4 out of 5 🌟

Cute quick transmigration story, not my favorite one but definitely better than most of them in the qt genre

I did dropped this novel a few months ago but came back to finish it and boyy I did not regret my decision 🤧

Kinda wish there was an extra or two to see more of the chemistry between MC and ML after the backstory was revealed hwhwhwhwhwh ✊😔✊💪🤧

A solid 4, the synopsis is something you can completely ignore. The MC is capable enough not to rely on the golden thigh, then again, it's not that he wants to hug it, even if he's not seeking it out, golden thigh comes knockin' (so he definitely is not a flower vase weak shou that goes down crying 'aiiyaaa' with a push).

The main plot is persistently there in all arcs and it ties in well with the end (not something half-baked like some novel Beloved Husband that squeezes it half... more>> assed in a summary all together to make do.) There's plentiful of emotional struggle of both main characters in the story, as well as detailed flashbacks.

Arcs themselves are decently fleshed out, the side characters are simple but some thoughts had been put into them with thrilling or emotional twists.

Story has been a very smooth read thanks to the translators and the entertaining writing of author.

Only complaint would be the ML in the first arc came on too strong, but the scenes were hot enough to ignore. Also taking one star off for being too mainstream, classic QT host, classic ML type, classic arcs.

Actually a Yaoi BL, the s*xual tension during there make out scenes are on 140% (so sad about it not being smut). No story stalling either (like padding word counts with too many arcs that's dead-pan boring with nothing happening Beloved Husband, still got a terrible aftertaste from that crap), yay! <<less

I like this novel very much. It’s different from other transmigration novel that every things is so easy and Can’t feel much of MC’s emotion. MC is not too fake or too Mary su. And when reading, you can feel joy in the tasks and it’s not boring with same routine of plot in every wold.
This is one of my favorite novels and a few wold hopping novel I can finished. Many wold hopping novels was abandoned because of Mary su, so it’s boring and not exciting at all.

I’m really recommend this!!

Ok, so the synopsis is completely misleading and that has nothing to do with the actual story, I really liked it, kind of felt like I was missing a part of myself when it ended though. Not because it was THAT good, but because the ending... I don’t know how I feel about the ending. It’s a weird ending, like they’re in a dream but they’re not. It’s dark yet happy atmosphere? I don’t know, it contradicts a lot. Besides that, the story was interesting.

Recommended. It is one of the world-hopping novels that I love. I love how each world keeps adding mysteries for the readers to solve and how it added interest for me, to the point, that I got invested and wanted to learn the story.

The romance plot is bittersweet, the connection between the male lead and the main character is sad but in the end, they finally got the happy ending they deserve. It has a lot of scheming that is slowly being unveiled. As a reader, we joined the MC... more>> into realizing the plot within the world-hopping that is given to him as a mission.

I don't want to spoil it so, I urge everyone to read it. It's good and the plot is different. At least, the plot has its uniqueness and it is centered between our main couples. <<less

Rating: 4.5

Favorite and would definitely reread! It was a really fun, easy read. I devoured over 100 chapters in a few days. Very low thought, don’t think you’re getting the next Pulitzer when you’re reading it. After the first couple of worlds, MC and ML have instant attraction when they meet. The standard “super powerful, domineering ML” but he’s surprisingly not r*pey and very doting on MC. He’s definitely of the mentality “happy wife, happy life”. The arcs are fun, none of the world building is particularly expansive or ground... more>> breaking. MC seems pretty heartless in the first couple worlds but ends up falling pretty epically for ML which was cute. Plenty of face slapping, golden thigh hugging and dog food to keep any world-hopping fan happy lol. Don’t think too much, it’s just a fun read! <<less

It was alright. Not something that makes me want to re-read, nor something that was memorable.

It was interesting enough to complete reading.

Not the best I have read and not a particularly stellar work, but I still had an enjoyable reading process while it lasted. This is a typical novel where I'll forget what the plot is about and forget about the characters after a while. Especially since I wrote this review weeks after I finished with the novel, had to revisit and read a bit of the last chapter to refresh my memory on what this plot is about.

Not a solid 5 star, might even 4 for me, but for the translation and my enjoyment from reading this, I think this deserve a 5 star to boost the rating.

A little bit lower quality compare with QWFOD, and far from Heroic Death System. The world building in HDS is truly good. This one is lack in world building, the comedy is behind the Slag Shou, but the hidden plot is quite nice. The romance is cute and passionate, the comedy is there, the plot transitions is quite smooth.

Overall, there’s... more>> a reason why MC seems to be cold and unable to love in the first arc, he will be more passionate and shameless with every task being done. If you like QT story, this one is good for you to go. <<less

The main plot was amazing! I love how it concluded.

Each arc was nice, but the concept was just okay, though the plots were good.

I hope there was more world building in each plot though, but considering how short the arcs were, it was already nice enough.

Hoping for a few more extras and hoped for more character development for side characters.

It was a good read.

This novel is pretty great. Before reading, I didn't really have much expectation for this cuz like the name suggests MC holding thigh and I don't like reading s*upid MCs holding thighs. Nonetheless, when I start reading, I found it is quite different from my imagination. The first arc is a bit awkward because there is no real feelings between the MC and the ML like only the ML is in love and not MC. But the MC says he doesn't have heart so his heart can't beat for anyone.... more>> So, the ML in first arc is quite pitiful. Though from the second arc, the MC starts to grow genuine feelings towards the ML. He was quite cute acting jealous though he doesn't realize it himself. The arcs are pretty good. Although there are some unnecessary plots for example, in the third arc, the MC keeps telling the ML that the wine he personally brews is the only one and the best wine in the world and that he would let ML have a taste but later there's no mention of the wine at all. Jus as the arcs keep on going, the author let us see some relation between the MC's past and the ML. Their backstory is what I am reading the novel for. U guys should read till the end and read how Gu Bai becomes the recent Gu Bai and his past. Also the MC and the ML are very cute both in the past or in the present. •○• Anyway, I rate is 5/5 and if u want some cute and not so heavy QT with some backstory, u should read this one. <<less

It was good! No need for comparison cause stories have different authors and have different ways of conveying the story and I'm really glad that I chose to read this it was a fun read! I love our MC and of course our ML, I hope they continue to be happy!!

For the arcs: ... more>>
Spoiler

1. Gu Bai x Step Brother - why is there always a not-really-blood-related-brothers in QTs? HAHAHAH its feels like a unsaid rule, but either way I still like it HAHAHAHA I actually really liked this, Gu Bai did not magically fell inlove, and ML was not so very overbearing that Gu Bai wasn't free and all. I liked Gu Bai's tacticsxsz. I liked how even tho they spent time together Gu Bai wasn't immediately uselessly attached to his partner in this arc.

2. Demon Sect Leader x Loving Disciple previously saved by the demon leader - I liked this cause that Haige (?) or that cinnabar mole got to know how blessed he was, tho I do understant his unlike to the Demon Sect Leader who keeps pursuing him but, , he should still have the least respect cause he was the one who helped him u know, and it's not like he was really pushed or forced, and lol with falling in love for half a month lol, OP Gu Bai here, didn't ML draw him here? HAHAHAHA so pe*verted, ML also watched him bath? HAHAHH liked this cause the original host deserved better cause he just wanted to protect the leader.. Also Gu Bai became sus to his man HAHAH

3. Crown Prince? X Rich family's mistress's son? - Lol, there's no specific name for them, again, Gu Bai used his tacticsxs in the beginning here and I liked how he plotted with ML, like he told the truth, oh and he seduced him EHE, I love seductive/tempting/teasing Gu Bai, the people surrounding ML is always shocked lol. That's good for Fu Junli lol, anyone who uses substitute are just a big NO bch, , the original host didn't know anything, he was too pitiful. I remember Gu Bai also said his real name here..

4. OP gamer x Girl Character OP Gamer MC - again, , idk the shortcut HAHAHHA loved this cause ML didn't have the usual aura and they met first online, , Gu Bai's hateful antics loll, that gurl is just, , , I mean she didn't deserve any of the good things she had, she was so fake, and I don't know what made others like him before with the original owner who is again pitiful. Lol ML just pursued Gu Bai here and it's still really likeable, and lol with the accidentally attacked by 'extremely arrogant' such a real name loll.

5. Emperor x Dog (yao) - lol, idek what really happened here, the revenge was so easy cause emperor which is the ML was too powerful and he obv work with Gu Bai, it was enjoyable reading abt Dog Gu Bai HAHHAHA this was a bit simple but it was fun lol

6. Arms dealing ML x Lost Young master (apocalypse) - this was just so so so messy HAHAHAA it was a protagonist halo that Gu Bai found ML that early and lol, he was op, with Ah Hu, and his sword, and barrier lol, I loved this Gu Bai, oh and he was also so sexy here eheheh I actually didn't hate the step brother much? Cause I read the Lord of End of World and he was still redeemable compared to the sister in LOEOW. But the original owner was also pitiful cause he didn't get the life he was supposed to and when he did, he had to face the apocalypse powerlessly, aw, nvm, he deserved better, his wish is ok. Hahhaha ML was even gone in the end here

7. Militar captain/future emperor x Another prince's man? - HAHAHAHA it's just consistent u know.. Anw, the slag gong def deserved that, I mean, this is always a lesson, ALWAYS FINISH WATCHING/LISTENING if ur gonna devote urself to somthing lol, learn everything first!! The original host def deserved so much better, altho Gu Bai was the one who self mutilated but I doubt the original owner wouldn't do that, anw, the revenge was deservedt, lol the ML was bullied a bit here, he even had impotence, and had to drink vinegar most of the time lol, who told u to collect beauties huh? Hahahhaa Gu Bai is funny here with the 'drunken mistake' lol he wants to eat meat but needs a reason lol.

8. Admiral in Interstellar x Admiral's love obssesive man - the revenge ain't much, the gurl didn't do much but she was the one who brought that ending to her tho. I can't with Gu Bai and ML's shamelessness HAHAHAH ML be so doting with his cute little baby HAHAHAH, it was a good transition I think, to the main story, it was fun cause Gu Bai got hated and then got loved loll, he was op. There ain't much here, like only 1 month worth of events in the story itself..

9. Real Story Demon Realms war of God x Immortal realm's Emperor's Puppet - I liked how I didn't feel like Yin Baigu was not Gu Bai. I really accepted him as the same person which is always a risk in this kind of story, I love their love's origin, tho it was a bit confusing, esp with the gold and white robes in the middle of the arcs, I mean, I actually thought the gold robe was Ye Cang. Anw, I love Gu Bai before and after and I def love Ye Cang too. They both deserve it, people kept on finding trouble for them when they just wanna be together aww.

[collapse]

I honestly wanted more, esp outside of the world and they just enjoy being with each other with their real bodies and not bounded by some mission, I always want those extras in QT novels but they always don't give it huuhu ANW, it was shorter than others so it is a bit easy to move on but I still really hope that they're happy cause they deserve it. Reread? Hmm not really cause it's a bit too short for me to consider rereading <<less

A novel of QT troupe. My opinion is that this novel is average.

There are arcs I enjoyed, and so, there are also arcs I don't.

For me personally, Holding onto my man is a novel that I will read leisurely, however, I don't think I will re-read it entirely.

MC is a fun character, he is first introduced as a heartless character and is later explained why. He also is shameless and decisive, meaning that he's not some brainless mary sue. ML is written blandly in some arcs and is OP and... more>> cool in some arcs. Lol.

I don't have many complaints on our MC nor ML, however, the villains is oh man, very brainless ah. I'm okay with them being like this and was expecting equal retribution. But, I feel that the face-slapping is very unsatisfactory for my dramatic heart. ヽ (`д´*) ノ The ending for each arc is also divided into 2. Some is okay and nice while some is full of plotholes.

All in all, an okay read, does cause loss of brain cells sometimes but I still enjoy it. <<less

I'm a sucker for world-hopping genre ever since I read FOD, this novel is one that I really like too.

I especially love the ending/conclusion of the story so much.

By this novel I had to re-read just to remember the stories and write this review... (don't judge me T-T)

Big thanks and love for Chrysanthemum Garden for bringing this novel for english readers with a really good translation and helpful footnotes<3

Just a side note. Tho he didn't fall for his master. But damn, those guys who fell for him got crazy. His lover got straight up mad and kill them. While his master is crazy selfish and wanted to "erase" him for himself. And even the btch got crazy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Got hooked by the blurb but even though it was misleading, I don't regret it one bit! It was too fast! I want more.

Favorite Character: Madame Du. No explanations needed. She's from the second arc if I remember right.

Favorite Arc: Last Arc where they revealed origin.

... more>> The Arc where I have to cover my face: Instellar Arc

Gu Bai is having difficulties with moralities and recognizing affection because of his lack of memories and a detail regarding his true identity at the end. The arcs slowly shows his character development in the sense of liking someone and recognizing emotions. <<less

First and foremost DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE SYNOPSIS GIVEN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH. THAT IS NOWHERE NEAR HOW THE STORY IS. Hope some one changes it ASAP. Now moving onto the important part. I Loved it!!! Loved the story. The characters are cool. The stories/ arcs are really nice. I loved the plot and the MC and ML are really excellent. I sincerely thank the author and the translators for bringing us this gem of a work. 😍😍😍😍

A quick note. The translations after chapter 29 part 1 is... more>> done by Chrysanthemum Garden and Peony Novel TL Did the ones before <<less
