Based on the description of this story. I had expected more than just fluff, cutesy romance, especially with the line "Win the game and become the [King], and you can obtain whatever it is you desire."

This made me expect that MC will face all sorts of problems & trials along the way.

But I'm utterly disappointed how this turned out. This story literally have 0 challenges for MC, he doesn't need to do anything, he doesn't even need to walk. He always have an OP character settings. ML just instantly... more>> falls in love with & does every single thing for him.

There's legit no game in here. I don't even know there's any purpose for that or the author just plainly forgot about it.

The same pattern of MC transmigrating, to ML finding him, then ML instantly falls in love & solves everything for him, then happy ending is getting very boring real fast in here.

I don't know if things will change in the future chapters, but I'm not very positive about it, especially with MC maxing his cheat settings, along with the thickest plot armor. <<less

It's a no challenge, just MC being pampered type of story.

  • MC get transported into new world
  • Find out the current body was being mistreated/have no background/ blank state character
  • Meet ML who is OP
  • All problem solved, smooth sail
  • all happened in the early part of the arc
Which is nice and all, but it just makes you wonder why the author bother to create "Win the game and become the [King], and you can obtain whatever it is you desire.” backstory. There's no game here. There's no struggle. The MC is basically playing... more>> a game with max cheat loaded.

It's a great story for those who want all fluff story, I guess. <<less

This is a super fluffy, super safe romance. The MC (shou) is calm and hard-working. The ML is super possessive but in a cute pet-puppy, docile sort of a way. There are only 4 (or maybe 5, don't really remember so well) arcs and each arc has been fleshed out quiet appropriately.

Highly recommended especially to those readers who have become weary of scummy/ slag lovers, abusive/ so-cold-not-romantic and unsafe novels.

This is just one of those novels that you can't find anything very explicitly wrong about, but still can't bring yourself to finish.

Many of the other reviews have summarized why quite well (I feel hy-d-ra in particular articulated my feelings about The King's Game pretty well) so I won't go into too much detail. I will, however, list a few of this novel's greatest misses:

  • MC and ML has zero (0) personality. Like seriously. I could not get attached to either of them what-so-ever, and I'm the type of reader that latches on to the protagonist in the span of five chapters.
  • The ML is so verbally reticent that at one point I wondered if he had autism or something. I wouldn't have minded if he did, but it was so god damn weird for him to be speaking full sentences in the first couple of chapters to being monosyllabic and chirping (yes, I'm 100% serious. At one point MC and ML communicate solely by chirping at each other) as soon as he met the MC.
  • The whole "MC is our treasure and we must protect him" sh*t just got old. Like it was cute the first couple of times, but you can't keep pulling out the same trick over and over again. Especially in new world. Like, if what's going to happen in the old world is going to happen in the new world, then what even is the point of progressing the story? It's essentially just repeating itself over and over again.
  • Listen, I am the last person to complain about translation quality. I am fully aware that translators are doing this for free and completely out of their goodwill, and I respect that they are taking their own time to translate for us. So don't take what I say as criticism -- rather, I am stating this merely so that future readers will be prepared: the translation gets a little confusing and disjointed after the first couple of chapters. I'm pretty sure that the translator is using MTL, and unfortunately I don't think they have an editor. It's not bad enough that the story is incomprehensible, but it did lead to much confusion on my part.
However, in saying all this, the novel wasn't terrible. The beginning was pretty interesting, and I have definitely seen worse. But it isn't good enough to make me keep reading, and in all honestly, I think... more>> that speaks volumes to what this novel is truly like. 2.5/5 stars. <<less

Ok, so I forgot to give a review once I finished TKG but I just remembered. Been here from the start by the way.

I personally really enjoyed the story, it was fluffy and cute asf. Gu Huai is really OP and goes through basically no troubles.

I prefer OP characters and I'm not fond of too much action done in a fluffy story so this is perfect for me.

I preferred the spin off, I'm Not A Human which is based off of he first arc of TKG since it went into... more>> detail. But this is also really good!

All in all, don't like OP characters, no struggles for the MC and loving, possessive ML? You're better off leaving. <<less

I rarely write a reviews for novels that I have read but this novel bothered me so much. I quite like it but not so much. First of all, they is a lot of things that aren't explained, the author seemed to use the same technique to build up his story over and over and over again. The ML seemed to fall for the MC without logical reason. At least make it seem real. And the ML has no character development, because he seems like any other character in the... more>> story. He doesn't talk much. Doesn't really have any other thoughts then "I must give him everything" " He likes flowers". The ML barely has any emotion feelings because the way he expresses his feelings to the MC is plain, just like a robot.

The MC is OP, they is no step backs or hardships. He basically gets everything handed to him. The minute the mob characters around see him for the first time they start to love and want to protect him like their own child which really doesn't make sense, I mean like why?

I hope the next few arcs aren't the same as the two I just read, because that would be boring. <<less

This novel is damn boring. I read I'm not human first which is a spin-off based on the first world and I loved it. But this novel.... no... just no.

I would recommend that you read the last 3 chapters first and then start reading the novel. Otherwise, all the chirps and chu-chu and nonsensical things might make you go to sleep. I did. This story put me to sleep while reading which happens very rarely to me.

There are only 5 worlds and the reason is obvious. The author has nothing... more>> new to write. In all the worlds, the MC is the beloved treasure of his family, he is OP, ML falls for him instantly. Everything repeats. Only the settings change a bit. There are hardly any dialogues in the story. It's just so one dimensional. Ugh.

A very bland read. If you want pure fluff with no story and logic, go ahead. <<less

I have finished reading all 134 chapters just now, so let me give my own opinion on this novel.

Gu Huai is getting selected to partake in the "King's Game". He has to visit 5 worlds and complete his task in each world in order to become King. But until the last three chapters, we won't know anything about the original setting, the meaning of "King" or why those groups and the ML are so attracted to MC.

First of all, there is a pretty good reason as to why he is... more>> so treasured. And this reason is plausible, if you read the last three chapters.

There are tasks in each world, but unlike common QT novel, our Ah Huai won't receive any memories, world informations or "Your task is XY". He has to find out everything by himself.

Gu Huai is also not weak. Yes, he is treasured, protected and spoiled by his family in each world, but that doesn't mean he is a spoilt brat or a weakling.

If you are searching for a QT novel with action, drama and dog blood, let me tell you: This is not what you're searching for. In this novel, your teeth will rot from all the fluff. You'll get diabetes and will suffer from excessive squealing from all that cuteness!

And those who, like me, are weak to sad moments, you will cry! Literally! Especially at the end of the arcs. Not because something horrible happens, don't worry.

Spoiler

Ah Huai will fall asleep. And his family and ChuChu will wait for him to wake up again. Or accompany him to sleep.. He won't die or disappear, just his body will fall asleep when his task time ends and he leaves the world.

[collapse]

I have read this novel about 3 or 4 times. And I still like it, this is also the reason for those 5 stars. You don't have to think all that much while reading this novel, you only have to watch Ah Huai being loved and treasured. I absolutely don't regret reading this novel.

That's why, let me give a thank you to the translator (s), editors and of course to the author for this gem of a novel. <<less

This is a series I've read where the spin-off is better than its original source. In fact, the spin-off can be read alone without this one at all.

First of all, King's Game misleaded me due to its title and sypnosis. From what I assume, it would be a danmei with serious game mechanics in a QT concept. Unfortunately, the title itself, especially the word 'game' is actually just a word analogy of a 'child's play'.

Why? Because in every arc so far, MC never faced serious setbacks thanks to his every... more>> current world's identity, equivalent to a king.

Yes, this isn't a story about a man in a game, climbing up to get a King's role. It's about keeping the position he got from the very start of this so-called game, and to unveil the reason why he was chosen.

A reason which I'm not really interested to know, even by now because there's really no sense of direction I'm getting from the writing. The plot points are revealed out of place for me, like how the author introduces the possibility of an antagonist amidst the series of fluff I've just read. It gives me a sense of loss. In short, not very memorable.

It's just a bland danmei for reading to kill time. I reccommend it if you want to feel good, after all, this series is actually just fluff, with all the pampering and love the MC gets, who wouldn't get their hearts melted from the interactions? It's what made me keep reading, but honestly this novel could have been so better. <<less

[collapse]

Spoiler

... How to start this hm... The MC is THE only King here or should I say the ORIGINAL king, the Creator of all worlds This is what describe okay so I'm not exaggerating it!! And btw the MC Don't remember anything here okay!!

[collapse]

There is indeed other players but..

Spoiler

ML suppress all of them with the other creations of MC (when he was king) since they don't want a new king it was explained in the latter chapters.. till eventually a player indeed retarlited but eventually failed

[collapse]

Spoiler

The side charcters which the MC refers to as family are his creation when he was king.. they were created to accompany him so he doesn't feel to lonely the ML is also created by him.. I forgot the rest but I remember that they are task to watch over the worlds or something.

[collapse]

Ahh and the world where MC was found and the story about that world is so Adorable and cute ahhh!! I can't describe their adorableness anymore!!

Oh and the FLOWERS THE FLOWERS AH!!! LOVEEEEE IT 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I would definitely re-read this.

gahh~ its been so long since I read this TT^TT

If you are searching for a QT novel with action, drama and dog blood, let me tell you or Weak to strong then This is not what you're searching for. In this novel, your teeth will rot from all the fluff. You'll get diabetes and will suffer from excessive squealing from all that cuteness! (Like literally just remembering it would make me wanna smile for days!)

And those who, who are like me, who are weak to sad moments, you will cry! Literally! Especially at the end of the arcs. Not because something horrible happens, but because ahh I can't sayy anymore!!

Hmm.. anywaaay I don't know what to comment anymore... Ah.. I just recommend this novel lots of fluff cute characters and especially those cuties of a zerg ahhh my heart!! And the side charcters!!! Ahhh~~ love love love it! Overall its 5 stars for me!

just wanted to get this out.

I feel like the setting (8/10) and ML (3/10) are the only things that author put any thought into. They are the only things that I have any impression of at all. Setting is 8/10 because they're actually pretty good but not amazing. ML is about as equal to that girl in the harem books who is at best "naive" and at worst s*upid. (Not because he is s*upid but because he is almost worthless.) MC and every other character, in my mind are the... more>> same as ordinary printer paper. Blank. MC has no qualities at all other than 'pure' and 'naive'. All other things I just have no impression of but "buy a ball as gift". You can replace MC with anything and it's practically the same.

Here's the plot with MC replaced with a chair:

Ordinary chair gets worshipped by a group of people for no reason but 'a feeling'. The best person in that group of people loves the chair. The chair and the best person get married. The End. Repeat for every arc.

And if you're gonna make him 'OP' please make a real reason for it. MC's not 'OP' but sheltered, spoiled, and worshipped. Someone 'OP' would be powerful by their own hands. At least give MC one redeeming quality before you make everyone love him, because personally I find him boring. <<less

I read a lot of qt books and this is one of my favorites. Granted, I have a lot of favorites but, this is seriously really good! I recommend this book to everyone. There's different world's and the the MC isn't completely dense when it comes to love which makes me so happy.

So I actually read this a long time ago and I feel so proud about the reviews having high ratings.

The description, the introduction, the way the author set up the characters. Some might say they may be too dimensional ... more>>
Spoiler

for being goo kind to our mc

[collapse]
but that's the reason why this one was made. The story made itself like that in order to have progress.

I love this types of arcs without blood dog drama, it's fluffy, cute, it has the serenety and everythign you could ask for a peaceful novel.

Im not gonna spoil anything.

I rate this full 5 STARS

Legit tags : Transmigration, Fluffy, 1v1, no r*pe, no blooddog drama, no annoying side characters. <<less

Not in any order I can't remember the proper order of it

  1. Interstellar: with zergs and all... MC and ML were this was by far the cutest arc
  2. Cultivation: spirits, demons and cultivators
  3. Normal: MC's in the mafia, ML's a childhood friend
  4. Normal/ Supernatural: MC's like a model or actor with hidden genes, ML's a dragon or something
  5. Extinction? more like there's robots, elf and the like no humans other than MC

I finally made an account here to write this review (yeah tldr I love this series a lot).

Read this if you:

    1. Love a perfect happy ending (happy together forever)
    2. Likes an OP cheat character
    3. In need of an easy fluff reading because you feel hollow after just completing a series/ tired from reading all kinds of tragedy, drama tag series
    4. Just want a straightforward-breezy no drama reading but doesn't make you feel brain dead
ML is the typical perfect OP character. MC is the center of that OPness in my opinion. Everything revolves around MC. The amount of cheat that MC got as soon as he's transmigrated are astounding because of ML and the army of MC's "family members"

Honestly, as someone that can't stand non happy ending series (to each of their own, right? :D), and never got bored of OP characters, I really love this series!

The only downside that I personally think are definitely the misleading titles, there's not that many world unlike others series (but then, each world seems to take about 30 ch or so), and there's no *cough* mature scenes lol.

This has got to be one of the most poorly explained and confusing QT novels I've ever read. It doesn't even matter what the setting is because everything is just pure nonsense. Not that you'll understand the setting anyways... I don't know if it's because the translation is poor or the writing is lackluster. Having read the author's other works, it's probably a mix of both.

I really have to dispute any of the reviews that say that ML is "smart." Smart in what way, exactly? The guy has the intelligence... more>> of a snail and the emotional aptitude of a rock. f*ckin' grown ass man going chirp chirp, what the f*ck.

I had to really struggle to read this because every time I tried to read a chapter, it was like my brain turned into a leaky sponge. Do yourself a favor and read any other QT novel because this one is just absolute garbage. <<less

Giving this a 5 star because of the first arc, as for the rest of the arcs it's still good to read if you like fluffy stories and worry free.

I'm a bit tired reading face slapping, plotting, shaming, revenge driven stories all the time, so this novel is a fresh air for me when I'm tired reading those novels.

If you like reading a novel where the MC is pampered, loved by everyone this is a must read, it's also nice knowing the ML is the same person and even some... more>> of the side characters seems to be there in next arcs.

For the first arc, they got separate story and it's absolutely fantastic, I'd recommend to read that one too! <<less

Basically, this is everything of what you'd expect a fluffy story would be.

There are other opinions on other reviews but honestly, they must've overlooked the Easy-going tag~ If you're looking for mindless cute and fluffy bl then this is for you! It would most likely focus on the doting romance during the adventure. Although the title is misleading, thinking that it would be hot-blooded/ injected with chicken blood kinda story with some power action (only a little bit tho) but, double-check the tags and expect to be fed an easy... more>> going, op, doting story full of fluff and the entire love of the world.

I do prefer the spin-off which is a great stand-alone in itself. I did start reading it first and I whole heartedly recommend giving it a try.

That's just my opinion though~~

(●´з`) ♡ note: treat it as a light read <<less
