Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Description

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

As an outstanding figure in the grim reaper industry, there were no souls under the heavens that Lu Xu could not collect.

One day, he was given an undercover mission to investigate the mystery of how Film Emperor Ji Xiunian managed to escape death so many times. Seeing that the Film Emperor was going to be a mentor on an idol survival show, Lu Xu had a flash of inspiration and signed up as a contestant.

He originally planned on taking this person away after completing his investigation. However, he accidentally ended up debuting in center position.

At the age of five, Ji Xiunian was prophesied to remain lonely his entire life. The people around him were either dead or grievously hurt.

He expected to be alone his entire life and never imagined there would be an exception—not only did his luck take a turn after meeting Lu Xu, the demons and ghosts by his side had dispersed.

Ji Xiunian had never dated in the ten years since he debuted. The only scandal he had was regarding Lu Xu.

Fans thought this was just a tactic to boost a newbie’s popularity. They never imagined that the cold Film Emperor himself would come out to clarify—it’s not a scandal, he’s my destiny.

*Center position = the one who gets the most lines, center dance positions, and screen time in an idol group

This novel was very cute but I do think it began to drag in the middle and the ending was pretty anticlimactic. While I do like the main couple I personally found the side characters to be the best part of this novel.

Quite good, I had a fun time reading this. A novel with some serious topics on death every now and then but the novel isn't heavy at all.

The entertainment circle/ showbiz thing really isn't important, it's just a setting, doesn't really take up a lot of space in the novel. Fluffy romance, isn't the best, but it's really cute. The whole death god was surprisingly fun to read. A fresh setting and also nice to read. The characters are pretty well-written, I think. I do have to say though, it... more>> doesn't delve deep into things, so it might seem a bit shallow and it feels a bit unfinished, especially with the somewhat sloppy ending.

Besides that, I think it does well on the topic of death. It keeps "death" throughout the story, but the novel is really light, even with a lot of mentions of death. The topic of death is really nice to read about, especially the author's view of death and life, but I wish they'd had gone deeper into the topic instead of keeping the story a lighter tone. I guess the author wanted to keep it light though, so yeah.

I'd recommend this if you like fluffy and light romances. Sorry for the bad English and have a nice day. <<less

Honestly, I don't have any complaints with this story. The flow is just right and stable.

The progress of MC and ML relationship is also gradual, it's not rushed. I mean it took ML 100 ch to admit to himself that he likes MC, that's half of the book.

If you want a quality read, I can safely recommend this story (≧∇≦) /

very enjoyable read. ML is sensible and sweet and inadvertently adopts MC's super cute fat fluffy cat. The idol show part of the novel is fun to read and introduces you to a lot of interesting and lovable (and not so lovable) characters. MC is a workaholic so it's equal parts infuriating and fun to see how he and ML get closer over the course of the story.

novel talks a bit about mature themes as well and puts its own tasteful spin on things. All in all a really nice... more>> and adorable novel. <<less

Currently MTL-ing this and enjoying it. It's the very Asian sensible and business-like view of death (not too much bureaucracy here). Main and side characters are being developed nicely so far. The pet cat is adorable, mysterious, and very intelligent. The idol part is just the setting so expect more of behind-the-scene work from that end. Good progression so far.

Spoiler

Hurry up and s*x it up guys!

Recommend reading the raws or translated ver. -- some mtl sites are really.. unreadable

It's fun! Although I don't care much for the romance, I felt like the author kind of understood that and didn't push it in my face. Which I really appreciate. This novel is more about the paranormal/supernatural than the idol/entertainment aspect. So don't look too hard at how they played really fast and loose with some of the elements there.

One of the thing that kind of threw me off and then kept me feeling :S was just... more>> how often they visit the mentor's room. Like I know it's fiction so its fine, but when the power dynamic was just never acknowledged it was kinda.. it weirded me out abit.

It's fine though cause I did enjoy the plot. It was fun, lots of characters who deserve alot of face slaps! Ended pretty abruptly but completely. Kind of wish there were extras.. even though I don't know what else the extra could be about. The latter cases are more interesting, since it starts exploring how this 'god of death' element can be played in a story... still... it's a fine novel, pretty complete story. If you're down for a good time without much strings attached, it's a good read. Recommend for the experience (a pleasant time) <<less

No spoilers, but im glad I chose to read this Novel right after the revelation chapter already translated! No Suspense and more Curiosity!

I was totally 'blind' when started reading this novel aka get no Spoilers and chose to jump anyway. And I'm glad I get no disappointment so far!

MC being Calm and Charming Cool. He seems being aloof sometimes, but mostly just simply friendly to everyone who are good or would learn for the better.

He doesn't look down on human or anything. He's seriously good!!! But our MC is No... more>> Saint!

While ML are very good, friendly, and caring.

I'm serious, the story so far is very Enjoyable!

And there's cute Cat too!!! ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!

I honesty wonder how the story would end... Because MC's real job and this new job.... Hmmm

Pray I won't need to low the stars I already gave. Pray for satisfactory ending! 🙏🙏🙏 <<less

THERE ARE NO WORDS ONLY HAPPINESS

Ahhh this was so fluffy!! I loved both MC and ML. Lu Xu is very passive and there's only a small fraction of scenes where he properly showed emotions ... more>>
Spoiler

When Xie An was reported for housing a stowaway, when people try to extend their life and subverting their destiny of death, and when he started to fall in love with Ji Xunian

and ML is soft-hearted underneath that cool exterior.

Pacing was good.
Spoiler

By chapter 100, JXN finds out about LX being a Grim Reaper and subsequently becomes one himself and they become official before chapter 150, I think?

The thing I personally disliked
Spoiler

was when they started to call each other "Baby". I had to stop multiple times due to cringe, like there's fluff and there's that... Thing.

I. LOOOOOOOVVVEEE IT. Spoilers alert.

INTERESTHING PLOT, GOOD ML AND MC CHARACTERS! GOOD SIDE CHARACTERS!

AND I really like the face slapping in this novel... It is not because MC trying to push down/fight the bad guy rather the bad guy is the one who faced the consequences of his own actions for trying to be a villain by antagonising MC. I like his ending at the end.

I also like the bad guy in the normal world (reality) can have redemption once he is in underworld (bcs he died) as in the... more>> bad guy changed and try to be better.

Honestly it quite hard for me to call them as "villain" cause they are not really that bad compare to other novel "villain" so I just call them a "bad" guy instead. <<less

This story is really fun to read. Eveything started in a fun way but it ended abruptly. It has an uncompleted story line due to this abrupt ending.

At chapter 190+ the story is getting hotter, if I don't know that the story will be end at chapter 199 I would think that this is the climax part.

Although I didn't progress much, but the whole premise of mixing ghosts and modern world, if it's close to this type of story-telling, I will certainly like. The MC falls into category that I certainly appreciate, it's fun to watch him. The only thing I wonder how this story will progress later, after all we start off in entertainment and then there's 200 chapters in this novel. I hope it has twists and turns.

On the contrary the whole "mystery" behind ML can be easily solved, since such things are usually... more>> pretty predictable, when MC and ML come as two different entities, one is supposedly human and the other is a grim reaper, then one of this realms should bend to accomodate the other character for the promised happy ending and "lived happily ever after" to become reality, and this means that: a) either ML has a secret behind his birth and can be transformed to get closer to MC; or b) MC with some means has to come back as a human. There is also c) outside assistance with some supernatural means.

So far I have accumulated positive feelings for it, will come back after progressing in reading to add or reduce enthusiasm :) <<less
