I won't vote because although I didn't really enjoy it, I'm sure some people will.

Idk, every chapter is only about a powerful ML pampering a previously-discarded FL. There's basically no struggle from beginning to end.

Very disappointing, and everyone is s*upid. I hate all characters interaction and how everyone suddenly LOVES gossiping and talking behind people back. NO ONE, AND I REPEAT NO ONE DOES SIMPLY MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS. Yeah, I know people do gossip IRL, but it's definitely not to this level. Lastly, that s*upid Zhang deputy made me know this novel will be completely disappointing if the 'antagonists' are that level of intelligence. As for the 'Female novel protagonist' I don't even consider her anything in this novel.

This story is quite average for this gengre. IT is fine to read so if you'r not pick go ahead and read it.

I think it could be more interesting if you aoccasionally saw a bit of the MC's personality shining through or see him struggling whith personal baggage which is beyond whatever is happening.

All of the conveniently opportunities for faceslapping while making the MC and his partner look whitewashed are a bit too frequent and sometimes dramatic and sometimes they stretch the imagination a bit beyond belief. These are small... more>> thinks that all come togeather to form a feel-good generic story. <<less

Tgis is one I’ve been waiting for!!! Quick transmigration novel with male MC! I fell in love with the story from the first chapter!!

I really like the premise that the mission is given based on someone’s regret and I hope I could see what kind of life the transmigrator originally lived.

3 stars. Solid read, entertaining enough

This is a QT story where the MC fulfills the hosts' desires. The host was a scummy as*hole a lot of the times, so time had to be dedicated to white washing their characters.

I read this over an extended period because it was just a nice way to dip into other worlds occasionally. The arcs are not linked at all, with no through-line. I wouldn't say that there's romance, per say, but he does have wives and girlfriends sometimes. The antagonists are 1D, making the... more>> most OTT ridiculous actions.

Read for a mindless story to get you away from whatever else is going on. <<less

I agree with everyone suggesting skipping the first arc, it was so bad that I blocked it out until I read the other reviews. I wonder if the author switched editors after that arc because the rest of the novel is better

I thought the story ended abruptly, the last arc felt like it was part of a different book because the ML didn’t affect the story much. And the reality arc at the end was too short to give closure

Recommended, just skip the first arc

You can literally treat this as a novel of a bunch of short stories. Some short story are meh, while others are decent, and some quite good.

The ones that sucks will always be the one with your least favorite settings/genre. For some, this may as well be the first two arcs, thus dumping the novel with low ratings.

My favorite ones are always the comedy ones, such as chapter 60~69 arc which was hilarious with the trolling.

This novel really worth the read. Every arc have the most tragic cannon fodder, and MC except the mission with clever plot, reforming the bad with love and hard love and give the most loving life the most of the tragic fodders. Giving them a perfect ending. The summery of each arc were explained throughout (enough being it’s own story) then MC change the outcome giving the mission last wish or systems tasks. There’s some plotholes, but it’s still passeble.

what I like most were the story mostly narrative from... more>> the “targets” or others characters pov. There’s not much monologue from the MC. He just assumes the role and “works” his charms and saves those fodders, and usually females fodders. But mostly all monologue were from others. MC golden finger were, he is extremely intelligent, cunning, genius in almost everything. Almost all his tasks the fodders / villains have a very tragic life, so do prepare tissues when reading some arcs. Oh and every arc can be actually read as an independent story, no continuity or mystery behind each arc. Only at the end you will have a glimpse of MC background but it’s really very brief and feel like open ending movie end which kinda suit this novel.

Anyway for me it’s a very good read for me, the author style (and grateful of good translation) the story is quite smooth and the author sometimes very cheeky, sometimes humorous, sometimes really heartbreaking writing makes this novel a recommend read. Thank you <<less

I rarely read a novel with ML as protagonist but I decided to read this one because I smell many face slapping moments (which I like) from the description and I was right.

Like other QT novel, this story had many arcs and several arcs in this novel were quite interesting so I didn't feel boring even though each arcs were quite long. ML always had a way to turn the situation into his favor. I also like his skill of brainwashing talking whether to his opponents or allies.

But if you... more>> liked ML who only devoted to one FL, maybe this novel wasn't for you because in each arcs, ML ended up with different FL. Even sometimes, there's no FL at all...

Spoiler

... including in the real world where he didn't end up with anyone until an old age.

[collapse]

The romance between ML and FLs also felt so dull although ML treated them well because I could tell that ML was acting loving throughout the story. Well, it's also understandable though since ML treated those worlds merely as a mission. At least, those women really lived a happy life with ML until they died. <<less

This novel relates the bad life of the villains and the happy life of the good guys. The other aspects are largely ignored. So lots of destroying ennemies and plotting and a bit of fluff with heroine.

MC is cunning, I love reading about him tricking people. And he's always so nice to heroine, it's sweet.

Good stuff to pass time relaxedly. I laughed a lot at the shamelessness.

This guy just be serverhopping.

I just finished the first arc and it was just an Eh. It could of been a lot better. This novel is okay if you want to waste time, but I recommend that you find another novel because this is not a really fun novel, it's a somewhat depressing read. Oh well, It's just an okay novel.

......

Just got to the second arc, It's okay. Not too good, not too bad.

......

Third arc seems somewhat similar to the first, surprisingly.

i had read this before but I lost my place in this story. I like how the arcs are more in depth though I have noticed that these novels have similar s*um male history lol. But hey I am not bored of it yet like the assassin transmigrating into the body of a waste or whatever with the female trope. The translation and grammar is very good with little mistakes so it makes binge reading this really nice. I will reread this when I have the chance since I have... more>> read so many stories my mind is a little bit confused haha.

Ahhh. I remember now. The most recent arc as of April made me really sad The Devil of the Entertainment Circle. A bit of a trigger warning for those that cant stand ab*se. It is a somewhat fluffy story in my opinion. I like it and no one can change my mind haha. If you dont like the first arc you probably wont like this story but that's your right :) <<less

I agree with the other reviewers. Arc 1 was a waste of time, it actually almost made me drop the story because it was so mf boring. Thankfully, I remembered the reviews so I skipped around a bit. The next arc are definitely better, there's some other bad arcs for sure, but you can just skip it since you don't really miss any important information.

That leads to my next point. We know absolutely nothing about the MC. Except that he's a really good actor, manipulator and also really intelligent. He's... more>> OP, basically. Nothing goes wrong for him. He's basically just a vehicle for the plot.

Overall, this is a good popcorn story. It's good to read between big and quality stories. It's very boring and repetitive otherwise. Some arcs were very interesting though. <<less

So I feel like one arc is missing from this book. It is the arc where he was in the body of a doctor, and his wife or the female leads father was the director of the hospital and he also operated on his father-in-law.

Can someone tell me if I got it wrong it's been a while and maybe my memory is wrong.

Spoiler

"Gifted Scholar" in the "Third Place Scholar" arc meaning the MC can do anything although we haven't see all of his abilities we can assume that he can do anything base on the way the novel is progressing

[collapse]

This is just a power trip novel meaning the MC will always win, if you like novels where MC always win and never have a struggle this novel is for you, even though there's some part that's not realistic or something just read past it lol because no matter what the MC will win.

I rate it 3 because this novel is right up my alley it's a perfect turn off my brain mode novel lol. <<less

An op male protagonist with no set female counterpart shamelessly completing his tasks. Each arc was quick (in comparison to the other QT I've read) and contains no heart twisting dog blood drama. The MC does not always transmigrate into the young handsome male lead. Sometimes he's a father, sometimes he's a grandfather, and in the last arc he's a cat. The only thing that bugged me a little was how easy it seemed for him to sleep with the female partner buy otherwise it was an easy and light... more>> read. <<less
