As a person who transmigrated into a novel written by himself, Qin Kaiyi experiences a huge pressure and burden.

Even more so, he transmigrated as the villain and is forced to follow the plot. Qin Kaiyi expresses that he doesn’t want to write novels anymore.

Qin Kaiyi: “WTF. transmigrating into the villain and being forced to follow the plot. Just let it be. Shen Feixiao, can you get the f*ck down from my body???”

Shen Feixiao: “Shixiong, I won’t.”

Alright, actually this is just a s*upid story about transmigrating into his own novel as the villain and getting pushed down by his own protagonist.

Probably the most f*cked up novel I've read in a long time. MC is a webnovel author who transmigrates into his current novel as the villanous shixiong of the protagonist. He feelds to guilty about having to actually do all the ab*se he wrote this shixiong did to the protagonist that he decides to be kind to and do nice things for the protagonist - in disguise, of course, so that he doesn't interfere with the plot. This turns into the blackened protagonist becoming completely obsessed with killing his shixiong... more>> and possessing his benefactor, as well as a few demonic cultivators also getting a bit obsessed with the MC. TW for non-con, kidnapping, imprisonment, torture, emotional ab*se, and child ab*se. No HE. <<less

This is a very slow to romance which is fine as the story is a well-paced and fascinating read. Thoroughly enjoyed this take on the yandere ML.

Unfortunately it's undercut by the very sparse female characters being written as walking "screeching, simpering, spoiled, shallow, s*upid" tropes...

BL author: hates women

audience: feigns shock

imo for clarity of the reading experience,

Spoiler

you might want to consider chapters 88-90 as an "alternate ending" (like in video games) as it doesn't seem to fit in with the main story timeline...?

This is one of the most traumatizing sh!t I everr read.

It made me wish to be illiterate.

After finishing this story. I stopped reading.

I never read anymore and I couldn't sleep at night khowing that someone like the ML exists.

I ALWAYS liked the yandere trop... Bit not anymore. This is traumatizing to the core.

I just finished tgcf and I cried and wanted a funny haha story to change the mood. And sob7analah I found this🧍🧍.

I wish I can go back in time and prevent myself from reading it

I deduct 1 star for the story having confusing, messy last chapters like either paragraphs are missing, chapters are missing, or chapters swapped. Maybe it's because the raw website the translator translated from hides some content. Another 1 star is for not explaining many things the story has mentioned previously, like

Spoiler

Xue Xian's life. How did he die? What is his relationship with Yan Gu, Yu Hong, Ziyang Shi, and Ziyang Pei?

How did Ziyang Pei cause Ziyang Shi to get the gu?

Where is Ziyang Shishi?

Is Shen Feixiao really a descendent of Xue Xian or is it just Shen Kaiyi's bluff?

Why did Yu Hing retire from the society decades ago and not accept anymore patients?

Is Qin Kaiyi's hair white when he's dragged back from the modern world into that golden cage bed?

[collapse]

And many side characters just disappear.

And I feel like, what? It ended just like that?? The story in the first half is comedic. The pacing is good most of the time. I couldn't stop reading the first 70 chapters. The r*pe isn't any more disturbing than other novels of the same genre, What's really disturbing is the controlling, possessiveness, obsession, and insanity, which are the theme of this novel along with
Spoiler

the dream paradox from the Zhangzhou butterfly Chinese literature.

[collapse]
. The yandere has also been paved very early in the story so you know.

The character development romantically doesn't exist at all. It starts from one sided obsession and ends with "codependency."

Spoiler

Time skip 6 yrs at ch. 51, 7 yrs at ch. 62.


The MC is topped by many people: 12 yo ML crazed in MC's fragrance, the founder of Hehuan Sect, adult ML, a disciple of Hehuan Sect.

The r*pe with penetretion is at ch. 71, 78, 88

[collapse]

Spoiler

Qin Kaiyi pitied child Shen Feixiao he wrote so he disguised himself, helped Shen Feixiao, and was gone to continue being the cruel Qin Shi to fulfil the plot from the System.


The kindest person to Shen Feixiao kept leaving him again and again caused Shen Feixiao to develop a heart demon. This heart demon with the belief that if he's strong, he could keep this person from leaving, caused Shen Feixiao to skyrocket to Nascent Soul, schemed, finally imprisoned Qin Kaiyi and kept raping him.

Finally Qin Kaiyi made up his mind and killed Shen Feixiao to complete his mission to go back to his modern world. It turned out Shen Feixiao is actually also from the modern world. Shen Feixiao had been in a coma from a car accident and dreamed as Shen Fei Xiao in this martial art world.

When Qin Kaiyi killed Shen Feixiao in the martial art world, Shen Feixiao woke up, found the modern day Qin Kaiyi, continued to harass Qin Kaiyi. Shen Feixiao promised not to force Qin Kaiyi, but manipulate Qin Kaiyi until he had no way out except living with Shen Feixiao.


Somehow, Shen Feixiao in the martial art world discovered the System and completed the mission to bring Qin Kaiyi back to the martial world,

I’ve read many genre’s and many toxic, twisted novels. But this is totally the most disturbing one in all the bad ways. Those who like it, can like it. Just not me and never will.

It isn’t an exaggeration if I say I never read something that I hated so bad in my whole reading time.

Author are you mentally ok?

Sincerely Concerned.

The ending is BE

But this one is one of the first ever novels I ever read, haha

All though I didn't like the ending very much but the rest of the story is quite nice. I didn't like what happens to Yan Gu in the story either and he was also my favorite character, still is! Haha all in all, ML is s*um and MC is well... He is the villain! What do you expect?

Anyways, this story is messed up, messed up and messed up, it's not that messed up but... more>> we'll.. very gruesome?

Makes you angry after reading, but if after reading you are gonna leave a one star review I suggest you don't read haha <<less

My guilty pleasure are yanderes. And, though I obviously don't agree with it outside of fiction, it's interesting to read stories with confinement, Stockholm Syndrome, obsession, etc... If you don't like these things and can't tolerate them, you will not like this story. This story is f*cked up. But, on to my actual review.

I dislike systems in stories generally and this did not change my mind. It's more enjoyable for me to see a character act without restrictions — especially when they have no way to return to their world. I also thought that the system tasks were kind of useless. Instead of saying "have the MC do this to the ML", it would have been better for the task to be "make sure the ML gets to BLANK". That would have given the MC an infinite amount of ways to progress the story aside from abusing or hurting the ML.

The confinement in this novel was not great. First off, we see it in the MC's dream but never get that dream realized. It's such a short part of such a long novel that didn't seem written as well as it could have been. On that topic, I feel like after a while the point of Yan Gu (the MC's fire spirit), Zhang-whatever Pei (rival ML), and the sable were kind of just there as filler characters. There was not really a big purpose to them or true, in-depth character development.

Last, but not least, I was so confused by the transmigration back to the real world. Forgetting that there's a chapter in the midst of this arc where the MC goes back to the cultivation world and then that's never explained or delved into, even in the real world, the ML isn't given any lovable characteristics. I would root for him more if he had more passionate love than just cold obsession. But, I have to admit I appreciated the realistic take the author took. Either way, I think the story is fine the way it is.

All in all, if there weren't so many issues, I would give it five stars! I ate this up and loved all of it. There wasn't really any lulls or parts where I felt the plot dragged, though I feel it could have been shortened. Still, would recommend to people who have this taste.

I felt bad I give this novel 3*. It wasnt that bad tbh, but it left bad tastes in my mouth. This novel is definitely BE imo.

The characters are ok, I dont feel like theyre bland. MC is consistent in his wishes to go home, and he cant break out of his character. But as a normal modern ppl, and the author, he feels pity for the ML, thus he supported him in secret, not knowing that this is what triggers all of his future misfortune. I felt so sad... more>> for him. Honestly at the end, all I wanted is for him

Spoiler

to kill himself/su*cide and get away from the ML, teaches the ML that not everything can go the way he want.

[collapse]

ML is def crazy. He is the real villain in this novel. He's not that kind of yandere you'd like.

Spoiler

Its really not love imo. And even the ML acknowledges it to his junior sister, when he said "its not abt like, but he cant live w/out MC", bcoz MC saves him when he was at his lowest. He is obsessed bcoz MC always leaves him after MC saves him. He wants to control MC, and thats what he did. He forced MC to accept him through confinement, threatening MCs family and friend, and manipulation. MC was literally FORCED to accept him. MC was depressed, traumatised and fear him. Even in the other world, he still doesnt change.

[collapse]

Its BE becoz the MC and ML got together in the end, since the MC doesnt love the ML.

I can accept reading abt a heavy yandere ML like (picked up by the protagonist of a tormented MC novel) where the ML is really crazy even till the point of r*pe and confinememt, BUT, only if the MC LOVES the ML back. And the MC acknowledges what the ML is doing. But in this novel, MC doesnt loves the ML until the end (where he succumb and accepted the ML).

Tbh, Ziyang Pei makes a better yandere ML candidate then Feixiao.. At least I feel his sincere love towards MC. Feixiao? Only obsession towards things he cant get/control.. <<less

Offensively mediocre. I couldn't even make it to the parts other people hated because the beginning was so tedious. The MC is disgustingly bland and unintelligent. He is supposedly a decent person, but also beats a child half to death to further his own interests. The writing and the characters are equally reprehensible.

eroticising r*pe and confinement

[collapse]

type novel.

With standard CEO/yandere!ML and average-otaku!MC.

Now that's not the reason for the low review, if we want to talk about the plot, the novel is really about inevitability. A sense of inevitability that the MC changed the plot intending to do good, but essentially walked to his doom step-by-step due to his own choices.

Spoiler

In a way, the novel is saying, "don't try to be a good person cause your ending will suck anyway lul"

[collapse]

So anyway, the only thing I have to say about this novel is, at least it doesn't try to make the MC fall in love with the ML after all the torture/rape/etc.

Spoiler

Truly not sure what statement the author is trying to make here.

Telling us that it's ok to be r*ped/stalked/chased by a crazy dude as long as he's rich and handsome?

The ML never repents for his behavior and the MC isn't strong enough to resist, the end. Lol

[collapse]

Woohoo?

Now the weird peppering of 4th wall breaking / modern mannerisms and colloquial speech in the cultivation world (that nobody apparently comments about) / the endless plot holes (seriously every other sentence in the world mentions the founder of the sect Xu-something and literally the mystery is never resolved or mentioned again) -- basically nothing else can redeem this novel quality (even the supporting cast are pretty simple and lack fulfilling backstories).

For much better worldbuilding, storyline, and similar style angst (but executed a million times better), I recommend [Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being].

I would say the author has a fetish for a specific relationship type and archetypes they had to force the characters into in the end.

The only reason this is 2 stars is because the translator did a good job on the translation. Novel itself was just not worth reading imo. <<less

This is prob my my first review of a novel ever. Because I actually enjoyed reading the novel until the very end.

I thought the story character development was kinda good until near the end.I thought the character development is good because you can clearly see the MC thought process and how he thinks. MC is just trying his best but always end up getting f*ck over. As for the ML it was also understandable how he turn out. I just cannot stand that ending.

my other complain is that it's... more>> not even a love story!? It's prob more of a story of obsession and possessions. I think the most romance you can get is prob the side characters showing hints of crushes to MC but tht about it. The only healthy relationship MC had was with a friend and tht kinda sad tbh. there are moments where you as a reader realize "oh right this happen because the MC did this" but that was kinda thrown out the window near the end. The MC just accept everything????

I mean the ending made a bit of sense but I just feel like an ending like that wasn't satisfying to read. It didn't feel like a HE or a BE. The ending is more confusing. I think it could've been better if
Spoiler

the MC and ML died and cut tht off there. Would've been a way better story that way.

[collapse]

not only was the ending confusing but it kinda gave you the choose your own cannon story?? Lol idk thought tht was kinda weird but Watever.

it was a good read! I genuinely like the story but it became bad :C <<less

The story was okay, the pacing was good and interesting. My sole problem: is this... A love story? (Also, I wouldn't really call this an HE, it's more like a BE that was halfway there to the HE before the author ended the story) I've read my fair share of novels with disturbing themes and questionable moral standards here, so it's not the r*pe itself that bothers me as long as there is some clearing of misunderstandings and proper relationship development afterwards. By the end it seems to me that... more>> their relationship status kind of just abruptly ended at the MC still mentally scarred by ML, doesn't really love ML though cares about ML, while the ML still hasn't resolved his misunderstandings of MC's motives, and is more depravely obessessed than in love. There could have been more development there for the ML and MC to actually understand each other and not have a purely r*pe based relationship at the end, but it's like we're perpetually stuck in the dog blood MC ab*se arc with no s*um ML ab*se and resolution. ML is too self righteous, tbh, and that ending was just strange. The story was pretty good though, I just think it could have been resolved better and been more fleshed out worldbuilding and character wise. <<less

I thought I would be okay reading it, but when I get closer to the end its make me sick and nauseous (I do read the tags and I thought it just a little bit of it and not too much).

At first, its really funny and full of suspense. But as the time goes by, you know... there's no characters development at all and at chapts 60-90+ mostly focus on the r*ape scenes.

Yan Gu and MC really deserve happy ending, for the MC I really want to take him see... more>> therapist. <<less

The first web novel ive read that displays the consequences of r*pe and imprisonment accurately. Top marks in that regards.

The plot was interesting, a bit slow at first but it quickly picked up pace after the "ML" turned 18.

Ending was ... more>>
Spoiler

rather rushed and somewhat confusing with the world hopping going on but it was still a satisfying, if extremely sad ending.

Overall the plot is kind of all over the place and pacing aint too grand but its definitely worth a read if you're looking for something more realistic in this type of "romance". <<less

This novel is okay, but I think the author really couldn’t decide what kind of novel it was supposed to be.

If you’re the type to hate all the things this novel is tagged with, don’t read it. The tags are there for a reason.

If you’re all in for the tags, then you’ll probably be disappointed because it’s really only the last 20 or so chapters.

The last three chapters made so little sense even the tl’er was confused and over it

So it had potential. Like for the first half of it I was like oh this is kind of going places and this is kind of interesting. I love yandere’s and all that but this was a step too far. After I finished it I felt really incomplete because it felt like an April fools joke for the last I don’t know 30 chapters.

Also. Yes I read the tags and all that so I wasn’t not expecting it but I was not expecting the Stockholm syndrome even though it said... more>> it I would thought oh it’s not gonna be that bad yeah it was. I feel like I lost a couple brain cells reading this all the way through but I’m not mad I read it Ive read worse <<less

ML is really obsessed with MC. I don't feel love at all.I really pity ml😭😭.I can't blame MC for things he did. I know he also want to go home.

I mtled all chapters and I don't have any feeling after reading this. Not good nor not bad.

Bad points

👉Too many plot holes

👉No romance or dogfood. If you search for romance, get out of here.

👉No sweetness. MC ab*se ML and then ML ab*se MC.
