Description

Nie Jia lived his life with kindness and respect, yet all his actions were paid back with the cold grey walls of prison. Inside the bars, he vowed that if he ever had another life, he would be a complete villain! Beast! Scoundrel!

One day, he actually transmigrated.

System: As a villain, you have to be courageous enough to burden the task of initiating trouble, destroying the world and creating chaos. It’s an incredible responsibility, do you understand?

Nie Jia: I understand. I’ll definitely use everything I have to complete the mission tasks so everyone will die!

System: No, no….you’re the only one who will die.

Since then, Nie Jia rode away upon the road of a great villain, but every time he went close to destroying the world and completing his goal, he was always defeated by this thing called “The Protagonist’s Halo”.

Nie Jia (#‵′) : The Protagonist is a cheater, I refuse to accept this!

Until his system was actually hacked by someone….

The title really suits the novel. More on face slapping scenes. It's quite entertaining since the MC and ML are not annoying instead the villains are. Also, the characters (villain and side chara) are portrayed to be alive and capable of thinking (not 2d), despite being a data. The stories are mostly about ML appeasing MC from mc's rage (killer maniac). My rating is around 4.4, rounded it up to 5

MC's life was divulged in the first 5 chapters. A military doctor in an interstellar world. He was framed by... more>> his relative (disclosed on the last chapter) and by the prosecutors. In order to alter his psychology into a killer (to have an evidence for prosecution), he was locked and his psyche was sent to different made-up world as a villain to do inhuman things without his control (like FoD), making the MC short tempered, schizophrenic, and homicidal. Fortunately, the ML hacked that system so that the MC could have a freedom. And that's the start of the world data hopping, For MC to fulfill the villain's wish to offset the value of the accumulated criminal personality. In Arc 3, MC' is a little different (his killer psyche is magnified. And the latter arcs are about MC trying to control his homicidal tendency. Kudos for the author for the change of pace.

Spoiler

In arc3, it is heart wrenching for the ML to see that the MC change and kill, (and became apathetic to life since MC got a mental disorder). He really is a villain there so times

I guess the downside is the dog blood drama and the last 2 chapters of the last data-arc. The MC is a unreasonable killing everything just to end the data world, he should have listened to data-world MC. Well, probably, it is reasonable for a mentally disordered MC.

It is a good read QT, with a lot of fluffy moments. The plot is quite good and it can really hook you up to anticipate the next chapters. There are also a lot of face slapping here. The downside is that the ending is quite abrupt, it would be nice if there are extras after they came back to their real world. Also, the arcs are quite long but it is not the dragging type. Overall its a good read.

About MC

MC has a bipolar disorder caused by... more>> the world he experienced. He is your typical OP character with a tiny bit of sadistic strike. He is very clingy with ML and very indifferent to everyone. His 3 views are kind of crook but it's okay, ML is there to save the day.

About ML

ML is your typical OP wife s*ave. He is the last pillar of MC and the bottom line that can never be touched even a bit. He is really good to MC since he indulge MC to everything even though he knows it is wrong yet he accept it since he knows that MC can never stand his rejection.

About villians

Some have depth, others don't. The face slapping is quite fulfilling.

About the arcs

As I said they are really long.

Arc1

Spoiler

MC is a neurosurgeon while ML is a big company president. It's nice to see the process where MC starts to accept the ML slowly. The face slapping is quite nice where after everything the antagonist are left with nothing.

[collapse]

Arc 2

Spoiler

this is my fave arc.

    • Singer MC
      big company president
    • White lotus idol
      white eyed wolf younger brother/idol

It's quite a nice read where the antagonist actually have a rollercoaster of emotions. First he hates MC, the he feels guilty to the MC eventually acquiting himself and feel his superiority until he becomes helpless. Their logic is also kind of lost but that's fine since it adds to the fun.

[collapse]

Arc 3

Spoiler

emperor MC

shadow guard commander ML. There are a lot of killings here and also shows the manliness of MC hahaha

[collapse]

Arc 4

Spoiler

genius screenwriter MC

war monopoly businessman ML. The antagonist is a scum man, your typical scum man.

[collapse]

Arc 5

Spoiler

killing machine MC

commander general ML. Ugghh the most crooked arc of them all. Blood bath everywhere. Btw, this is the arc where MC lost himself since ML died infront of him.

[collapse]

Arc 6

Spoiler

they returned to reality and the antagonist is very easily solved hahaha.

I MTL the first arc. I love it so far.

The MC is very smart, cool and collected. The ML is loving, respectful and supportive, but not possessive. I like this ML so far, he is strong and dominating but only to his enemies. He is pretty normal to the other characters, which as we know in most QT the ML is only nice to the MC and is dominating to everyone else. But he pretty much behaves like a regular person unless you are an enemy.

The counterattack/ face slapping is... more>> pretty satisfying so far =) Nothing more than what the bad guys deserves.

There is Sugar and dog food! The overall background is set pretty early. The MC and ML lives in a interstellar world. MC was framed and was locked in a virtual world to collect his criminal data (force him to commit crimes in the virtual world). The ML hacks the system and free him from the system and lets him continue to transmigrate to make up for those villain points so that when he gets back he can be released. (ML is trying to save him)

Edit/

I finished MTL-ing the book. Its a bit short, I wish there was at least 3-5 more arcs.. I enjoyed all the worlds, the real world arc was not as good as the other arcs tho, but that's pretty typical of quick transmigrations.

4.6/5 for all the worlds, 4.3/5 overall cause the end arc was not interesting. (It's a happy ending) <<less

This one was more a 4.5 than a straight 5, more for the rushed ending than anything else. I very much enjoy stories that are anti-story protagonists or show you that the shi*te MC and ML’s get up to during the entirety of a story are questionable because real life is a grey area rather than black and white. I enjoy the stories that have you look at something another way rather than just accept what is readily given to you. I am not a Mary/Marty Sue fan, in fact... more>> those types of stories disgust me. I am of the opinion that this one did a very good job of bringing up the questions of what is perceived as good and bad...

On the other side the author did a great job of the physicality of the MC’s vulnerabilities, the progressive shift from when he had had trauma and was left alone. The ML’s situation was weird, but I did enjoy how no matter what they saw and recognized each other right away - then slid right back into being ‘together’. That ending though... But the author does give a reason and I can very much understand if the story itself was exhausting to write. <<less

To be honest, this novel isn't as lighthearted as the synopsis indicated.
Spoiler

Throughout the whole novel is basically the MC's struggle between who he was before and who he has become. He hated the self that was cruel and heartless, unlike the simple and kindhearted self he had been. This causes him to sometimes become insecure about the ML's love for him (MC). To me, the whole novel feels fraught with tension, worrying when the MC will snap and become the person the villains in the real world wanted him to be. The ending was pretty abrupt but it was HE and it was also an end to the tension of whether the MC could accept himself and trust the ML's love for him.

This hit me in all the feels. Its the first QT I've read that did such a wonderful job of portraying the MC's pain and confusion. Our MC had been tortured and destroyed in his original life. His quick transmigrations were meant as punishment for a crime he had never committed. He lost who he was as a result and was filled with shame and hate for the person he became. He never thought that our ML could love who he has become because he doesn't love himself.

And our ML.... more>> I don't know where to start. He's like a warm blanket that keeps you warm during the coldest winter. He was everything to our MC. He broke in to save our MC from the outside world and ended up saving the MC from himself. There are no words to describe this. I hope it gets translated so that I can read it in English. Although the MTL wasn't bad, I doubt it did justice to the authors words. <<less

The author is eloquent when discussing issues about politics and morality, specially the last world. The plot of every world is full, though the original world plot seemed to be a dumped of information, you will understand it. There is logic. It's hard to understand the character of ML sometimes. And also sometimes, I feel ML I don't feel the presence of the ML but it was understandable because at first the ML doesn't have his memory abd treat every world as real world plus it maybe because it is... more>> MTL. And maybe because I MTLed it, I got bored sometimes, not because it was bad, but the people's outlook, their descisions, their characters was realistically portrayed according to the background of every world. At least, I think so, haha. I appreciate the MC's character stick to his character, and didn't suddenly have compassion for people, his thoughts and character changed logically according to the events. Although the end is not dramatic and did not put a mark on me, but I feel there is no more suitable than this ending as it put my restless heart onto peace because I know MC have ML on his life, MC will now have a home. <<less

I'm not going to give a definite rating right now since I've MTL'd almost the whole novel. But my approximate score would be 4.5. The fact that most of the reviews here have a "completed" tag, despite not having enough translated chapters, shows how addictive this novel is. The MTL is also easy enough to understand the gist of the story. However, the translations are good. So, I hope it will be continued.

This novel follows the same trope as many typical QT novels. The arcs are interesting. I felt that... more>> the arcs were stretched longer than necessary, although that doesn't necessarily make the arcs boring. The MC has a chaotic personality
Spoiler

(it was translated as bipolar disorder, but I'm not very well-informed about it, so I'm not sure how accurate the depiction is.)

[collapse]
His personality plays an important role in the arcs as well as the main plot. The ending and the plot of the real world seemed a little bit like a dog-blood drama, but I liked it.

The romance is interesting in some arcs, but fairly unrealistic in some others. (I guess love-at-first-sight is a thing in QT novels, so I'm not complaining much)

Spoiler

The ML is the same in all arcs and he and the MC have actually liked each other since their teenage years, but never got to express their feelings. There is a huge conspiracy going on in their real world surrounding the MC and his origin. The ML is powerful in the virtual worlds as well as the real world.

[collapse]

The ML is very sweet to the MC and he is not the dominating CEO type but rather the doting CEO type. I like how he always seems very understanding of the MC's mental health problems and tries to solve it by staying with him.

The only thing that disappointed me was the ending, which seemed quite anticlimactic. And I was expecting some extra chapters where we get to see the MC & ML being lovey-dovey in the real world, but there aren't any! 😢😢😢 <<less

I love this. The MC is pretty unique compared to other MC's in the QT business. He is on the borderline of mentally insane and is pretty psychotic and violent.

The arcs are very long and intricate, each one feeling like their own individual novel. And there's face slapping. Plenty of face slapping.

Gave it a 4... because of the abrupt ending

Aside from that it was really good

Both of the ML and the MC were really interesting

Each and every story was equally interesting

Unlike many where you get bored at some point this isn't the case here... you actually look forward to transmigration and beating of the "protagonists"

Give it a try

It was no regret...

Decent face slapping, characters, plots, some arcs I like some arcs I don't, decent pace and isn't draggy. Would rate 4.7 stars at best. I am a bit biased against this novel and MC.

unsatisfying ending that leaves us with questions unanswered and plot holes to fall into.

I like this novel is good!!

I like the early and last arches; when it comes to the real world, I hope the author tells more details about MC and ML before getting stuck in the virtual world... unfortunately the author only wrote a few chapters.

However, every arch in my opinion is too long and less varied. I mean, normally QT novels contain several different genres, but this novel has 3 similar world themes, so it's a bit boring in my opinion.

Every world, when they see each other, they immediately know... more>> each other's identity (although ML will forget but his heart knows MC is his lover) so there is no love struggle here, sob.

but overall good! you have to read it. <<less

Stories were alright ig, but I dunno if it's MTL's fault or nah, I barely restrained the urge to quickly skim through and just see what happens in the end. I mean, is it just me or are the arcs so damn long? Well, I ended up dropping lol nevermind.

Since plotlines were mediocre, I thought I might as well focus on the MCs and their relationship. Romance, like a man with fine taste @plainbreadst said, was too perfect. ML was sooo caring, soooo understanding that it just felt unreal lmao.... more>> Like he's not a human himself, you can camp here for 10000 years but will never see the instance when ML would have a headache (anything that puts you in a bad mood, lack of sleep, hunger, bad weather, etc.) and reply MC in the slightly impatient tone even in your dreams ppl. Or let's say our MC has a plan and does a bunch of weird things, and ML just UNDERSTANDS and never questions him. Bro, I know you believe in him but aren't ya even a tinnny bit of curious? Not my first time seeing the "devoted love interest" tag but what the hell man.

Other than that, ML and MC share the common trait, lack of personality. MC is ruthless but a softie at heart and loves ML; ML just loves MC. Oh yes MC also has a pair of unimaginably beautiful yellow eyes, my bad.

Don't look at me like that lol it's not as bad as it sounds, except that love damn it I haven't seen anything remotely close to a spark, if I was a match I would be damned before waiting for them light me up, so 3/5 bois I'm out. <<less

Welp, so far so good. I love all the drama, the scheming and the counterattack of the various characters.

Althoughthe idea of ML and immediately falling for each other at first made me incredulous, it was offset by the fact that it was a long time romance just waiting to explode.

Still reading. Except for the last arc, the rest of the story is very interesting. Especially considering how MC is totally just a hair's breath away from being completely insane. The mental journey of MC is very well depicted.

I'll change my review when I'm done.

I loved it! Honest to goodness, it was the most tear jerking QT novel I've ever read!

I read it with Marshmello's "Be Kind" song blasting in my ear, and that song plus the story arcs made it a really divine experience! &Gt;◇<

The ML was really sweet and doting on the MC. He tolerates MC's outbursts and even though MC has a lot of paranoia and violent tendencies, ML's love and wholehearted doting truly saves him.

... more>> The MC needs a lot of hugs and cuddles!

The plots are well written. The ending was a bit abrupt. Would've loved an extra or two, but I guess this was the best place to end the story.

I cried a lot, because the MC's experience in the real world was truly maddening. My heart broke when MC said to ML that "he's just trying rebuild the person he used to love."

It was truly sweet how the ML consoled him afterwards and finally let MC see the light and truly find the courage to accept ML.

I mtled the story all the way, so those who are interested please read it! All the tears, the laughs, and the sweet moments are well worth it!!! <<less

I enjoyed the novel overall and didn't need a break in-between which I usually do with novels that have more than 40 chapters. My guess is that the reason for my lack of need for a break is because the plot is pretty fast moving, too fast in some aspects even. The romantic development was like being strapped on a rocket headed towards a parallel universe, exaggeratedly fast and ridiculously unrealistic. Leaving aside how fast the main CP fell for each other and progressed each time, the side characters just... more>> accepted them suddenly being in love like "Yep, they in love now. No questions asked." Like dude, if a friend of mine was like "That's my wife now" to a guy they met for the first time, eating and sleeping with them and acting all lovey-dovey without probable cause, I would question their sanity and recommend therapy.

Besides that, I don't know how accurate bipolar disorder is depicted here since I have no personal experience with it nor have I done any in-depth research. The only thing I know is that the author likes to throw that term around a lot.
Spoiler

Like that one time when the MC produced a dark themed movie and the reviews said that people who are depressed or bipolar should probably not watch it since it could be triggering. A bit too specific, don't you think?

[collapse]

Nevertheless, since I did enjoy the read and it even managed to squeeze a few tears out of me I will still give four stars. <<less

WOW. Not even MTL can make me lose engagement on this one. I sacrificed my brain cells just so I can find out what happens next!

This is quite a unique novel where there's a bi-polar MC, harbours villainous thoughts and tendencies, I LOVE IT. He really takes on the role, can get cutthroat, unlike in other novels where the supposed-villain MC isn't actually that much of a villain.

One thing that still irked me a bit is the speedy development of MC's and ML's romance.. Starting from the first arc -... more>> I was like ??? When they got together, and got married in like the next month. I get that the ML had a subconscious feeling that he met the MC before but isn't it a bit tooooo quick to fall in love to that extent? Subsequent arcs, I get because they recognise one another as past lovers. But the first arc was the weirdest because the relationship hasn't been established yet.

Honestly I feel like I could do without the romance BUT I do like the ML for being very supportive, trusting and understanding. Green flags all around. When MC is at his lowest, ML makes sure he's there for MC to fall back on. He never gets in MC's way nor did he try to be overbearing/make decisions on his behalf. ML would be like 'you need help?', MC goes 'nah trust me bro', and ML just says 'ok'. Respectful, we like that.

Second arc was great, but I still have this vibe that the attitude of ML's brother was changed halfway to ignite more drama. Otherwise it wouldn't have been as exciting.

Third arc was alright.. But after that, I kinda got tired of the repetition. Transmigrate > Find ML > Romance and forget about the mission for a bit > Faceslap/Revenge > Repeat. Sad to drop this but it's hard to top the second arc when it was such a banger, like literally. <<less
