The first task the system asked MC to do is to kiss the ML. MC immediately decided that this meant to kiss the other on the lips, trying to wiggle out of it and kiss on the cheek or something didn't even occur to him. He didn't even ask the system if kissing on the cheek would work.

And you still want to claim MC doesn't like the ML?

Aish, let me tell you, if a person really did not like the other, they would certanly try to wiggle out of doing something so unpleasant as kissing them on the lips. They'd kiss the lips only if there was no other way. But when it comes to MC, not only did he not try to wiggle out of it, but he even kissed ML very enthusiastically with tongue for a whole minute. He even shamelessly tried to ask the system for a bonus because he didn't give just a quick peck but went "above and beyond".

Does that sound like the other person doesn't like the ML? Dear other reviewers, are you blind??

And this is not an isolated incident. Whenever ML kisses the MC, the other's mind goes blank, and before he knows it, the two are enthusiastically kissing for a long time, until the ML breaks the kiss. No resistance, no pushing ML away, just enthusiasm. Is that a response one would have when being kissed by someone they don't like?

It's not the novel's logic that is lacking, it's clearly yours. (–_ლ)

yes, MC is trying to be killed by his cousin, but he doesn't ignore it! Just that he have to focus more on completing the mission to gain life point, but eventually he decided to investigate more on his cousin mu*der plan which then get resolved around the end of the chp.

The system isn't unreasonable, the system exist because of (SPOILER FOR CHP 80+) ML willingness in saving MC's death, ML exchanged his life to revived MC in which then the Death System exist to help MC gain Life Point. I won't spoiler more than that it's best to read it blindly

There are 3 couples.

The main is Ye Chen/ Ren Jing

Second is a bit sad because of there stories, fyi I cry for this couple, the shou hurt so badddd. Gu Xi/ Shen Jiaze

(dont know if his name is correct)

Third couple is ok not too much drama.

Yu Xingzhe / Sun

Even the main villain in this story doesn't have any lines to read

It's mostly due to the author's... laziness? I'd say poor writing but I think the relationship writing is well done, so who knows?

For example, the MC seemingly doesn't give the tampered car accident a second thought. But apparently he's been taking precautions this whole time and the author doesn't think to mention it until way later for no apparent reason. Felt like the author forgot about it too until it was relevant again.

Same with the kitten he rescued. It takes way too long to find out he took it home and sent it to the hospital. Even after knowing that, it's really not mentioned often and could have been left out.

The WORST example, is that he's friends with an actress (seemed sort of like an older sister relationship) and she gets into a car accident, is in the hospital, and has a miscarriage because of it. But she's never mentioned again (she might be in the extras but I only read the wedding extra). We don't even find out if she healed alright or what happened.

First of all, I was writing all these complaints while reading, but even finding out the "truth" at the end didn't make me feel any better about it. I'll rant about the "truth" in the last spoiler down below if you want to know.

My main complaint of the system is that it feels like a h**ny old man salivating over the main couple, trying everything it can to get them to be physical so it can perv on them. It's not made any better by the fact the system is always watching, commenting, and manipulating, only putting up mosaics for full s*x.

But here are some specific crimes:

• • The system lied about the abs task just to get around the MC's cleverness so not only would he have to do it again, he'd have to do it in an obviously s*xual way.

• • The system gives no leeway (it's part of the rules I guess, but the author could have written it differently). The MC would have died a couple tasks in because of the system's rigidness if the ML hadn't accidentally fulfilled the task himself. The system didn't even seem upset or apologetic of the close call.

• • The system seemingly gave the goodnight kiss task just because it wanted to perv more, made worse by the fact that they'd just kissed but it wanted them to again.

• • The system manipulated the MC into doing tasks by basically threatening him with his grandfather's life (he can use points to make him live longer). It doesn't even try to hide that fact, since to save him it requires the exact 10 points that are rewarded for the monthly task. The monthly task the MC had already decided not to do. The system also often mentions his family members' lives to get him to do tasks.

• • It gave a s*upid cheesy task right after the MC's older sister friend had a car accident, was still in the hospital, and had a miscarriage because of it. No downtime. How the h*ll is he supposed to have a cute movie date and flirt with the ML when his friend is in the hospital?

• • Again with the no sympathy or leeway (rules again, but author could have written it better). The ML was going to be gone for 3 days and it didn't give him a break on the tasks but forced him to go too (or else he'll die), even though, again, his friend was in the hospital.

• • A lot of the sweet scenes feel tainted by the smug system getting what it wants and gloating about it.

• • When the MC is worried about deceiving the ML's feelings while doing tasks, the system laughs in his face. We as readers can see it's because it's obvious they both like each other, but the system doesn't explain, then turns around and says not to worry since the ML is just playing with him anyway. Wth author?! This makes no sense for the system to say this.

• • The MC died again and the system tried to cheat him by saying he only had 1 point left after deduction instead of the 2 he actually had. There's a reason given later, but it just added to my rage in the moment.

• • When the MC won't complete a side mission, the system lies and says if he doesn't complete it he can't get any more missions. Therefore, he "has" to do it.

WORST OF ALL, near the end when they're pretty much already in their HEA, the system forces the MC to have s*x with the ML when he doesn't want to. Made me feel sick. They'd just had s*x the night before (consensual, eager, all good) and the MC was in the typical shou situation of being in so much pain (from soreness and overexertion) that he couldn't get up from bed.

The daily task the system gave was for him to have s*x with the ML again, and the MC wanted to skip because one, he was in pain, two, he'd already taken off so much time from acting and wanted to get back to it the next day so he needed the day to recover, and three, he just didn't want to. Nothing wrong with needing a f$^%ing break!

But then the system said this bull:

Death System put on an act. "Ren Jing is such a pitiful man. He loves you so much that he would throw away his life, yet in the end... you can't even fulfill such a tiny request... Tsk, tsk, to compare oneself with others is truly..."

Ye Chen suddenly felt a stab in his heart. "Wh-who isn't fulfilling him?!"

AAAAARGHGH! I want to kill it, omg I want to kill it. There is no excuse for this. I'm so mad. And the MC is too innocent to see manipulation or stand up to it. And the author could have just left this out! They already have their HEA, why are you ruining it?!!!

The MC actually died, and the ML found his body. The system offered the ML to bring the MC back to life at the cost of the ML only having one day left to live. The MC will have to complete tasks to keep him alive, but since they aren't close at this point, it's unlikely. The ML agrees anyway.

So basically, the points every day are to save the ML's life, not the MC's. The MC was never in danger.

Also, the tasks are created from subconscious thoughts of the ML since he's always thinking about the MC. (This is such a loose excuse. The ML was heading out of town yet still subconsciously wanted to go on a movie date and specifically be fed three pieces of popcorn on his lap? Yeah, not really buying it. Also, if this is the case, what about the system lying about tasks? Did the author forget about that?).

So when the MC died the second time and the system deducted a point more than it should have, it was because it wanted to save that point in case the MC couldn't complete a task, so the ML wouldn't die. But this is so dumb. The MC thought the points were for his own life, so if he kept the point, it'd serve the same purpose. How could he even waste it? There was no need for the system to pretend to take it.

-

What makes me more pissed with this "twist" is that the MC didn't find out until he confessed everything to the ML for a task, then chooses for the ML not to remember any of it (the system or tasks) anyway. What was the point of confessing it all in the first place?!

Also, because of the ML needing points to survive, the system is going to stay with the MC for the rest of his life! The whole book I was looking forward to everything finishing when they fell in love and the system going away. Agh!
