The Gangster Took the Scumbag Script

Description

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

In every book, there would be a s*umbag who’s despicable, selfish and insidious, and hurts others miserably.

When the boss got the s*umbag script, he turned things around in minutes and wrote the face-slapped script.

Of course, it was someone else’s face!

I have MTL this to Arc 6 and am enjoying it. I am so happy it was picked up for TL! Thank you DragonTea!! I look forward to your translation

As far as the story goes, there is no permanent CP, FL is different in each Arc. The Arcs tend to focus on ML trying to learn and become more powerful. I like how the ML and the system interact

Arc 2 and Arc 5 were my favorites so far

Firstly, a big thank you to the authors for another great novel of this genre and keeping up with my expectations. I also wanna thank the translators for always having the best quality translations and the small remarks about Shaohua made me smile knowing the callback to the other novel.

Similar to “Boss Level Face-slapping Specialist [Quick Transmigration]”, this also deserves a 1000/5 rating! After finishing Xu Zifan and Shaohua’s story, I didn’t realize the author had a similar kind of story and 2 chapter even mentioned both.

It was endearing to... more>> have Shaohua being mentioned by Tao Rui and Liu Nian, even surprised to know Liu Nian idolized Shaohua as a system. The author is great at brining to life and putting personality to their systems making it an enjoying read. I’m even more happy to know there is a sequel.

The main lead Tao Rui and the system, later known as Liu Nian are characters you can’t help but root for and idolize. The interesting personalities, their way of thinking, and how the story flows entertains a reader all throughout.

I won’t say more because nothing beats reading it and seeing for yourself. I binged read this and although it may have also been powered by the fact that I had so much majors to study that the energy to procrastinate has led me to spend some of my study time for this novel but I can surely attest that this kind of story that has a similar vibe to the other work of the author is an interesting novel for this genre.

It isn’t cliche, not one to raise your blood pressure, and wouldn’t really make you question your morals as the main lead’s actions are far just and actually only gives punishments to those who really have done wrong with reasons. He gives opportunities and chances for the so called “antagonist” which was obvious in some worlds wherein we can say that their parts played in the original way of things wouldn’t have labelled them as the villains but with the main lead there, they showed their true personalities and didn’t use such chances or opportunities for the good which led to their just desserts.

Highly recommended, wanna have a popcorn and see everything from a screen because imagining wasn’t enough to see how cool Tao Rui was. Enjoy and have fun! I’m off to the sequel! <<less

How should I put it? The arcs are good, but I don't like the MC. He started out great.

At the start, he seems to be someone with emotions and understanding, while the novel introduction has arcs; he becomes a very 2D character, even a 1D character at times.

He stopped caring about going OOC and gave the most absurd reason for the change, which no one believed.

All I need to do is read 2-3 chapters at the start of each arc, and I can already tell what will happen in the... more>> future.

The story becomes flat as it keeps going on. Sometimes I even find the s*umbag stories more entertaining than him.

I wanted the author to put what reason for s*umbags to become evil, were they simply foolish, arrogant, or narcissistic?

Instead, we have an MC which have no personality of his own. I even found side characters with just a bit of screen time more entertaining.

Spoiler

In the second arc, his girlfriend become a genius out of nowhere (who apparently didn't even have too much education and was from a very backward village). She never questioned MC Stone's gambling skills.

In the apocalypse arc, he keeps getting stronger, and no one is questioned like nobody. It was so absurd he was getting stronger and killing zombies while he was shivering to look at them just a few hours before.

I know he gave an explanation that he was a doctor, so he was scared to kill but it was kinda absurd as a doctor has to always be prepared to lose a patient if something goes wrong, but let's just say it was feasible- but in the morning, he was scared of zombies and in the afternoon, he charged alone in the shop full of zombies. There was no gradual process??

Also, he had three powers. Were side characters kids? Never suspecting or even thinking he was dangerous to have so much power??

In the arc, he was an idol; oh god, in the whole arc, it was repeating, 'he used to manipulate others, but something stimulated him. Now he dedicated himself to his career.' Sigh, I lost my bunch of brain cells.

And don't come to me saying that it's just fiction. It works differently from reality. First things first, this story was not like this from the start. Some Arcs, like in which he becomes the second male lead, are very well written, and I can really digest how he changed and the path he took.

I also liked the first Arc and third arc, so obviously, it was not that the story was only written for brainless purpose.

Okay, that's all I have to rant :P

(Also I kinda disagree with xXShiratori that it is not cliche. It is full of chinese cliche. The only thing it didn't have was classic chinese ab*se of blind love, otherwise the story is filled with cliches. From changing at birth to getting popular for just existing to MC is god who is not bad in anything 😅)

[collapse]

Anyway, the translator did a very good job!! <<less

Review: 4.5/5

I think it’s excellent quick transmigration story. My requirement for quick transmigration genre are:

-no character collapse

... more>> I really appreciate that this tao rui is always faithful to the original character setting. If personality change is needed, the change is reasonable.

-solution and life path not repetitive

Some qt stories always ends up circling back to doing business, fighting, or healing someone. In this one, if the original owner had certain job, tao rui would try to succeed in it instead of randomly doing other things. His passion of studying also makes it enjoyable since he is doing all sort of things so each arc is unique. He dabbles in research, medicine, politics, metaphysics, psychology, business, depending on the setting of the world.

-each arc should be concise

Some qt has the arc going on for too long or each arc is of different quality, making it bit hassle to finish. This novel arcs is quite similar in quality and they’re not too long each. Of course it does mean that the emotional investment for each arc would be less, but for me it’s not so much a downside.

Other thing that should be noted is tao rui rarely use any golden finger, which I like <<less
