#I'll edit this and add the arc summaries at the end once I've finished them#

This is definitely going to be a case where my dislike list is longer than my like list, but overall the novel wasn't bad. It was just your bog-standard cannon fodder counterattack novel with mysterious identities and pasts on both the ML's and the MC's sides.

It also read to me as a half-formed novel that really needed a redraft, as there were a lot of things that went unaddressed or forgotten about that (to me) seemed... more>> important to know or needed addressing to fill a plot hole.

Also, the title has nothing to do with what occurs in the plot.

But otherwise, I would be willing to read this again.

Main Premise:

MC = Su Jingxuan

ML = Jiang He

Su Jiangxuan, like many counterattack MCs, has been f-ed over by fate in his reincarnations, as they were all either cannon fodders, villains, or people that had no direct correlation to the 'protagonists' of the worlds but still had a bad ending as a consequence of them.

Our MC remembers most of his reincarnations' pasts and, whilst he'd tried to fight against fate intially, in his most recent life he'd given up trying to go against fate. However, in this life, he'd had his lover who had tried to protect him from his fate but had ended up dying alongside our MC.

MC feels that this is likely to be his last life as he feels that his soul is one death away from dissipating and is sad that he won't be able to see his lover again. However, he ends up getting dragged into a castle-type room where he meets a black-robed ma who, despite being hostile towards the MC, offers him a chance to see his lover again on the condition that he fulfils the wishes of the cannon fodders.

MC, whilst distrustful of the black-robed man, agrees as he really wants to see his lover again, and if trusting this weirdo will allow it, then it's a risk worth taking.

However, as the MC travels through the world's, and with his interactions with the black-robed man inbetween worlds, our MC realises that the black-robed man is familiar with both himself and his lover to a strange degree. But whilst the man seems to hate the MC, he restrains himself from hurting him, and also has a respectful and worshipful attitude towards the MC's lover.

What I liked:

    • I know insta-love isn't for everyone, but I quite liked it. And there was no MC differing about trying to figure out whether the ML was his lover. The MC always recognised the ML on sight as the ML always looked the same and the MC felt the ML's aura/magnetic pull. I also like how the ML always seemed to be instantly drawn to wherever the MC was like how
      Spoiler

      in arc 1, the ML feels the need to return to China otherwise he'll miss an important 'treasure' so he immediately hops on an aeroplane to get there.

      [collapse]
      And how this inexplicable 'intuition' on the ML's part is continued in pretty much all the arcs, except maybe arc 3 and the last arc/epilogue? As the ML was where the MC was for plot reasons in arc 3. And then in the last arc the ML technically hadn't been the MC's lover yet
      Spoiler

      because of time travel reasons.

      [collapse]
    • Also, the ML (despite the pull towards the MC) always seems to try to make the MC work for his attention (or at least pretends to) and then regrets it later as he realises he could have been lovey dovey with MC earlier, lmao. (Though this element isn't as developed as it could be, and only briefly appears.)
    • The MC is also really shameless and it's quite funny to read.
      Spoiler

      MC immediately jumps the ML (quite literally) in the first 3-seconds of seeing the ML in the first arc before realising the ML doesn't remember him, lmao.

      [collapse]
      This is especially true when the MC is around the ML, as he still (somewhat) tries to follow the personalities of the original hosts, but it never quite works as the MC's personality is just that overpowering.
    • MC also doesn't rely on the ML to fulfill his revenge missions, and even asks the ML to stay out of it (which he does... mostly). So the ML mostly acts as a deterrant for the protagonists and antagonists as his identity tends to be quite high-up/strong.
    • What the MC's identity (s) were. I honestly hadn't seen it coming. I had initially thought the black-robed man was hostile to the MC because he'd stolen the ML from him or something along those lines. And yet it's revealed that they're
      Spoiler

      brothers. Though Qi Yan (black-robed man) was unaware of this fact. (Elaborated on later in epilogue summary)

      [collapse]
      Though, how this reveal is handled later is a bit underwhelming.
What I disliked:

    • MC has his cunning moments but some of his resolutions, or the way he deals with the antagonists in each arc, come across as a bit hand-wavey. Sometimes things seem to happen out of nowhere, or we never see what caused the face-slap to occur.
    • MC saying he got clues about why he was transmigrating/who the ML really was, and yet never elaborating or explaining what he'd discovered, what it meant, or why it was important. So I couldn't keep up with his thought process, at all.
    • Also, in arc 4
      Spoiler

      we have that moment where the ML becomes his dragon form for a bit, and the protagonist of that world, Yan Junfeng, becomes a white-haired immortal to try and coax the og!host's soul out of the MC's body, as it turns out they're from MC's original world.

      [collapse]
      And I know that they're there to act as exposition, and to also mirror the original relationship between the MC and the ML, as well as
      Spoiler

      Qi Yan and Ji Beiyan

      [collapse]
      , but we never see them when the MC returns to his original world. So I don't understand why they seemed so familiar with the MC and the ML. Or why that event occurred in arc 4 as you could remove it and it wouldn't make much difference.
    • It was also unclear why or how the ML fell in love with the MC. As
      Spoiler

      I know they spent several months together when MC was Xiao Jiu and the ML was locked up by the Emperor, but the ML mostly ignored the MC during this time, and refused to react to MC's attempts at interaction/conversation. And whilst I know the MC basically told the ML about himself and the fact that they were lovers, that doesn't explain why or how the ML fell in love with the MC. As surely, if he'd recognised that the Jiang He in the MC's mouth was himself, the fact that the ML had no knowledge of their lover's relationship should have just had him thinking the MC was weird. And then when the MC left, they had no interactions prior to MC's death as Xiao Jiu. The ML only really interacted with the MC when he was Ji Xuan, and that happened a thousand years after Xiao Jiu's death, and at that point the MC didn't remember him. So the ML's sudden affection and possessiveness of Ji Xuan just seemed really weird.

      [collapse]
    • The use of flashbacks in the last arc/epilogue was also badly handled, as we kept jumping between present MC and past MC, and it was never entirely clear as to when the shift occurred. (But that might just be because of the MTL, so take this with a pinch of salt.)
    • Also, we didn't get a satisfying resolution between the black-robed man
      Spoiler

      Qi Yan

      [collapse]
      and the MC.
      Spoiler

      We know that Qi Yan adored Xiao Jiu, but was really hostile and malicous to Ji Xuan, both before his death and when Qi Yan found Su Jiangxuan to complete the tasks. Yet when Qi Yan found out Ji Xuan was his brother at the end, there was only a paragraph or so of Qi Yan being teary and asking for forgiveness, and then the MC just forgave him, and then nothing else was said or done about it???

      [collapse]
      It was really underwhelming, and I felt it could have been handled better as it was such an interesting dynamic/relationship to have considering everything that had happened between them.
    • Another plot hole/inconsistency that really bugged me was the fact that we know the MC had been reincarnating
      Spoiler

      after his death as Ji Xuan

      [collapse]
      as that's when the black-robed man finds him. And yet when the MC
      Spoiler

      becomes Ji Xuan a second time, it's only been several months after his death

      [collapse]
      so I don't understand why the MC was reincarnating before then, or why the black-robed man didn't look for the MC when he first died

      Spoiler

      as Ji Xuan.

      [collapse]
      Same with why the ML appeared in the MC's last reincarnation prior to MC beginning the tasks. Where was the ML before that?
    • Also, I was unclear as to why the MC had to begin the tasks. I know he was trying to 'save' the ML or something, but we're never told why the ML needs saving or what the consequences would be if the MC doesn't/fails.
    • Overall, the ending seemed really rushed as nothing really happens? Most of it is just the author explaining what had occurred and (sometimes) why. So it was a bit boring to read.
Things I'm undecided on:

    • I can't decide whether the novel mostly focused on the MC flirting with the ML, or if it was a good balance between plot and shameless CP scenes. This is mainly because I couldn't always tell why certain plot points occurred, and sometimes it seemed as if the MC and the ML were just sitting on the side whilst the author did the face-slapping instead of the MC?
Arc List:

    • Arc 1 = [BL] Modern Entertainment Circle - Chapters 1 - 21.
    • Arc 2 = [BL] Ancient China Imperial Harem (Gers, no CP mpreg) - Chapters 22 - 40
    • Arc 3 = [BL] Zombie Apocalypse - Chapters 41 - 58
    • Arc 4 = [BG] Modern Jewellery Competition - Chapters 59 - 83
    • Arc 5 + Epilogue = Cultivation - Chapters 84 - 101

First: The title doesn't describe the novel, it's whole different story from the title.

Second: It's great but the translation is making it worse. The translator needs a proofreader. When reader's is explaining something in the comment section its like translator doesn't understand it. Oh well, keep doing what you like and you'll eventually improve.

The story is not bad, but the translation is very frustrating. I am usually quite tolerant with bad grammar or MTL, but this takes it another level.

Be prepared to swap the names of the characters until u think it makes sense. I am not sure if the mistake’s from the original author or the translation, but sometimes, jiang he = ji xuan, or even more names mixed up.

Sometime u‘ll find multiple paragraphs of the same thing, but with different words. As though an editor had suggested a revised version and... more>> they just give it all to u to let u decide which one u prefer.

there are some parts I suspected the MTL had gotten the opposite meaning.

anyway, I am amazed that I finished the story despite all that. Wish the proof reading could have done a better job to give the story justice. <<less

I liked the arcs for this quick transmigration novel. It's the type where the plot is given to the MC and he then deals with the original owner's life and beats the protagonists. But there's no actual system going along with him, he has to do it all with his own smarts.

About the ML: ... more>>
Spoiler

He is a black dragon! He used to be a flood dragon but then he became the emperor of the Yao.

[collapse]

About the black robed man:
Spoiler

He is not the ML. He's the MC's brother's lover. And he's actually just searching for his lover's soul in the system and also helping the ML. He's not doing it for the MC because he doesn't know that the MC is actually his brother nine too from the past.

[collapse]

A slight warning not to get too confused near the end:

Spoiler

the confusion starts with chapter 84. After he gets attacked when entering the mirror/black hole from the hall (entering the mission world) the attack sends him back a thousand years in time. So that arc is what actually happened before. He went back in time and met his lover who fell in love with him as the spirit he was. So his original self in the reality actually met his lover and thought that he was a substitute because of that past life. And then went to war with the yao along with the hundred clans war. But he was still in love with the ML despite thinking he was being treated as a substitute he was going to be together with him but then the behind the scenes schemers threw him into the system space/forbidden area which is why he started doing missions in the first place.

[collapse]

Arc 1: entertainment circle/acting but the MC only acts in one movie/drama (?) which forms part of he revenge on the protagonist in an interesting way because it will be the only reminder he has of the romantic relationship they could've had (original owner x protagonist). The ML is a OP business man and he flys them to Sweden to get married while the MC is asleep🤣 The Protagonist should tries to splash dirty water on the MC by saying he was doing hidden rules but face slap
Spoiler

The MC was already a very famous business world star because of his stock trading. So there's an interview overseas that then slaps the bad commenters in the face. He's already financially more powerful than any of he 'big bosses' that could do hidden rules with a 'small idol' like him

[collapse]

Arc 2: Ancient Harem type with gets but no mpreg from the MC sadly🥲 the MC is a doomed family's young master who unfortunately ended up in he harem after the emperor already married and got obsessed with the protagonist shou. The ML is the war god not the emperor. And no the ML doesnt become the Emperor. But it's an interesting relationship due to the MC being the out of favor Emperess. About the plotline
Spoiler

DAMN I feel so bad for the protagonist shou and emperor in this one. They both got tricked. The protagonist gong is actually a s*um that lied and the protagonist shou thought he was his true love so he betrayed the emperor for the ging but the emperor turned out to be the real true love but then he was already dead. And the protagonist betrayed him so bad. And they weren't happy together despite living twice. 😭😭😭 Ahhh redemption is needed but it's too late. Also the reason why the original owner and his family got killed was because the protagonist gong told the shou that it was the nalan family who forced him to marry the emperor by recommendation. But it was obviously the Wei family because they wanted to use the protagonist shou to kill of the prime Minister's family and go after the throne.

[collapse]

Arc 3: zombie apocalypse. The MC is the spoiled son of a base commander. And the ML is placed on the enemy's side by the plot. ML doesn't really care though he just makes a habit of kidnapping the MC🤣 Also the ML can turn into a giant mutant wolf but sadly that cuteness is only used in the first few chapters 🥲 it could've been used more. The MC is a psychic power and the ML is a lightning x shape shifter type. The protagonist shou doesn't have any powers but he has a space
Spoiler

The space is actually a dragon token belonging to the ML

[collapse]

Arc 4: modern world terminal illness/jewelry designer MC x Army general with real power ML. OmO!!! I loved this arc so damn much!! The MC had a rare blood clotting problem? So he needed a bone marrow transplant but he had panda blood, the protagonist was going to do the surgery but he was like hell no🤣 I wouldn't want that scheming woman's bone marrow either! He used his soul power to slowly get better but still spend quite a long time in hospital. He met the ML in he hospital because of the ML's grandpa. Also the MC really shows off his talents in this arc again because of his jewelry design skills, chess skills, and he also carved a master level chess set for the ML's grandpa. He faceslaps in this one too when he proves that the female protagonist was plagiarizing.

The last arc is just the past and then the reality in the present and what the MC does when he knows the truth.
Spoiler

The war was started because his brother would've had a love calamity and not ascend because his lover his not the same species as him so he chose not to ascend. So his dad saved his soul and gave up the body to the clans in order to save him. But it caused the war because of his lover's reaction. But then the schemers used this war as an opportunity to reshuffle the power of the realm by destroying clans etc to steal resources. When the MC returns he reveals a list of the traitors in each clan to the realm and takes his brother's soul back to his lover. And then reunites with the ML. The end.

[collapse]

Also I noticed about the other characters in the 'system'
Spoiler

The souls trapped in that place become weaker and not themselves and eventually fades away. But disrupting the fate does the opposite so they grow stronger and then eventually breaks free. They would've faded too if the MC and ML didn't do the missions/break away from fate. And by doing the missions he is also giving those souls stuck inside an opportunity to break free from the 'system' by disrupting the pre-set fate.

Honestly, I think this book is undervalued. There are some name mixups and repetition either in the translation or original novel that make it a bit of a puzzle to figure out sometimes. However, I was able to get the general gist when that happened and enjoy the story despite the errors. I do think the number of names (and their variations, plus titles) added to the confusion, and there are definitely some details that I didn't fully understand.

The arcs were great - they followed the satisfying script of "person... more>> being harmed for little reason" getting their revenge. The MC is op, but not really in a way that felt like he could win lying down. There was still strategy, interesting maneuvers, and lots of people getting their just desserts.

The final reveal was a bit complex and so tricky to follow at first. However, the authors does clear things up and it's a pretty satisfying wrap up overall. The ending does come quickly (I would have loved follow up of some of the side couples, especially since they were some of the most confusing parts of the story).

Overall, there's no big moral (except maybe the value of love and sacrifices family and partners are willing to make for each other?). However, there's plenty of face slapping and happy endings, making this a pretty satisfying read. <<less

The plot makes no sense.

... more>>
Spoiler

why did they send him in reincarnation??Who did?? Who are the enemies???? Where did they come from??? They were just introduced, just like that.

In that arc they met that master/disciple couple. Where were they in the last plot??

Why was he bound to fate to the point he couldn't break from the Canon fodder setting? How did Yao emperor know he was in a reincarnation loop??? How did MC broke off from his restraints??? Why did he lose his memory? Why did Yao emperor once persue him but suddenly lost his memory?? Why was black robe the one greeting him every time???

And that part where he obtain the soul from his father, what the heck was that ending???? Somehow he just threw it at black robe who just accepted it and his identity, no questions and ML all this time wasn't here, just casually appear out of nowhere to welcome MC. They have s*x then the end.

Whaaaaaaaat?????

I'm not going to rate this because I didn't finish it.

Based on the premise of the story it was off to a good start, but the translation kind of ruined it for me. I can ignore the incorrect gender words (changing a character from male to female then back to male all in the same sentence) but the constant changes of where name should be, and then stating the opposite of what would have been said pretty much did me in. I hope the translator will come and edit it... more>> to make it more understandable. On to the novel. Up until the point where I've read, it seems to be a typical world hopping novel where the MC mainly relies on the ML's name or help from the beginning in order to complete their purpose. Don't know if that changes later on, but that's what I observed so far. <<less

The way this novel started was good. But the end was bad. The ending was really hasty and not even properly explaining the character's feelings. It could have been so much better if there were a few more arcs and if the ending was written a little better. But still I spent my time on it and enjoyed my journey from the start to end. Thank you for the novel author and continue writing more qt novels 😺

As others have said, after the first bunch of chapters it reads like mtl, which makes it a bit confusing. Especially when it feels like entire paragraphs were missed, as someone reacts to something we never saw.

Overall not a bad story, though short. It would have been nice if things were explained a little more and we'd gotten a little more fluff, but I'm also not dissatisfied with the tying up.

a great read, I wont mention description on arcs since the translation have titles per world^^ I will debunk that other review like the title. The title?? For me yeah not describes the whole novel. But ouuuur MC is straightforward, spicy and yeah surely sexy for ml. It was NOT a standard canon fodder novel like that other review says. MC has some memories of his past worlds- Though some memories are sealed (like theym he suffered a lot since he cant move on his own mind/action until ML saves... more>> him and changes the fate. He has a goal to meet his lover every world. And there's more to their past though some sentences in translation might lost the deeper meaning on some chapters. Anyways they was like in a time loop adventure and finally have their happy ending. <<less

Okay, I think I’ve figured out why this novel is so confusing. The translation quality isn’t very good. There are many parts that repeat, sometimes the repeated section is slightly altered, names and pronouns are mixed up frequently. It’s really frustrating, because I saw a couple comments under some chapters saying they were confused and the chapter may need editing but the translator just said that they will try to make future chapters easier to understand.

I think the novel itself is actually good, the issue seems to be the translation.... more>> I might try to MTL this and see if the translation turns out any easier to understand, otherwise I would recommend the original translator to edit their chapters, or if they are unwilling to do so, I hope someone else can translate this novel.

I don’t hate the translator at all, I just think they need a proofreader to help them edit chapters for better understanding.

For those that think the novel leaves some huge plot holes, I think the issue is, again, the translation.

Translation aside, I liked this novel. I always like BL QT, but I especially like a shameless MC and a yandere ML! :) <<less

The only thing good about this novel is the MC's blatant enthusiasm for his lover. Everything else is particularly dramatic counterattack clichés with extremely flat characters. The writing is not strong enough to fill these deficiencies either. The final hammer is the subtle way women in the novel have been reduced to nameless plot devices (at least in the first arc). I do realize after skimming the ending that the flatness of most characters may have been intentional. I'll say it again elsewhere in the review, but it's important in... more>> hindsight to acknowledge that the QT parts of this novel are just a disguise for the real overarching plot as a cultivation world novel. This new perspective makes the initial arcs a lot more tolerable.

That person outside the mirror obviously has little control due to the ML's interference and is likely to be the one who put the MC into the mirror to torture him to death in the first place. The MC's soul must have been really strong before to last so long despite constantly having his strength depleted by each death. The ML probably entered the mirror to replace/save the MC. This side character is likely throwing the MC back in just to get the ML back out. UNLESS the person outside the mirror is the ML, but that option does not overly suit the drama level of this author.

Arcs as of chapter 22:
Spoiler

Arc 1: Marry the s*umbag's Uncle to get Revenge aka Face-slapping the Substitute in the Entertainment Industry

Arc 2: Ancient Time Ger Fight to Green the Emperor (guess; don't know ML's identity yet, but there is no way it's a person with children with his strong exclusiveness. Only way ML is the MC's legal husband is if the concubines with children had slept with other men) aka the Male Concubine in the Harem

Remaining Arc titles from jjwxc

3: Reborn with Space to Face-slap in the Doomsday

4: The Vicious Male Supporting Role of a Dog-Blooded Rich Family (abrupt ending with big cultivation related reveals, not sure if entire arc is cultivation or not)

5: Xiaojiu Returns to the Beginning (Cultivation, MC is not human this arc)

6: Jixuan of the Sealed Dusty Memory (Entire arc of exposition)

6.5: End/Finished (Two chapter finale in the Real World)

[collapse]

Ending:
Spoiler

There are overall about 5 arcs. I skimmed part of the end in the raws. The final reveal will include both amnesia and time travel. The cliché is still strong but the mystery itself is not too bad. Still had some big issues with implementation unfortunately. The author starts to toss out a lot of backstory and details that leave the reader floundering. The exploration of the past was a touch I liked despite the confusion of ending the novel with multiple cultivation settings, but the long exposition that followed made me feel the author gave up a little. To put it bluntly, the good strong reveal that made this story somewhat unique was presented in the most boring way possible.

[collapse]

This isn't too long or terrible of a story. It may be worth a read if you are a big QT counterattack genre fan, like dragons, like taboo Romeo Juliet romance, or like big fights between righteous and demonic sects. This is ultimately a cultivation novel disguised as a isekai, so you need to be prepared for that. I myself will likely not touch it again until the translator finishes. I couldn't bring myself to work through the original novel so I won't rate it for now. I will update my review if I ever read this novel completely from beginning to end.

Black Cloaks Identity

Spoiler

This character seems pretty good. He is a good Friend of Xiaojiu (Arc 5 trip to the past) as well as the MC's sister-in-law. The hatred has good reason although the SiL is very impulsive due to a strong double dose of grief. He mostly hates that the MC has been 'replacing' his dead friend. This is easily resolved after the MC brings his living (??) brother to reunite with SiL and explains the understandable misconception. The mirror itself is a prison and the MC was placed there by a third party (the 13 clans?) as a trap for the ML in an attempt to kill them both. SiL does not actually intend to harm the ML's wife (at least at such a sensitive time where his greatest ally the ML is at risk) no matter how much he hates the MC. His honest feelings are most obvious when the third party takes a chance to destroy the mirror and he calls out 'no!!!' as his supposedly hated brother in law / friends fiancé fades away.

I wasn't sure whether to rate this novel at all at first and am still unsure how exactly to rate this, considering how I'm rating this while being unsure whether to read on, take a break or drop the novel all together. The thing is... I don't think the novel is all too bad. It's just your common quick wear/world hopping novel. Nothing really stands out.

The main leads seem to have mysterious backgrounds, sure, but that's also commonplace for this kind of novel by now. ... more>>
Spoiler

The most distinguishing part about the ML would be that he is a dragon demon emperor (?) that can't talk in his dragon form. Other than that he seems to be pretty standard: possessive, doting and powerful.

[collapse]

The MC is op, calculating, but seems to be controlled by his love brain whenever it comes to the ML. He acts spoiled and sticky with the ML quite fast whenever he meets the ML in a new world and the ML indulges him. Doesn't make much sense logic wise, but the explanation of sould connection/imprint is a common patch for that.

The reason why I stop reading here (at ch85) is because of the xianxia/xuanhuan development/arc. Having read quite a lot of novels belonging to this genre, I have reached saturation when it comes to cultivation plots. So I tend to skip or skim those arcs when they come up in a world hopping novel.
Spoiler

But seeing that the cultivation development seems to be an important part of the background story here, I feel like skipping it would be a disservice to the novel/author and would only confuse me more when I was already confused to begin with thanks to MTL.

[collapse]

Thus I think I will drop the novel here... That doesn't mean that the novel is bad or boring, just not my cup of tea at the moment. <<less

Only read if you have the extra brain energy to comprehend and connect dots because the translation would make you do that lol

Disappointed with the barely edited MTL translation (KnoxT). It was still readable at the first arc then the repetition of paragraphs or names and pronouns being exchanged came in. Can't really full judge the novel when you're having a hard time understanding it as a whole.

The story has potential though. I like the encompassing story (the last arc). However, it should've been hinted more at the start because... more>> the MC's motivation at the start is just opposing "fate" and his fate as a cannon fodder but that got lost. unless this info got lost in translation. The arcs are your typical plots in quick transmigration, quite good?

The MC and ML's interaction is what made me push through they are cute for me lol <<less

I really enjoyed the novel. Perhaps, due to reading in mtl, there were slight problems in perceiving the plot at the end. Otherwise, it's easy and cool to read. The same fanatical love of a strong couple.

I think this novel is fine, if you like the genre. I actually think the first several arcs are good and the sense of mystery that this novel creates is very good. However, the author tries to wrap everything up and explain the world-hopping at the end but I don't think its very well done. The ending is messy and feels rushed and not well thought through, which is even worse because the author did a good job building a sense of mystery. Overall I think its fine but I... more>> think you can find quite a few better transmigration stories out there that are much better. I think the translation that I read was not perfect, but it was fine and even with a perfect translation this would still not be a good novel. <<less
