Mary Sue: A Faithful Adaptation

Description

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

The upright protagonist – is the editor of a female literature website. Because of his straightforwardness, he offended many authors of Mary Sue novels who wanted to sign contracts. “I’m sorry, your writing style is exaggerated and immature, and it has not yet reached the contract standard.” “I’m sorry, the plot of your work lacks logic, and it has not yet reached the contract standard.” The resentment of the authors of rejected Mary Sue novels gathered together and brought the protagonist into the world of Mary Sue novels. This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that these authors ’ exaggerated and terrifying descriptions are actually faithfully restored by the world of novels… The protagonist has to do this every morning

Running at a sprint speed of 100 meters, he searched for the toilet in a huge villa with an area of 100,000 square meters. The protagonist does not dare to cry, or even yawn hard, because the book assumes that his tears will be like diamonds, and if he accidentally cries, he will go blind. When the protagonist is happy, roses fall from his head, and when he is unhappy, cherry blossoms fall from his head. The protagonist resolutely shaves himself bald, but the setting is overbearing, and his hair will grow back on its own after ten seconds. The protagonist’s father recharges the protagonist’s bus card every time with a minimum of 10 million.

The protagonist said, “Dad, why don’t you buy me a Ferrari?” The father kindly refused because the author That’s not how it ‘s written. The worst thing is that the protagonist has been engaged to the son of the world’s largest consortium boss since he was a child, the mentally ret*rded person is a mixed race from 18 countries, one year older than the protagonist, claiming that he fell madly in love with the protagonist when he was one month old, who was still a fertilized egg at the time.

Каждый раз, когда я вижу его, мне хочется выбить из него все дерьмо, но я все равно должна стиснуть зубы и с любовью упасть в его объятия, в соответствии с сюжетом…

There are several points that I found it interesting in this novel. Let me say it one by one.
  • When the novel say it's a parody, then it's truly is a parody. A parody of a Mary Sue and Gary Sue characters. Or actually after reading this novel, the one that got parodied is actually the Classic Shoujo Manga around 90' till 2000, where Harem is a must, secret identity is a must, a prince identity for the Main Lead is a must, the heir of corporation A to corporation X that were able to control global economy is a must (lol), and the fated lover is a must.
  • I think the author here really is venting out the frustration for many readers towards the classic BL or Shoujo romance past decades, where as the logic was thrown out the window, the IQ of the characters were below average, and non-con or abusive relationship (hate to love) was worshipped by a certain if not most of the mass. And the MC here, is the editor who was also scolding the author of such writers, telling them honest reviews of their work, and tell them rather than writing off such an illogical work wildly it's better to think calmly and create a better quality work, lmao.
  • The ML here, I found some readers are a bit dissatisfied with how he was slightly manipulative and scheming towards the MC. That's true. But, something that makes me forgive the ML and like him instead is because he's HONEST. He admit that he's petty, he admit that he's a pe*vert, he admit that he's not pure and amazing. I think he successfully pulled my heartstring by admitting those qualities rather than pretending to be the cool Male God persona a seme/gong usually portrayed as.
  • The ML is not the type of Overbearing President like many other novel has. In reality he's just a helpless and a coward in love. In the outside he looked like a president who is always punctual and always catch the slackers in his company every morning. And yet in reality he's someone who woke up later than anyone, but his place was just 3 minutes walk from the office, thus he still can come early compared to others (that's a blatant cheating, LOL). He's catching slackers in his company, earning the title of the scary and disciplined CEO, and yet in reality the reason he caught those slackers was just because he wanted to catch and spent more times with the MC whose home was far from the office and always come late despite waking up early. But, because the ML is an awkward and a coward in love, he ended up never make a good use in those time he caught the MC being late, and in the end always failed to get close to the MC, lmao. Instead of the super perfect ML that most Gary Sue novel has, the ML is really just, someone with a good looks and a good fortune in money, but still is a human and a lame one at that, lmao.
The writing is fresh and engaging. It's a comedy, with a sprinkle of sugar for Fujoshi (lots of kisses, hugs, s*x, and fluffy scenes at the later chapters) but mostly a parody. It's really suitable to read when you're going to relax and spend time doing nothing (lol).

Talk about exaggerating and cliche plot, this is the prime example.

The description of this novel really says everything!! A house that is soo H U G E that you could easily lost yourself just by going at the bathroom. A butler that have a salary of $1 billion that could easily destroy your self-esteem. A lightning dragon c*ck and a rainbow of piss. A sly and loving vinegar drinker ML, and also a scumbag (you will know why 😂😂) and a dense MC will give you a ride in this... more>> strange and comedic world.

There is no common sense in this novel and also the law of physics was bend. If you want to read for laughs, you better read this!!! <<less

Short funny, exaggerated story.

Major plot spoiler about ML: ... more>>
Spoiler

he actually liked MC since before the story starts, so he ends up drinking A LOT of vinegar throughout the story. Poor thing!

[collapse]

One thing I disliked about the story, mentioned in the summary, is MC "seducing" many NPCs. Not a lot but a handful and
Spoiler

it happens even after knowing ML's feelings. Though MC reasons it as the NPC are not real. And it's for the sake of farming points so that they can go back to the real world sooner. But from a certain perspective, makes MC look like a slag man haha.

[collapse]

One interesting thing about the extras:
Spoiler

Two stories about the NPCs getting their own happy end! I wasn't interested in the second story but I really liked the first one! MAJOR spoiler but it's the doctor and the assassin.

[collapse]

Overall, the relationship does quickly become sweet and it's a neat concept of team mates acting out scenarios together in a script. Not a long read so a bonus too (I didn't want to read MC "seducing" more NPC). <<less

The story is funny, adorable and well paced, with a good sprinkle of smut dispersed throughout the novel - a fun read.

I'm here to address some people's complaints about the ML's scheming and manipulation.

... more>>
Spoiler

Once the ML confesses his feelings for MC, their relationship becomes extremely honest, they tell each other the truth even if the truth is awkward and uncomfortable. This honesty underpins the MC's attraction to the ML and makes the gorgeous but virtual NPCs pale in comparison.

The ML does not abuse or gaslight the MC. He respects the MC and carefully checks the MC's comfort level before pushing his s*xual boundaries each time, but never does anything that would actually make the MC feel violated. It's the same trust and psychological power-play for people who enjoy bondage and S&M.

In contrast, the MC is probably more manipulative and hurtful towards the NPCs than the ML is with him.

[collapse]

The power dynamics in the novel is done well and is incredibly sexy. It may not be for everyone, but I'd like to clarify that the scenes described are consensual and enjoyable to all parties involved. If you feel uncomfortable reading it, please respect that nothing untoward is happening here. <<less

Love the premise, the MC is hella cute and his comments are the best, and the translation is top-notch. However! I do not like the ML at all - just gave me a very gross feeling. He alters and lies about the tasks several times to suit his desires, for example: ... more>>
Spoiler

one of the tasks require that they make out passionately. The MC just has to struggle and then get an erection, the ML is supposed to kiss and then bite his tongue. However, he doesn't tell the MC the latter part and so they're forced to make out several times. This was especially gross cause at that time the MC thought he was 100% straight, had no interest in guys or the ML, and was scared of him (in a he's my boss way). So he knew this wasn't something he wanted to do but still did it..... ew.

[collapse]

Even worse,
Spoiler

when they're sleeping in bed together (just sleeping), he'll pump the gun and do his thing while hugging the MC. This was all before the confession. So. Yeah. He also used the threat of losing MC's bonus to coerce him, asked administration to remove a tent during a work trip so that he'd be forced to room with him (though MC ended up not going), and transferred him to the BL department w/o asking cause he wanted him to get used to the idea of a gay relationship. Really just a power play smh.

[collapse]

Yes, later the ML admits that he's in love with the MC and that he's a pe*vert but it really doesn't make up for his previous actions. It's just forceful and dubcon at parts. And the MC then falls in love so quickly it's ridic: I wasn't sure if it was cause of the ML or due to the suspension effect cause the MC showed absolutely no previous hints of liking him before and got goosebumps reading BL. But the MC and story is really good so I struggled through until the last translated chapter but I'm def not gonna read the updates. Nonetheless, is a really cool concept so if you don't mind reading a fic with a kinda shitty ML then go ahead!! <<less

First of all, I was about to be put off by a person's review even though they only read 1 chapter and I think they just saw the tag 'Transported to Another World' as 'World Hopping' cause they thought this would have multiple worlds and they were put off by the mention of 6..? hectare bed so they definitely didn't read the summary cause it's clearly stated what kind of world it's gonna be. Seriously, read the summary and tags first before diving into the story. Moreover, giving a review... more>> when you only read 1 chapter, read at least 10.. ok... 5 for those who have short tempter, before writing a review, please!!

This novel is a parody with the kind of world where everything unrealistic is forcefully made realistic. For eg. Hectare-wide beds (and waking in the middle of them), single bathroom in the entire mansion (that spans nearly 10 hecatres or more). It's all following absurd discriptions to the point.

And I tell you I have unfortunately read stories with that wide bed and about people who can change the global economy with just 'one finger'. And I have to absolutely ignore these partially cause the plot was good.

This parody kind of satisfied my dissatisfaction with that.

Now about the MC and ML. They faithfully depict romcom.

They get their brainwaves transferred into one of the novels rejected by the MC.

MC is your typical office worker at start. Just how you are yourself and expect someone to be an ordinary person in a novel. He's an editor in the BL section, though he was stuffed into this section unwillingly. He's dense or rather, he appears to be dense but is in denial all the time.

ML at start seems to be a typical cold CEO but then you realise... He's just a lazy, deceptive and hardworking boss albeit a bit perverse towards his crush. He's already fallen in love with MC (it ain't much of a spoiler cause you know it as early as nearly 5 chapters). He also loves taking advantage though he doesn't ignore MC's feelings.

Now, on to side characters, the 'male extras'. They are walking extra points for MC and ML becomes vinegar-addict due to this. Due to plot armor of the rejected novel, they fall in love with MC at a drop of a hat due to low IQ towards MC's chara. Albeit this, they're quite nice too except some such as the lustful doctor Xuanyuan (?) X, the corrupted burglar Tuoba X and the green tea Nangong X. The butler was so-so.

I really liked the assassin, the admiral and the prince.

Their affection toward the protagonist couple vanish afterwards the main quests are all completed. So they get their own happy endings afterwards.

TL, DR: A parody depicting unrealistic world along with romcom of an ordinary boss and an ordinary editor. It's all fun, no angst. <<less

I read comments saying "ROFL, THIS IS HILARIOUS JAJAJJAJAJ", "DEFINITELY MUST READ SO f*ckING FUNNY 😄", THE HUMOR IS KILLING ME FROM LAUGHING 🤣"... No. I don't know if my expectations were too high, but I have yet to see anything that'd crack me up so much that I would feel the need to comment on it like those above.

I'm not that hard to please either tho, but I swear I laughed much more at my sister's elementary grade jokes. Does it have a light-hearted atmosphere? Sure. Does it make... more>> me smile? Yes. But I gotta admit I forced myself to laugh at some points just because I thought like "I gotta laugh here ig" lol.

MC is your average straight (?) bottom with below-average EQ.

Have no comment on ML's black-bellied design, if he wasn't the way he was, that denser than a neutron star MC could never hope to get the ball rolling.

Translation quality is excellent, writing and characters are consistent with no sudden IQ drops, but that's it.

Giving 3 for the concept 'cause I personally didn't enjoy it that much. <<less

The only good thing about this is the hilarious ridiculousness of the world (s). Granted I didn't make it through the first, and now decided to drop it. The gong might seem innocent and charming but he's manipulative, repeatedly mol*sts and lies to the shou. His puppy dog "apology" including the phrase "I couldn't help it" was the straw that broke the camel's back. You can always help manipulating and mol*sting someone.

Hahahahahaha ohhh my god. This novel is a riot. When the summary says he needs to enact a ridiculous novel, it is truly, truly ridiculous.

MC has to walk 10 minutes to get out of bed, and 30 minutes to get to the bathroom. He has 20+ personalities. He sheds flower petals depending on his mood. And he can only eat flower petals... but not the ones from his head. Oh, and he also pees rainbows.

On the other hand, ML... ML pees electricity. Yeah, you read that right.

Even though the setting... more>> might seem kinda corny, it absolutely hilarious. The circumstances that MC and ML are forced into, as well as ML's secret debauchery, really make this one of the funniest novels I have ever read.

Although this is mostly comedy, there is also a good amount of romance, something that romcoms often fail to accomplish. If you're looking to exercise your abs, go ahead and read this novel, cause I know I sure got a good workout by laughing. <<less

The initial idea is fun, the over the top universe is well thought, but overall it becomes repetitive, the characters are absolute caricatures, which is great for the fiction one, but rather dull for the real world one, so it lacks any kind of depth

The fact that the MC is totally heartless and never thinks of consequences limits the potential, the ML also only has two face : he's either a secretive manipulative overpowered and jealous ceo, or a total s*ave to his beloved - that literally two dimensional and... more>> mostly a passive character, as he doesn't have any ability to trigger side quest (another limitation)

i guess it would have been more interesting if the mischief of the idiotic MC had real influence on the plot, making a mess and bringing more troubles

The fact that the script will never change no matter what, makes for a limited experience

In the same manner, it would have been way more dynamic if both characters had an equal possibility of grabbing side quest and had personal targets - of course more variety of side quests would have been much needed too !! (The repeated evil selfish seduction to gain points is vastly disappointing)

thanks for making it available, although I think it's a miss, it's nice inspiration <<less

Omg this is such a parody. Kinda reminiscent of japanese manga bl, with the ridiculously wide bed and hands, the extravagant houses and luxuries. And the usual premise of a cold!seme with billions dollar and soft!weak!uke that needs to be protected. Good ol' time.

Pros :

Funny, each chapter is so much fun, I didn't get bored at all. The MC inner monologue is enjoyable. Also, the reason why he got transmigrated is sooo funny.

The MC, this is kinda rare to me, he is straight at the beginning of the novel. Hard... more>> to find this kind of character considering this is a modern novel with comedic undertone.

The ML, gosh he's the cherry on top. Things wrap up nicely, the tension betweem him and MC is great. Sometimes MC could be dense but ML know how to handle that very well.

I can't think of a con, I don't find anything to talk bad about it, would definitely re read this again. <<less

I really liked this one at first. I read laughing so hard at the initial chapters and the comedy was top-tier. But I had to persevere just to finish it. This won't be a detailed review covering everything, I'll just be saying a few thoughts I had while reading.

  1. The ML's personality was lacking
  2. All those other capture targets appearing annoyed me but that's just because the story was already starting to stale and I'm not a fan of an MC having to attract other people plotline. But if you don't mind that, then forget what I said.
  3. Lastly, the comedy faded as I read further and eventually the plot just... wasn't that refreshing. All the novel left in me as a reader was that the comedy didn't last through the whole novel as I hoped it would. And the plot didn't live up to the lively, thought-inducing expectation I had of it.
But the translator did well! And all in all, these are just my own preferences, maybe you'd enjoy it better. At the very least, give the first few chapters a chance and figure out if you'd like the rest of the novel too.

So I really really liked this story!

Maybe it's because when I was younger I read way too many Mary Sue/Gary Sue stories, especially with ridiculous dog blood plots. And they were all the same. Perfect CEO gorgeous, brooding falls for delicate innocent who 'defiantly' stands up to them while falling under their feet like a door mat. And running away, getting caught, begging to come back, can't get over....I believe that's called stalking these days.

Anyway, to have it pushed to the extreme then have these two, normal guys have to... more>> navigate the absurdity was hilarious. Getting stuck eating flower petals, the MC totally oblivious to the thunderbolts of jealousy that keep showing up. The brain dead system, locking them into absurd tasks. I agree with another commenter. For the ML, he's not perfect and doesn't pretend to be. He's honest about being jealous, pe*verted, shy awkward and in love with the MC from the beginning. The MC is far from perfect but he's not s*upid (except when it comes to love), thinks quickly on his feet and just wants to see an author who can actually write!! (I couldn't stand to read all those garbage submissions either :D)

The chapter 'where's my tail' had me shrieking with laughter, MC didn't even know he started the whole relationship!! <<less

Humorous parody, excellent translation.

The romance is very unoriginal, the characters have very predictable personalities (tsundere/innocent/"straight preson" MC) but the setting and writing style make up for it.

Imagine beds the size of football fields, MC only surviving on flower petals and dew, etc.

😎

Great fluffy novel to pass the time with.

This was very cute and fun in how over the top ridiculous the world was. Its a lighthearted read, short and easy.

Other reviews made me concerned there would be serious non-con elements or extended manipulation or other darker themes.

This is not really the case, at least not for the majority of the story. It is true that one time ML manipulates MC into a much longer series of kisses than would have otherwise happened, but that's it in terms of lies - shortly thereafter the ML admits his feelings, and... more>> the MC works out he lied about the kisses and the ML admits as much.

Afterwards, however, they do maintain a dynamic of the MC pretending to not be into it because he's still adjusting to not being straight. This dynamic is written as something understood by both sides, ie the MC actively choosing to pretend to not be into it (multiple times, when considering if he should just admit it already) and the ML tolerating this (in fairness they're in a world where the MC literally sheds rose petals any time he's happy so, uh. It's fairly obvious he's happy).

.... also, the tagged tentacle p*rn happens with a side couple extra, not the main couple or main story text. <<less

This novel takes readers to a very unrealistic world, but that is also kind of interesting. A world where beds are bigger than football courts, flower petals falling down according to the mood of the characters or characters can call upon thunder etc.

The MC is so adorable which is a reason I kept reading this novel. ML is also worth commenting. ML is devoted to the MC, while MC played an emotionally dense role until ML straightforwardly confessed.

But because the plot is very simple, I cannot give this more than... more>> 3 stars.

All in all this book is a lighthearted story which is good to read. <<less

Too unrealistic, I thought it would be fun and multiple worlds, but it’s 40+ chapters of descriptions of beds that are larger than 4 football fields and one bathroom in a mansion which covers several square miles, and MC can’t eat anything but flowers and if he cries he will go blind and it was boring and I tried to finish, but I couldn’t

This story is a riot of gentle chaos that will have you laughing non-stop.

Our MC and ML are trapped in a novel rejected for being too ridiculously over the top. No big ups, no big downs, just exaggerated settings for everything.

Our MC has flower petals falling from his head everywhere but they are mood flowers. The bed is the size of 4 footbal fields and he will wake up in the dead center every morning. There is only one bathroom.

One incredibly hilarious comment from out MC (which spoiler because it's... more>> smutty)
Spoiler

when they have s*x in the real world for the first time, he is like WHAT A NORMAL SIZED PENIS?!!! Because idk I guess he got used to a baby arm sized one????!!!!!

A must read - it's quick and absolutely hilarious. The characters could have been more fleshed out but this was meant to be a parody of cliches and it sticks to those like a rom-com from the early 2000's, so maybe don't take it to seriously. No angst, just fluff. The main story finishes at around chap 48 or so, and the extras aren't too bad either.
