Pleasing Start-Over

Description

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

Qiao Chen was mysteriously transmigrated to the interstellar era. As an adult from his original world, he was forced to grow up all over again in this new one. Now, out of nowhere, he was requested (forced to take on) with the inexplicable task of jumping from world to world to save the high general’s soul.

Throughout his journey, Qiao Chen finds that these worlds and bodies he’s jumping in and out of are his previous reincarnations. Whether or not these all culminate into coincidences or a predetermined destiny, there’s things that must be done while completing the main task:

-Avenge his past life

-Take revenge

-Fulfill past regrets

-Realize those lost dreams

-Make up for past failures

Since God has given him these opportunities to rewrite his fate, why wouldn’t he be pleased to start-over?

More specifically I would personally give this novel overall 4.7

The reason is although the arcs and the story itself is enjoyable I must admitted that it’s a little bit too fast?

... more>>
Spoiler

The ML is falling in love with our MC with no particularly good reason. Yeah love at the first sight is nice but ngl, I really thought that the original ML would actually met with the original MC before and idk probably stalked him and so on and then he fell in love? So that when the MC tries to help the ML it would have been more reasonable for the ML to love him because the ML’s soul remember our MC.

Next, the ending of each arcs. IT WAS SO PROMISING??? I WAS LOOKING FORWARD FOR IT BRUH. Tbh, the reason I read this novel is bcs the mpreg tag... BUT THE NOVEL BARELY SAID ABOUT OUR MC BEING PREGNANT?? Oh “but they didn’t know that Qiao Chen does not even care for them because he is busy pregnant” dude, are you kidding me? Not even gonna let us see the kid? Or even their kids life? TT

[collapse]

It was a good read for someone like me who hates slow-burn and couple who can’t communicate with each other but when it is too smooth sailing it’s gonna be boring asf. I’m not saying the novel is boring but it could have been a bit better than this if the author could spare a little bit of their wisdom and knowledge to bestow us a good ending. <<less

The novel is much better than I expected, but I really get why the rating is rather low.

Pros:

    • The MC is great character. His 'OP'ness was because the System help him a lot. But when his body is weak in the new world, then his body IS weak unless he train or heal his body.
    • The Ending in every arc mostly satisfying. (I think ALL of the mission worlds' ending is Satisfying if I remember it right)
    • MC has Emotional connection to the World mission because The World was his Previous Life World! This one is Rare and I like it!
Cons:

    • ML being Yandere who doesn't have problem forced fast relationship or fast s*xual relationship to MC. Though MC doesn't feel forced, just feel annoyance. ML doesn't touch my or MC's bottom line either, so the cons mostly for other readers than for me.
    • Spoiler

      There's going to be Warning in 5th Arc about a little BD*M. The warning made it sound horrible, but it was not that bad. Seriously, the Translator make it sound like Something HORRIBLE going to happen in this arc. But it was really not that bad. Just a bit awkward in Author's writing. Very light actually? But in this arc, the ML was a bit 'Bully'.... you know what? You can say this arc's ML was rather an Ass. I'm just relieved nothing in this chapter touch my Bottom line. So it was bearable. MC is Badass though.

      [collapse]
    • Few Plot Holes.
      Spoiler

      1st, No explanation of why vortex happen in MC's first life that took his soul and made him rebirth in new life.
      2nd, No explanation of ML's Daddy Kink. Seriously, WE ALL (Readers) THOUGHT MAYBE

      something happen in the past that made ML like the Idea of Taking care of MC like a Dad. But Nothing! The author could just write "Nothing ever happen to ML, he just happen to into this Kink, " but not even simple explanation written!! 3rd, why the System still attached into MC's mind even when no mechanic attached to his body???

      [collapse]
Anyway, the novel wasn't bad. The plot in every arc is pretty good, and the endings is all good. I Enjoyed it and Love this novel enough. It's definitely Far from Perfect, but still quite satisfying. Why I gave it 5 stars? Because I don't feel bad or uneasy toward this novel. It was pretty good novel for me. I will say it was almost 8 point out of 10. ALMOST

Lately I'm too lazy to write reviews but this one made me do it.

I rated 5⭐ because I don't think this novel deserve such low rating. Tho I personally think this is 4 stars.

Firstly, the author's 'way of writing' is good because she sometimes express some deep feelings thru writing. Though there are plenty of times that I cringe but it ain't the worst I read. Yes there are some plot holes and some really really bad contexts. But overall it was entertaining.

MC is cute and scheming. He's OP but... more>> not to the point where the story became boring because he always gets what he wanted.

I hate ML. I just can't seem to like him despite his redeeming personality on the later arcs. I do think this is the author's fault for spicing things up a bit but went a complete disaster. Though the author did change it after that certain arc 🥲 But I must say, stop romanticizing r*pe.

Do I still recommend this? Yeah, it's entertaining. And also this have a great translation as well, so kudos to the translator! <<less

As always, giving an extra one star for the low rating.

For me this is 4 star story for a no-brainer novel. Also, currently my second favourite novel from this author, Tangerine Boat.

It wasn't a perfect novel, but a good one for passing the time. Other reviewers already mentioned the good sides and bad sides of this novel. Some will find this boring, while some others not. I myslef find this novel very entertaining. Again, this is a no-brainer novel for me and it really does. There are no suspenses and... more>> everything is going well for the MC.

Spoiler

Well, like others QT novel from tangerine boat, I hope that laoshi could actually spend more time to write chapters telling the MC and ML's relationships in the real world.

[collapse]

Do I recommend this novel? For a standard QT with no-brainer plot to pass the time, yes :) <<less

The backstories needs to be buried 100 ft below, too sad especially for the MC's past lives they hurt af. Overall it was very satisfactory, tho this might not a be cup of tea for others but if you give up all the misgivings and morals its great.
Spoiler

But not the ML's character ahahhahahahaa

i honestly enjoyed reading this, bc I like op protagonists and love interests who are devoted to their partners. I also liked that although theres technically mpreg, we never see it happening nor do we meet the children it produces. The translation was well done, and the translator included content warnings at the beginnings of chapters, which I really appreciate. However, the face slapping plotlines were really tame, and the enemies never had any chance to bite back. Some of the s*x scenes were pretty dub-con, bordering on non-con. The... more>> background characters were kinda one note, and the story ending was a little rushed. Also, as other reviewers have commented, the ML seems to be obsessed with making MC call him dad. Weird. Maybe its just a joke that the author put in that fell flat lol. <<less

Look, if this was only a novel with a really simple plot where there's just face-slapping, I wouldn't really mind.

BUT

The ML, as with so many others, is the real problem. And I don't know why it doesn't say it in the tags but even the translator in the Table of content warns us that in the first 4 arcs there's dub-con and in the 5th and 6th are depiction of r*pe. I think the only arc without some kind of dub-con is the 7th, with the zombies.

In the others, every... more>> first time, the ML always come across as r*pey. And we know as readers that MC doesnt actually have a problem sleeping with him or that wants it but the ML doesn't.I skipped the 5th nor the 6th arx because even the translator recommend it, so I don't know how bad they were.

I think the most outstanding part of this was the translator work, they did a great job ♡ <<less

I like this novel, some people say that MC is way too easy or such other things but I disagree author mentioned that it took over 15 years for MC fall in love with ML and MC is apathetic remember so he doesn't care much about something thus the fast paced s*x life of MC and ml. Some say after that ML defends or look after MC, he is moved of course he is moved because MC is orphan for two lifetimes emotions such as love are hard to come... more>> by for him, just because he is moved doesn't mean he is in love.

Not the best I've ever read, but still a pretty fun, brainless one to read.

Also, I get why people call it dub-con or non-con (I also agree with them), but Arc 3 is soooo not that. I mean MC literally played a song called "Passionate Love" in front of ML. When it was just the two of them. At night. In MC's bedroom.

If that's not flirting I don't know what is.

Not fantastic but not horrible either. Read it if you're looking for some quick and slick romance with a healthy serving of face-slapping. If you're looking for The Best QT BL Web Novel of All Time, then you'll probably be disappointed.

This story has been the fastest one I read so far. I didn't even noticed it was the end until I could no longer see the "next" button, and also because of the translator's notes. I wasn't able to savor the story, but it made me realize that life is short, we should live it to its fullest.

If you patiently read it, you'll realize the reason for the first arc's ML to act like 'that'.

I deeply regret reading it in a fast pace. This story has a piece of my... more>> heart, now.

I also understood that true love doesn't end in just one life. If you truly wish for that person's mere existence, even all throughout all lives you live in, then that is the purest and truest (most true) love.

I have so much I want to say but my heart is brimming with emotions right now since I literally just finished it and is now writing a review.

Five stars to this. Kudos to the author and translator.

All the elements of a story that I could ask for was all in here, all that it needs now are the readers. Please, take the time to read it. If you didn't like it, then you didn't like it, I can't do anything about that. But for those who actually enjoyed it, we're on the same boat.

All that I can say is that, the portrayal of love that stayed the same no matter how many times they parted breached through my heart.

I experienced several emotions while reading this. I felt like I was a part of them as well. And I hope that you did too.

Have a pleasant day, everyone. <<less

There is very little character development and the arcs themselves are boring. You can see the ending of each arc from a mile away, which is fine but it just feels bleh.

I started skipping through the arc 4 Crossing Over Against a Transmigrator. MC is so OP the author doesn't even want to write how he outperforms the shou rival. One minute MC arrives then 5 chapters later he has 6 different businesses out competing the shou rival. I feel like I'm reading the sparknotes of this novel. The writing... more>> just gets worse and less detailed as the arcs continue.

I think we can all agree the ML does a lot of dubcon and its portrayed as romantic. Its very typical but you learn nothing about the ML so you can't even pretend to care about him. <<less

Just wanted to balance out some of the reviews. This novel isn't a literary masterpiece and never tried to be. If you take Pleasing Start Over at face value, it is your OP MC QT with face-slapping. I don't read these things to watch the MC suffer through terrible situations and clever plots only to succeed after taking great losses and having major character development along the way. I read these stories specifically for OP MCs who have MLs they can rely on and who cheerfully face-slap villains who are... more>> unrealistically evil and easy to hate.

Without a doubt, Qiao Chen is one of the most OP MCs I've seen, even in this genre of novels, but I actually love that since there's no need to pretend the MC is doing something dangerous/risking his life. The premise requires him to have the highest chance of success possible, so it makes that things go well. Does his System make logical sense? No, not really. It didn't get brought up enough to bother me, but this is probably the area I most disliked.

In terms of the romance, as with many in this genre, don't expect the relationship to be the star of the show. Their relationship is always featured prominently, but the main point is MC face-slapping people to get revenge for his past lives. Also, things will move quite fast--it's eight different transmigrations in about 100 chapters, so...

In depth details and spoilers below:

Spoiler

MC: I actually really like Qiao Chen as an MC! He's decently clever and independent in his schemes but knows when to cooperate with others/ML to achieve his goals. I also think he does have some character development in that he goes from a very apathetic person to someone who develops real sentiments and emotions as he moves through his lives. Don't expect anything major, because again, fast paced story. Still, it's interesting to read his reactions as he remembers his past lives and to see how he becomes increasingly invested in ML as the story progresses.

ML: As with many of these types of QTs, the ML doesn't have much character development although I do think he's very consistent through the different lives so it makes sense that every character is part of one original soul.

System: System has no personality and is really just there to be illogically OP. There is no cute MC/System banter here.

[collapse]

If you're curious what the arcs and roles are:

Spoiler

Arc 1: Modern day - swapped at birth/oppressed in real family shou x Powerful CEO gong

Arc 2: Interstellar, ghers - jilted lover mech engineer shou x Special ops leader gong

Arc 3: Interstellar, music has special powers, ghers - no longer a waste musician shou x Emperor's brother/leader of the kingdom's FBI gong

Arc 4: Ancient China - Unloved eldest son and painter shou x Famous general/candidate for emperor gong

Arc 5: Interstellar, abilities, ghers - Weak military cadet shou x Leader of elite military force gong

Arc 6: Modern day, entertainment - Failing actor/scriptwriter shou x Director/entertainment company CEO gong

It's okay.

At first I thought the story was pretty bad. The MC's system is super OP, even including some mind influencing abilities, and convenient stock market manipulation. The MC really doesn't have to put much effort into anything.

Additionally, the ML is a carbon-copy obsessed CEO who falls in love instantly (and the MC and ML fall in bed just as fast). But at the end of the first arc, there are a few things revealed:

... more>>
Spoiler

The system that the government gave the MC had a "Good Will and Intimacy pack, " which functioned to stimulate the soul of the ML to want to be closer to the MC, which explains the insta-love from the first arc. The MC is very upset by this, and turns it off for the second world.

So, y'know, now it takes a whole chapter for the ML to fall in love, instead of just half a chapter, lol.

[collapse]

I have mixed feelings about the MC's backstory:

Spoiler

Where the MC discovers that all the worlds that he is transmigrating to and fixing are his past lives. On the one hand, it does give the MC more reason to be invested in what happens in each world. It also makes it so that the MC isn't erasing the "original" of each world, which has always seemed a bit sketchy in many transmigration stories.

But on the other hand, the MC's current personality does not seem to match the "originals" from each world at all. Maybe that doesn't matter since they are past lives, but it really seems out of sync. The current MC is very calm and collected, whereas the original from the first arc was meek and easily fooled, while in the second arc the MC was obsessively in love and a bit unstable, etc. Even without cheats, the current MC doesn't seem like the type who would end up as badly off as his past lives.

[collapse]

In the end, the story has some interesting points. I like several of the world settings that the MC transmigrates to.
Spoiler

Like the third world where music is used to increase spiritual power, and even for combat.

[collapse]
But the freshness stops there. The romance is nothing exciting (forceful ML, no-but-yes MC), the villains are complete canon fodder, the MC is conveniently a genius prodigy at whatever skill he needs in that particular world. Standard quick transmigration BL stuff really. So read it if you are in the mood for that, but don't expect anything special. <<less

The novel is about a MC who has a pretty monotonous life and is given a mission to go to many worlds to save someone, then he realizes that everyone of those worlds are his previous life's where he was miserable. So the point is to change all of his pasts lifes. The story is interesting, though the system is very omnipotent, but the story just hooked me till the end.

The romance is very lovely the ML respects the MC, and vice versa. Also the ML has similar traits in... more>> every world, which truly felt like 1 v 1. There are not crazy revenges or killings for vengeance. So it was a pretty nice read, and the ending was sastifactory. <<less

I didn't finish the entire novel, but I stopped reading this novel in the later arcs. I feel like the ML lacks respect for MC's choices. I have read some novels with overbearing MLs and I can handle it to a certain extent, but I stopped reading this one, because it gives me an icky feeling.
