The notorious firearms crime lord Chen Zhang An a.k.a Old Fox was placed under house arrest by the very successor he groomed.

He thus ended his own life with a bullet right in front of Lu Feng, only to open his eyes and realise that he became an obese, myopic, bucktoothed, broke and abandoned loser.

Well that loser is gone; let Uncle Chen teach you what it means to be a real winner in life.

I've finished True Star first and then tried reading this one because I really like a badass MC. Unpopular opinion, but I like True Star better. The first few chapters of this story that has been translated was very good, so I tried reading this novel in Chinese... boii it started to go downhill from the 2nd volume.

... more>>
Spoiler

This is what turns me off about this novel.

The MC is a badass who used to be a professional arm dealer, but then the kid he raised turn back on him, lock him up in a secluded island and forced him to become his personal bed warmer (rape!), now the r*pe part wasn't the thing that stopped me from continuing, what stopped me is the fact that

1. The MC used to be someone who loves a good alcohol, but his new body is a lightweight (one cup and he is out) and there are times that he was being taken advantage off when he is drunk and yet HE KEEPS ON DRINKING AND KEEP ON BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OFF. At some point it even got me thinking 'is he a masochist? Isn't he a supposedly professional arm dealer who supposedly never shows his weakness and always cautious?'

2. In the earlier chapter, it was written how the MC has trauma about people touching him (cause r*pe and all) and never let people touch him. But then suddenly when he was r*pe by another guy (when he was drunk and weeping about his dead brother which latter got his identity spoiled) he was totally fine about it [dfg?] and he was like 'the big Bear is so annoying but at this moment I miss him' and that was the night AFTER he got r*ped, GET OUTTA HERE MC where is your conscience??

3. The supposedly professional arm dealer is scared of a dark, quiet forest which got him into a cold sweat and shouting for the bear that has r*pe him.. Yeah whatever

etc.

Truthfully what made me dropped this story is how inconsistent the personality of the MC is, the fast pace that came out of nowhere and some of the details of what's happening is nada, maybe I am just nitpicking here, but truthfully even there are some parts in True Star I kinda dislike, but then cause it wasn't so bad I tried continuing it and it was worth it, but this.. I am sorry to say but I am dropping it.

[collapse]

At first I wanna give this a 4 star but it really is a 3 star.. <<less

I swear to you, this novel is trolling us. Don't get me wrong- the first 2 volumes weren't bad at all. It was fairly standard rebirth stuff: wanting revenge, settling into a new life, etc; nothing particularly displeasing or off putting. Although it was strange how all of the characters fell in love with the MC at the drop of a hat, I didn't mind. I didn't even mind when we find out the MC seems to like ______ most (though I didn't like it). But the author should have... more>> ended everything there, when the MC had a confirmed relationship with one guy and something sort of ambiguous with everyone else. And while the author's attempt at an explanation for why the MC was reborn left me wanting to bang my head against a desk a few times, I was able to look past it and just hope the story would end.

But nope. Not so lucky. Rather than quitting while she was ahead, or even after everyone else caught up to her, the author proceeds to sprint straight off a cliff of terrible writing and pointless plot developments.
Spoiler

What is with the gym teacher/basketball game arc? Seriously. The guy goes from being a world renowned arms dealer to arguing with a teenager and acting tough in a club full of kids. It was literally painful to read this arc. Even worse, once the middle school level "drama" is resolved, the MC immediately quits being a teacher. Seriously, Author-san?? You couldn't have even pretended the arc was there for more than just to take up space?!

[collapse]
Ugh, so disappointing.

I finally had to stop reading at the end of the 3rd volume when,
Spoiler

right after the MC quits his job as story filler - I mean gym teacher, he decides to go to Africa and start farming or some other useless shit. Wtf?!!! Are we even pretending the MC has a real goal at this point? It would be better to just have him sleep with everyone than to read about a bored middle aged man forcing a bunch of young, influential men to act like children playing in a sandbox.

[collapse]
It literally became unbearable. Idk if the author just gave up on maintaining a real story once she got the harem together or what, but it was really tragic to watch a story with real potential turn into a dry lump of s*** on the roadside. <<less

If you enjoy True Star, I believe you will enjoy this more. MC is carefree, not like Tang Feng that seems to be repressed by the seme. MC is doing what he like and won't compromised.

This is definitely one of my favourite BL novels and it's because of the MC, describing him I would say he is very smart, carefree and cool (and he has his bad-ass moments) like a natural born ruthless ruler... more>>
Spoiler

in a way he was a king/emperor. But I believe he's closer to that of a queen where he tempts you to the point of losing your reason (example; Ivanov, Lu Feng, Ding Sheng sort of, but mostly Ivanov and Lu Feng) but he still rules you and you're unable to change his will or suppress him.

[collapse]

Even the leads can't help but serve and spoil him. Also, his nickname is old fox which I think is perfect for him because the foxes nature is to be sly, unpredictable and tricky. He does not like to be repressed so he's free and does his own things without being repressed by the Seme which is refreshing. The male leads include:

* Lu Feng an 'Iceberg yandere' who is a child at heart and just makes me want to hug him at times. (Aww I forgive you give momma a hug.)

*Another is the over-the-top always makes me laugh with his hilarious ''nauseating'' words Iva or Ivanov 'the bear'. Who somehow makes me think of Tamaki from Ouran HSHC (but more over the top with his silliness and possessiveness) and yes he is just like Charles in True star who is my fave.

*Another is Chen Yang the obedient puppy nephew who is a low-key yandere on the same level as Lu Feng
Spoiler

and yes the dark version of Chen Yang in the special chapter was very dark indeed.

[collapse]

*And then the innocent police dude Ding Sheng was very cute and later on quite funny.''I'll take responsibility so marry me" type of person. (Hahaha)

Spoiler

The time-travel arc was kind of random but in a sense, it was important for Chen An and his character development because he needed a reason to change and prevent past life mistakes which he did.


And I love how he has done random-ass stuff, like becoming a teacher or a farmer (because of boredom) which just adds to his eccentric nature.

I especially love the university arc where Chen An is a sports/ fitness teacher. They were playing basketball Ivanov (posing as a student) had a few female fans cheering for him and he bragged to Chen An saying something cheesy like '' it's my charm, don't feel bad I know your beauty, whether your fat or old I won't abandon you'', ''how about it are you moved to tears?'' and then out of nowhere there were lots of Chen An followers, cheering for him (wanting to be his student which I can relate to with his bad-ass attitude). The majority who were male and more hardcore with their enlarged (stalker) 'seductive' pics of Chen An exercising, giving Ivanov a nosebleed (haha flop Iva). Also, one male student shouted for Chen An to 'marry him' and another asked for him to give them a child (i truly feel the same as that student), which of course Iva didn't react well to, hahaha.

[collapse]

I would definitely recommend this especially if you like true star, this one of the few novels I would definitely re-read. (I also read this five-six days straight

cuz it was soooo good and two-days without sleep) also when Uncle Chen gets drunk you know something juicy is gonna happen hahaha
Spoiler

I love how he does it with Ivanov Only

when he's drunk, like its a mistake.

Damn the reviews, I actually liked the work but because everyone's bashing, it made me reluctant to read for 3 months until yesterday. YES I READ IT ONE GO. Cause I love it!!!

It's so cute how Chen An (MC) gets drunk so easily, a nice buffer for the MLs Hahahaha. Uncle Chen ahh your too charming!

Why I gave it a 4 star is due to one brain hole :

... more>> *spoiler*

There is a 'r*pe victim become lover' tag, you might guess it is Chen An already. Early in his Rebirth, he swore to get ravenge on his successor for his betrayal (locked him up in a house on an island, raping and drugging but not to the extreme since the successor still loves him) but towards the middle, Chen An saw him again and after a few incidents, Boom he said 'why do I feel uncomfortable when he smiles at other people' to ' I might have feeling for him' WHAT IN THE DAVY JONES LOCKER CHEN AN??!?? HE LOCK YOU N r*pe YOU, yes he repent BUT WTF, STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?

Ivannov is much better choice smh, more healthy too ah Chen An <<less

If you want to read a HAREM bl novel like True Star, you will love this one. It is written by the same author too. If you're bothered with the nephew thingy (which I did on the first half of the book) don't be, it's not an in*est just a heads up.

Im completely bewitched by Chen An. He's a well written MC, he's so cunning he knows when to push and pull his lovers heart. He's also the most devoted partner you can have and a formidable enemy if provoked.... more>> I'm willing to be his loyal maid if possible... Though his ML's (yes with s) are yanderes, still I'm a willing servant for Chen An sksksksk. <<less

Excellent! Beautifully written. This is one of my first reviews. I never bothered to really write a review for any other novels, but because this was so good, I just had to. First of all I read other similar novels such as kill the lights or true star. This has a similar vibe but I personally prefer this one over the others. The only down side is that there is so few chapters translated that I had to go read the raws.

Justnfound out about how this ends and wow does this seem like the type of world a transmigrating uke with a system would destroy. In other words, it's shit, I've been vomiting dog blood because of this. I abhor how toxic both the uke and semes are regarding eachother, everything runs on lust, I hate how much of a gary stu the protagonist/uke is.

Not my cup of tea. End of story. Period.

Good novel but unlike some of the others comments, I enjoyed true star better. I had a hard enough time dealing with Tang Feng's three love interests (ice cube, s*upid bear, and psycho) and RoCA has even more men circling around the MC (frosty yandere psycho, hairy russian bear psycho, yandere nephew psycho-in-training, cop, etc.). It was too many for my poor little brain and I found most of them pretty creepy at one point or another. Chen An isn't the best of people (being a criminal and a killer... more>> himself) but he's likable enough, wily and very clever. On top of that he sure does emit some crazy pheromones.

My other reason for liking true star better is simple; I prefer stories set in the entertainment industry rather than those that deal mainly with arms dealing, criminal empires and underworld machinations.

Over all this is a well written story and a good read if you like harems and don't mind some shady (and darker) subject matter. No cute fluffy bunnies in this story. <<less

I totally love this story!

The humor, the story line, the mysteries, the anticipation..... It makes me want more.

In Chen An's path to return to his former glory, he attracts all kind of attention from all kinds of males. The translation haven't progressed far in term of the BL aspect but I'm very much expect it to come with a bang.

I've read the raws, so I can say this: It's a very entertaining read! It had some weak points, sure, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. We have two yandere male leads, one overbearing comedian (think Charles from True Star), and one normal dude who's there to balance things out. They're all so cute, I can't put into words. And I'm weak to yandere boys. The MC is cool-headed and heartless, but changes as a person throughout the story, which I find refreshing. BL fans won't be bored reading this.

I swear, every man in the novel wants to get in bed with Chen (Zhang) An. EVERY SINGLE ONE!!

He's just that hot ;)

That body... those eyes... got all them drooling.

Yeah, basically on his way up after his transmigration/rebirth, the men he comes across (his enemies and those close to him) all seem to fall in his 'devil's curse' that somehow just subtly without Chen An knowing, seduces others.

But what I'm looking for is hot bed scenes (which is likely) and possible a nice hottie that loves him (properly. not psycho.) and cares for him and is actually not all "I'm gonna f*ck you and you got no choice"

[collapse]

Yes, this is all about that... Chen (Zhang) An you evildoer!! ;) <<less

This is my first review, sorry for grammar mistakes. It's nice. The same author as True Star, same technique of cliffhangers. Hur Hur. The writing style and translation quality are also extremely good! If you are bored with whining MC, you will totally fall in love with Chen An's coolheadness. Actually, I think all characters' personalities are similar to True Star, and I mean ALL, to the point of having a sense of deja vu. But you won't be bored reading this, hmm, not much anyway.

Spoiler
  • The nephew is a yandere, nothing is wrong with this of course (It makes the story more delicious, if anything *wink wink*). The extra chapter is creepy, and I feel sorry for him.
  • Not much of illegal acts. He sells firearms only once or twice, I think.
  • I honestly dislike time-travel arc. It's not bad, per se. But I read this story to avoid all time-travel thingly so, (shrug) mah.
  • Sometimes, the story kinda doesn't make sense for me, it's a bit over the top.
  • I am happy for that Interpol! My favorite character, yay!

I'd say like 1, 1.5 🌟. For the translators, and maybe the author's effort, I guess. So, let's get into it...

Ok so, fatphobic much!!!! I don't know if the author thinks fat people just want to kill themselves, or if all fat people should die once and for all. One thing for sure though is; author hates fatness. To the author, it's the worst state a person can be in. The fatphobia is bearable at first; plot and all. But after that I just roll my eyes. MC is literally... more>> repulsed by himself coz he's; fat?? Just lose weight and call it a day bro, you're doing too much!!

What if he'd been reborn black? Now I'm interested in reading a novel by this author about an MC being reborn black!😂 Would the author pull out all black people slurs in the dictionary till finally making the MC pull a Michael Jackson?! I. Need. To. Know!!

Or maybe autistic... Or any other mental illness... The possibilities are endless; really intriguing.

So to my understanding, this is a story about a guy that comes back after death to revenge on his enemies. How? Why, by sleeping with all of them ofcourse!! Who on earth doesn't want to sleep with their opponents?! Fat piece of sh*t they'd be😂😂 (if you don't like this joke then consider not reading this novel)

The face slapping is so deep into the plot that by the time it happens it's not even satisfactory. For the many ML's to stay relevant in the plot; author has to make the MC rely on them one way or the other, either forcefully or peacefully. It in the end makes the MC's achievements and faceslapping and greatness meh. Not that impressive. Like a dog with a great bark and mid bite. Actually not scary at all.

I don't know what the point of this book is. But I've made a few conclusions;

1. f*ck fat people

2. Everyone is going to be attracted to you once you get reborn

3. Foreigners with wierd names

4. Speaks fluent *Insert foreign language here*

5. s*x. Great. A trade, too!👍🏾 <<less

  1. Why did I give this 2? Well first if you can not read the whole book, if you don't know the complete story then surely you will be skeptical to say anything about it. Since I couldn't read the book I don't know the ending I had to give it just 2. Addition to it I have never seen translator lock their chapters, I really don't want to curse my bad luck.

    Now talk about the story, I randomly pick it up to pass my time, first 40+ chapters were so so then I felt things gotten well when MC started to spend time with his harem for a while I get it then he left his harem member to get his another harem member well ok you need to change you taste or something!? Good. Then what ?I could not read the most important part that is who he chose or what exactly happened between MC & ML that I shipped? Yeah you can say that it's pretty wired for me to shipped CZ & LF but I did because MC was portrayed the feelings for this one. Even though he suffered because of LF but he could not deny that he has feelings for LF. So it was getting entertaining then suddenly you can't read the part where things will unfold because of s*upid locks on chapters. Hell ya no comments.

    I want to read " True star" but it yet to translate the whole novel so yeah I'm waiting for it to complete. Then I will go for it. Thank you for bearing with me.

Damn, Chen An is so sly, deviously confident and badass, even I fell for him. Those moments where he shows off his arms-dealing knowledge, wins a high-stakes game of poker, or manipulates people at his will are so hot. Can it be a surprise that he's surrounded by obsessive yanderes? Note that you have to pay for the premium Ch.143 - 205, in which Chen An:

Spoiler
    • Gets with Lu Feng and finds the mole (feel like the story could've ended here tbh)
    • Time travels back to Ancient China with Ding Sheng (very inexplicable, what was the point of this, just to build rapport with DS?)
    • Gives up arms-dealing and becomes university PE teacher (um ok)
    • Assembles his harem basketball team (lol)
    • Goes to Africa to take up farming (happily ever after)
[collapse]

I do think Volumes 1 + 2 were the best, very thrilling and saucy. The rest of the story you can skip without losing much, I believe. It's like a long, rather random epilogue.

4 stars for me

It's stared out well, I really enjoyed it. But I think the plot suddenly go down after volume 2. I can't even finish the novel and had to stop reading because something didn't make sense

... more>>
Spoiler

no, it's not the r*pe scene that I had problem about. I had read the tag before, and I knew what I had to expect from this story. I'm just hoping that Chen An slowly accepting Lu Feng. At first he always talking about how LF make his life miserable in that one year. And then suddenly he become jealous when someone pursuit LF in front of him?? Like TF?? Anyway, I just felt in vol. 2 someone switch the MC or smthng, because I don't feel Chen An in vol. 1 is the Chen an in vol. 2. It's not character development, it's just the author seems to be forcing the story to go on and forget about character design

[collapse]

People kinda say that the story is good. I think it is good if you want to read some yandere MLs (there's 4 people aiming for MC) without thinking much about it. But I just can't bring myself to finish reading this <<less

It was... boring. I couldn’t get into it. I also though the plot was abit ridiculous and disjointed.

most of the things the MC did were illogical and his “change” was too drastic

how could the people close to him aka his nephew not think something was wrong with him?

and why are people falling left, right and centre for the Mc??

the little and expected? face slapping in the distant future can’t even motivate me to finish this

2 stars.

thank you to the translators :)

Translation: 2/5

Plot: 2/5

Characters: 1/5

Thoughts: rebirthed revenge driven weapons dealer with an every male wants him halo. The plot has little explanation, things just happen, but hey maybe it gets clearer down the line? The characters are pretty standard tropes, might be entertaining, but the translation just makes it impossible to understand unfortunately, might be worth looking at the raws. Meh.
