Description

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

Lu Deng is not a cannon fodder himself, but his mission is to save the miserable cannon fodder.

A businessman who lost in a business game. A teenager who kept silent under school violence. The actor whose road to fame was ruined by cyber violence. An unknown man who was misunderstood until the day he died.

There can only be one protagonist in every world, so fate hides in the corner sending its cold tent**les toward the innocent.

Some people stay silent, some choose to compromise, some are unwilling, and some are fulfilled.

There should always be someone to hug them.

So Lu Deng went to hug.

But then the people would not let him go.

[Lu Deng: That… Have you hugged enough? QAQ]

To me, it starts out interesting. The fact that our MC isn't taking over a host in each world but rather being a new character he can decide the personality of. (It's on page 1 so I don't think that counts as a spoiler).

Also the fact that ... more>>
Spoiler

the trauma from arc one doesn't poof disappear, but still effects the MC in arc two

[collapse]

And I love when there's little drama between the main characters.

Hmm. Didn't notice on the first read, but on the reread a comment from another reader caught my attention and made me think.

Spoiler

In arcs one and two, the bell and the wooden necklace are given decent significance. Suddenly in arc three the necklace is never mentioned, and the bell only mentioned as a joke by someone not the main characters. And MC suddenly has a fear of people that wasn't mentioned in the earlier arcs, even places it should have been. So my conclusion is... arcs one and two are from a different draft of the story than arc three. It definitely reads like the same characters, but the few inconsistencies is what makes me think this.

[collapse]

There's also a little of a weird thing at the end of arc 8
Spoiler

where suddenly they mention brothers in the main world? Wasn't that from the last arc? All the backstory we heard before this was that Lu Deng was an only child... And the sudden 'can apparently go back to previous worlds' thing... they're forever going to buy sweets from the interstellar world?

This is a junk food novel, not much to it and will give you cavities. The beginning arc was great, even if it was a little hard on the heart, the fluffy 2nd arc was a nice a follow up, but then it goes downhill.

The author wrote the first arc very well and the 2nd arc, though not as good as the first, still had some quality and gave the heart some needed sugar after the first. From the 3rd arc on the story and the character set ups start... more>> to become muddled and there was a drop in quality. It felt more like the author was just trying to turn out chapters with out much thought.

It does have it's very sweet moments and there were times I was smiling like an idiot at parts, but it didn't have that must continue read feel to it for me. Maybe it was too repitative.

I may come back and read the 2nd half of the book later as I don't hate the novel, but for now I'm giving it a break.

The first translator and second translator did really good, haven't read from the third yet so can't comment. <<less

What I love about this novel is that compared to other QT genre novels, MC and ML felt a little bit more human.

The ML is not the type to be overbearing, he knows how to control himself and show emotion. He has weaknesses that made him so vulnerable that you'll get sad just reading it, and the posibility of him losing is high, not the almighty type where in with just a snap of a finger he can control the situation. And I like that very much.

The MC as well.... more>> He's not revengeful nor dumb, he's clever and quiet. He focuses more with relaying his intention through actions. I can relate to how he do things (except maybe, with how he interacts with the ML, which is very cute btw). I also like how he's not the type to be cold to everyone, and only acts like one when the situation calls for it.

The system is also very adorable, always showing concern to the host's safety. He's always on guard against the ML, thinking ML will do something to its host.

Lastly, I like how the main characters trust each other. They know how to rely on each other, and show care of each other. They know each other's weakness and adjust theirselves for each other's sake. Somehow, they'll do anything to secure their partner's safety.

Anyways, to end this, if you want to read a novel thas has no toxic relationship, and is very heartwarming QT genre, then I suggest you read this.

Also, everything I wrote here is based on my opinion. <<less

Edit: reading the 2nd arc now and it's even cuter! Ahhhhhhhh!! 🙈🙈🙈 Goddamn! It's only the first arc but I cried so much from the sufferings of the MC & ML! And I giggled so much from the fluff! This is an endearing novel. Though I didn't like the MC's slightly robotic personality in the 1st arc, the ML was excellent 🤩🤩🤩 (at least in the first arc). He's sweet, not overbearing or yandere, but genuinely loving. I hope the quality of the arcs continues to be this good. The translation... more>> team has changed a few times but all of them did a good job. Kudos to the current translation team at Chrysanthemum Garden for their excellent translation quality. I recommend this to anybody who likes QT BL novels. The MC, ML & the overall setting is slightly different from regular QTs. But I'm sure you won't get bored. ^_^

P.S. My original score would be 4.25 but I wanted to boost it up since there's only one arc right now. <<less

If this novel is a person, it would be a person exuding warmth, enveloping you in a big bear hug in the most comfortable way possible, leaving you with a giddy feeling.

These are the most prominent points that I particularly like:

  • Most novels explain world-building only in the final chapters. However, this novel doesn't do that. As the story progresses, the world-building becomes more clear as well. I love that, it makes matters clear and just enjoyable to read overall.
  • Unique and varying arcs. My favorite arc has to be the first one. Yes, it's only the first arc and it already got me hooked! It was so, so, so bittersweet. Unlike the overbearing and forceful MLs most novels have, Gu Yuan is a big ol' soft teddy bear. MC and ML really do love each other. I'm freaking tearing up right here.
However, there are also some points that don't sit well with me:

  • Despite the novel being about MC 'saving' ML as cannon fodders, it didn't feel like he was doing anything...? The way the author portrays the MC is like he's idling around and not doing much to prevent these cannon fodders from dying.
  • Some arcs are underwhelming. Some left me feeling 'huh, that's IT? THAT'S THE CLIMAX???'.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read!!! I'm sending many thanks to the translators for introducing... more>> this beautiful novel to me. *wink* *wink* <<less

Very, very cute and heartwarming!✨

The settings MC works in is more on the plotline's side story, centering on a side character who helps spark the main plot, but was always understated and ends miserably. To sum it up, it's about how an introvert cub while working to be a good golden finger, or a nice god mother got attached to the big guy who does good things, but got miserable ends. (AKA MC's mission target to be backed, Mr. Cannonfodder!~) ​

As the little guy help Cannonfodder-san from jumping into the... more>> pits voluntarily or helplessly. We watches as MC slowly changing into a better, stronger person (mentally, as he's super strong physically, so much that ML hurts his waist pftt. So pitiful, LOL.) ​

Ps. Although the conflict in the middle part of each worlds during which MC and ML are avoiding pits, the scene got prolonged a bit too long that I'd feel lazy if I'm the translator, but--- overall I was satisfied with it!

This is a good fuwafuwahaha, try it!✨✨✨👍👍👍 <<less

Withholding rating until I come back to this. I honestly mostly enjoyed this, as I love the QT genre and enjoyed this type of MC and ML relationship.

But I found myself putting this down a lot and rarely abandoning myself in the book (which I usually do lol).

I wouldn't say it is outright boring, because it is entertaining in most parts. I was even moved to tears in certain scenes. I loved the arc with the 12 bros and the dad.

Recommended for those looking for something light, with pretty short... more>> arcs that end quite quickly, with ok background characters <<less

Solid QT story. Slightly on the more simplistic side to be a favorite but was very enjoyable.

Arcs are shorter than last QT I read (beautiful strong and miserable) but there are a couple longer arcs. Since they're shorter, there's a lot more variety. Some of the combinations are somewhat generic but some are more random lol like the actor x his paparazzi or the immortal cultivator x his heart demon. Who would have ever chosen his heart demon to save him? When the MC randomly became the heart demon he... more>> was also dazed for a bit.

Here the MC tends to be the stronger one due to his previous experiences and his original body. However, sometimes his body in the small worlds has to be deliberately weakened to a normal human, but he's usually still quite strong due to his instincts, just limited by his weak physical body. Pretty interesting dynamic, but that's what makes it possible for him to be the one saving the cannon fodder all the time.

There is character growth for the MC, but it's either not that much or the author doesn't effectively exhibit it. Personally I never knew about the MC's trauma until like... arc 3? I thought the MC was acting very normally in the first two arcs. In the first arc he was not nervous at all about his spontaneous actions to save the ML, who was still a stranger at that point, or interactions with him. In the second arc he was a teacher and was even able to interact with many students and peers at once. It was only in later arcs that the MC started showing trauma around people and nerves in that sense. Felt a bit late for that.

Anyway ignoring various plot holes or shallow character growth, the story is pretty fun. The MC and ML show obvious love for each other even while the ML has amnesia. Very warm and comfortable romance. <<less

Words can't express just how much I love this novel! It's so heartwarming and always brings a smile to my face! This novel should be read for the romance between the MC and ML.... more>>
Spoiler

They get together in the first arc and you can see them develop. In my opinion, the fact that they got together early doesn't take away from the story at all. They still have lots of baggage to get through and you can see how their relationship grows and develops

[collapse]

To the people reading, I recommend reading this on Chrysanthemum Garden, since the translations are a lot better (in my opinion) than the ones linked here. I couldn't get past reading the first few chapters, but I found this on Chrysanthemum Garden and was able to continue with no problems.

Next, only read this if you're interested in reading lots of fluff. Throughout the many arcs, the center stage is the romance and interaction between MC and ML. I love this in that you can see how they fall in love and how their relationship develops They're so cute together.
Spoiler

The first arc has a lot of action in my opinion, but the second arc has so much amazing fluff.

[collapse]

There have also been complaints about how the MC isn't doing his job correctly. I disagree, since you also need to consider the situation the MC finds himself in. For example, in the first arc MC has a very weak body and ends up being constrained by it at times. He also doesn't go into the world with complete omnipotent knowledge. Since the person he's protecting is cannon fodder, he literally has to draw his own conclusions with the very limited info he has. He also does his job without being extremely invasive regarding ML's business, which is seems a lot more preferable than the other option (sticking extremely close to ML at all times).

He also acknowledges that he can be the ML's weakness, because no matter how capable MC is, he is still vulnerable to things like weapons. He has a deep trust and understanding with the ML and does what ML tells him to do in serious times.
Spoiler

For example, when they're being chased by people trying to kill them, ML hides them, tells MC to get out of the car, and MC does without any complaints, and then the ML continues getting chased. It turns out ML had his own plan regarding it and was able to survive just fine. If MC had insisted on staying, he might've caused even more trouble bc the ML's contingency plan might not be possible for two people.

[collapse]
I honestly really like the MC in these cases.

One of my favorite parts of this is all the characters shown here. The ML is amazing and has so many emotions and actually seems very real, the MC is also the same. Someone said that they were 1-D or 2-D and bland, but I don't see that at all??? Their interactions are always so heartwarming and the romance is so on point.
Spoiler

For instance, the second arc doesn't really have much conflict, but I find it stunning in how both the MC and ML's personalities shine through. The portrayal of the ML in those chapters had me in love, and their pairing seems so real.

[collapse]

This is flat out one of my favorite romances in the novels I've read. They also aren't op at all, and MC isn't some kind of naive idiot, nor is he a Gary Stu (seriously, I don't understand some of these reviews at all)

The protagonists in the worlds they enter are also actually fit to be protagonists and actually have brains (unlike in many other novels). From what I've read, the side characters are honestly treated well, and I find the system adorable. It obviously cares for MC while being a newbie to its job. <<less

Rating: 3.6/5

This novel is pretty straightforward. There are no mysterious secret identities, no hidden backgrounds or hidden agendas. So you can read this with your brain turned off.

There is no real tension, big challenges or real danger either. They would return to the system space if they passed away in a mission world so you get kinda blasé about any threats if there were any at all.

All the missions went smoothly whether because of plot armor, the coddling of the MC's golden finger relatives and system who don't mind bending... more>> the rules for the their precious baby MC. Basically, the MC is a huge Gary Stu who while not s*upid, lacks a bit of common sense and EQ, but still succeeds at everything since everyone coddles him, ML included. In fact, the ML probably coddles him the most to the point that at times you forget that the MC's task is to save the ML cannon fodder and not to distribute dog food.

Generally, you can't take this novel seriously. There are a good number of plot holes and unrealistic aspects be it in human behavior or settings that I consciously had to overlook. Most if it can be summed up to be due to the MC's Mary Sue halo.

That said, it feels like the novel's only purpose is to entertain and to feed the reader dog food. The plot moves fast and the relationship between the main CP does, too. In fact, I have no idea how the two fell for each other so hard and so fast. It's a whirlwind romance like Romeo and Juliet where they fell for each other fast and would go through hell for the other. I, as a pessimist/realist when it comes to romance, am confused and amused by the unrealistic relationship progress.

The MC acts like a newborn chick that has imprinted on the ML, the first one outside of family who treated him with unconditional care and affection. Him being constantly described as pure, obedient, quiet and untainted from worldly affairs as well as being called a child/small animal makes me often forget that he isn't a child being groomed by an adult. It didn't help that he had no idea about kissing and s** in the beginning.

Luckily, the ML is not of the creepy kind, although a bit fatherly. He dotes on the MC, coddles and takes care of him. I would consider him a green flag. However, it still feels like an adult dating a minor, despite the "minor" actually being of age already.

I struggled a bit finishing this novel, especially at the saving the manager arc. The Mary Sue halo was way too strong there and the MC's actions started to annoy me a bit. No idea why. But I am glad that he got less annoying after that. <<less

This novel deserves 3 stars in my opinion.

The aim/goal of the MC was very interesting and unique to me which made me want to read it.

However, the story was really boring to me. It took me much effort to go through arc 1 and finish it as it was really slow paced; the action/danger was very lacklustre imo even when MC was trapped in a poisonous underground cave (or whatever you want to call it).

I thought that maybe I would get to see more action in other arcs or at... more>> least comedy or drama but I didnt so it felt even more tedious just to get through each chapter (even making me wonder when I would reach the end so that I coyld move on to something more exciting) which I don't think would be the mindset you want a reader to have.

I will admit that the romance is very fluffy, cute and adorable. I really liked the ML because he was just really like a gentleman and treated MC very respectfully and equally.

MC is a bit dull and not as interesting to me but he's passable.

The world building is just backdrop for their romance so don't expect much plot.

Overall, it's a light read for when you just want to heal yourself from some heavy angst or something. Reading this to relieve your boredem probably isn't the best tho. <<less

I really liked the first two arcs of the novel, but from the third one onwards it just became dull and boring. The MC will transmigrate into the body of a minor "villain" character and the ML will magically trust MC with his life the moment he looks at MC's face. Because of how big and shiny and pure his eyes look.

... more>>
Spoiler

First arc: a student ✔

Second arc: a teacher ✔

Third arc: a spy sent from an enemy organization to monitor the ML's actions. The ML willingly invites the MC into his home/safe haven❓

Okay, maybe this is still understandable since even if the ML drives the MC away the organization will just send another spy or find another way to monitor him.


Fourth arc: a paparazzo robbing ML in front of his house. The ML willingly goes into the car and drives them to a hotel when he finds out the MC can't drive. And he checks them into the same room and they end up sleeping together❓❓❓

And when MC buckles his belt, gives him an eye mask, takes pictures of him and even makes him breakfast in the morning the ML doesn't question it at all? When he had extremely bad experiences with the paparazzi his whole life? I know the ML has instincs from the previous worlds but this is just too much for me.

[collapse]

You will like this novel if you like mindless fluff, but it's not the best novel you can read if you're here for the plot. Don't be deceived by the quality of the first two arcs. It only goes downhill from there. <<less

I liked this novel the first time I read this, but temporarily dropped due to translation site problem.

Now that I picked it up again, I found it boring, unnecessarily tedious and repetitive to read.

How tedious? The fact it took several paragraphs to describe how much ML admired MC's eyelashes bored me. And whenever their hands touched, ML practically went into a state of euphoric word vomit just to express how soft and delicate MC's hand was.

Don’t read this if you’re very depressed. It will go either of two ways, it makes you happy reading about their simple exchanges of love, or it makes you avoidant of reading further because it reminds you of your misery. The story overall: I’d say it’s still a 4/5. I can understand what people say about their love being rushed. While it does sort of just start off fast with their development, I’d like to chalk it up to the fact that both characters are somewhat devoid of love in... more>> their pasts and together become very easily infatuated which leads them to this sort of incomprehensibly unparalleled love that transcends their world-hopping. Is it all that realistic? No. But it’s fiction, and once you get over the initial discomfort (for me, my overwhelming depression making this a hard read) with either your own suspension of disbelief or the emptiness it brings to read fluff sometimes, it’s very eloquently translated and is beautiful in the sense that it’s a bit idealistic in the nature of their “love”. But again, if the author says they love each other incomparably, then they definitely do, even if it’s not entirely fleshed out the way some people want. This is a very peaceful read regardless, lol. <<less
