Description

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

In a Mary-Sue novel, the readers all liked the Devil Venerable, the second male lead who devoted himself whole-heartedly to the female lead. However the female lead only loved the male lead who ab*sed her physically and mentally.

Readers: Why doesn’t the female lead like the Devil Venerable?!

Devil Venerable: This Venerable also wants to know. But what I really want to know is why I even like the female lead at all.

In order to understand why the female lead wasn’t attracted to him, the self-conscious Devil Venerable brutally interrogated the entire cast of characters from the novel.

Background characters: I have so many things I want to say but I don’t dare to say it to his face!

–

After obtaining the book, the Devil Venerable discovered that the book described the world he lived in. This book said that after he sacrificed himself for the female lead, the fourth male lead, his silent and loyal subordinate Yin Hanjiang, blackened and attempted to kill her as a sacrificial offering for his lord.

Devil Venerable Wenren È: Yin Hanjiang, this Venerable wants to know why you wanted to kill the female lead.

Yin Hanjiang was silent.

Wenren È: If you refuse to speak, this Venerable will cut out your tongue and have it with alcohol!

Yin Hanjiang: …

Wenren È: What the hell are you blushing for?!

It's an okay novel. It's not going to be the first novel I'd recommend to people.
Spoiler

I guess it's satisfying to read something that subverts expectation like Baili Qingmiao getting away from that s*um ML, He Wenchao, but I feel like it's expected since they all are trying to get her away from him for dozens of chapters. I wish there are more Wen Renhe and Yin Hanjiang's moments. I feel like we only see their relationship progressed in the last 20 chapters.

[collapse]
It has a fun idea, decent and predictable execution.

A villain x subordinate/bodyguard romance danmei.

The MC despite being actually called the devil is more like... neutral evil. He is self-serving for sure, but he isn't petty or cruel just for the sake of it.

The ML Yin Hanjiang is the yandere 'shou' but honestly the gong/shou dynamic is very interchangeable between the two. The ML is very loyal and devoted to the MC in almost lethal amounts. Seriously, he would do anything for the MC, sometimes against his wishes too.

The poor FL is honestly too dumb to be dislikeable... she's... more>> just pitiful, and goes through the ringer to get that well deserved character development lol. I don't remember much of the other characters because it's been a while since I read this novel last, but I still wanted to leave a review for my own reminder. I might reread this novel someday and add-on to my review, but yeah for now I only recall that the MC also has other awesome subordinates, and that the original ML (for the FL) is truly a s*umbag, dirt on the bottom of my shoes kind of character. <<less

It's a very fun concept, and it's basically a reverse isekai almost? Personally found it lacking in the romance department (not to be misconstrued with complaining about lack of r18 scenes -- it's shounen ai after all!). Its strength lies in the realistic build up of trust and love with each other. So pick this up if you like reading about everything before ships become canon.

The novel itself was a satisfying read and all the characters were fun on their own, and incorporated into the story really well. Agreeing with... more>> the others that this isn't particularly mind blowing, but definitely worth reading if you don't mind not having papapa scenes! <<less

The most aroace mains I've read about, god but I love Wenren E oblivious ass; very fun in general with all the characters and the other world book starting plot point, an explanation of the cultivation system that I will always remember bc damn that's perfectly dark, and good damn good female charas + plus nails its ending.

Kinda just some fun novel, not a masterpiece but it does what it wants to do really well, and the relationship between Yin Hanjiang and Wenren E was very believable and heartfelt. Plus... more>> a sect full of queer "villains" including our mains, come on xD

  1. I've been reading shounen ai, yaoi and danmei for so long that I no longer have any story to read. So I searched for Danmei and I stumbled upon this story. Reading the synopsis made me some how hooked to the story so I tried giving it a try. After reading it all I can say was IT IS WORTH IT. If you need a sign then this is it. READ THIS.
The world building is well planned out, the characters are not braindead, they definitely have personality which makes them... more>> unique and well worthy to read.

Give the story a try before ignoring it because of the reviews. You'll only know it's worth it if you've read it. <<less

The MC isn’t there to dilly dally at all, he’s straight to the point and doesn’t have any business beating around the bushes. Even though the world views the MC as this overbearing monstrosity, you’ll look to the left and see the ML being rapid. The author is great at making this generally fast paced and interesting, and their relationship of master-servant to equal beings is done well.

This story is amazing!!! It flows very nicely, everything is dealt with fast and perfectly, we have awesome female characters and side characters who are all fleshed out. And the ML (Yin) character development is stunning, how he changes and we get to know more about his personality as the story progresses. His fighting scenes were my favorite as well.

The MC is clever, beautiful and powerful, I loved being inside his head for this journay. 10/10.

I just finished the main story, and haven't started the extras, but my goodness this was an incredible story! The world building was fantastic, the main characters, and side characters were all very well developed and there were so many twists! I seriously couldn't put this story down. There's action, there's comedy, there's even some horror. I'm also very sad that it's now over, but I will definitely reread it in the future.

Keep in mind that this novel is quite a slow burn, but gosh is it worth the wait!... more>> There's just so much depth in this novel, and the translation was very well written. I love the main concept of this novel as well, instead of a character transmigrating into a new world, a book falls into the world and the characters are the ones within the book. I haven't read anything like this, and I've read a lot of danmei, and upon completion, I'd say this is one in my top 10 favourites, if not in my top 5. <<less

Great cast of characters, wholesome relationships, interesting cultivation setting. I would say the main antagonist is a bit whatever but he's certainly dislikeable enough! Overall super satisfying read!

This novel was a fun read. I really enjoyed it. The pacing is not too slow or too fast. I thought it would be a your average danmei but it's not! The characters are all well-written. The world building is *chef's kiss* Even someone like me was able to keep up with the story because everything was explained well! I didn't think I'd like it but I managed to finish it in the span of 3 days (rookie numbers I know, but as a lazy reader, 3 days is very... more>> quick for me!) Anyways, it's a 5 star for me! <<less

Honestly loved the relationship progress Between the main couple and also how they cared for only each other but were very honest and kept the debt of gratitude and learned from each other to grow as people so the character development was very well done. Finished this in two days lol.

An interesting story, but the story is very short, the love can be said to be a slowburn, a love that already exists but takes time to realize.

Of all the cast I like Shu yanyan, Qiu Cong Xue and Baili Qing Miao. They made the story interesting and made me laugh.

The book kept me engaged throughout the chapter. The plot was very interesting, including how everything came together at the first extra (after the ending chapter). Progression of the story in cultivation and relationship was very natural, plus every character had strong non-forgetful odd personalities (Especially the female characters. I love them to death!).

The only downside I had with this book was the later parts when the male leads were going through the past. Well, it's not a bad thing to talk and solve things about the past when story... more>> is about to end, but I was expecting the story to at least have more extras about their private lives after settling together... which was a quarter of the last chapter. *sob* *sob* 4. 5/5. 0 <<less

Pretty refreshing read. It has good comedy but is serious when it matters.

Wenren E's characterization is deep and he is an excellent protagonist for the story. It just sucks that all the other characters lag behind in comparison until the last 10 chapters. The other main characters are often stuck in a one-dimensional brain-dead state for the sake of the plot, which made the story difficult to get through.

The initial plot was really interesting and unique. I read nonstop until chapter 20. But afterwards, the novel felt like a drag and got kind of boring. I skipped chapters in between but made it towards the end and managed to finished it somehow.

I expected a lot of romance but it's more plot than romance. The romance is towards the middlish endish.

... more>>
Spoiler

The romance kicks in when the ML thinks the MC is one of his inner demons and doesn't realize he is the real MC. The ML is drunk and kisses him. From then on the MC decides to observe the ML and understand his true personality since the ML always suppresses his true self in front of the MC.

LOVED IT!!!! Butttttt, why end it there authorrrr? Why not give us mooooorreee? Ah so curious so curious! Hope the author sequels this... It fr needs more.

When it comes to characters, they're all so well developed and fleshed out it's seducing me. The fact that the demonic sect isn't just misunderstood bcs the MCs are from it, and isn't filled with loyal and honoring members who kiss the ground under MC's feet. I love how... more>>
Spoiler

the MC is rather careless about his own death and safety, not even understanding why either would be important when his entire existence is focused on bettering his cultivation and battling people who have to be capable of harming him.

[collapse]
The female charas are all very well written and beloved. Having all the demonic sect higher ranks obsessed with a certain thing -more like hyper fixating on one certain thing- while maintaining wild ambition for that spot which holds the most power was really great.

Ah but really authorrrr, putting yuri bait and having me on you hook every time.... Why not make a 2nd part and stop teasing? How can you mention more realms and the fact that they'll soon ascend yet not give us some snippet to see? How about just making a sequel and show us a little bit? Love the fact you didn't directly state who is gong and shou, which means they're reversible. Truly an enlightened author.

I guess it's always like that, you have to hate great authors a little.

There's itti bitty things that aren't 100% like establishing that love isn't really that permanent or sought after and that dual cultivation isn't frowned upon, yet having the FL suffer thru slutshaming. Even if they are 'the righteous sect' I don't see a reason to have women be required and upheld to the status as virg*n in that sort of society. <<less

Finally, after months, I found another novel that piqued my interest and managed to satisfy my craving. It's not mindblowing--just like what the other people said, but it is a really good novel. I was pretty much able to guess the ending.

Great start, kinda bland second half, and a really great ending. I would definitely purchase an English physical copy if it ever gets one.
