Wu Jin, as a trainee from a certain entertainment company, had a peerless, stunning face. He was qualified to debut as a lead performer even if he just sat there and did nothing.

After signing up for a certain talent show, the shining path to stardom beckoned to him––

Wu Jin: Hold on, why is this show different from what we agreed on? Wasn’t it supposed to be about jumping around, dancing, and singing songs? Why do you have to send me out into the wilderness…

Program Producer: You’re a once-in-a-century high appearance value competitor! We’re relying on you to save the program’s ratings!

Wu Jin: … I seem to be on the wrong show. Wait a minute, this isn’t an idol show, it’s a fighting survival reality show ahhh!!

Ten months later, the little cutie who had been thrown into the show––

Turned into a human weapon.

Powering up through various instances, slight entertainment circle elements.

Extremely overpowered gong x little cutie who grows to become an overpowered shou.

When I first started reading this I wasn't sure what to expect becuase of all the mixed reviews, but it seemed to have a slight gaming theme to it, and the premise seemed interesting enough to give it a shot.

I am SOOO happy I went with my gut and decided to read this novel. There were some people who didn't seem to think that the characters were explained well, or the story was tied up, but I can only guess that they might not have actually finished reading the story... more>> all the way through at the time of their review. I can assure you that the characters backgrounds are fully explained, and despite the surface appearance of the "love at first sight" trope

Spoiler

once you actually read about their history, you will see that not only is there a reason for their attraction to each other, but their love has actually been slow burning for many years already, they just didn't know it yet.

[collapse]

I loved that the auther was able to give so many characters in the story full and rich personalities, I also appreciated the time and effort the author put in to researching and learning so much about other civilizations and cultures. The puzzles in this story are sick, and even though they take a lot of logic to figure them out, you actually get to hear some of the thought process to solving these intricate puzzles, it's not just something that for no understandable reason popped into the MC's head.

Honestly the first half of the story is about meeting, making friends, building a new family, solving puzzles, and falling in love, you won't get to the mystery solving of the past until the second half of the story I'd say. This isn't just a fluff piece, this story really makes you think and you really get a sense of watching the MC grow up right in front of your eyes while reading.

Spoiler

I'm stating this isn't just a fluff story, but to be clear at no point do you feel any real fear for the characters involved. There are definitely some ups and downs when the MC is kidnapped, but it's quickly resolved. One statement that remains true throughout the story... the ML is undefeatable!

[collapse]

The technology is more advanced in this story due to the intergallactic setting, but that's not a real focus of the story, more just supplemental in order to support the story line.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story, and since each puzzle was unique I didn't get overly tired of walking through them with the MC. I feel no hesitation is recommending this story!

Spoiler

Side Note: There is no NSFW in this story, lots of implications, but that's where it ends. Take it as good or bad, just figured I would share.

An excellent nerdy bl, by a science nerdy author no doubt lol... I like author's intelligence and meticulous attention to detail... I especially enjoyed the dinosaur arc a lot and I loved all the ML and MC's sweet and funny interactions together... I also loved the zoomorphic descriptions of bunny WuJin, especially from ML's POV... of course there are a few flaws but nothing serious... the only thing I disliked about this novel was that the author focused more on the survival instances rather than romance so there was not... more>> enough fluff and interactions between the 2 protags <<less

This is one of my favourite book!!!!!!

This is one of the few novels which wraps up the plot holes rather nicely. Amidst too many books of

random transmigration/rebirth, this is a gem.

Spoiler

the MC actually didnt time travel!!]

[collapse]

These are some points which made me fall with this book

    • Cute MC (actually we see lots and lots of this species, I still like them)
    • Smart and caring MC. (but too dumb sometimes. Like I wondered where his iq ran off to)
    • Very funny and sweet interactions.
    • This novel has AMAZING instances. It literally blows your mind with how well thought it was. Like it touches everything from tissues to evolution to history.
    • Cheerful characters and a bucket full of pets to brighten your day. (You may also cry somewhere sometimes. like me.)
    • I also really like ML. He is very caring and supports the MC all the way. He is not someone who first saw the MC and think 'I wanna POSSESS HIM!!'. (
      Spoiler

      The MC is the one who fell in first sight]

      [collapse]
      . One of the best book boyfriend!
    • But there are too many animal comparisons. If you are not a fan of it consider this a headsup.
Sooooo....I highly recommend this to everyone who needs some fluffy sugars for your heart and thriller for your brain.

please forgive my broken english. Have a nice reading!!!!

I quite enjoyed the novel, reading it long passed my bed time, which left me too concerned and active to fall asleep. Couldn't help trying to predict what would happen next. In other words, what I'm trying to say is that the plot was interesting and absorbing, it wad fun to read as I found myself laughing out loud on occasions.

The characters are likable and I liked the plot twist or the truth about the main. It wasnt predictable. I loved wei shi too. So domineering, yet caring. OP... more>> but not to the point of being a showy annoying person, quite the opposite I think.

The only thing I found a bit monotonous about this was the random educational runts the author would go on in middle of one of the arcs... Just too much info too many dates. I mean it supposed to be survival show, not a lesson in history... Having said that I wouldn't discourage anyone from reading. It was good and fun read. The translators did good job too. I appreciate that and recommend the novel. <<less

I haven't finished it yet, and I really hope this bunny cringe thing will ease up because I can't handle this cringe okay, can I go one chapter without the author explaining HOW CUTE LOVELY SOMETHING SOMETHING the MC is or without ANYONE mentioning how beautiful cute something something about him? He's a guy, okay? Sure, a guy can be cute but you don't need to go that far. Basically you can change the MC's gender into a woman and NOTHING gonna change. I like reading BL because it's boy... more>> love boy, but why would you beautify a boy to such an extent I have no idea. And why would who top and bottom really important in a yaoi novels????

Well anyway, I quite like this novel for the plot and the characters, though I still can't read MC and ML together without skipping some paraghraps here and there.

Will persist reading this because the plot setting is really interesting and the translation is superb, but I need to take a break from this novel for now. <<less

It's fun to find a good novel, this is a gem, an amazing plot twist by the author, MC and ML they support each other, really like the MC who has its own strengths not depending on ML, it would be perfect if there was a side story from Sou yu, I don't think I'll ever get bored of reading this novel over and over again 😘

  • The MC is adorable. Is a fact in the novel, similar to how the sun rising in the East is a fact. Accept it.
  • The ML is very 'masculine' but not buff. He's also a 'bit' emotionally redundant.
  • The plot... isn't really heavy honestly. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means it hasn't got a billion twists and turns. It's relatively simple and direct. Emphasis on 'relatively'.
  • All the characters (including MC and ml) are pretty well rounded. They aren't 2D. There are one or two who are flat but they aren't part of the main story at all so it doesn't matter.
  • The novel has the weak to strong tag but it isn't exaggerated at all. Which was surprising. The cause and effect is all pretty reasonable.
  • The ML isn't a huge golden thigh, at least not in the way you expect him to be, which is refreshing.
  • You at first think the romance to be a bit abrupt but as the plot progresses you realise that it's not.
  • Spoiler

    The MC is not who you think he is.

    [collapse]
  • The translation is of good quality too. You won't have any problems with the translation.
  • 100% would recommend. Go check it out. (◍•ᴗ•◍) ✧*。

i mean it's pretty obvious but this novel is really REALLY long. Idk what frame of mind other ppl are usually in when they read novels but for me it's a mix between alert and at full comprehension and half asleep eyes skimming over words. If you lean more towards skimming this novel may not be the most suited for you. It's not impossible to finish it (obviously) but some of the arcs that are like 70% backstory/explanation are pretty hard to read when you're not all there.

i liked the... more>> character backstories the most lol just because they added the most to the story (i think). Like we learned the most about the MC, ML, and all other characters involved as opposed to the other battle arcs, where the MCs incredible tendencies as a walking calculator, encyclopedia, and bunny-like tendencies sway the heart of the super macho ML that is a human weapon that only doki doki's for the MC.

the battle arcs themselves are really cool. Like you can tell a lot of thought has been put into each one and just reading those when you're alert makes for an interesting and gripping novel. The characters themselves are flat though, and it shows when the side characters do things that just highlight how incredible the main characters are.

the fluff in the novel is outstanding because of the length it took to achieve it. When all you're eating is salty things, a candy tastes sweeter than if you were eating candy to begin with, right? I have no qualms against it and it just made their interactions even cuter because the wait was longer.

i liked the soft and fluffy MC that grows stronger but was pretty dang smart from the start, and I liked how the author changed the definition of what 'soul mates' meant in this world. It was a refreshing and nice read, albeit I might have missed a couple important chapters bc I was reading before I went to bed. <<less

Warning: super sweet candy, can make readers addicted.

Seriously, this story throw dog food everywhere. Both MC and ML are super likeable and well matched with each other. Even though MC wasn't OP at first and he would get hurt ML never stopped MC from trying and I LOVE THAT. Supporting SO for the win!!

The side character developement are also good. They were not just some ornament to make MC and ML look good but also important characters that help build the story nicely. 10 out of 10 will reread again.

I don't know why others give bad reviews. I say that this novel is good. The suvival show theme novel with suspended and thrilling adventured.

MC start of with small, weak and helpless little rabbit, he only good at singing, dancing and being cute and fluffly. Maybe high IQ... not to the point that glance once you sloved it all. He gather the information and clue little by little.

He only become strong with the help from ML. With a little unexpected childhood past that related to ML (I'm not sure... more>> since I didn't complete reading the novel nether mtl it, I want to wait for the tranlation group. The author used difficult terms and words. If you mtl you wouldn't understand anything.)

The love interest are little bit slow until the middle part of the novel, neverless the interaction between MC and ML are adorable and 3 sons of different species. <<less

A well-written novel and equally well-translated, this action/romance/transmigration story is one of my favourites. It only gets better as it progresses, and the relationship between the MC and ML is gradual but extremely satisfying. There is an element of showbiz, and the idol-turned-survival-show-contestant MC is diligent and cute in his struggle to survive. Golden thigh? Yes, because the ML is OP as hell, but also no, because the MC doesn’t believe in taking what’s not his, and ML respects that, which is the cutest part of their relationship. This is... more>> definitely a novel I could recommend if you’re looking for a wholesome and screamworthy plotline. <<less
