I’m The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

Description

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

Luo Shuyu was pointed out by the emperor’s imperial decree to the third prince Li Mingjin, who had a sinister and paranoid personality. The two had been married for three years. Li Mingjin always treated him with no words and coldly.

In an accident, the two rounded up the room, and Luo Shuyu became pregnant by accident. After he gave birth to a son, Li Mingjin was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and sentenced to beheading. His one-month-old son was dying and he also received a glass of poisoned wine.

Unexpectedly, Li Mingjin escaped from prison, desperately sent him and his son out of the city, and died after blocking arrows for them. No one in the family survived.

Luo Shuyu only realized after his death that he was a supporting role in the novel “After Transmigrating Into a Book Four Big Brothers Are Fighting Into Marry Me “. The cousin from the countryside was the protagonist in the book. He was from the future world and he carried with him the goldfinger so he could hook up with the so-called big men in the book all the way to a high position, and finally got together with the fourth prince he supported and became Wu’s first male queen.

He and Li Mingjin were the villains in the early stage, and they were the obstacles in the way of the male protagonist’s ascent. If he wanted them to die, they would die.

Luo Shuyu woke up and returned to the day when the decree that he and Li Mingjin would married came. Three days later, the man who lived and died with him appeared in front of him and saw that he was still alive, young and handsome. He cried at Li Mingjin. The 18-year-old boy Li Mingjin raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, and said gloomily, “Don’t cry.” Although a bit fierce, his movements were extremely gentle.

I was expecting a little more scheming tbh. This novel ended up being mostly self-indulgent. Pretty much, every time the MC wants to get something done, he will encounter a convenient event that he can take advantage of to do it. Like this, it's not satisfying at all. After all, as a revenge/face-slapping oriented novel, you'd expect it to be a little deeper than that. This issue, and the fact that the couple was established pretty quickly (since this is a rebirth after all, and the ML fell in love... more>> at first sight), made it easy for the story to become dull after a while. All in all, it's not bad? Just not that good either. (OH, as for the TL, it appears to edited MTL and is not always clear. That may play a part in me not continuing after I started running out of chapters LOL).

SUMMARY: The MC, Luo Shuyu, had been hunted and chased down to death by a mysterious party along with his husband and child in his first life. All because of Shen Mingyun, a dense transmigrator with a SYSTEM who doesn't think about the consequences of his actions. The MC and his husband (the cold-faced but warm-hearted ML, Li Mingjin), had not really gotten along well in their first life because of misunderstandings and lack of communication. After being reborn the day the emperor decreed their marriage, the MC decided to fight for a better life for his once-family, and along the way, ruin the person who caused his downfall in the previous life. <<less

quite enjoyable... quite similar to another novel, but the with a system on one side... the characters are likable... the antagonist is not as ruthless, and quite naive and a bit ignorant; he does not even think things through nor does he analyze the situation, and blindly follows the system; at times I felt that he was quite pitiful, so I'm glad that the author was not as cruel when it came to their ending, although it was still sad... it's a bit long, but bearable, though I skimmed through... more>> several chapters as I kept reading... overall an okay read <<less

The author introduced ML (as usual) as cold and ruthless. However, since we read from MC's perspective most of the time, he just appears to be adorable and dorky. I love it!

This is really my cup of tea. If you're looking for stories similar to "The Wife is First" and "The Tyrant's Beloved Empress" then drink up with me 🍵

It's a Regressor vs Transmigrator type of plot. I appreciate MC and ML a lot but the villains are a bit one dimensional. The main antagonist has two braincells and he can't find it until the results of his actions has been served to him on a plate lol.

I admire MC and ML's wits and how they counter someone who has supernatural... more>> advantages. It's a good thing the villain is dumb since it makes it easier, and I also wasn't looking for anything complicated to read so it suited my tastes very much.

Overall I think the lesson I got after reading it was that the main problem tackles the consequences of transmigrating without self-awareness, lack of previous life talent or knowledge, and overly-dependent on "systems". Blindly following without questioning the red flags can lead to one's demise. So if you ever get transmigrated, use your brain first lol.

Heads up to those who wants to read though, the translation posted on here is tr*sh. It's MTLed, a not very good one at that, and it wasn't edited at all. You're better off MTLing the whole novel using Google Translate since it's much better and readable by 90%. <<less

dropping here at ch70 not because the story is bad but because its too difficult to read

The mothman TL till ch 64 was very well done and fun to read. But the other one has small errors scattered and feels a bit flat, but most annoyingly the chapters aren't connected and also split into 3-4 parts. Having to come back to this page to open each new part till 132 chapters is exhausting and annoying.

the story itself is okay, things go weirdly well for MC in this new life but... more>> parts of it are interesting, especially with so many princes and external forces all fighting for control. The ML is a little flat in his internal thoughts but sweet and a devoted puppy to MC. The MC is doing his best with the foreknowledge and trying to figure out how exactly they were schemed against last time and how to win in this lifetime. <<less

A great novel that it still shines through an awkward translation! (TL: My Second Journey)

    • The conflicts flows well and doesn't feel repetitive that you get sick of it.
    • MC and ML wholeheartedly love and trust each other. No misunderstanding that annoys you!
    • NO ML GETTING JEALOUS OR HATING THE BABY TROPE!!!! ML loves his baby as much as MC does!
Overall, overcoming the awkward translations, missing parts/paragraphs in certain places, & inconvenient website navigation, it's a great read! I'll be glad to reread certain parts when there's better translation

➺ 3.5/5 🌟

This reminded me of one of my favorite danmei 'The Wife is First' in terms of second chance love after rebirth. I loved the relationship between the MC and ML, so much sweetness without being cringe and the mutual understanding between the two of them is top notch. Also the communication in their relationship is perfect.

This is pretty simple plot wise and the antagonists are the kinds of characters that are not too smart, actually they're ridiculously s*upid most of the time who, instead of doing their antagonistic... more>> things against the MC and ML, they're just tripping over their own foot. But despite being not the greatest antagonists, they're entertaining to read. They served their purpose.

Because of this, my love of rebirth novels reignited, that's why I'm now on my mission to look for similar novels! <<less

A reborn MC trying to prevent his family's destruction x wife-s*ave ML

Their relationship is full of fluff. The plot is okay. Worth reading if you're looking for a revenge-type novel to pass your time.

Rating 4.5/5

MTL readability: Excellent. Pronouns are still mixed up.

This is a story in which the CP falls in love immediately (this is the second time around, after all) and their relationship is charted through a period of several years. Fluffy and sweet moments are interspersed with mysteries.

This is by no means a perfect novel, but there are several comedic moments and plot twists that made it interesting.

  1. The CP is pitted against a seemingly omnipotent system. This makes victory seem insurmountable.
  2. I enjoyed reading about the antagonist. I know some disliked it. But I thought it was funny. He was a very vulgar, overly confident person.
  3. Spoiler

    The antagonist has a lot of male friends. He cheats on his husband. His husband cheats on him with one of his original boyfriends

    [collapse]
  4. The side stories with the kids are cute.
    Spoiler

    None of them want to be emperor when they grow up, and try to fob the responsibility off on each other.

    [collapse]
  5. Interesting side characters. The ML's mom played against type. She was cold and didn't have any motherly instinct. The emperor was probably the most complex character.
Things I didn't like:

  1. The villain was turned into a straw man-- dumb and arrogant, therefore easily defeated. I guess this had to be done because he had the system and the cards were stacked against the CP.
  2. Some parts were not explained very well. Like the thing with the MC's mother and her family. That was glossed over.
  3. The last side story set in modern times was unnecessary. This was the only time I thought the novel was draggy.

It's feather like novel... The drama doesn't have the angst. So, it was not frustrating to read.

It was also explain why the system choose his host especially. Shen Mingyu character doesn't feel off. It suited in the story, though he is a villain who only depends in his system I can't really say I hated him as an antagonist.

About the fourth prince I kinda like him as a caring father to "shen Mingyu children". But do I forget that he has also other children???

And I think its explain vaguely why... more>> the MC reborn. So it doesnt left me hanging.

I like how the MC struggle to understand the system and shen mingyu personality In order to counterattact and defend their selves against the unknown.

The little theater also ticks my heart. It was sweet and entertaining 😊

all in all.. It was satisfying read.

Have fun reading 😃

I rated it 5stars not 4...

I don't know how to edit. hehe <<less

Good-ish novel with ok-ish translation. Well the translation improves over time.

I kind of like the idea of this novel. It shows that a system is not omnipotent and it even might be really bad for the host. The sharpest tool can't do it's work if the person isitself chosed is dull.

The MC and ML are really nice and give off a wholesome feeling. They respect each other and work together.

... more>> The story started out good but it became somewhat boring and dragged on too long.

If you are bored, this is readable but there are better novels. <<less

The summary got me interested but man it was so disappointing.

Readers who likes smart antagonists, just don't even start this novel you're not gonna get anything not even a speck of it. The antagonist is the kind that "he only wins because he have a golden finger", no brains needed. Considering how low leveled they are, the face slapping is underwhelming. Is the MC smart?? I don't know because he's up against a kid with no brains.

At some point, it feels like the MC only got ahead because he knows... more>> the plot of the original novel. It sounds strange because yes, who wouldn't use knowledge of what they know to get ahead but it feels so forced. As if there are no other dangers outside of the novel plotline. Honestly, if you replaced the MC with another person he would've likewise triumph over the antagonist because of how uneventful the plot is.

The romance is also disappointing. The ML fell in love with the MC so early, way too early that their relationship turned out so bland. It sucks because their relationship progression was the part I was anticipating the most. Like, how would the MC get the ML to warm up to him? How would he dote on the ML in this life? Not much of it was shown because the ML was already interested in the MC from the start. From the summary, I was expecting the ML to be the "cold outside but warm inside" kind of character but he's... not? He's kind of like your typical wife-sl*ve so I felt cheated.

I don't remember why I gave this a 3* because looking back, the only thing I remembered was how ridiculous the antagonist acted. All in all a lackluster novel.

Side note: I would never rate a novel based on the quality of the translation because it is unfair to the author but I'll still have to highlight that the translation for this novel is indeed very bad you might as well MTL it. <<less

I started this out as a lighthearted novel to pass the time. It became much more than that.

This novel although lighthearted would compel you to reflect. This novel doesn't glorify or make the main leads too op.

The characters aren't some hollow words, they have dept. The villains aren't pure evil, they have a cause. They aren't shallow character used to drive forward the plot.

... more>>
Spoiler

I really liked how when Shen Mingyuan's hand trembled when he tried to poison the MC's child. Even if it was for a second, I felt a spark of humanity from him.

[collapse]

The one strong emotion I felt while reading this was powerlessness. Everyone's here is powerless in some sort of way from male leads to the villains and even the system.

Obviously it wad a HE. The villains got punished and everything turned out for the best, as I wanted, yet I couldn't shake off the gloomy feeling when I saw the villains grieving.

Another thing that I liked in the novel was it's balance of power. At the start the villains were too op. It made me doubt as if would the main leads even win, but they exchanged their power with a fair price. It was never a free lunch, it was a give and take.

Lastly the male leads, they we were one of the best! Especially the MC, he wasn't a genius or exceptional but that didn't make him any less unique or lose his charm.

This novel is worth reading once. I wouldn't read it again in near future because the novel makes me think about a lot of deep things, but I would have certainly regretted it if I wouldn't have read it atleast once. <<less

I completely forgot I had read this one before. Just saw a comment and then the whole story came in a flashback.

It's been quite a while since I read it before, I remember liking it a lot as I completed reading it 2 days.

I liked the MC and ML alot and their little ones.

Villain were a bit s*upid, but still felt bad for them to loose their kids.

Thanku author👏

It's good. I didn't feel annoying or feel like want to skip reading. I like the calm MC, and the childish, smug but have a deep mind ML. They are cute together. But I feel the transverser villain is too brainless for Someone who come from the future and have a system. But this setting Charachter indeed fit in this story. So I shouldn't complain

Okay read. It was interesting at first but felt lacking later. Things that would've improved the story: (1) more event details to counteract the 2D feel, (2) better dialogue between characters, and (3) remove 80% of the repetitive bashing of the transmigrator.

Of course, the ending is a happy one for MC and ML.

... more>>
Spoiler

The intro gives the background. MC, Luo Shuyu, marries ML, Li Mingjin, and does his best to protect them from the transmigrator, Shen Mingyun, and his system.

In this life, ML has the emperor's favor and goes north with MC for several years. While there, they build up their power and scheme to take down the other princes.

In the end, ML becomes emperor and MC becomes empress.

SPOILER...

...

SM's system is actually a villain system. The world is a book but the original novel has ML as the protagonist. MC did not exist in the original but was a character in the fan fiction.

[collapse]

Of note: I read the main story and skipped the extras since I'm not emotionally invested in this couple. <<less

Honestly I liked the beginning of the book, and it was interesting at first, but then there was a lot of word vomit about things that didnt really have any effect on the main story.

The main couple really haven't made any 'progress' in 6 years!

I kept reading, hoping it would get better but it didn't!!

Seriously I felt no fulfilment by persevering till the end. The fat shaming was also a huge turn off. Author really started the story with dramatics in order to hook people in, then decided to just... more>> change the story into slice of life with No children!!! <<less

I loved our MC and ML. They are loyal and smart and had teamwork when dealing with the antagonist.

The antagonist is such an airhead millennial who didn't think that everything has a consequence and hardly ever used his brain for anything except scheming so his end was worth it.

The beginning was meh but it slowly picked up momentum after a while.

It's alright if you want something to read, but if you take a break and come back to this novel it feels kind of like you ate something really greasy and you're not sure if you want to start it up again.

While it's decent because it doesn't hurt you, it can be a bit boring. The antagonist (transmigrator) is interesting bc he's really the dumbest antagonist I've ever read. But it's not a compliment... it's really shallow and gives you not alot of satisfaction.

If you want to read something, then... more>> please go ahead and try this novel. The CP doesn't annoy me, they're quite cute and sweet. There's alot of face slaps and conspiracies, it's a silly little story and even the fight for the throne is very peaceful (like their attitudes are very... non-vicious? they're all pretty chill in contrast to alot of other novel charas with the same trope) It's good to past time, but it's not like... a story that sticks out. <<less
