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.

I've read all the tags, synopsis, and a few reviews before diving into this novel. While the story has much potential, it didn't go in a direction that I wished for. While the back and forth transmigration were pretty funny and interesting, I don't see much love here. While one may argue it's a twisted form of love... just nope nope nope to me. Not all elements of the story are bad, there are funny and cute moments which I enjoyed, the story wasn't hard to understand, but how the... more>> story progressed and everything, in the end, makes it a major NO for me. I think one major point that I hoped has blossomed was love, and it didn't... sadly it withered :') Further, the ending is horrendous.

Recommended for you if you want a brainless read that is about yandere characters and potentially "Stockholm syndrome". I don't really see Stockholm syndrome here, just a white lotus style MC.

Reading this burned my brain cells, totally regret I read this. Not my cup of tea. While there are people who enjoy it, this review just serves as a warning to those who might feel the same as me. (Unless curiosity got you and you want to get killed reading it).

EDIT: I looked at the raws and please, the author labeled the characters as such:

Main Character: Qin Kaiyi

Side/Supporting Character: Shen Feixiao

Now I can pretty much say this isn't really meant to be romance or HE. SFX is not even being treated as one of the main characters. <<less

Considering how things went, I'd go for 4 stars at most, but since all the warnings are in the tags, I'll give 1 more star.

!!! READ THE TAGS! READ THE TAGS! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THE TAGS!!!

I can't stress that message more than I already have, if you want to read this without checking the tags and go green by the end of it, then really, you should've checked the tags.

The tags for this novel is accurate, the ML is very scary, very yandere, and the things he did was...... more>> Well, as expected of yanderes.

Personally, this is the kind of dark, twisted stuff that I prefer reading in my darker moods, but please do note that it's not for everyone. The story is well-written, it isn't too confusing despite the cultivation setting (as it does, sometimes, make no sense as things get lost in translation or because it's simply not my culture?) And in a way, I quite liked the ML's honesty regarding his feelings. In a way. Not wholly. Uhm. *Cough*

I gave 5 stars, but I don't recommend this for those with faint hearts or in a sensitive mood, this story is filled with trigger warnings at the end, so please. <<less

I've read the tags and some of the reviews so I'm aware of what's going to happen in the latter part of the story. The ML is a yandere, the one who doesn't care if the MC agrees or not, imprison him, and manipulates him to have no choice but to agree to what he wants. He even use the development of habit to make MC dependent on him. And I admit that satisfied a small part of me, the reason I read the story. And of course don't apply... more>> it to rl. The only thing that bothers me is that they don't love each other, but are codependent and can't live without the other. But overall, a satisfied reader.

And, I ship Ziyang Pei × Qin Kaiyi <<less

Chapter 1 - 85:

Wow, caught my interest, really a psychological novel with heavy tags.

Chapter 86-91:

I REGRET READING THIS. Omg. Im really angry? From 86 onwards it became such a mess? Its as if the author gave up on the plot, on the novel. Very very absolutely disappointing.

Gave 2 stars for the fact that more than half of the novel was good. Lost that 3 stars from the ending and the fact that I cant get over how much I regret finishing this novel.

Ranting time:

Spoiler

I was pretty interested in the novel all the way up till they transmigrate to the real world. I thought that part was interesting still, and was hoping for a happy romantic ending where they fall in love and love each other normally. But what? They brought both of them back? The system betrayed QKY? The QKY and SFX in both worlds still exists? But like only when the other isnt in their world? (Lmao confusing, ik. If yall read it then maybe yall would know what im talking about) im still highly confused and bewildered. Really hate this ending where it isnt even an ending, its just the start of round 2 ab*se for QKY.

[collapse]

Do I recommend it?

NO. Or well, you can read till chap 85 then quit there cuz its good enough.

Is the writing good?

Not bad, but the ending just made me wanna say NO

TRANSLATIONS ARE GREAT THOUGH. Props to the translator for not dropping it lmao if it was me I would have dropped it immediately. <<less

A really nice story and my cup of tea. ML is a crazy yandere, who also confins the MC. But you can not really hate the ml, since his mentally unstability is being described logically in the story. MC is also really likeable.

Suprisingly the story has a little bit of comedic undertone or better to say: the conversations between the MC with the others, escpecially Yan Gu, Zi Yangpei and Wei He, are funny.

While in the majority of the story it has this comedic undertone, in the last chapters it... more>> gets kinda heavier.

I liked also this in the novel:

Spoiler

I also find it really interesting, that some situations are just things the MC has dreamed or imagined. So you get sometimes confused and have to think what was real and what not.

[collapse]

Some people might not like it that the MC and ML openly say that they like each other. Some would even question their love, which is understandable. But the ML was not raised properly and he does not really know how to show his emotions. Even if the ML does not love the MC, the MC is really important for the ml.

And yeah, it has r*pe and so. But keep in mind: it is fictional and some people are okay with some things and some are not. This is totally fine. But before giving the story a bad review you should see the tags and the description. So you have been warned and if you, regardless of all these warnings, continue to read, then you can not really blame it on anyone and only yourself.

And big props to the translator for translating this story! It is also one of the few stories, which I could read again and again.

After chapter 88:

Spoiler

What the hell is going on in the last chapters? Is he still inside the book or is he already back in the modern world? I am really confused.

Like others around here, I didn't check the tags before starting this so from time to time I keep remembering how much I disliked the second half of the story and how much I hated the ending. Tho I did like to until the point where ML grow up, thats where it starts to go down hill.

At least I learned a lesson or two:

1) always take a loop at the tags and reviews;

2) if I see the yandere tag then most probably it's not my cup of tea;

Spoiler

Throughout the later half of the novel, I was shipping MC with Ziyang Pei. So when I found out that MC still ended up with ML (who did some really shitty stuff to MC) in the end, I was kinda mad. It was more of a BE than HE. The end, to me, feels like the MC finally broke down and gives himself up. He never really had a choice, as ML would always find a way to force MC to return to him. The ending seems a bit tragic to me as the MC isn't able to escape the ML and the actual good characters don't really have a HE either.

Also, the ML is basically the villain of this story.

Review:

This is a story I just found earlier this morning and I was able to finish it tonight! Well yes I skipped some but bruh this novel gave me that interest and surprisingly I didn't dropped it! (you see I'm kind of picky when it comes to novel) and it's a story that I actually MTL because I couldn't wait at all! (I'm not a fan of MTL so this is a blast)

To end my nonsense 😂 just read the tags before actually reading the story! ^^

ENJOYYYYYY!❤️ <<less

I haven't finished it, the beginning of the story sounds really interesting but midway, I felt like it was more and more cliché and didn't feel motivated enough to continue to read it... :/

Overall the story is still good and the translators did a great job.

A different kind of Shixiong-Shidi novel-isekai type.

Not for the weak stomach, read the tag first and if you find the theme offensive; this is of course a fiction, there will always be plenty of other stories suited your cup of tea better.

The story itself quite enticing, left some unresolved puzzling ties at the very end, and I honestly have still a bitter taste left, but somehow the situation is too close to reality and that's where it strikes the most.

I put 4 stars but it's closer to 3.5 stars.

First things first, I enjoyed the plot! It's one of the generic MC wants to go home plots after transmigration but it's a piece of cake I'll gladly eat. From the very beginning, MC's absolute want to go home served as a drive to move forward with the plot but also acts as a barrier to the emotional side of things.

But as much as I enjoyed the plot, the ending was a bit weird to me. The entire thing was most... more>> definitely a huge self-indulgent story in romanticizing a toxic relationship between MC and ML. And because of that, I feel the ending kind of suffered because the author tried to mash a good and bad ending together. The biggest reason I feel like the ending suffered was because there was no real growth in concerning the MC and ML.

There was no change and neither of the two characters really had a 'lessons learned' moment to facilitate an emotional growth. Especially when both characters were at an emotional downward spiral I feel they should've overcame.

MC kept his modern mentality failing to adapt to the cultivation mind set of 'survival of the fittest'. And ML was just doomed from the start to never compromise. This lukewarm good-bad end is weird because of how clashing the two mindsets are. No matter how much you want to romanticize a toxic relationship, someone HAS to suffer.

Spoiler

And while MC is the victim of the weird Stockholm situation. Stockholm syndrome implies that the person themself deluded themselves into thinking everything is fine. MC is clearly not because he doesnt delude himself, he gave himself up. That's how it was written.

And with the multiple endings that the author written, I kind of wanted to see what the ML would've felt if he didn't get transmigrated to MC's world. Just to even the odds.

Finished reading it in 3 days, taking into account that I have a full time job and a child. There were no moments when I got bored reading it or wanted a break from it. Really good.

The ending (of the novel) was a little hard... but it's relatable considering the characters' personalities. And the Extras made up for it.

Just read the tags and give it a try!!!

This is definitely a hardcore Yandere😁 A considerate Yandere...I guess?🌝

Anyways, it was an interesting read. I've forgotten some of my feelings towards the earlier chapters, so...

Everything was expected. The ML is smart. The MC tried his best but, alas...😅

... more>> I don't get why the author 'developed' ZP's character cause he was also as horrible from the beginning 🌝

I don't really consider this as a romance. Only the last few BChapters gave some feel likened to it.

The couple shouldn't be allowed to even train a child, wonder why the author even brought a child to the unhealthy mix.

Anyways it was a good read, not without plot holes but just expect nothing else of a Yandere, obsessive love and definitely not a fluffy relationship and READ THE TAGS.

Also, the translators did excellently 👍 <<less

I usually don't write reviews for novels. But, this is first time I feel like I should write for this one. It started off pretty well, with ML as an edgy teenager. For first fifty some chapters he looked normal and his actions believable to some extent. After these chapters ML personality changed drastically, ... more>>
Spoiler

author attributed this change to heart demons. But even after transmigration to MC world with no heart demons, he carried the same personality. Which makes no sense.

[collapse]
and MC who was shown witty at the start turned dumb and damsel in distress. Of course no one rescued him, everyone just trampled on him including ML. There is no redemption arc for ML's animalistic behavior and in fact he justifies his actions. MC suffered and then happily accepted his fate, Stockholm syndrome at its finest. I have read my fare share of novels tagged r*pe and possessive characters but, first time I came across something this disturbing. In short, I regret reading it. ಥ⌣ಥ <<less

So I vomited 2litres of blood reading this, which was what I asked for actually.

There's not much to say, I will mention that there's no pure love or even Stockholm love, but (as far as I understand) entangled feeling of obsession, interdependence, wanting to control, insanity, guilt etc mixed. Physical desire is there tho.

Firstly the main cast of characters, about 5 of them, have a particular fixed thing/person they are obsessed with. These guide their decisions, their character traits.

None of the characters get any improvements at all, at worst, they... more>> become worse because of their obsessions.

ML too.... doesn't actually become better or get any redemption. He just becomes better at cloaking his true nature and enduring a bit more.

Also there seems to be 2 endings actually? I couldnt understand that divergence.

All in all, it was correctly said, "many things were doomed from the very beginning" the characters were victims of their own circumstances, choices and misfortune that they came across each other. Swallowing a bitter pill type ending for main couple, sad endings for others.

3/5 for the writing; I feel the messy- quick but slow plot and overusage of words couldve been written better. Few plot holes, weirdly disposable side characters, not a single proper female character, cast is too limited, Yan gu and Xiu Xian (?) history not explained.

Extra points for the author for not romanticising imprisonment, r*pe and torture :))

Mc's mind's shadow also didn't heal magically by love, nor did his resolve break.

Some personal feelings: my first time reading such dog blood dog sh*t novel, coughing blood and I feel horrible. But this torture was self inflicted I can't blame others. Will go read legendary master's wife for some healing ah. <<less

This was really interesting. It kept me hooked til the end which is surprising since I usually lose interest half way through novels lol. The ML was obsessed with the MC. It didn't even feel like love. Just obsession. And the entire time the MC just wanted to go back home or leave the ML. So make sure to READ THE TAGS. Overall, I enjoyed this novel.

... more>>
Spoiler

The ML and MC didn't have romantic feelings towards each other but it was more like dependence and companionship relationship, mainly from the MLs side. The MC transmigrated into the novel he wrote and has to follow the systems instructions to play the role of the villain if he wants to go back hone. However, he feels bad for abusing the ML and goes undercover as a masked man and helps the ML. The ML falls for the masked man and finds out that the MC who keeps pushing him towards death is the same masked man.

The entire relationship between the two of them is basically the ML running after the MC and finally catching him and imprisoning him. He imprisons him until they both end up dying in the novel the MC wrote. Then the MC goes back to his original life in the real world and gets a job at a company. The company belongs to the MLs father. The ML retains his memories from the novel and recognizes the MC. He starts pursuing the MC again and they start living together like roommates. After some time passes, the MLs passionate love kinda dries up and is now more of a companionate relationship where he wants to stay with the MC forever even if the MC loves him or not. Anyways, the MC grows used to having the ML around him and taking care of him for two years and when suddenly the ML disappears, he feels like he can't function. He calls the ML to come back home. The ML confessed his love but the MC doesn't give a straight answer about whether or not he lives him back cuz the ML did a lot of stuff like imprisoning him and raping him in the novel but is rlly sweet to him in the real world. In the end they end up making out without the MCs answer. The ML and MC adopt a kid. Initially the MC didn't want the kid but he ends up loving him.

I thought it would be pretty much the same as the "villians self saving system" but over all it is completely different.

The MC is s*upid to say the least you would think his brave, considerated and a good person but he really just wants to go home and does whatever he needs to do with conviction an not with a bottom line, I mean he "doesn't kill people" but then he did kill someone and that's it, he just skips what isn't convenient.

The ML on the other hand is completely... more>> insane he doesn't even like the MC he doesn't like him at all, when MC asks, he can't think of even one thing he likes about him wich is hilarious and sad, but overall is ridiculous even more so in the extras cuz he doesn't even have a reason to be the way he is, he's not traumatized he's just crazy and MC just decides to be with him. Like ok weirdos...

On the other hand it's pretty well written, the translations are great on the plot just goes well for the most part, it's a bit rushed at the end because well it doesn't make any sense at all but it's quite passable.

If you like BLS cuz the romance and love, the fluff or the s*xual tension between enemies, then this is NOT for you, this is pure NSFW without the smut and pretty superfluous plot, you'll be fine if you like kidnappings and worthless people who r*pe their "loved" ones. <<less
