldn't even put down my phone while reading this. It's fully deserved 5 stars and now I'm actually hesitating whether to read mtl or wait for translation.

100 out of 10.

Love love love this novel. Super heartwarming relationships between the MC and ML. Their interactions are really sweet and it’s a slow burn relationship that seems very realistic. Has lots of daily life / mafia life / family drama with the 5 brothers etc. That keeps the story interesting. Would recommend this novel anytime.

4.5 stars. my finger accidentally touched 3stars now I don't know how to undo it.

Super super fluffy. The MC and the ML are the best. I loved how different this ML is compared to the other books. I got hooked to the story at first but then the later chapters dragged on. I don't get why there has to be a system. If I were the MC, I would've banged my head on how loud this system is, honestly its annoying af. The translation is great tho. Thanks translators!!!

I'm just... more>> a passerby. It's just sad that this book didn't meet my expectations. Considering how many the 5 star reviews are.

But still, read this book. It's not particularly outstanding, but its a nice read if I just ignore the system. <<less

Loved it; MC and ML just love to shovel dog food everywhere 😋 yum yum.

I love that all the brothers change from being uncaring and hateful and eventually all love their youngest brother.

I love them all, it's so hard to choose a favorite as they all have their good points.

You will not regret reading this one. Super interesting.

Yup this novel is one of the best BL novels I have read the ML is not actually r*pey or overbearing he respects our cute MC and supports him in anyway he can. The supporting Characters is also very well developed unlike other novels where you forgot the characters after Several chapters. The action, comedy, drama, and romance is literally very well written I cant get enough im so sad that this novel is ending in like 167 chapters I need moreeee I will kill for more chapters (T^T).

My only... more>> problem is that he doesnt interact and care much about his brothers (they're also one of my favourites especially that lil tsundere boi) well I can understand cause some of them may or may not intentionally tried to kill him.. But come on man im also a sucker for cute brother moments!!

All in all I give this novel 4.9 !! (The 0.1 percent is because the novel is not long enough to read until I grow old and die) <<less

I seriously love this novel. JinJin, Jun shao, and system Xiao Su are such cuties. When JinJin finally realizes his feelings for Jun shao, their relationship is just pure fluff and I can't wait to read more of their interactions

Heh. read it one go and then... hmm? hmm? where is the next chapter?! Anyone who can tell me if there is a way to follow its updates without checking in every ten minutes, I will be thankful.

I like the independent nature of the characters- and the diversity. I like that I could enjoy this story without falling into s*upid angsty drama from the mp misunderstanding (seriously! When one normal discussion could have cleared them up!) - the couple is firmly established! Yay!

The plot is good without overwhelming and... more>> I like the progress of the characters. although somehow... I thought the side characters were more developed than the main?

I love the story. ^^ <<less

I don't know what to say tbh, the story is really intriguing, the plot, the character, everything. I love them.

Absolutely recommended,

100/10

... more>> Oh right, people said that this is sad but for me it's not lol I mean yeah the situation of LJ and SJ is sad but..... like yeah sad not to the point of tears. By the way, the villain is really so damn ruthless. SJ and his mom is totally innocent but they died, f*ck everyone. (I mean the original SJ not the MC that transmigrate)

I have a mixed feelings about the father, I pity him but at the same time, he shouldn't do that? He got depressed and crazy coz of his family situation that burdened him since he's a child, JJ is the only salvation for him. I think he regret everything nd try to change for the better is enough. Forget JJ, move on and try to heal himself is enough. Xu Chuan is really bad, ah.

JJ is really innocent but he got 2 madman fall for him omg haha. It feels like the devils who desires an angle, and coz of that the younger generation of angle got entangled in a s*upid way. It might be fine if Xu Chuan do nothing tbh, since JJ know everything. He should have just let SXH (the father) go and let him be free and move on. I think JJ's dead is enough for the father's atonement, no need to make him crazy anymore.

Love really make people go mad.

Maybe I will edit my review after all the chapter got translated. Read this. It's not depressing, not to hard to digest. It's a fun reading. <<less

I’ll be real, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read this because I didn’t love this author’s QT work, but boy am I glad I gave it a chance.

Our MC is an incredibly sincere and intelligent man who lacks EQ (omg does he lack this). But he’s so cute and funny that you’ll love all the ways he misses out on emotional cues. There is a definite element of OP-ness (outside of the system cheats), but it doesn’t feel overdone. You do wonder at how everyone accepts that this... more>> formally fat and pampered heir becomes a badass fighter, but I found it easy to gloss over because I just liked the story so much. MC’s relationship with everyone in the story- especially the ML and the system- is so f*cking cute. I love how everyone just acknowledges that it’s not rational but in the face of his sincerity, you can’t help but love him.

And the ML!!!! In a sea of cardboard cutout possessive gongs, he stands out. He slowly falls for the MC because of who the MC is as a person. He has a lot of trust issues but it was so wonderful to see him slowly open up to the MC. Also he understands the concept of consent, not only in bed, but also in life. Unlike other novels, he doesn’t just unilaterally fix everting or interfere in the MC’s business, he waits for the MC to ask or offers help. Also he’s not some crazed Yandere who wants to isolate the MC, their devotion is equal and he respects that MC has aspirations and goals that he won’t block.

The plot is also amazing. One thing I liked about the QT novel by this author was the fact that the MC realized that many of the stories had unreliable narrators... and this was brought back here. I love that even though MC has some information, the plot is a lot messier and unpredictable than what he knows. I also love that we get to switch between the MC and ML’s stories. One is more action while the other is is more mystery and drama, but the fact that you have two interesting plot lines helps keep the story fresh.

The side characters, including the brothers mentioned in the summary (and what a misleading summary that was), were all really fun and fleshed out. Honestly, outside of plot, I didn’t really care about the brothers, I much prefer all the fun side characters that surround the MC and ML.

oh, and the system... ahhhh supportive and so cute.

I look forward to reading the rest, as my only complaint is that it’s not fully translated! <<less
