Description

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

Yuan Jia died early. After his death, he encountered a system and realized that his younger brother was the protagonist, and he was just the protagonist’s cannon-fodder brother.

Even though he was more talented than the protagonist, how could a supporting character be more powerful than the protagonist?

So, he faced a plot-induced death.

His business empire would be inherited by his protagonist brother…

His connections would be inherited by his protagonist brother…

His engagement would be inherited by his protagonist brother…

And he would only live in the protagonist’s memory as the older brother who died young. To be remembered when needed and forgotten when not.

Yuan Jia’s goal was to survive and live longer than his protagonist brother.

As long as he doesn’t die, the protagonist will always remain just a younger brother.

Honestly, the first arc didn't turn out so well but it doesn't get better either.
Spoiler

Some arcs were okay while some were questionable. One thing I noticed about the side characters is that they could conjure up problems and perspectives they think others have. This story seems to have similar worlds as all the other popular ML QT. If you're fan of the top ML QT, you might find this one very lacking

[collapse]

I struggled to finish this and at some point I gave up. Reread value = 1.

Only made it to chapter 22 before I move on.

MC is a world-hopper where he takes on the life of the older brother of the protagonist. Premise is that the older brother is capable and the only way for the Younger bro to get ahead is by taking what belongs to the older brother.

Supposedly the system MC has is one where he has to fulfill the original body's desire to live past their death moment.

... more>> ___

Arc 1 is an ancient feudal setting where MC is the eldest legitimate son of a Noble Marquis house. Younger brother is the younger, but close in age, illegitimate son. Younger bro is less capable, but that's due to a lack of support having to get his own resources to study and make connections. Older brother was originally weaker in body but was pretty intelligent and with amazing looks.

I'm moving off of this because of the disparity in treatment/ gas-lighting going on.

Like literally the Marquis [Father] is constantly praising/paving the way for his heir while his other son is basically ignored by him. But the novel keeps telling you that the Marquis is generous, and treating them well comparatively.

All household matters are handled by his official wife who makes no secret of disliking them, all the while they have to try to honor her, and he just let's it happen never interceding/or even meeting with them to explain what the author keeps saying he feels for them. If you have you have to constantly tell me that he's good, more than fair, or thinking for their future but never show it?

No, that's gas-lighting.

If you treat your other children like air or an afterthought it says that his wife is fine to do the same. He could have very easily encouraged his son to other things, so that it doesn't threaten the heir but still shows that he cares about them.

I've seen this done better, so I'm personally moving on. <<less

One of my favorite world hopping/QT novels. I've already read the complete novel via MTL a while back and now have reread up to what's been translated. The main character (Yuan Jia) is always calm, very intelligent, level headed, and talented in whatever he pursues. Essentially a standard MC, but I like how he manages his values compared to other MCs who sometimes go too far in revenge/face slapping and become hypocritical. There's not much romance which is what I prefer, in most worlds the protagonist remains alone. The best... more>> arcs are when the world's protagonist is a genuine good person and the main character is a cannon fodder due to fate, so Yuan Jia doesn't hold anything against the protagonist and they instead have a good relationship. My absolutely favorite arc is the Uncanny ghost arc, I honestly think the protagonist from this arc was probably Yuan Jia's favorite brother too. <<less
