Pulling Together a Villain Reformation Strategy

Description

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

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?!

agreed, MC couldn't tell ML liked him but MC always thought of ML as his brother+ he wanted to go back to his original world so he "tried" to not to get too involved in this world. But yes he is cold, arrogant, intelligent, etc. but I liked it? like after some chapters it just feels like yes this how Yunxi should be

[collapse]

ML is also really nice! It take really long time for them to actually start dating but even as friends their interactions are really nice, , hehe ML is a bit shameless in front of MC.. everytime time they talk I feel like "ah as expected from mc/ml"

as for the plot it reminds me of mdzs and erha (a bit, I actually forgot what reminded me of that atm) but yeah it is interesting!! <<less

Well, the plot and characters are great, but I feel that the development of the story is a bit quick; I mean, it would have been interesting if the writer had put more details in so many scenes, there are many open points, and well... a little... if the writer added A little sweet too, I got dehydrated 😭🤧.

I was given a 5 ⭐️ because the plot was almost new; I am tired of the usual "System" and "Protagonist Rescue" stories. There are new elements here 😋.

I really like this novel so far, the story is quite cute though with certain strange parts. My only criticism is sometimes the pacing of the story is abrupt.

Not bad! Classic BL cultivation story, a pair of brothers split apart and then are reunited. Tbh although it was very interesting to read, the angst feels... strange? Like choppy almost? Development doesn't feel professional and honestly a little bit disappointing. I also thought it would be slightly different from reading the premise, but the gig's up pretty quickly.

IMO, too much of the story is just flashbacks on the past, whether through internal demons or otherwise. Grandmaster also has that, but in Grandmaster the developments are (1) pretty amazing and... more>> (2) story flows realtime as well. In this story, basically all info comes from past arcs.

However, it has been a fun read so far, so I'm looking forward to more. <<less

This novel is one that you have to think while you're reading or you'll get confused, but the plot is worth it. The MC transmigrated into a novel, OOC in the last scene and died, only to be given a second chance in the novel. I really liked the way the MC didn't try to convince the ML that he was the same person and instead acted as an idiot (though that only lasted for 11 some chapters). It's definitely a good read though!

Really enjoying this so far, hopefully the translation will continue (or I'll have to MTL it...;;;;).

The character dynamics between the 2 leads are very good, and don't fall into weird dom/sub stereotypes. Both are kind of shitty characters (personality-wise, not in development), but they have really believable interactions and clearly a lot of history. Despite what it seems like surface-level, both care a lot about each other. The story also shies away from dubcon/noncon, which I really appreciate lmao. They also take care to mark the transitions between present and... more>> flashbacks, and the flashbacks aren't too long (thank god...I remember reading MDZS a year or two ago and it was neverending flashbacks). <<less

All I have to say is that if you love Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and/or The s*um Villain's Self-Saving System, then you'll enjoy reading this.

I love the story plot but as I read by mtl, it very confusing and I have to drop it cause the mtl make my head dizzy very hard to read, I need to think twice to really get what they talking about. And it stop the flow of imagination therefore I will just wait for the translation.

Overall the story line is nice and I love how MC and ML communicate.

Things I liked:

-Good characterization. The characters actions make me feel a certain way, but they have the bit of a problem of not really rewarding you by having interesting interactions.

-It had a plot, the setting was dynamic, although I didn't get to care much for it.

... more>> Things that bothered me:

-Wooden characters: it was hard for me to point out what bothered me about this novel, and it's the fact that I can't root for the characters, there is no character development to speak of, and the romance doesn't come after unraveling any personal issues: Jiang Xunyi is perfect and that's why Yun Xie loves him and since Jiang Xunyi is willing to tolerate him, they get together. They don't change, they don't learn the errors of their ways, they end exactly the way they started.

-I didn't find their interactions cute since there's no real escalation of romance. Maybe if the author had bothered to pace it better and overall gave it a good, at least coherent structure it could've worked in places. They have the exact time of interaction where JYX seems disinterested and YX is bothered he doesn't care, or get he's into him.

-I was kinda bored by the story since I couldn't get invested in the characters: why would I care if they solve the plot when I see absolutely no reward in doing that? Characterization won't change, they've been backslapping the whole novel people I don't care about.

-The character dynamic doesn't change. It's like JXY feels nothing for YX, there's no fluttering when they have intimate moments, the MC doesn't care his friend/lover's in danger;in fact, I feel like he doesn't care about him at all, that he's fulfilling a role just to get back home, that he puts up with him even though he's annoying. I care nothing about him either, and I'm pretty sure that's not the way I'm supposed to feel about a male lead!

-I don't mind dense MCs, I think it has a a great potential for comedy if handled right, but in no moment I felt frustration: why would the MC think the ML likes him that way when there's no difference in the way he treats him throughout his life (until he kills him, which comes out of nowhere since he's possessed by heart demons). Never did I think: oh, you just need to figure out the way he feels.

-The writing is all over the place. I know writing fight scenes is hard, and that as a reader I have to pay attention, but I don't understand what's happening a good chunk of the time and I'm not sure I care to. The extras were 10 and chimed in right before the ending. Why? It lacks a good description to understand where the characters are, and some back and forth with secondary characters is such a tedium since they're framed as everyone being an idiot except for the protagonists, and you know how the scene's gonna play out.

Overall: no good romantic escalation, I didn't like the characters, I couldn't feel invested in the story. I don't really like leaving bad reviews, but this one doesn't deserve a good one. <<less

It’s a good and fun read. Although some plot points may sometime be confusing, for the most part it’s really well done. The ML and MC were really lovely as couple, though sometime I do think MC attraction ML came out of nowhere.

THIS WAS SO GOOD

If you're a fan of cultivation world x transmigration x HE this is for you!!

Cold dense transmigrator ML x Crazy (in Love) protagonist MC

The confession scene took a while to come (because of one dense master) but after it THEY WERE SO SWEET! I won't say anymore to not spoil but this was a great read! Not too long as well. A little bit of dog blood drama at the start but these two jades were mean to be together and nothing was gonna stop MC from... more>> gently reminding (re: killing) anyone who dares come between him and his good brother (his HUGE CRUSH). <<less

it leaves a melancholic taste in my mouth leaving me unable to sleep until I release my sadness in the reviews. It’s. Currently. 2. Am.

Spoiler

The beginning is reaaaaaaaaally slow, so if you’re looking for the lovey Dovey parts it starts at chapter 70.

The banter is great but I truly laughed in the extra about the brothel.

The author spilled all the beans at the last couple of chapters and I’m still reeling from it. Honestly, I dislike the ending. Sure, it’s a happy ending yada yada yada... And the ending wasn’t particularly out of nowhere and I did see a slight foreshadowing. It still leaves a mouthful of distaste. MC always wistfully thought of his family and then his brother had planned everything out only to return empty. Oh, and then the MC is all understanding and all forgiving, and he becomes this weird version of the Mary Sue. I guess I wish everyone had a happy ending like the cliche endings but oh well.

I must make haste to go to sleep!

P.s. Thank you to the translating and editing team.

P.p.s. Good night everyone. <<less

Beautiful, amazing, chef's kiss!

CHARACTERS: 5/5

Main character? Fun to follow around -- badass and smart and hot. What more could you want? Love interest? So in love with MC, looks like a cinnamon roll but could (and will) kill you, and protective. Maybe cliche for some, but I personally think they were big brain and cute all at once LOL

... more>> PLOT: 4.5/5

Okay, I was a little confused until the very end why Yun Xie even killed Jiang Xunyi that one time... you know the time... But I think the explanation at the end was well executed! Maybe a little rushed but the pure enjoyment from reading balances out any questions I have about the plot xD

Spoiler

I was worried that it would end JXY going back to his world with his shitty parents : (but thankfully that didn't happen!! I hope him and YX can live happily as long as they are in this world together!! PLS... THEY DESERVE IT >.> So sad this had to end, I would be happy sitting around and reading extras about this world and the lovely main characters for the rest of the day!!

the only that putting this story together was the MC and the ML. Their interaction with each other were probably best in my opinion. It made them feel more life like as they joke around with each other. As they were the only thing was consistent out of the whole story. Every side character kind of just fizzled out when an arc comes to an end.

Spoiler

by the way the intimate scenes, you blink and you are confused what just happened. It felt like it came out of no where

Pros :

It's a fun read. The ML and MC have a nice chemistry w eachother. They certainly have a deep understanding of eachother. ML reminds me of a proud puppy, MC is a silly cat.

For me, this is more of a healing journey of MC and ML. Kinda reminds me of MDZS. Definitely gives off that vibe.

Cons :

Just the usual villains that have so-so back story. It's a pet peeve of mine. The later of the story is morr bland compared to the first half of the story.

This novel is similar to the Founder of Diabolism

... more>>
Spoiler

in how ML kill MC then MC revive in a younger body that look exactly as him and acted the fool and missions w exterminating the ghoul, demon and ghost But w more gore and apathy toward killing people

Also similar to s*um VILLAIN’S SELF-SAVING SYSTEM

w how MC was transmigrated w a system promising him home when he finish with plot but more cruel and subtle even if MC disagree to act (task to r*pe his shimei) everyone will still put the label rapist onto him as if unavoidable

Anyway difference in this novel is the cold, smart, tsundere protagonists w almost telephatic conversation with ML just a few glance and soft spot for ML while ML is just smitten for mc

Their interaction is so so cute and natural since MC transmigrated since childhood and MC n ML interact since then before ML slowly fell for mc

while is typical denseness and only realise guys like him when the demon lord kidnap him to tell MC he wanna top MC and that ML likes MC. Though it is understandable since MC only gotten total emotional control of himself when he changed body against og body setting written (no more affection for shimei whom label him rapist after he changed body)

[collapse]

and MC slow acceptance of this fantasy world as real n to allow himself to accept ML proposal despite knowing it will hurt if MC ever got back home to his family

Overall fun plot with tension during fight scene, Mystery during investigation n fluff w cp after long long long journey but no smut just reference to smut <<less
