The Rebirth Waste Strikes Back

Description

“Master, the people from the Zhuang family have come to cancel the engagement.”

“My fiancé whose beauty was said to be capable of causing the downfall of a city, finally decided to throw me away?”

“I think so.”

“I want to see this legendary beauty, and confirm whether this bastard is really great as people say, to have no flaws in all 360 degrees, a picturesque appearance however you look at him; does he need me to help him open the corner of his eyes (Epicanthoplasty) or reshape his chin (Genioplasty)?”

“Actually, he didn’t come.”

“He didn’t? He didn’t even come to cancel the engagement? What a wicked b*tch.”

“He definitely will get karma.”

His shamelessness and eloquence astonished me. I mean, I already have my fair share of shameless MCs, There's Grisia from Legend of Sun Knight, but Grisia is much more restrained because of his role hence he did not speak out his shameless monologue much (although, it kinda a waste of talent in eloquence and shamelessness). There's also Ye Xiu from The King's Avatar, but his temper prevented him to truly exuded a top-notch shamelessness where shame is not even a word but an air. There's also Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster... more>> of Demonic Cultivation (A.k.a Founder of Diabolism), but even Wuxian is also more elegant in exuding it. And many others...

This? This freaking executed shamelessness with an eloquence of an imperial empress, a shamelessness of a professional prostitute, the narcissism of a spoiled princess, an ego as big as the sun, confidence as smooth as the air. f*cking brilliant! At the very least, those other shameless guys had some conscience to admit there are other guys that's more handsome than they are (Grisia and WWX), but Qi Shaorong, our MC in this novel, kept boosting his own beauty even in front of the most sought-after man in the whole kingdom.

5 stars for his personality and eloquence alone. <<less

I'm halfway through the novel now, at chapter 101, and I'm not sure if I'll continue reading it. This novel is mostly about romance. It's funny, MC is smart, sassy and likeable. If it was just this, even based on the fact that there's hardly any focus on cultivation or business elements, then I could still give the novel 4.5 stars.

BUT, I've a HUGE problem with ML. The author intended for him to be single-mindedly devoted to MC, which is great and all, except for the fact that even 100... more>> chapters in, when ML already realizes how great MC is and has started to chase him, he's never properly apologized for his mistakes, arrogant assumptions and blatant dismissal of MC since the very start.

First, he has some vague idea about the cancellation of their engagement (irresponsible), gives a disinterested explanation about it (indifferent), then when he finds out MC is the great doctor he's in love with and amazingly talented, he forces him into reengagement (selfish, thinks he's above everyone).

He forcefully gets MC to be his fiance once more through some dubious marriage contract that he can't withdraw. If this is supposed to be romantic, I really can't see it! MC is an outcast who had to find other people discarded by their families just like him, to build the life that he has now. Seems to me like ML is no different from MC's hypocritical family. <<less

Zero romance. Nada. Absolutely nothing.

You don't know why ML falls in love with the MC and you don't know if the MC even likes ML after finishing the novel.

There's comedy and the MC is shameless. But don't come to read this if you like the main couple to share at least a single intimate moment like kissing or holding hands like a couple.

Deduct one star for the lack of world building, deduct one more star for DISSATISFYING ML! leave 3 stars for comedy it offers...

One phrase, ML is like an over-indulged and spoiled princess who always has people fawning over him, and think the world revolves around him!!

Maybe it's the first time I was actually thinking that ML (gong) doesn't deserve the MC (shou) at all?

I was disappointed because ML actually never properly regret and ask for forgiveness after he always treat MC real identity as the waste child very poorly and... more>> rude.

And instead he forced the MC to re-engage with him, with an unbreakable contract marriage, after he knows that MC alter identity is the famous doctor with great reputation that ML fall in love with.

I was so fed up with those overbearing ML! Someone who think so highly of himself and never apologize properly. It made him like he only love the identity of Great famous doctor who's so wealthy, rather than the person himself.

I truly agree that MC is actually more suited to be with Zhang Rangxuan, the ML's uncle. Their interaction more natural and more refreshing rather than over-indulged ML. <<less

First timer, anyway I will try be precise:

-Funny, cunning, smart MC

-MC is all about beauties (men not girls)

... more>> -MC is a super famous surgeon (for beauty reason and heath reason, so far in the story

-ML is not know yet, but he might be the ex-fiancé

-MC loves money, dedicated 1 paragraph to how time is money for MC

-Setting is historical with cultivation, although MC was born as a modern cosmic surgeon (went to university for medical art/product makers = who rebirth as an ungifted magic user (have past memories in mind even when he's still a child)

-All male characters are very handsome in one way or another

-Easy read but you can already tell how the story will get more complicated and entertaining as it progress

-Translator is also very good at her job, many thanks to her <<less

Review at Chapter 21:

Great!! ★★★★★ The MC is so hilarious, the very embodiment of shamelessness and narcissism himself. And yet, I can't help but think of him as adorable. He is so petty that he always bring up all his grievances in his own sarcastic way. I love the face-slapping! XD

So far, there's no further development to the plot and the story remains light-hearted, akin to a slice of life, comedy story. However, I see some underlying flags of dramas and more face-slapping.

I love the MC so much. Some novels also have shameless and narcissistic MCs but they never lived up to expectation and even turns out annoying. But this one's different. I have so much fun whenever he opens his mouth, it's so amusing. I'm also very interested at how almost all his people (as of now) were all underestimated characters, and I'm antipating how things will end.

(Edited)

Review at Chapter 262:

Okay, so I have just reached the end of the novel, not including the side story. And I have to say that this story is very enjoyable to read. It's been a very funny at exciting ride. Recently, the translator dropped the novel at Chapter 77. It was really a cliff hanger phase since it's very near a turning point in the story

Spoiler

in which the MC reveals his identity as the Ghost Doctor when he fought against a Qi Family elder and used both dark and light magic. Zhuang Hao personally witnessed the scene and was shocked for a few chapters and unable to move on from the sudden epiphany.

[collapse]

Also, at this point in the novel, the plot moves from the day-to-day funny events to diving straight to our character's backstories, mainly, Qi Shaoran's four followers who are in charge of QSR' cosmetic businesses.
Spoiler

All four followers follow the same line of either being kicked out of the family, heavily underestimated or disdained and such. They all put a closure to their past and each one of them gets together with their own respective partners. Of course, the last one to get married is still our main couple. ❤

[collapse]

Spoiler

Around the hundredth chapters, the MC — along with Zhuang Hao (male lead), Yi Fan (MC's subordinate) and Mu Tingxuan (Yi Fan's partner and another one of MC's subordinates) went to "god's abandoned land" to search for a spiritual plant. The land is a domain where magic cannot be used and people live in a primitive society. MC stayed there for four years.

[collapse]

SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING BELOW!!!
Spoiler

MC and his companions got a spiritual fruit in the forbidden land which can make people "bear a child" (nope, this isn't mpreg if you're concerned about it). Basically, you feed the fruit with parent's blood for a few months then voila! A baby will form from the fruit.


MC and ML had a child called "Zhuang Yun" who is mature, quiet, and very smart. Meanwhile, Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan have a son of the same age named "Yi Ming" who is completely the opposite of his two fathers. He is restless, a bit silly, arrogant and can be considered a mini-Qi Shaorong. The two children are childhood friends. Yi Ming always like to contend with Zhuang Yun over everything but always fail, while Zhuang Yun always bullies teases Yi Ming. In the end, the two got married together ♡
[collapse]

Spoiler

Yi Ming: Uncle Qi, what do I do if I hate someone very much but I don't have the ability to move him?


MC: If you can't fight him along then bring people to fight him together!
Yi Ming: But what if it doesn't work?
MC: Revenge isn't too late even after ten years. Ten years later, just robbed him of his wife, ah!
Yi Ming: But he's too strong! What can I do if I can't do all of those?
MC: Hehe, then just marry him!

Interesting concept, but a little bumpy there in the beginning. I am eager to know more (hence the 4 stars).

What I got:

What happens when you get pressured to be one thing and it backfires. Not just on the pressure-er but on you as well? What happens then when you are reborn a waste? Talentless, unwanted, and just flat out over it all?

I am proud to say that I have endured this for 118 chapters. I know there's only like 20 chapters left, but I just can't do it. Absolutely no criticisms to the translators, because the translations are amazing, but I have many things to dislike about the novel's content. (+1 star)

First off, the MC is amazingly smart and crafty. Unlike other novels where the MC is emotionless or just a regular ol guy, he's actually a smartass and kinda vain. I'm glad to see a variety of character types... more>> here. (+1 star)

Unfortunately, the ML, while he starts off really respectful and cool, starts to become insufferable later on.

Spoiler

After ML finds out that his ex-fiance is his disguised crush, he starts trying to woo him in a way that completely disregards the MC's own feelings. ML knows he is stronger and has some magic control over the MC, and uses this control to force the MC to agree to an engagement proposal.

[collapse]

When I say insufferable, I mean INSUFFERABLE. He used to be a good guy, so what happened??? Why is he being so icky all of a sudden?

Overall, I would like to give huge props to the translators for giving their all, but I think I'll skip this novel and read the translators' other works instead. The tags and synopsis promised me an arrogant, lazy doctor who was transmigrated into a fantasy world and would put the ML in his place, but I was given a ML who doesn't know boundaries and experiences a character type change halfway through. I'm dropping this and I suggest you do the same, for your own mental well-being. <<less

This is a story about face slapping which was interesting. Everything is probably good but I have a large dissatisfaction. I am very displeased at the ML. It was easy to understand that MC was shameless just by reading into a few chapters but the ML is even more shameless than the MC in a terrible way. MC shamelessness is the type where you want to laugh at it and ML type is the type you want to punch at his face.

... more>>
Spoiler

ML and MC are engaged and the engagement got canceled pretty early on and ML fall in love with MC hidden identity. And ML misunderstood that MC was his love rival. You can guess that ML attitude toward the MC wasn't really good. And guess what, after after MC identity was exposed ML become what you call a overbearing president that forces the MC to be with him with a master and s*ave contact~. MC wasn't even willing and I haven't even heard his apologize for his attitude toward MC. He said he will not regret canceling the engagement during the early part of the story and guess what, Talk about being shameless. The ML is just a spoiled, immature brat with a good family that haven't suffer any hardship since he was a genius. I know he wasn't a bad person but as a male lead you need to have someone who have a personality suitable to the MC not some immature rich brat that doesn't respect the MC. At least have a character development that show his change and regret, I see none

If you read the other reviews and were put off by people calling this a crack fic, don't listen to them. This can not qualify as crack, at most it's crack taken seriously. It's just that our MC really, really, doesn't care about the opinions of other people, which... can you blame him?

The setting of the story... this might come off as rude so excuse me in advance, but if you can't pin down the setting then you need to go read more Chinese novels. The author doesn't go... more>> into detail about it because the Xuanhaun genre and other related ones are really freaking common in Chinese media. It's like asking them to explain what an elf is or for them to go into detail about the intricacies of mage vs warriors or what the heck a slime is. It just doesn't need to be done, so they don't.

Anyways, this genre generally has a lot of manipulative schemers who only care about reputation and power. Our MC, who was very wealthy and successful in his previous life doesn't care for that kind of stuff so he really goes at his own pace, not letting anyone's unspoken rules affect him. He's very shameless about his love for beauty so he says and does things that are out of the norm, which might seem crack-y, but it's not like it came out of nowhere, it's just his generally rebellious attitude.

I agree that the author doesn't provide much physical description in their story and I kind of wish they did, but I'm able to picture the story surprisingly well in my head. I think it was probably intentional that the author did that. Because specific looks aren't really important, just that their looks are something, whether it be ugly or beautiful. If that makes any sense... <<less

High potential wasted.

With the current trends (c102) (but it was kinda obvious since the beginning) the ML is going to be that "domineering" type, although is the MC is somewhat powerful (as in win against anyone but gotta lose to the ML), so maybe it's more appropriate to call it the ML the egomama type (I can't think of the correct English word but basically it means you do what you want without concern for others).

The MC is very interesting, but because the author forces him to be with... more>> the ML, many wrongs go unrighted. And since the MC is the only one worth following the story for...

Oh. It's gay marriage but there's "wife"-husband thingy so if you aren't comfortable with that...

There's also some r*pey mentality nonconsensual sh*t going on and I don't like it. I don't remember the particular instances (I'm not doing a good job of reviewing this huh..), but you'll get the idea once you read it. Everyone is basically guilty (they either say someone should do this or that and/or be complicit with it).

If the MC can ditch the ML or make him repent and have some character growth that would be great.

Doesn't seem possible though. The ML doesn't even think his actions were wrong or "wrong" for the right reasons.

TL;DR The MC is interesting and is what makes the story good. The story didn't do him justice though and that's why you should bail. That and there' s some problematic stuff.

I feel like I'm being generous with this 3.. <<less

I just want to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the first halfish of this novel. The MC was a breath of fresh air in a genre completely saturated by do nothing, passive, wall flower MCs that just timidly do everything the "black belly" ML wants them to do. That was the first half of the novel anyway. I will not spoil what exactly happens, but roughly halfway through the story something incredibly s*upid happens. You'll know it as soon as it happens because it is just that much of a stretch,... more>> and the way the characters deal with it afterwards is very out of character, especially so in the MCs case. Like I said I don't want to spoil it so I won't say what exactly happens, and how its dealt with, but to say it is unsatisfactory is an understatement. I'd say this part completely ruins the entire second half of the novel. <<less

The entire thing reads like the summary. It comes off sounding like a crack fic, which isn't to my taste. Since there is no exposition the setting is never described, the motives of anyone including the protagonist is never described. I have no idea how anyone looks, only whether the protagonist thinks they're attractive or not through dialogue. I don't have any idea why there is even gay marriage in the first place for the protagonist when the society seems like your typical ancient chinese-esque society. No one else seems... more>> to be in a gay marriage. <<less

I absolutely adore the MC!! Really narcissistic and obviously with a backbone, I thought this was gonna be a good read. (And it was, for the first parts)

This gets severely overshadowed by the such a disappointing ML though and the characters are proving to be more and more annoying! I’ve been enduring a lot in the past chapters bruh (I’m amazed I even got to read till chapter 99, but no, I’m not going to ab*se myself anymore)

Would have appreciated if ZH contemplated on the grievances QSR has with him. QSR obviously went through a lot of things to get where he is at and it’s very painful to see ZH just use a contract to control him??? And so easily??? Is he such a heaven defying existence???

Also without consideration of QSR’s feelings! – Honestly seeing QSR be moved by any of ZH’s actions make me want to squeeze him silly, child why are you moved so easily like this. I’m sure you encountered more moving things with your loyal friends why is this douche affecting you so much at this point. He didn’t even face you himself when the marriage agreement was cancelled!! And he fell in love so quickly with another man??? Even though it’s technically still QSR, I did not see even an ounce of explanation how he could like the Ghost Doctor – at most he could have labelled him as eccentric and interesting. Friendship I can manage but such attraction that he’d annoy him everywhere (seemingly forgetting all his past mistakes and bullsh*t - QSR may not be thoroughly annoyed but Laozi is!!! The world doesn’t revolve around you brother!!! Someone transmigrate into this book and carry the cute MC away please)

All ZH is doing is having QSR give away all his secrets so easily!!!

Appreciate the Translators‘ efforts. I hope this novel gets better and provides more depth to why characters did what they did (already hate the ML so much though) but I may need a break from all this for now <<less

I like Zhuang Renquan more than the ML, I feel like they will have a better relationship ?

ML, what happened to not regretting cancelling the marriage contract with the MC? I expected a bit of grovelling, but MC was served another marriage contract that the MC has no way out! What the f*ck. I don't blame ML for not loving the MC at first since ML and MC are basically strangers and ML only knows MC as Ghost Doctor but I didn't expect ML to actually do that.

Again, I... more>> was rooting for Zhuan Renquan. Even though his appearance in the novel is very minimal, I still felt he is more compatible with MC :D

But the story is still good though, ML is very dedicated to MC so it's not that bad. <<less

This is an excellent web novel! I love the MC because he is super shameless and funny. The MC's friends (servant?) are all very likable and they each have their own arc explaining their background and their romantic interest. The way that the story isn't completely focused on the MC makes it refreshing for when you want to see other couples interact.

The romance is slow, to the point where even the male lead is getting frustrated because all their other companions are getting married one after another and he still... more>> couldn't set a date with the MC. However, I quite like the slow romance because it's always funny to see the male lead getting provoked by their companions on how he's progressing so slow.

The story may be set in a fantasy world with magic and unicorns, but the sole focus is all on the money. With money, you can pretty much do anything. Strength matters very little, but that being said the main cast are all strong.

It's a really good read for people that likes comedy because this novel is full of it. <<less

I agree with RedsFable...

It has an interesting plot, but character development needs a lot of work. The Main Character might as well be classified as a wallflower.

The world is also not explained at all. "Magicians??? What?"

The translation is on point. The only thing I dislike about the translation is how they add a colon instead of a comma before a person speaks.
