Jiang Xunyi had transmigrated into a book many years ago, and always tirelessly maintained the requisite accomplishments for a villain.

After finally completing the ultra-difficult task to allow the male protagonist to kill him, an OOC warning appeared out of the blue..

Error in the actor’s lines, the character role has collapsed, the assigned task has not yet been completed, opening the Rebirth System!

So, he gloriously became… a second idiot son about to be sent to his death.

Lazily idling away the days after changing his identity, he noticed a world-changing difference.

His best friend, the male protagonist, Yun Xie was actually secretly in love with him? Are you kidding me?!

Honestly this novel supreised me in a really good way, it checked marked every dynamic I love in a couple:

  • childhood friends
  • bickering couple (who sometimes wrestles, basically they are both prideful brats)
  • the gong who tried at every turn to show his love only for the dumbass shou to be all like "you're my best friend"
Not only that, but the fact that the MC in the beginning... more>>
Spoiler

is dead and then rebirthed, and although he was doing it all so he could return home he still felt hurt by ML stabbing him made him very humane to me, especially because as mentioned above they grew up together and fought a lot of battles together; so eventhough MC expected and was waiting for ML to kill him he was still hurt, after all they spent went through a lot together

[collapse]

The side characters were also very endearing, I just wished the female characters to be a bit more loved or fleshed out atleast, until where I am at, there is only one good female character
Spoiler

the other two females that were introduced was the girl that MC (supposedly) r*ped who liked ML, that turned out to be a fake white lotus who eventhough had no feeling towards MC still liked that (in her own words) "such and outstanding man was chasing her", the other woman that appeared was the elder who tried to seduce (or more like sexually harassed) MC but failed, and instead og giving up became bitter and sour that he rejected and so ruined his reputation

[collapse]

The MC has to be my favorite type of MC, he's the type who is hard on the outside and very softhearted inside, in other words, he is a sweetheart. Although he is not a white lotus, just compassionate towards the people who treat him well while mantaining his pride. Basically MC and ML are oposites; ML looks very approachable but keeps everyone ate a distance, while MC is cold looking but amiable.

Anyway, 10/10 reccomend this story for how great it is. <<less

Ah, this is good, finally I read the story where the MC didn't immediately fall in love with the protagonist (ML), and also walked slowly without hurrying. And MC also did not stall for time when ML expressed his feelings. And also the MC is very consistent in doing the assigned task even though in some parts he doesn't want to. It's rare to see a dedicated MC like this. I also really like other characters (apart from MC and ML), even though this world only revolves around ML because... more>> ML is the center.

I was sad when I learned the reason Jiang Xunyi (MC) was sent to that world. I'm also like him, from childhood until now he's been sick, he's weak and has PTSD. But I'm grateful to have parents who never tire when they take care of me. Jiang Xunyi was also lucky to have Yun Xie, Jiang Malou, the sect head and others because they loved him.

The translator is also very good, thanks for the hard work. <<less

Ok. I ADORE Moxiang Tongxiu's works - the best out of hundreds bls so far.

And this novel is *Grandmaster* storyline with a different characters.

Anyway... I can't help but love it!!!

╮ (︶▽︶) ╭

The story is smooth and eye-catching. Especially the dialogs and feelings - they seem real to me.

P. S. with hope : have read half so far. Will it follow the grandmaster line till the end?? If you know what I mean

What I've enjoyed:

So far, this story carries the hint and flavour of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, but that's not a bad thing, unless you're looking for something totally different. While I'm normally not a fan of flashbacks (two so far), the way they're done works well within the framework of the story, and makes for a good read.

The world building is solid, interesting and well thought out, without being overly complicated. Commenting as a native English speaker who relies on translations - an easy to follow Sect/Political situation/Hierarchy with clear... more>> plot points is a delight.

While the intrigue behind the main plot line has yet to be revealed and the relationship between the MC and ML has yet to develop a deeper romantic element, the poignancy of Yun Xie's obvious leanings give all the feels. I'd love to read the rest of this story, as while it doesn't bring anything truly new to the table, the pacing, GMC of the characters, plot and romance are well thought out, without getting bogged down under extraneous action/side plots like a lot of other stories. Brisk pace, lots of interactions and insight into the MC and ML make this a worthwhile read.

Criticisms:

I'm not going to critique the author's craft or writing skills. I'm a professional writer and editor irl and I could nitpick for days, but I'm reading a translation from a culture not my own so I don't feel qualified to speak to this area in any depth. Therefore my comments will be limited to minor observations...

This is not a plot heavy story, the world building isn't as detailed as other works, and there are quite a few cliches. Jiang Xunyi seems to undergo a shift in character which I found a little jarring. He seems initially flippant/light hearted/fun, but becomes grim/unsmiling, while Yun Xie's character does the opposite - unsmiling/grim to (on the surface) easygoing/lighthearted. This left a sense of dissonance for me.

Sometimes it seemed that story threads got abandoned and the transition between dreamscapes/real world wasn't clear. This could have been due to something getting lost in translation despite the lovely translators doing their best to stay true to the original work. I think someone who has read the original would need to weigh in here.

Initial translator was excellent. Most recent translator is doing an awesome job despite intimating they'd like someone to pick up translations. <<less

Translation is top notch, story so far is fantastic as well.

The MC is super competent and powerful, on par with the ML, which is quite rare. They were also childhood friends/sworn brothers before the misunderstanding (s) that screwed things over, so their banter, familiarity with each other, make for very strong dialogue and interactions. I especially appreciate a complex and well-written romance. The silent understanding and regard these two best friends have with each other is just so warming and enjoyable to read.

Their dynamics remind me a little of Founder... more>> of Diabolism (which is a big complement) so give it a try! <<less

I love the uke's personality. He is not like the others where there are always that love at first sight thingy. I also like how dense he is haha. Poor the seme though.

Spoiler

He was forced to kill the one he loves for many years.

[collapse]

But overall (as of what I read), the story is very interesting and very recommended for those people who wanted a clever and dense protag at the same time. This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I got into reading danmei over a year ago, but I'm quite certain this story will remain for a long time (if not forever) in my top five; it's currently competing with s*um Villain's Self-Saving System for the first spot right now.

The summary scared me witless and the only review at the time cemented my fear. The idea of the 'system' restarting the plot/story over and over due to unscripted events and feelings-how could that not be a tragedy? Well I should have looked at the tags first : no... more>> tragedy! Phew.

Getting to the story: yes, another transmigration fic. But wait, what's different here? For me my favorites would have to be the characters, their interactions, and the clear devotion/bond between the two.

I've only read danmei Chinese novels, and this is the first MC I've encountered who isn't a straight out good-guy:

Spoiler

MC doesn't mind killing people if they insult him, is really arrogant and proud about his looks and strength/power.

And yet... after the system dumps him in another character who isn't at all part of the plot or expected to be a 'good guy', he automatically plans to save not just his own skin, but the others in trouble. Could be because one person in the group was nice to him, but I doubt his actions would be different elsewise. (Unless they straight out try to bug him lol)

[collapse]

Same goes for ML, the original male protagonist. Makes the characters pretty refreshing, and more... realistic, I suppose? Best of all, none of them are weak, and both are badass.

ML's been flirting since they were children so I guess it's understandable that all of it flies straight over MC's head. But so far we see MC and ML are close as bros-at least before Le Plot threw a wrench so that the events follow the original book's storyline.

As for translation quality, the English is flawless-only thing is I feel like the characters sometimes sound... American? The setting is ancient Chinese culture so I feel like some of the wording just doesn't match what the MC seems like - dignified, proud and aloof. But this is only a minor issue so I guess I can just choose to ignore it. <<less

Oh boy, where do I even begin? This one, feels like it was written as a playground for the author's OC, where the entire world seems to revolve around them. The side characters appear to have stepped out of a 2YK teen movie, and the depth of the characters is comparable to that of a teaspoon. Both the MC and ML lack any substantial traits beyond an excessive list of adjectives describing their external beauty. While the story claims they are supposed to be "intelligent", none of their actions demonstrate... more>> any real cleverness. They come across like two peacocks proudly displaying their feathers, with the author constantly lavishing praise on their appearances, yet every other aspect of their personalities is shallow and entirely vain. What's even more frustrating is how every other character in the story seems completely devoid of refinement, leaving only these two to be portrayed as impossibly perfect, elegant, and flawless—"add another adjective to emphasize how unreasonably immaculate they are." At one point, I genuinely wondered if this was a satire, as it felt too over-the-top to be taken seriously. But no—this is the kind of novel that those satires make fun of. <<less

I was pleasantly surprised with the twists and turns in this story so far where it came to the System, the ML, the main CP and some parts of the plot.

I totally agree with the MC where you wanna hit the ML so bad but can't help but love him at the same time (ﾉ ꈍᴗꈍ) ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻ I do however wish for the MC to have closure and some day be healed enough to open his heart more even if it's just to the ML.

Lesving my mark once again to binge read later.

In my opinion it's pretty good, subjectively I like the MC's physical appearance not to mention his demeanor. He's not one of those weakly looking bottoms, he's prideful, has a strong will and also skillful. He might be dense but I don't dislike it because I feel it kinda suit his personality. I also like how the plot is thick and not just a background to the romance. The only misgiving is that the plot itself is not interesting in my opinion. After solving one problem there's always another one... more>> occuring and they're all pretty boring. It actually made me miss those cliche plots in xianxia a such as disciple recruitment and secret realms. <<less

It's okay. But the romance isn't much actually. There's brotherhood friendship from the beginning but the romance only appeared like towards the ending. Like 20% of the story.

So, for someone coming for the romance, it's not satisfying. This is a mystery solving action novel where the protagonists are being praised for their immortaly looks and skills almost in every chapter. I almost dropped it too cause I found it somehow boring.

Good translation tho.

I've read this entire story before... but it had such a low impact on me that I've forgotten what happens and even that I've read it.

If you don't like stories that switch from the present to flashbacks, then this story will be frustrating because all their current actions need to be explained via flashbacks or "Remember when we..." because we're basically coming into these characters' stories after many of the big life events have already happened:

... more>>
Spoiler

MC has long since transmigrated, ML has been in love with MC for some time, MC has already done (or refused to do, as it were) the villainous deeds, and ML has already killed MC.

[collapse]

And now everything needs to be explained to the reader... with flashbacks!

I still can't believe I've read this entire novel and just completely forgotten it.

The translators did a wonderful job, though. <<less

It's actually good at first, but as other reviewers has said, once the flashback starts it goes stale and boring.

Personally, what prevents me from picking up this book again are the MC and ML, they are truly unlikeable, just 2 rude stubborn arrogant boys wallowing in self-pity. Tbh, I can't even bring myself to sympathize with the MC even when he was coerced by the system, his personality is so unlikeable that I laugh at his miseries. And the ML is even more unlikeable.

Interesting take on transmigration in the end, but I found it a little slow to get going and the ending felt a little rushed. While it was overall enjoyable, it took me a bit longer than usual to get through because it just didn't grab me as much as other novels I've read. I really liked the MC, but found most of the other characters either flat, promising but not well-developed, or annoying.

It was good but not reccommending to friends good. I think the events happened were too fast. And a bit frustrating because of the flow of the story, like how next chapter shows the past then present then past again. Lastly was the ending. I was unsatified by the ending because it didn't feel like a the perfect ending for them. It could have been better. Like maybe it was revealed that the ML was also a transmigrated person that's why he didn't like any of the woman around him... more>> and fell in love with the MC. And finally leaving the book and meeting in the real world where they live happily ever after lol. <<less

The pacing was a bit weird, and the story a bit random. The overall "truth" was pretty interesting though.

Ignore the first summary and only look at the smaller paragraph below. This is a pretty solid story. If you are looking for romance to show up quickly this isn't for you. If you like bickering and crazy smart characters this will work.

The MC may be a technical villain but he's never a demonic sect which is a bit refreshing. The demonic sects are straight up rotten. The good sects aren't necessarily good but more grey. I actually liked where the ultimate bad guy came from but I thought the... more>> ending was a little rushed compared to the buildup and would have liked to see a few more chapters there. Especially feeding bickering dog food to all their fellow cultivators.

Not a lot of development of side characters but decent twisty plot (one pretty bad hole that gets a deus ex machina handwave at the end). This is still worth a try. <<less

I actually like this story despite some of its flaws.

The main pair's "love" is about as comparable as Sasuke and Sakura from the anime series Naruto. They definitely have that brotherhood going on to help anchor their bond strongly to one another, and I also love their tacit understanding for one another even though it disappeared when the protagonist flirts with him openly. Lol

Some of the reviews here aren't wrong. The protagonist does get a little annoying when he treats everyone terrible, but becomes a puppy to the transmigrator. The... more>> tsundere personality of the main character does get on my nerve too, but it's nice that he treats everyone this way though, so it's not biased like the main lead.

Honestly, their dual jades is incomparable to the twin jades of another novel. While the twin jades are honorable, these two are only well known for their good looks and skills. Their attitudes combined should have definitely got the both of them more hate than admiration. I didn't like that the fake monk was ridiculing them at first, but as I read the novel. I agreed with how s*upid they both are.

Everyone, readers, cannon fodder, bystanders, the disciples, villains, and even their masters are constantly forced fed dog food. It kind of gives off that Mary-sue/Gary-stu vibe relationship when the main lead begins his flirting, but I'm not complaining since I enjoyed it. Lol

It does have a plot..... but I didn't pay too much attention to it. Lol <<less

So far I'm going to gave it 5 stars. But it the final stars could be less if the story is not Great or Satisfying. Because I'm still not finish it!!!

Honestly this novel didn't actually tempt me much. The summary feel so-so, mostly made me anxious if not for the fact I already read MDZS first (they share a LITTLE BIT of similar element). But the Male Yandere tag was Tempting especially because I'm in mood for Yandere/Black Belly ML. And when I started to read this I was like... more>> "Well, if I'm bored/not in the mood, I would just temporarily stop reading this novel and continue it someday.". But apparently the first 20ish chapters; in every chapter the story keep getting interesting. When finally reach the first Mystery plot, I know I can't go back. The Author did a Good job and the Translator did Awesome job!

The story was really Great. The dynamic between MC and ML is Refreshing, Fun, Cute, and Sweet.

MC is VERY DENSE at realising ML's feelings and his own feelings, but with Understandable reason.

ML is Yandere but Not Possessive. Dislike MC getting close toward others but in less troublesome/annoying way. Protective and Doting as much as he can. VERY Devoted! He doesn't care about Anyone But MC's well being! He would Destroy the World, Kill EVERYONE, if MC hurt because of them. I Definitely LOVE how ML's priorities is Straight. He doesn't care about anyone's opinion. He live the way he want!

Anyway, the story is so Far very Good, Great, and I'm waiting for more. I pray all the Mysteries would be revealed without any plot hole, and give us satisfying result. Amen! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 <<less
