Description

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

Bai Yang is the youngest son of a rich family who grew up spoiled, unambitious and having no one expect anything from him. He doesn’t really mind this though, because he’s still able to live a simple and happy life.

One day, however, his older brother got into an accident and is now comatose. Bai Yang’s father now has to consider his youngest son to take over the family business. Unfortunately for him, Bai Yang is a weak, timid, and cowardly child. How can he ever succeed?

Wanting to change his son’s personality, the father has Bai Yang transmigrated into the world of Wild Wind, a very famous fantasy novel. Bai Yang’s father hopes the environment of that world will shape his son to be more arrogant and domineering, as a child of a wealthy scion family ought to be.

However, due to an error with the Main System, instead of transmigrating as the protagonist, Bai Yang ends up becoming a cannon fodder villain, Xie Zietian, from the Demon Realm! In order to safely and quickly return to his world, Bai Yang has to ensure that the protagonist, Zhou Ying, ascends to the heavens so his transmigration mission will be complete.

In order to sneak into the human realm and help Zhou Ying, Bai Yang comes up with a variety of excuses to the Demon King of Eternal Night, such as…

Bai Yang, in a dignified manner: “Your Majesty, that person might threaten the demon world. I went to the human world to kill him for you!” (Actually, I went there to meet the protagonist.)

Bai Yang, proclaiming his loyalty: “Your Majesty, hang in there. I will go to the human world to find the elixir for you!” (Actually, I went there to save the protagonist.)

Bai Yang, with an attitude of selfless dedication: “Your Majesty, I just want to go to the human world to further your great cause!” (Actually, I went there to see the protagonist.)

The Demon King’s face remained impassive but, in fact, the tips of his ears were red. He was thinking: I can’t believe he loves me so deeply…

Demon King: “Hmph! Seeing how clingy you are, I’ll accept your love. Tell me! Whatever you need, I’ll give it to you!”

Bai Yang: “****! Your Majesty, I don’t love you.”

Demon King: “No, you love me.”

The Demon King truly believed Bai Yang and he shared a deep mutual love until he discovered that Bai Yang was having an “affair” with a “wild human” …

Mind the tags! I was being hopeful and optimistic but alas, ch. 70 upset me so much. I thought it would just be dubcon, but no, it's really r*pe. I'm very understanding and tolerant when it comes to dubcon developments in BL fictional novels and manga, but this is the first time I couldn't stomach it.

So, I actually extremely loved it..... then came ch70. And let me tell you, ch70 ruins everything, all that was shown and established, just falls apart in that ch, you lose all respect for the author as they OOC their characters sooo much, without a single warning. The tone sorta changes to a yaoiverse story, instead of what it was pre ch70, and that was a bl with well developed characters and an interesting, well written plot. Mourning what could've been yet never was.

The r*pe in ch70, just repeats and... more>> repeats, it isn't really described that much so you decide if you want to read or not. Victim blaming is always present, and the MC thinks of it as something he can't reject so might as well let happen. The author seems pretty uneducated on the subject of s*x in general, as they believe u can just shove smth in with no prep if you aren't a virg*n, which is so far from the truth it could stand trial for defamation. As we near the end things just, speed up and go all over the place making it somewhat seem as if the author doesn't really care that much about the work anymore.

When they wake up in the real world, I believe their relationship is way too sudden and taken as a matter of course,
Spoiler

when the ML within the created world and ML from reality are simply 2 different people, and I do think they should be treated as such.

I really liked it in the beginning, but after they get together, everything is just forced by the ML, he really handles the MC like his property. I'm not saying he doesn't care for him, but he doesn't really give him choices or respect what MC wants or is uncomfortable with, it was kinda cute when ML was blushing while admitting their relationship but doesn't really amount for anything. In my opinion ML becomes very dislikeable while the MC becomes very spineless in the relationship (though he'd always kind of... more>> been weak-minded) Some may like that but it felt disappointing to me. <<less

Not very plot heavy and its story is mainly focused on the main leads. However it is a good transmigration + system story. We have a very doting ML and an MC who dotes on the ML in return. The misunderstanding between them makes up a huge portion of the plot but it’s not as annoying as they somehow move the plot forward.

One unique thing about this story is

Who would’ve thought that instead of a love triangle the MC would actually claim that the protagonist he’s trying to protect is his son. I couldn’t stop laughing. But Im also happy that that lie didn’t stay for too longe between the MC and ML. They were at the part where they fully trusted each other and to add another misunderstanding would be low.

[collapse]

Rated it 4 stars just because I usually prefer more action heavy xianxia novels with good cultivation world-building. An example would be Heaven’s Official Blessing and another is Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know (This novel is shorter than TGCF but more concise that the plot doesn’t drag or focus on other characters for too long) <<less

1. DON'T LISTEN TO THE NONSENSE OF Saikyi (https://www. Novelupdates. Com/user/116757/Saikyi/) like What kind of nonsense is that person babbling about? WHAT r*pe? There's literally no sign of r*pe and as far as I'm concerned, smutty scenes happen so far into the novel and it's bloody consented. No r*pe. (Saikyi probably also liked his/her own comment) That guy's a troll. This is literally a fluffy novel, kind of, still fluffy.

2. It's nothing like FOD or SVSSS, difference is extremely large especially FOD. Transmigration is the only thing that's similar... more>> to SVSSS, but the process of transmigration is different.

Anyways, I like this better than SVSSS in all honesty. This seems like it's going in a better direction, but then again that's what I thought about SVSSS too until I grew to dislike Shen Yuan as well as the so called "romance" in SVSSS (Ugh it was forced, the extras made up for SY and Bingmei's relationship tho *it became kinda cute*. But the highlight was definitely MBJxSQJ and Shen JiuxYQY)

Hopefully this wouldn't end up like SVSSS, AND hopefully MC would gradually genuinely fall in love with the Demon King ML. So far so good. <<less

The reviews being put off by the noncon and dubcon definitely didn't read the tags so before reading pls do!!!

And pls remember that the ML is a 4, 000 year old demon king! He will do evil and questionable stuff but in fact, he's on side of tame MLs.

Plus there's no angst!! I kept waiting for the shoe to drop but the author chose the comedy and lighthearted route. Wc definitely made me laugh.

So don't be too discouraged by reviews. If ur into danmei, transmigration, silly MC and an also... more>> silly ML, try this! <<less

(My real rating is more 2.5 out of 5)

I have so many things to say about this novel, I don't know where to begin.

This novel is nice to read, not the best written but it's funny (at least in the begining).

... more>> There is a r*pe scene. Twice, and one is a punishment. They arrive around the middle and ending of this novel. No is no boys and girls. The victim blaming was honestly disgusting to read too.

If this bothers you don't read it, or just read until chapter 70. I went in it without knowing, I don't think I would have read it if I had read the review, but I did and I finished it. And I, in overall, liked the novel. Except the ML.

The story went downhill in the middle, and it honestly killed the vibe of this novel.

However, if you are still intrigued by the plot and is curious to see where it ends I have to say that the Chapter 102 is the reason I liked this story. No seriously, I loved that chapter for many reasons that I will not spoil, but I think it did a good job with what it had.

It's the only chapter that stays in my mind when I think of this novel.

Had the ML and MC relationships be healthier and better this novel would have had higher ratings.

Some can argue that they are demon, so the r*pe is justified by their environment and whatever. No.

The way it was written was bad, the action and the victim blaming was disgusting and I can't blame people for not being able to finish it, posting those review or not wanting to read it.

I wouldn't recommend it, but it was fun to read. I did pass my entire day reading it so, the beginning was nice <<less

You think it would be a cute story, but it was so dragged out, you just want to end. I only enjoyed up to the ~40 chapter.

There are no smut scenes in the book if anyone is curious, those scenes are glossed over very quickly. All you'll read is the discomfort MC feels after the act and implications of what happened during the session.

I would give this 3.5 stars, the beginning is really cute, but the ML kept losing points for me since MC kept making him look bad (for... more>> the reader), which I don't appreciate. In the end, it lost its cuteness. More and more misunderstandings pop up to the point I'm jaded.

Anyway, compared to other Xianxia, this is a light read. The narration is simpler and easier to understand. This story includes more of the development of MC and ML's relationship rather than plot. The relationship wasn't great for me that's why the story wasn't as enjoyable. Plus, the lack of smut scenes leaves alot to be desired. This story is focused on the main couple, but truthfully, the love story isn't that deep, they have a lot of suggestive scenes, but none of the actual clap action.

My verdict is that, its not exactly focused on plot, also not smut, relationship focused, but not deep, cute but not exactly it. It's all of those things, and at the same time not. It's just a really lack luster novel for me. <<less

PLEASE READ BEFORE ABANDONING

I know, I know, all those r*pe warning reviews are scaring you off, right? I have never made an account in my 7+ years of reading bl to review BUT IF THIS CONVINCES ANYONE TO READ IT, I'm happy. People are saying there's a non consensual r*pe scene which ruins everything. Without spoiling let me tell you why this is incorrect. The MC consented to having the mls*cough* thing *cough* put inside him, but he was embarrassed so he said "don't move, it won't count as couple... more>> cultivation then" the reason he's doing this is kinda a spoiler but he's helping the demon king (ml) in a way. The demon king ends up moving anyway lol but ends up apologizing a million times afterwards with MC beating him up, the demon king wants the MC to do this a second time later, and
Spoiler

pretends to be deviating

[collapse]

WITHOUT ANY BIAS, DOWNSIDES:

okay, so I only have two major complaints, I'll try and keep this spoiler free. Personally I didn't like the ending.
Spoiler

it took away from the demon kings loveable personality and just turned him into some random person never introduced before. The MC also became spoilt and bratty somehow???

[collapse]
but to be fair, the author probably didn't know how to tie up the loose ends lololol, I'm just gonna pretend like that ending is not canon because in my opinion it's.. not that good? But it doesn't take away from the rest of the sweet book. The MC is not a soft weak white lotus, and has brains which is really rare!

Second grievance:

Spoiler

THE NOVEL MAIN CHARACTER GOT THE WORST ENDING EVER IM MAILING KNIVES TO THE AUTHOR ITS TOO f*ckING SAD

This is one that depends on what your prefrences and tolerance levels are.

It's not as bad as they get but it's definently on the more uncomfortable side. And it's being framed as comedic when it's really not.

But, if you get past that, it's pretty fun read. The ending was not that great for me. It was alright for this story.

... more>> The romance between the two leads is... questionable. It's like they're supposed to be friends but someone decided to play house and make them lovers instead.

All in all, if you're not into that stuff, don't read. You're not missing out on anything spectacular. At least until ch. 70. And maybe the chapters leading up to that.

Remember to read those tags carefully. <<less

This was a really, really good transmigration novel.

We got really good understanding of why the transmigration happened and where the system came from. We were told about others who transmigrated to the world. We saw why this MC specifically transmigrated. The system had a personality that felt fresh, and she truly became friends with Bai Yang through their shared confusion and attempts to progress.

I was rolling my eyes a little at how the Demon King magically became interested as soon as Bai Yang was playing Xie Ze Tian, but then... more>> even THAT was explained!

My favorite thing was probably when Bai Yang stood straight and told Xiao Ling that no matter how courageous the program made him become, he still wanted to do things his way and follow the ethics that made him feel right even if the world was fake and virtual. Very cool, I was proud of him.

Also really loved how he and the protagonist of the world became very close, it was terribly heartwarming. I actually thought that the son of heaven would become a love rival, so I was caught quite off guard by Bai Yang's quick-talking, uh... developments lmao. But usually stallion novel protags are pretty thin in personality, so I liked that this one was a good kid who just kept being in circumstances.

This was a truly silly novel in exactly the ways the summary and title promised me, so I felt pleased and satisfied by the read. It was even good! I'd consider the novel itself probably worth a little more of a 4, but then the translation team brought it to a five- plus the emphasis on five star reviews in the novel, and the reviews on here that decided to give two stars for the whole story because they hit one particular chapter.

Like... kids, you should always be minding the r*pe tags. Why were you surprised? I get some people particularly didn't like the Demon King downplaying Bai Yang's pain and anger in his narcissism, and that's valid. I personally didn't like that Bai Yang kept passing out even after the s*x got really good for him. What I did like was that very explicitly their first time was particularly bad because the ML was a four thousand year old virg*n who royally s**ked at doing sex- and then he listened to MC's words, sought out help, and then got good at it for him. I think that his wife-chasey attitude was exactly what he needed to do to make up for it- I don't know what else I'd add making him do, you know? Like... what do I want to see in the narrative, this is for entertainment and thought-provocation, it's not real people.

One thing that did get me was I kept expecting more about FireThorn City. We never got to find out why the curse played out like that! Not even an extra about them! I'd recently read Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being, which had a LOT about the cursed city in it, so this lack of info and attention stood out to me. But hey, not everybody loves getting in on worldbuilding as hard.

I also could have used more Huahua, but that's again personal.

I did also like Bai Yang's attempts to suss out his sexuality.

I know exactly what novels I'm going to recommend for readers who enjoyed this one! And I do think it's worth reading if you think you'd be interested. There's a whole hundred chapters of content, after all. <<less

At first, when I read the tags I wasn't sure whether to start reading or not, but somehow I gave it a try.

Let me tell you, this book has become my obsession.

I laughed because of the MC's sense of humor and all the misunderstandings going on... and cried when I saw how much the ML loved the MC.

... more>> I got attached to every character, and the ending was *chef kiss*.

It was shorter than I expected as I finished reading all the chapters in 2 days. Still, a really well made storyline and the ending, strangely, was satisfying (although I'm craving for more extras pls I need more).

Overall, give it a try as it surely deserves a better rating. <<less

To be honest, I loved this novel and I read every chapter with relish. I know many people didn't like the ML because of some reason since they described it very much in the comments of some chapters or some don't like the system and MC but I loved every single chapter.

Spoiler

The romance may have been bred because of misunderstanding but it doesn't mean that mc's love for the ML isn't true later on or earlier on since most of the time the MC lies to himself that he wasn't moved cause' of what the ML did for him. Most don't like the ML cause of the 'rape' but it wasn't r*pe since the MC originally agreed to do it but the ML really went a little too far cause' it was his first time and his resistance wasn't all fantasy-like most novels when the ML magically knew what to do or how to do a lot of stuff and heal the MC, btw the ML never had experience beforehand so he didn't know he had to prepare the MC before ehm. I love the Luke, I'm your father vibe later on ps: you'll what I mean if you read most of it

Listen. It was good maybe even great. My only complaint was Zhou Ying. I NEVER care about the side characters, but the one time I do the author leaves me hanging.

... more>>
Spoiler

The last thing we see about him was him crying 😭 what happens next? Did he remember? Do I even want him to? Being the only person to remember an entirely different set of memories while knowing that someone... someone important is missing.

[collapse]

I agree with another person here and was more interested in the relationship of Zhou Ying and MC. I do like MLxMC and their scenes but I already knew how they were going to end. I wanted MC to step up for Zhou Ying more in a genuine sense and for that relationship to grow. I really enjoyed their scenes and felt we didn’t get enough time with them.

Also, a lot of information was left out

Spoiler

I thought the author was going to make their world real because of the scenes in the western type place where it was implied that there was like a broader area outside the novel. But that idea was never explored again. Secondly, the boundaries between the virtual and true reality was never explained. We learn that Xiao Ling was an AI based off an actual person but was unexpectedly life like. It’s never explained what that is? And are the other characters also capable of this or were they acting off their programmed personalities? 😢 like don’t leave me here. I need answers.

It’s shounen-ai and not yaoi; there’s no H scenes unfortunately. A good read. It’s a comedic story, not to take things seriously. I was disappointed that there was no H scenes. Also, if people have too much problem with dub-con then don’t read and make s*upid fuss.

I'd have preferred if it wasn’t a simulation/fake world but instead a real transmigration story with real world.

This story could have been developed well if author put more effort but they seemed to just wanted it to be sweet comedic story.

I love the misunderstandings, desperate lying, and wrapper story! The pampering and slow relationship development is very satisfying. This is a fun read without any deep moral. The only criticism I have is that the demon story ending came too quickly and was essentially unresolved.

I think it's a shame that people might be put off from reading this novel because of the slightly lower ratings (tags and a couple reviews should be enough warning for those that dislike dubcon). The novel bashing because of the dubcon/noncon in a fantasy is... more>> a bit tiring. Please just be aware that coerced s*x would not be OK in real life, no matter how interesting it sounds in a novel. That said, I think it's reasonable to trust other readers to have the intelligence and awareness to not bring fantasy into reality once they know its not acceptable (unless the other party fully consents and has safe words). Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome people are more aware of what true consent should be (and what it isn't). I think it's awesome that people recognize when full consent is not present in novels. But just like how people should be trusted not to go on violent rampages just because they see them in movies, books, video games, etc, I think people can be trusted to not to r*pe someone because it sounds sexy in a book. <<less

Honestly I wanted to drop after ch 70 but kept reading in hope of it getting better. I honestly don’t think I want to finish it. Like a lot of the other reviews it was to do with SA. The way it is handled and viewed as the MCs fault. It is truly a shame because I liked the MC and the ML. I also liked their duo and interactions. However their relationship got toxic, manipulative, and abusive. I haven’t read through the rest of the chapters but I don’t... more>> think it gets better.

4-4.3/5 because of the great writing and translation

As everyone in the comment stated, it was really, really good in the early chapters but for me it was the same until the end. The interactions between the MC, ML, and the system are truly hilarious, nice, there's also plot and tears. I would've saw some light if the ML tried harder after what he did and didn't ended up as a joke/comedy on it.

... more>>
Spoiler

Like okay, in the story it was said that Demons has like animal instincts unlike humans, let me just think that's why he ended up moving and forgetting ****. But he also lied to get it/MC and he did a second time to BY again, so minus points... Let's say MC is easy to coax but.. he still developed shadows for it.. So it's a no-no right for us right?

But if the r*pe didn't exist or if the ML repented so hard in the first time and they never did a second time/did just connect, did enough repenting, no coercion too to make your head hurt you would be rating it 4-5 stars, no?

But We also know that he's the demon king.... So idk, it was already said in the story he believed that he is a ruthless, arrogant and cold (not to mention, a virg*n in relationship [and he didn't seek out some advice to Hua]) demon lord himself, he also forgot his memories so... He won't be a demon king if he's nice, that's ooc. Unless he got the best surroundings to pick up good deeds... Victim blaming is a headache. System, you should've been on the side of BY but who am I to say that?

Would've like the story more or would give 5 stars if there are extras showing their relationship or treatments in the real world would be better. Also to know if the ML is sincere and learned his faults.
