At the end of the first arc, the MC randomly bites through his wrist (Is he a carnivore?!) to the point of pouring blood everyone and dying within only half an hour of this. He pours his own blood all over his target and even in his mouth. I still don't understand why. Sure, the other guy had some blood loss, but that's NOT how a blood transfusion is done. A commentor thought that maybe he was trying to rehydrate the guy by giving him his blood to drink. I've heard of drinking u**ne for this but never for blood. If he was worried about the blood loss, then why didn't he, y'know, put pressure on the wound and stop the blood loss or something instead? As far as I can figure, the MC was just trying to give this man some trauma by committing su*cide in front of him.

In the second arc, the MC gets a fever the day after having s*x and even faints from it. The explanation is that leaving s**en in the rectum can cause a fever. Never hearing about such an idea, I tried to research for more information and found out that this is generally not a thing. Post-orgasmic illness syndrome affects a man after he ejaculates, and that can cause flu-like symptoms. Some people also have s**en allergies, even to their own s**en (RIP). However, these occurrences are rare. In this series, it's treated as common knowledge that not cleaning out s**en from the rectum makes people ill when there's no need to clean it out in real life. This is purely optional.

• Systems are so cute!! I love them.
• First, it seems like there is no ML, but don't worry it's a player v player.
• Every world is BE, but the whole story is HE.

One gripe I had is that everything goes to plan within the MC's calculations. While the author tries to show the MC's genius EQ, instead, it felt a bit too fake when all the MC's plans always succeed perfectly and he never needs to use any backups or last-minute concessions. This is partly explained in the extras. The author's later works are much better in this respect, so I'll just have to chalk it up to inexperience.

[Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the tr*sh Bin] is an excellent example of excellent writing with a genius MC who feels smarter in comparison because he can think on his feet when things don't go according to plan.

The worlds basically go like this: MC works hard to create misunderstanding with ML -> blackened ML r*pes/ab*ses/destroys MC's body in a variety of different ways -> ML finds out "the real reason" for the misunderstanding, thereby regretting all the ab*se -> ML falls in love through pity/regret -> MC refuses to forgive ML and makes ML regret all the ab*se -> MC leaves ML with one speck of hope before dying violently

MC has to capture the s*um gong and convinces 1-2 other random people to fall in love with him too. Commence tons of angst. Then he breaks everyone's heart by dying in some inexplicable manner.

It's revealed that MC was originally the protagonist in a harlequin novel and was supposed to be the overbearing president with a cute wife (female). ML had just completed 10 worlds at the time and decided to take a vacation to an easy world so he became the first host to visit MC's world with the mission of winning MC's love. However, ML truly fell in love and realized that MC's world would be destroyed if he captured MC so ML purposely failed the mission.

ML vowed to come back to the world so he rushed missions for 800+ years until MC caused 100 hosts to fail. Because ML had become the strongest host at the time, he made a deal with the Lord God to make MC a host. The Lord God pit the two of them against each other so in each of the worlds MC was the shou and ML was the s*um gong. Whoever reached 100 favorability before the other lost. If MC lost, then he would be permanently destroyed but if ML lost, he would lose exp to the Lord God and MC. In order to give MC more points, ML split his soul into the other love interests in each world.

When they return to MC's original world, ML spills the beans. Lord God forces one of them to die and ML dies. MC uses his remaining points to free himself from the contract and become a true host instead of being trapped in the s*um gong reformation worlds. Turns out ML saved 1 million points to pass to MC so MC uses the points to summon ML back as a "follower" whose life is bound to his own. They become hosts together and live happily doing (non love related) missions together.

"If you can't do it, come back, ba"

He thought, Lance, this little vixen, was truly gentle and considerate in bed, ne.

The people you risked your life to protect are these kinds of people... if you knew, you would certainly feel extremely sad, ba...

So there's a "climatic" scene in this arc where love rival President Fu gatecrashes the wedding (yeah, there's a wedding in this arc!! wtf!!) and objects to the proceedings in an ending chapter cliffhanger. Meanwhile, secondary male lead Jian Zihan (best boy) is standing to the side trying to be supportive of MC's decision to marry the as*hole ML President Yi because, lo and behold, the MC is dying from cancer!! And then when the MC took aside President Fu to explain that he had gotten over President Yi previously kidnapping and locking him up (yeah, that... happened) and now he just wanted this last slice of happiness in his life and apologized for not being able to reciprocate the other's feelings. And then President Fu had the realization that his love is selfish and that he had really only wanted MC for himself!!

And while I'm facepalming in the corner, I'm also simultaneously going "Jian Zihan best boy". And then it hit me!! It hit me!!!!! This IS a soap opera!! This is every ridiculous C-drama ever made, complete with s*xual assault, kidnapping, a gatecrashed wedding, and ending in dying of cancer!! This is what makes this terribad story so compelling! It plays on the audience's fascination with these type of trainwreck stories, and it knows it's a trainwreck. It knows exactly the feeling of watching dinnertime C-dramas, complete with a, "Why are these characters so s*upid?? Why doesn't the main character pick the nice guy instead of the a**hole?!" And it capitalizes on them.

And in the end, this story really plays on its greatest strength: that it's a story. All these worlds that Xie He goes to aren't actually real! He's just acting! And he's not actually making these terrible decisions! So it's OK to be really into these worlds because the main character isn't actually getting r*ped, he's not actually being this much of a doormat. It's just an act, a game! It's the perfect example of "having your cake and eating it too". And that's what makes it really, really compelling.

It still doesn't make it a good story, though.

Like... No, it's not romantic to stalk someone, or tie up that someone's lover... The author tries to handwave this by showing that, "Yes, I know it's not romantic!" with Xie He's decreasing favorability points, but imo it does not work. Because in between all that, we get "oh woe is Lu Ting, see how unhappy and sad and puppyish he is?" -- Because, even as the author claims she doesn't support all this r*pe, her true intentions shine through the narrative. It's clear the narrative is on Lu Ting's side, it's clear that the narrative feels bad for Lu Ting's failures, it's clear that the narrative wants Lu Ting and Xie He to get back together despite Lu Ting's actions, and it's clear that the narrative isn't actually going to provide any substantial interrogation of Lu Ting's possessiveness (and previous r*pes) beyond the tired old excuse of "Lu Ting loves Xie He!" and "Lu Ting was just acting in Xie He's best interests!" Ugh, BARF.

In a word, Lu Ting needs a jail cell, not a relationship.

And this is made even worse by the lowkey implication that this is all within Xie He's """plans""" or whatever shit-heel reason the author is going to come up with to justify this.

there I should be told you that MC knew that all those s*um gong are actually his ex in his real world (first one and the cause of MC being so cold hearted toward every host that come to him) he purposely acted out and use all mean to cause ML felt like dying as a revenge for what he did and he also repeatedly says he will teach the s*um gong to know the way how to love properly lol. But from my pov both of them s*ck at how to expressing and cherish love, even the MC himself. And as what I told the s*um gong is actually holds some part ML conciseness (or soul?) and it will be awakened once the love point maxed (if I do not remember it wrong) and that’s how it is. Despite, all those cliche plots in the arc the MC world arc is where everything unfolds like ML identity, the real one behind all of this, MC purpose, ML and MC past, ML point of view, the actual intent of MC transmigration, etc.
