Transmigrated As a Villain, I Rely on Sand Sculpture to Survive

Description

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

Su Huayi became the vicious adopted son with the same name in a novel about the struggle of the rich.

He was adopted as a child into the Su family. He was beautiful but with a scorpion’s heart. He repeatedly persecuted his older brother and tried to take over the family business.

Su Huayi transmigrated at a time when the original owner was up to his usual schemes.

He crawled out from under his elder brother’s bed and looked up to meet the latter face-to-face.

Su Chi’s expression was sullen: “What are you doing here?”

Su Huayi shyly bowed his head: “… I wanted to give you a surprise.”

*

As the eldest son of the Su family, Su Chi not only managed the family business but also had to take care of his younger brothers. He was planning to give that malicious adopted brother some trouble, to let him know that the sea of bitterness has no end and that he should turn a new leaf…

Su Huayi: It all depends on the waves.

Su Chi: “…”

To protect himself, Su Huayi acted coquettish to the point of no return, but he did not notice that the look in his elder brother’s eyes had gradually changed.

You ever pick up some discount junk food but then you try it and hey it's pretty tasty, turns out this is some Gourmet junk food.

That's what this novel is in a nut shell. It's got all the usual tropes of canon fodder villain clinging to a golden thigh and the relationship slowly changing to romantic but it does it well.

MC - idiot but in a cute way, honestly not conventionally MC s*upid and is pretty astute here and there (even for romance can you believe it).

ML - Seemingly cold... more>> president big brother but actually really funny. Respectful of MC and takes care of him.

Romance - I had a lot of fun reading this. There was a lot of casual bantering and bickering that gives off an almost comedy routine vibe. I was pleasantly surprised by MC/ML interactions where they had a lot of back and forth. There was a nice gradual lean from suspicion to platonic love to romance and I thought the moment ML realised he was truly in love was very sweet.

I liked that pre-romance MC in his 'brotherly' role doesn't act like some weird White lotus seducer (wolfish silkpants bottom certainly comes to mind). He's a bit clingy but it's not really beyond any realms of acceptance. ML is also aware they're not blood related and makes sure to set boundaries.

Their romance is also pretty fun. MC actually properly considers ML's confession seriously and knows what boundaries they need to have instead of always physically sticking to him when he hasn't responded to his confession. There's no weird grapple for top of bottom and they're both equally clingy to each other. Love the sacarstic banter continuing into the romance too.

The side characters were fun too, I liked his family members and how they all had their own personality. Shout out to third brother for being a great wingman.

There's not too much face slapping and it focuses more on their relationship. All in all some delicious junk food that made me smile. <<less

A good and hilarious sand sculpture novel XD this one suits my taste. I like the gradual and sweet love-development except the brain-damaged MC.

I always drop my common sense as I read this since the MC's original soul is already graduated and is working. And if I remember correctly it has something to do with law and business (?), but he always acts like an 8yr old child, and coquettish to his eldest brother (ML)

I like how the ML's face always crack due to MC's s*upidity. I also find... more>> it funny how ML always retorts the MC. There are lots of pun and chinese idioms too that brings comedic tone to the novel.

I don't know if I'm gonna drop, but I find it uninteresting when the ML started to monopolize the MC. Also, some unresolved intimate tension makes me crave to see meat but due to the date it is published (2020), I shouldn't expect anything <<less

3.5 stars, cute but not much substance. Another review compared the novel to junk food and I absolutely agree. It's just nonsensical fun. No drama, no villians, and no miscommunication issues.

MC is airheaded and niave. Not much to him really. I didn't dislike him but didn't like him either.

ML is the standard cold CEO but with some sarcastic humor, which makes him more interesting. He still picked on MC a lot after realizing his feelings, which made me annoyed. I was waiting for him to slowly stop the mean teasing... more>> as much and give him more loving teasing.

The 2nd and 3rd brothers weren't explored enough. I wish the 2nd brother got more, he was left out a lot.

Spoiler

it isn't until chapter 60 or 61 that they get together. ML confesses like 10 chapters before that, but it takes the MC a while to figure out his feelings..

[collapse]

I will read again when the translation is out completely and update my review if need be. I think I missed a lot in the MTL. <<less

it's a silly lighthearted novel. MC is silly and his skills are not properly shown (i just knooow there will be rants about this lol). MC also has a cute hair that acts as a mood indicator lol. ML is nice; he loves his parents a lot so once MC said he would change, he was willing to give him a chance since their parents really loved MC.

the running jokes about the abandoned middle child are so funny. I was kinda torn between "ah this hits too close to home"... more>> and cackling the whole way 😭 <<less

Protagonist is Su HuanYi's ahoge. Its character is in line with what I think a sweet protagonist should have. It's full of personality and you can grasp its meaning with just its gestures. It's full of soul/color and you can feel it's emotions. I like it's character.
Spoiler

JK lol 😂

Choosing to drop this one even if there are only around 10 chapter left till finish. Very light hearted and funny read, but there's not much story there except for their family slapstick comedy.

I did not really have interest in continuing this story since around 30ish chapter, but managed to last till now hoping there's more to it but nothing till now.

The story is okay, I think it lost a lot of energy and tension halfway.

For some reason, I was expecting MC to actually do something, but all the business events were super vague (it didn't sound like author knew what they were talking about), and MC pretty much only read the dictionary every day at work. There was no situation of the MC showing any knowledge about anything except miraculously

... more>>
Spoiler

during the final few chapters suddenly ML said that he was capable? Um, based on what? Reading the dictionary?

[collapse]

It's very fluffy and the majority of the focal point is on the romance and snappy dialogue.

Spoiler

MC never revealed that he was transmigrated into a book and the original book character events were pretty much solved after the first public banquet.

The love rival plot with Mr. Nie was also extremely boring and not well-done.

[collapse]

I feel like the plot itself didn't really even show up until near the end of the novel; the rest of it was just brainless slice-of-life.

The translation was okay. It was pretty good in the beginning, but the translator might have run out of steam partway as there were a lot of weird phrasings later on.

Spoiler

Like the soup pool... can't you just call a hot tub what it is?

Also yin-yang guai qi or "ying-yang" can just be translated as "passive-aggressive" to get the humor...

In all honesty, It took so much perseverance for me to finish reading this novel. The story is so dragging and full of nonsense that the longer I read, the lower the rating it gets. as someone who always love fluff, I kinda feel bad about it.

well, sigh as much as I enjoyed the story's light-heartedness, the character setting and the dialogues in this novel are unbearably absurd to me.

"Su Huanyi had graduated in his previous world several years ago"

yes, the MC is old enough to be considered a young... more>> adult, yet he couldn't do many things right, including wording and talking properly, pulling off his scarf and unzipping his own jacket. He even dirtied himself when putting away the dishes... I don't know what he can achieve in life if he can't even do all these basics, really. I understand that this silliness and cuteness (?) are the traits the author wanted him to portray, but this is still too much, especially for someone in their 20s. I really can't vibe with this level of s*upidity naivety even though I am well aware of its comedic undertones.

The ML is also no better. He is extremely sarcastic, and this sarcasms aren't presented in a good way. While being a bit sarcastic can sometimes be considered funny, when more than 90% of words that left your mouth are sarcasms, it's no longer the case. Like the heck? No matter how handsome, rich and intelligent the ML is, it's all gone whenever he opens his mouth. In my country, we called people who talked like this as dog-mouthed, which is an immediate red flag. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can't understand author's taste.

like seriously, the whole story was practically a repetition of
Spoiler

1. MC saying something silly, either miswording or misinterpretation, like a primary school student, and ML then counterattacks him with his series of sarcasms, or 2. ML lust after MC, while MC always either cracks some jokes at the critical moment or being all innocent but also let the ML do what he wants in the end.

There is very little substantial plot, if not none. I'd recommend you find something else to read at this point, but feel free if you want to give it a try. <<less

I thought MC was funny at first but then he got dumber and dumber the further it goes that its no longer adorable. ML was OK, his antics made me blush sometimes but I got kinda annoyed as I read further into the story. It's not horrible it just got annoying for me to read. If you're into dumb MC and smart/sarcastic yet doting ML then this is for you. It's good to read if you turn off your brain to pass the time I guess.

Also, idioms. So many idioms... more>> that I also got kinda confused like MC since he kept using them in the wrong context, sometimes with the words interchanged. 😵 <<less

If you are looking for uneventful fluff, this is the story to go for.

Unfortunately I felt rather bored at some point and stopped at chapter 66. Neither is it a bad story, nor had writing. Just was not my cup of tea at the moment.

To be honest, I procrastinated so much that I do not remember the whole story and can only rate it on my last impression... which was " don't want to read anymore".

I enjoyed the first half of the story and thought the MC was funny and enterprising. Then he proceeded to become dumber and more one dimensional as the story progressed. The sarcastic ML didn't give me any reason to like him, or believe in the romance. I think it's a good read if you're bored and don't want to think too much.

If you're looking for a hilarious story with a heartwarming family and a main couple that is loving and sweet with no dogblood or angst to be found, I cannot recommend this story enough! This is truly a pleasure to read and I'll really miss seeing the daily updates. I'll miss this whole family!

ahhhh it's do seemingly cute yet hot.

I just completed reading it and am missing it very soon.

It's a really an amazing story, that everyone should read.

... more>> It's do fluffy so cute, it's a very healing story, and put your mood in cloud nine.

There love was so natural, it was no way hurried just at the right time. And both the ML and MC wre so damn each other's half.

I am so much in love with them and to a certain extent obsessed.

It's not just them who are sweet but their entire family. I wish everyone had that kind of family.

This story is a good mixture of fluff, romance, family affection, comedy and friendship.

It's just there were so muchh idioms damn, even though I enjoyed reading them cause they had humour element in them, I would want the nsfw scenes to be without idioms.

There was this idiom saying- they had a local earthquake and mountain and rocks started rolling and at the end mudslide shot down. Like wtf 👁️👄👁️I had to read it twice before actually understanding it😂😂

Anyway an awesome story, I would highly recommend it to all of u, this is an amazing story that u all should read.

Thank you author and translators for the amount of hard work. <<less

Loved the comedy! Worth re-reading just for ML's sarcastic humour and MC's messed-up idioms and adorable cowlick hair... lmao!
This reads like a light sitcom, with funny dialogues and lighthearted fun. I like MC's cute upbeat sweet personality. MC is so funny when he acts all flirtatious or when he is stuffing himself silly with food

It is refreshing to read about rich second generations who are quite normal for a change lol. I love the heartwarming Su family... I love oblivious tsuntsun SuJianChen and big troll SuYu. Missing the whole family already! Will certainly read again in the future.

It's good, the story is fun and fluff.,

But there is missing something.

It's a transmigration novel right?

... more>> I was nearly the end of the story, it said in the original novel that HS is the villain, in the end of the story, he will be sent out in the hospital with a broken legs.

SC is probably the ML of the original story as well, and I was waiting for the original protagonist and other side characters and their role to show and spice thing up, but nothing. No one show up.

Is the original novel is only about family adoption novel? Fighting for property etc.?

I end things here. Probably continue later if I don't have anything to read. <<less

It is good, in the beginning. ML and MC dialogue are funny specially when one of tyem becomes speechless. But it died down pretty quickly and gets boring. It became a slice of life where everything they did gets repeated. Nothing new happens so I will dropped this. I did like it so I rated it with 3. My advise to future readers, you can read it slowly. Take your time. Reading it all the way through quickly will make your interest lost. So far the translation is good.

Help- this Novel can't stop makes me laughed and smile. 😆😆😆 It's too Amusing!!!

MC is Hilarious in general. ML's Come back/Sarcasm is Always Gold!!! LMAO

The rest of the Family are Precious!!! The Parents are soooooo Good!!! The 2nd Brother slightly Tsundere but mostly always the one who felt left behind to confusion. Poor him but we adore him lol. While the 3rd Brother are a Teaser. But also the most Observant one in the family where he can see the development between MC and ML.

So far there's no Drama. No... more>> Angst, No Conflict, No Villain, Just Pure Comedy and Fluff! It's Super Cute, Epic Hilarious, Absolutely Lovable and Truly Enjoyable!!!!

I'm sad to drop this but I just can't go on anymore. Although it is indeed entertaining and funny, it's just that. I am also dissatisfied with how the MC acts all the time. How does he do it? Like in his original life, he has supposedly finished uni, so how is he really good at acting like a... idk, a brainless person? Honestly at this point my favorite is the second brother.

I guess everyone has their own measure of what they like, but this one just doesn't measure up... more>> to mine. Still if you guys are into some brainless fluff, comedy and some sarcastic banter from the characters, then go ahead. You'll definitely like it.

(P.S. I originally want to rate it 2 stars, but for the times I laughed because of this I added 1 star) <<less

It's an ok good.

Kind of long.

I didn't really find it that funny idk why. My humor is lame so maybe that's why.

I did chuckle a few times but not much.

The banter was good but Im not into banter.

The 'smut' was ratchet.

I honestly skipped it.

Like pls. Don't make it seem like poetry when readers want the opposite.

It's just too sweet? There is no conflict at all in it, even the smallest conflict does not exist, which actually makes the story seem to be stretched out???

But still overall if you want to read a 100% sweet story, then this is worth recommending, well sometimes I just feel like the story becomes a bit boring and makes me sleepy because there are no waves (conflict) at all along the storyline.
