The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man

Description

Shen QingShu, 22, died in an accident. His biggest regret before his death was that he’d been single all his life. He obviously wasn’t a monk, but he’d never eaten meat.

Then, when he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome, self-assured man standing before him. The handsome man parted his thin lips slightly and asked, “Wanna have a one-night stand?”

Shen QingShu didn’t hesitate at all. “Let’s do it! Twice!”

The next morning, Shen QingShu woke up aching all over. Only then did he discover he’d transmigrated into a book. The handsome guy beside him who’d gone two rounds with him was the protagonist gong, Han Cheng, the second son of the Han Group.

And the original owner of this body was just a disliked, death-seeking cannon fodder.

Shen QingShu: …Well, this is f*cking awkward.

But Shen QingShu didn’t panic. Anyway, he was just a cannon fodder. He figured they’d part in a few days

He knew he was a tool man, a character who only existed to develop the plot.

-Half a year later-

Shen QingShu looked at the man next to him and wondered: It’s been more than six months. Why hasn’t he left already?

Until the day he saw the protagonist shou and Han Cheng meet by accident.

Tool man Shen QingShu immediately felt the call of duty. Eyes shining, he prepared to push the plot forward.

“Don’t come looking for me in the future.” Shen QingShu was extremely self-aware.

Han Cheng was shocked. “Why? Do you have feelings for someone else? Who is it?”

Shen QingShu: … Darling, this reaction isn’t quite right.

“I don’t accept this,” Han Cheng said, furious. “One day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace. Can you even calculate how much grace we have?”

Shen QingShu: … No, wait, what are you talking about? It’s not like I’m your wife. I’m just a tool man, and it’s time for me to go offline!

However, Shen QingShu found that not only did the protagonist gong refuse to let him go offline, he was going to make him his bride!

Shen QingShu: I’m crying.

Drag for way too long. Too tiring to read. Repetitive.

At least the chapters have Titles. Thank goodness for that, I can just skip chapters. Even after skipping 5 or more chapters, it really doesnt feel that ive missed something.

I find the MC ML bickering quite funny though.

Although the whole car thing was getting really annoying as the story goes on.

I couldnt finish this.

Other people had already reviewed and I'd just give 4.5 stars here for HILARIOUS and INCREDIBLE character dynamics but it felt a bit short from 5 stars bc yes it's a bit too long.

ANYWAYS, I just wanna say, DID ANYBODY REALIZE THAT THE AUTHOR BASICALLY SLIPPED THEIR WRITERSONA INTO SHEN QINGSHU?? 🤣🤣🤣 They're both an author who writes various novels but essentially with the same CP in different circumstances and different personalities 🤣🤣🤣 you'd see that in many of this Author's novels, especially the showbiz transmigration ones, the MC has 'Qing'... more>> in their names and the ML has 'Chen/Cheng', same with Shen Qingshu who only writes about Su Qing and Cheng Han 🤣🤣🤣

First, Yan Qingchi & Jiang Mochen in [Transmigrated into the Film Emperor's Death-Seeking Fiance]

Then, Ji Qingzhou & Chu Cheng in [Reborn As The Villain President's Lover]

Then, Shen Qingshu & Han Cheng in [The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man]

Then, Ling Qing & Yu Chen in [The Film Emperor Asks for Divorce Every Day]

Then, Su Qingci & Wen Yicheng in [Transmigrating as a Stand-in Canon Fodder for President Wen] 🤣🤣🤣

Then, Pei Qingjian & Lin Xingchen in [After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was In A Paid Relationship With the CEO]

mind you all the shous are budding film emperors and all the gongs are CEOs 🤣🤣🤣

Ah yes of course, there's also Su Qing & Cheng Han in [The Villain Insists on Marrying Me], which is the first novel supposedly written by Shen Qingshu. If you read it you'll notice Cheng Han's shamelessness resemblance with Han Cheng lmao <<less

3.5/5

So firstly, I agree with most of the reviewers in that it's TOO LONG. The premise is that he becomes a tool man once the main protagonist of the world appears but it took forever for that to happen and when he did, it only lasted a couple of chapters. It's obvious that the plot won't go the way it's supposed to since they spent months with each other already culminating their feelings.

But that aside, I think this is quite the funny story. I saw some reviews that mentioned a... more>> lot of the face slapping was unnecessary but it coincides with the characters' settings.

Spoiler

SQ doesn't want to have HC as proper backing, he wants to stand on his own, so he tries to resolve things by himself. Although HC still helps him on the down low, he also says he knows SQ has to develop by himself and also showcase his own talent to be loved by others and not just by him, because he thinks he's that great. That's why they waited until SQ has enough of a background to stand beside HC, and he just cheered him on and showed support in his own way without abusing his power as a rich second-generation.

[collapse]

Its entertaining and funny but alas, the translation isn't quite up to par. Aside from the usual grammatical errors, there are times where whole words/phrases are missing so I end up just skipping that entire sentence altogether. There were also times when the names are incorrect so it's hard to tell who's talking. I.e. SQ said "". "", Replied SQ - so it's like he's talking to himself.

Overall a good read, but the translation quality (although I applaud the TL, I would just like to suggest getting an editor?) and how long it is really bums me out, hence the 3.5. The length especially, since at some point the plot (since it's pretty generic as danmei goes) gets so repetitive that I have to put it down. The sugar in this is great though so if you're a fan of fluff, highly recommend! <<less

Truth to be told, the beginning of this novel is good. But from 100+ Chapter up it's getting s*upider, I can't continue it anymore. The plothole is getting too many and MC who look smart from beginning now look so s*upid to me.

But what annoy me the most is another side character. I have read many showbiz novel and this is the first time I hate their good/bad comments about MC so much. At first I just go along with it but I can't anymore

    1. Spoiler

      Also the minor villain all look s*upid, they are like Mary Sue story villain

It is one of those must read one's for fluff and enjoyment.

My fav character is ofcourse ML bro. I wanted him for myself but author gave him to Mc's bro.

No brain dead MC or possessive, indifferent ml.

... more>> Rather a very smart MC and a very gentle funny ML with worthy Oscar acting skills.

Everyone is an actor here.

Side characters are amazing except antagonists

The most annoying person is ori shou. Yaa he is like the whole world should revolve around him despite the fact he has no charms as such. I really hate him for destroying/using ML in original parallel world. ML is such an angel, he deserves only MC who loves him so much that he is ready to let him go if ML is more happy with oriMC (which he won't be) .

Annoying people parts are cured by the fluff so don't worry. <<less

yall I have read so many dog blooded thick plot angst complicated etc etc iykwim and this novel IS HEALING ME FOR SURE. There are some chapters that bored me, it's when they shoot for their first variety show together but overall I enjoyed this so much. I dont want this to end I wanna keep reading it 😭 this is suit for those readers who's kinda had enough and got their brain exploded for reading heavy danmeis and need some time to recover. I dont think after I read... more>> this, I could read the heavy ones for the next few months. Definitely what im looking for for a fluff romance-centered. The couple is very into skinship and kissing, it's just sooo my type when im craving fluff 😂 so if some of you happen to be in my situation (burn out or smth) please give it a try. Im trying to look at more danmei like this, life been hard so much this book feels like summer breeze and antidote for me. If you have some recommendations, please do tell me. Thank you.

i want to give it a 10 stars if I can, definitely biased bc it's totally MY TEA. <<less

The story was pretty fun at first but then the whole joke about car and driver is getting repetitive and I’m tired of it. The slapping face scene is so bland. Their arguments is so boring and meaningless. It’s just like a fight between kindergarten kids.

Im not even done reading but I have already decided on 5⭐️ for this novel. 5 chapters in and im already laughing till my stomach hurts. The cars, greentea, and teacup dog is killing me omgoodness. THE BURN N FACE SLAP IS SO SATISFYING AHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA IM DED

I LOVE THE MC *wipe tears away*

The ML is also very funny though. The way he says something then 10secs later he takes it back cause that reaction was totally not what he was expecting hahaha. They really suit each other well 🥲

IM DONE.... more>> Anyways this novel is very funny although a little dramatic. If you're looking for something that can make you laugh then this novel is really perfect. Other than that, the novel is also super sweet. I felt like they just dunked truckloads full of sugar on me. The MC and ML really love each other 🥹🥹 their love felt so pure and genuine, like wanting the best for each other.

This novel is long ngl. The first half of it is more like resolving friends and family conflict and getting to know each other. As well as some dramas. The second half will be focused more on their relationship itself. Quite nice if you have the time to read. Also, the extras were vvvvv sweet.

Spoiler

for example, HC proposed to SQS in the novel world in the extras. Then when the both of them kind of return back to SQS's world, HC proposed in the same way again 🥲

"I love you." He heard Han Cheng whisper in his ear.

He felt Han Cheng hugging him from behind, with his profile against his.

"The sunset is the end of a new day, and I like Qingqing very much today."

"When the sun rises, a new day begins, and I like Qingqing very much; when the sun sets, a new day ends, and I also like Qingqing very much. Every day there is a new sunrise and sunset. Every day, I like Qingqing very much."

"So..."

Han Cheng pressed Shen Qingshu's shoulder and made him turn to face himself.

He looked at his young, handsome, lively and splendid lover, and his voice was moving and sincere, "So, can Qingqing marry me? In this world, marry me again."

He once proposed to him at sunrise and said that he would love him every day, but now, at sunset, he proposed to him again and promised him his love again.

Shen Qingshu nodded involuntarily, and responded softly, "Yes, of course."

5 star comedy + 5 star romance

First part is mostly comedy which is just hilarious. 👌 Although maybe people new to chinese humor would feel lost but I’m enlightened to it so I practically read every chapter smiling and chuckling. Every. Chapter. (Except for when drama happens which is maybe just a handful or two)

But my favourite is definitely the romance. Oh sweet, sweet romance. Their chemistry is just so mm-hmm *chef’s kiss*. Even individually, I love both MC and ML I want to keep them in a cage... more>> for me to watch (lol). But them together is 10x the sugar I’m so high in dopamine.

And ML just set the bar too high. How else do I live? 😞 I actually finished reading this yesterday and for a whole day I’ve been looking for something else to read but no other ML could satisfy me. ☹️☹️☹️ Their love is so beautiful and heartwarming I swim in honey. I don’t think I‘ve read a dynamic like their own before.

Aside from MC and ML, other characters were also very lovable. Especially elder brother and Xiao Bai 😆. Wu Yang was also funny.

Altho the antagonists I find very stereotypically deranged and nonsensical. But I’m not here for them nor their drama anyway so I’m good with this. What’s more, because of them there were a lot of hilarious ‘plays’. 🤣 Overall, definitely a must read. <<less

Relationship 10/5

Plot... 4.5/5 slowly falling down to 3/5

If a relationship this good was paired with a plot that doesn't make you consider dropping any time it focuses on anything other than the relationship, it would be my favorite novel ever. It's clear that the author loves MC dearly and wants to smother him with success and happiness, regardless of whether it's interesting to read or not.

As my writing teacher said "the more victories your character has, the less readers will care about the next one" and this is the case... more>> where it's hard to care anymore.

I still recommend people to read it, though. It will take a lot of chapters before those problems appear. If you do get bored, you can drop it, but do at least give it a chance.

Also, if anyone knows novels with similar relationships (supporting, fully consensual, don't treat s*x as the ultimate holy thing in a relationship but focus on building emotional bonds instead) plz message me. I am DESPERATE for more novels like this. <<less

This is the kind of novel that just gets better and better as the plot progresses.

warning spoilers ahead.

first of all what was completely unique and stood out to me was how the novel started off immediately with the ML and MC being s*x friends or more appropriately fu*k buddies since they never had any prior friendship really. it was interesting to watch how the ML and MC were satisfied with the night that they would keep going on... though I must admit that their relationship was basically dating with the... more>> amount of intimacy and their level of interaction.

what truly enrichened this novel were all the side characters, antagonists and even passers-by. the level of comedy and parody in this was mind-blowing. I actually regret the author not having had more of those with the ML's family included...i would love to have seen that. The ML's friends and little comments made the story so much fun.

on that note, I honestly have to appreciate this ML. There is will be no more of an understanding, gentle and loving male such as him... truly his love has no bounds and he is the kind of man anyone would hope for. He kept their relationship healthy, fun, engaging... avoided misunderstandings, was trustful and honest... amazing. tbh reading about cold ML's where they scare and avoid MC's friends getting jealous and are extremely possessive is so tiring. this guy is stable, and mature yet is still approachable. will be jealous reasonably does his best not to restrict his partner, and realises when he's gone too far. acknowledges the MC's efforts, treatment, love and care.

the mutual love and pampering are just *chef's kiss.

I highly recommend this for a good dose of romance, comedy, proactive MC, mutual pampering., A healthy relationship, playful banter with friends/family/lover, a male lead who is a ball of sunshine lighting up the MC's world and so so SO much more...

this novel just gets more interesting as the plot further develops, if you feel like it suddenly is bland just wait for a chapter and you'll never regret going on...I almost dropped it cuz I was in the mood for something more exciting and thank the lord I read the next chapter cuz god do I know what I could have missed!

everything is solved well and no loopholes are left. nobody should or ever could regret reading this...

the worldbuilding, character background, plot, execution, story flow, main cp, side characters basically-EVERYTHING is well done.

never been more satisfied. I don't even need to read the extras to be content. well done to the author and lovely translator who can make this fine work of art able to truly bring out its potential.

I 100% recommend it. <<less

Thank goodness I waited for the translator to update halfway before reading. I love the dynamics of the relationship and they were absolutely hilarious together. I actually don’t mind the car/driver references, it’s like their own special inside joke. I didn’t get it at first but it makes sense and it’s kinda funny if you think about it. Plot has face slapping and MC’s career succeeding, but I’m really just desperate for the fluff between MC/ML.

I love this story. This is such a genuinely healthy and loving partnership, it's a breath of fresh air in a genre populated with toxic and dub-con relationships. Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng are really kind to each other, they communicate, they compromise, they collaborate on mutual goals. Every chapter is full of them respecting each other's opinions, values, goals, autonomy and health. The s*x is - and I cannot stress this enough - fully consensual every time and it's always discussed in advance what they're both willing to do. It's fade to black for the actual deed, but the discussion of it before and after is almost always shown. I'm so amazed by this aspect of the story that even if the rest was bad, it would make the story readable.

But the rest isn't bad, the rest is amazing too. Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng are so damn hilarious, every chapter made me laugh. They're into role-playing, so the whole plot of the fic so far is just them trolling all their family and friends. They haven't yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if they started role-playing during s*x too at some point.

The familial relationships are on point. Han Cheng's healthy family dynamic contrasted with Shen Qingshu's toxic one makes for a really compelling parallel. Han Cheng's brother is a national treasure and I will defend him until the day I die. I'm president of Han Yu's fan club, please and thank you. He's always teasing Han Cheng but also always defending him. Shen Qingshu's brother, Shen Qingyu, is something of a mixed bag. He's awful but also pitiable, disgusting and tragic at the same time. He's trying to survive, it's just that he thinks the only way to do it is to pull Shen Qingshu down. In his defense, the Shen parents are so terrible that it probably is the only way for him to survive.

There are a lot of friendships so far too. Han Cheng's group of friends are hilarious, especially when they tease Han Cheng, and the main couple's friendship with Bai Xuege, an underage acting star, is really cute and hilarious.

There isn't any relationship drama so far. The 'white moonlight' showed up but it didn't upset Han Cheng's and Shen Qingshu's relationship at all, they trust each other too mush for that. The only relationship drama is them trolling others and making up scandals for their own twisted amusement.

[collapse]

All in all, this story is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone grossed out by all the coercion, manipulation and outright ab*se so common in most bl c-novels.

I won't say much 'cause although imma still at ch. 13, I dunno if I'm reading a malexmale or humanxcar, although I know it has another meaning on it sometimes I forgot and be confused for a sec 'cause of the idioms used in the novel that is so utterly confusing and annoying

I have high expectations 'cause of the others reviews to this novel but... nah. Recommended for those who are highly tolerant and understanding individuals out there.

And here I thought why I still get notifications about this novel on the forum (thanks to all who left likes on the spoiler thread :))

If I had an idea that this was picked up and added to the NU I'd run to leave my two cents. And here they are :'D you can imagine me dramatically throwing few coins in.

When I started reading this novel it was still on-going (thus the spoiler thread was opened) and it was actually quite fun. It didn't have the weirdest beginning out... more>> of all time, so it had an ok start and fun continuation to it. But after most conflicts were resolved the story was basically dragged out and author also added like a hundred extras after that. You can't say that all sh*t started to break loose, but honestly the overdragged style to put more just moved this novel from the "good" to "ok". In the end my rating for it would be around 3, 5 / 5.

Let's start from something positive:

    • Refreshing things to me when MCs don't act according to routines, it was really good to my heart to see how MC didn't put the green tea brother in his eyes and didn't play around and mostly said things right into people's faces, although he did play the script with ML, but you know what I mean if you read. Sometimes I like reading more of queenly MCs who don't forbear.
    • I really liked the idea of ML not being far in age from MC. And him not being the cold-blooded type of president. It was refreshing to read a character like that. Because some maturity he acquired while being with MC, despite their constant childishness of playing roles in front of other people. And he also has an older brother, so it's understandable why he grew up this way, more unrestrained and free. It also gave MC ideas that he likes ML the way he is and he doesn't want him to change like in the "original" story that he read, where ML had to always compromise and bow down to situations simply losing himself. Not to mention that basically he was used as a stand-in to others two times.
    • The story is light-hearted, has a load of humor, doesn't drag on conflicts and the main set knot at the beginning (MC waiting to move on when the original "destined" person arrives) is resolved rather quickly.
    • It actually has more or less developed side-characters that are fun to bring in. Like the older brother, I liked how he made fun of ML with good humor and others. Ahahaha just remember about the SQS victims assosiation.
But in the end, some of these positive things had a negative effect on the story for me. It's all personal opinion and you have all the right to disagree. When I read it, sometime I felt that the situations of MC and ML playing roles in front of others or their ideas of playing scripts was overused, it also felt strange how others, mostly everyone, believed in their bs. I just felt that the amount of those situations was a little too much, so it lost its' original freshness. Shortly, many jokes were overused.

I also felt that the whole knot and MC's attitude towards the original story and "destined" partner was a bit weird and also quite selfish, because when time came he simply one-sidedly decided for both of them. At other times he didn't lack IQ to analyze things and people, but when it came to main conflict it became like that and it felt strange that his trigger was seeing the "protagonist" having an ambiguous relationship with a man similar to ML instead of his own selfishness and deep love for ML that he decided to push the "protag" away and leave ML to himself and give him the love he deserves. Maybe at least dealing with the MC's "brother" was handled better. But that villain guy really smelled of being portrayed quite one-dimensional, so...

Since I'm not really surprised to see the story after the conflicts a bit dragged out and also having ton of extras, after all it's the author's style, so I won't mention it in greater details. It just exists and it's a fact.

All in all it's a fine read, very easy, simply for leisure reading, doesn't have too many negative things to mention, follows the author's style and routines and that is basically it.

It's funny to me how eventually I evaluate their novels in the same way, like they're definitely not bad, but I can't put them on display. When it started ti was possible to compliment and have big expectation, but by the end of it your expectations and opinions start to cool off :'D <<less

Added to my favs to re-read. I really liked this. Was expecting a lot of angst and only non-serious moments, but was pleasantly surprised with some crack moments, some tears, and a lot of satisfaction. I can’t tell you who I liked more: the MC or the ML. Both are hilarious and vibe with each other well.

The misunderstandings are also resolved pretty quickly, and I love that they care for each other that they realize only they can suit each other.

The whole MC almost stepping back for the original shou... more>> protagonist like mentioned in summary almost hurt my heart, only for MC to realize
Spoiler

the ori!shou doesn’t really like ML for who he is but has some misconceptions about the ML

[collapse]
and how the MC is so protective (green flags) over that knowing how original ML suffered makes my heart burst with fondness. Like really emphasized how MC and ML are best suited for each other.

Obviously, I enjoyed the faceslapping moments as well.

Hilarious moments and a loving relationship. What more can I ask for? <<less

It was funny overall, but it felt dull as the time went by.

Around chapter 80+++ or something, the main plot just started. It's kind of tiring to wait, because I started reading this novel for the plot in the summary so I kind of expected it to be quicker pace than this.

The metaphor of car and driver stopped being funny after the first 30 chapters.

Currently at chapter 141.

I really love how the story started, I've never read such Bickering Couple before. The ML was well written. I like how he was considerate towards the MC. Although it seems they lack iq when they were acting while faceslapping the characters, it was quite entertaining until it kept being repeated. It wasn't hilarious nor funny anymore. When they got together, it seems their little bantering they used to do before, completely vanish. I don't like that. You can be sweet to your partner and on top... more>> of that bicker together. It used to be fluffy when they got together until the author decided that every single chapter afterword would be sweet fluffy annoying moments. I realized at some point I stopped laughing and became indifferent while reading until it turned into Complete annoyance. I should have known it when author decided to spend so much time when MC was filming his first drama. There were too many chapters, but I thought author would keep up with the comedy so I kept reading until it turned into fluufy annoying without Comedy.

200+ chapters for a modern day slice of life faceslapping novel, I should have known it would be dragging. You can't have every single chapters describing their love. It's to repetitive. Dropping at 141, I don't think further chapters would be that entertaining anymore. <<less
