Life Among the Drop-Dead Gorgeous

Description

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

Lin Mutian was an earnest “uncle” whose career fell to the bottom from its peak, turning him from a popular star into an ordinary man who was past his prime, had his contract terminated, and facing a bleak future. Should he start all over again? Or should he join the nanny industry?

How was he going to pay off his huge debts?!

The existence of an “uncle” always brings out that of a handsome young man. Would the life of an “uncle” be turned upside down when a handsome young man had his eyes on him and pestered him all day?

According to those handsome young men, if someone had to deal with the tough stuff, let “uncle” do it!

I don't want to rate it. Just finished ch 9, not my cup of tea.

The synopsis is misleading, the chapters are all spitting out hate and anger. The MC is innocent and bewildered at the surroundings.

I will update this, if I read it further. I posted this mainly for warning, it is not for fluff, atleast now.

Well I'm super angry while writing this so I'm sorry for typos and other accidents.

I read until ch48 and I only skipped over the last 20chapters. So it might get better as @Landfill123 said, but for me it only makes things worse.

The MC faces a lot of abuse and only abuse. He's r*ped and mistreated and none of the 4MLs are in any way good to him.... more>>
Spoiler

2 of his bandmates r*pe him after drugging him so ge doesn't know and treats them as friends. Another one r*pes him as punishments and out of hate, beats him up badly and terrorizes him. The 4th 'only' gave him psychological hell but since he also seems to know about the mistreatment or at least the intention to do so of the other 3 and never done anything against it he's just as scummy.

[collapse]

The MC doesn't even deserve any of their hatred but he's still played with and he doesn't put up a fight. I don't mean to blame him, but why is he still so good to his rapist? And why isn't he struggling tonbreak away from them?? He's already at the bottom so you can't argue that he can still lose something.

Getting to know that this is a harem ending where he apparently forgives his abusers because they 'changed for the better' makes me sick and furious.

It's not romantic it's braindead. Honestly, I'm used to a lot of dubious tropes and plots but this wqs too much for me. I don't enjoy the worsening abuse (and there's literally nothing else) and I certainly do not enjoy seeing the MC ending up all lovey dovey with the rapist who only scorned him and used him like a tool. <<less

It wasn't that bad? I know that the start is very harsh and the ML's are *ssholes but... they kinda get better as it progressed. People might find MC annoying but I don't mind. He's just too kind for his own good, he's easily moved. But that's basically the character setting for a typical MC in a harem novel. A pure flower of some sort.

... more>>
Spoiler

There are a total of 5 ML's. 3 of then r*ped MC and 2 of them was consensual during the first time. The way they value MC when they finally fell in love is quite nice. The s*x is kinda hardcore.

The smut.... is nice. towards the last 40 chaps? 30 chaps? They have groups*x multiple times. I didn't expect the double penetration tho. Don't worry, MC has this unrealistic golden body. His chrysanthemum is indestructible. But of course, I don't condone the r*pe that happens in the beginning and middle.

It's HE and they share MC together. They're dedicated to giving MC a good life. All Ml's are younger than MC. I don't know his exact age but at some point he was referred to as a middle-aged man. Maybe it was a kind of insult. I used google translate but it's understandable.

Slight politics and power struggle between ML's. MC gets kidnapped and all that. 3 of the ML's were rude and certified *ssholes. But, the other 2 ML's are gentle and takes MC's feelings into account from the beginning. I think best ML is Qing Yang (close friend from highschool)

[collapse]

Plot? idk... it's shit. I think the story mainly focuses on the relationships of the characters and smut. There are bits about the entertainment industry and politics. I wish the author elaborated on the MC's dad because that's what kept me curious during the first 20 chaps. Sadly, it didn't happen.

If you're patient enough and pe*verted, try this one. Btw, this will make your blood boil. But it's a rare BL harem, a genuine harem with harem end. It's what attracted me in the first place. @sleepingcat31 is right, synopsis is misleading. Not as cute or fluffy as I thought it would be. <<less

so mad for wasting my time reading some of it's chapters. What a misleading synopsis!
.
let me give you a more concise synopsis: the story is just a neverending abused, humiliation, degrading one self-worth, r*😐ped, gang-r*😐ped (4 r*🙁pist and 1 cumBucketShot -they don't treat him as human) and the author has the gal to beautify all this as "LOVE" when it's clearly just a stockholm syndrome since the MC was written as a spinessless passive doormat that just accept the daily abused without ever fighting back and then get use to it 🙄.
.
it's one thing if this is just a mere torture p*rn (i know this genre exist), but what I dislike the most is, it's trying to pretend to be "a love story" which, hell no!
.
r*😐ped is NEVER love.
.
forgiving the r*🙁pist by staying the f*ck away from them & having a good life in future is DEFINITELY DIFFERENT than actively staying together with said r*🙁pist and brainwashed yourself that it is a show of "love".

The story is really interesting but my problem is only with the translation. It is great up to chapter 54 but after that it's machine translated and I can understand what's happening with difficulty. This is just a warning, don't start reading this if you are not ok with MT. I guess I will just wait for the day when the rest has actually been translated. Otherwise it's a great read but not for the faint of heart. Everything bad happens to the MC, r*pe, beating you name it. But... more>> for me as long as the plot attractive and doesn't bore me I'm pretty fine with anything. <<less

"Synopsis is misleading". Absolutely. #stockholm syndrome #sexualundertone #ret*rdedMC #deal with it)))) Sorry, it was veeery long journey. Bad trip, if I may say))) So, I have something to tell.

MC have no will, goals or vital power. Like a doll, dummy, pacifier for spoiled kids. Leaf on the water. All MLs have huge mental issues for their age. Let`s call it love and forgive it anyway. But MC born to be sl@ve, no offence. So childish, that not even fun.

... more>>
Spoiler

Big dream about family life? Let`s leave the wife alone and bring to our home a few f@ckbuddies. Professional life, want some prizes? But no trainings, no songs, no web activity, no managers or nannycars around. Many, many questions. Are they really famous idols? Some hard work and talents in action? No? And no one knew they are brothers? How youngest bro become so powerful to take all business back? How old he was? 15? Before he kinda r*ped MC (30yrs old) he asked him ”Do you remember? Ten years ago, there was a five-year-old kid being driven out of Lin’s mansion by your heartless daddy"

Большая мечта о семейной жизни?

Had to read all novel in hope to find any sense or smut.)) Both hopeless

Spoiler

It`s weird, when characters went to WC, bathroom or some closed space or drink tea - and that supposed to be their s*xual life. Maybe in next two chapters MC mentions about what exactly happened - in one sentence. Did this ML beat him or it was euphemism.

[collapse]

But It was fun to read comments section on Flying Lines, where people try to find out "did he or not".

The base of their... let`s say... relationship -is a compulsive s*xual life, but there is no reflection or discussion about.

Spoiler

He is so *** that he can`t feel something physically after all night threesome under drugs. What? why they did it, how did they decide to cooperate and r$pe the man - no information. They were idol group, but after all they act like strangers. Even media keep asking are they really close and know each other well. MC was older, but didn`t handle with this kids, even like nanny or manager.

[collapse]

The second most popular question in the comments section on FL is- "What is all this about?" Lol <<less

I have a very low standards in bl novels. That's why, despite the low ratings in this book, I still read it. And I can say, this has been a waste of my time.

It is true when they say the synopsis is misleading. Very misleading. Almost everything in this book happens without any clear reason. Like, everything just go downhill just because it can.

This story is like a roller coaster ride full of emotions. You don’t know how to feel for Mutian, you could be sad, angry, pity or adore him.

... more>>
Spoiler

Its starts of great typical haremish story, but in the later half it's just gets worse.

All members of the group hate Lin Mutian because his father was a bad guy.

His girlfriend acts caring bit is two sided b*tch

He was r*taped by his step brother but that's okay and he forgets about it after few days

Few chapter later he was again r*ped by his members when he was drunk and unconscious, and he didn't even realize that

MC was completed Oblivious about this...

He gets hate from everyone and is overworking his life.

So much bad stuff happened and it just makes you wish to kill those so called team members...

[collapse]

The plot.... well not the best. I would say it mainly focuses on relationships between the characters and smut.

“Synopsis is misleading”, I would absolutely agree with that. The story is not as cute or fluffy as some think it will be.

overall will not recommend but if you are interested in this kind of stuff. <<less

This is a vicious violent group plot by 4 MLs to destroy the MC to get revenge on his father, so the MC was guilty by default and somehow “deserves” to become a throughly broken doll shattered through repeated r*pe, gangbanging, drugs, betrayal, force, physical beatings, physical, mental, and emotional torture. It is a disgusting look at abuse of money and power allowing men to do whatever they want to whomever they want without any serious consequences to the MLs. To say there’s anything remotely pretty or fluffy about this... more>> novel would be lying. I say don’t waste your time unless you’re into this type of thing. <<less

Harem Harem. s*upid MC..I mean even after being r*pe unconsciously by 3 d***, he should at least know how his as*hole feels. It like he is born to bottom and don't even need after care. Absolutely NO SUGAR/LOVE.. oh well twisted love perhaps...

1 bottom 5 top HE Finally at least (The only positive thing about this book). Smut... its just sprinkle. Basically.. took him that night/hug him wham bam it morning.

If you barely survive MTL, skip this. I have to directly read last chapter just to close this book. The... more>> MTL translation keep naming MC "the man the man the man"

I was hook as I don't mind Harem and its already rare genre since mostly is female harem, After all as long the care love and mutual respect is there. But in the end I have to give up. <<less
