When a Social Phobic Transmigrates as an E-Scum Gong

Description

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

Lin Xu, an 18-year-old high school student, made a sudden and dramatic transformation from an internet-addicted slacker to a cool and exemplary student, becoming an overnight sensation in the school.

But he himself was unaware of all this because before his transmigration, he was an ultimate social phobic. After transmigration, he inexplicably gained the notorious persona of a cool, badass gong online.

Obviously, the original Lin Xu was an immature high school student who, in order to make money, agreed to become the online boyfriend of a certain rich second-generation, embarking on a three-month online romance. And in the eyes of his so-called partner, he was a mature man with a magnetic voice + eight-pack abs + a successful career.

While his partner was discussing business in a five-star hotel, Lin Xu hesitated at the school gate, debating whether to buy some spicy hotpot, because the vendor would warmly remember the names of regular students.

While his partner was cruising in a luxury car, Lin Xu, as the flag bearer for the school sports meet, was standing at attention, his face stiff.

While…

Not only that, but his partner would also act cute with him every night, saying, “Gege, show your abs?”

Lin Xu had no choice but to take pictures with a flushed face, not daring to capture even a corner of his school uniform.

Finally, when the three-month period ended and the role-playing game was over, Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief. When the other party suggested meeting in person, he felt justified in deleting, blocking, and quitting the internet in one go, thinking he had finally paid off the original Lin Xu’s debt.

Later, when Lin Xu was forced to attend a classmate’s birthday party at a bar, his whole body tensed up. In the dim light, he saw a young man with a devilishly handsome face staring at him intently, a tear-shaped mole at the corner of his eye.

Lin Xu slowly lowered his head, filled with fear. He distinctly remembered that they weren’t from the same city, right?

I have never written any reviews but this book's ML or shou is getting on my little nerves. I really like MC tho.

Childish, whiny, brat, arrogant these are the word's comes in my mind about MC. I mean my guy you are 24, where is your emotional maturity which comes with this age.

2 of them have different personalities and hobbies, I get it. But how about respect your partner's hobby's too.

ML really almost fell asleep during a museum date with MC. But ML wanted all attention during his Car choice... more>> hobby. Power imbalance.

I should have known this would happen from the very first when ML was dismissive about MC's social anxiety and phobia.

And I really dislike ML's Brother. <<less

I finished it and it's not bad. Quite cute actually. Scientist transmigrates into an 18 year old with an online dating partner and after realising the partner's a cannon fodder from a novel he decides to stick to his fake persona out of pity. It's funny and cute, simple and sweet. Good enough for a casual read.

After reading the available chapters, and got stuck in a heavy cliffhanger. ... more>>
Spoiler

Where the MC figured out ML's identity, felt guilty and broke up with him in chat, while ML is just on the verge of figuring out who MC is.

I just couldn't get enough and read the mtl. I don't regret a single thing, and feel really happy with how it ended.

It's not the best novel, not quite a masterpiece, with some inconsistencies here and there... Though it might just be the MTL misinterpreting things and causing misunderstandings. But it's a wholesome, decent read with a beautiful end. It wasn't explained why he transmigrated, though we were given bits and pieces of information about MCs previous life. Nor did the author elaborate about the novel he transmigrated to and it's significance. Well, sort of... though it felt like the MC and ML were barely, just barely involved with the 'novel' mentioned. So not a lot of tragedy, just silly, healing wholesomeness.

I quite like their relationship dynamic, such as MLs boldness and MCs reservedness (until he had fallen into yellow). Or the fact that ML is pretending to be younger then MC, but is actually older, and the MC pretending to be older, but is actually younger. Truly, they catfished themselves, though it wasn't MCs fault. Just the original host. It was hilarious though!

Overall, this is a wholesome, sweet, fluffy novel with a simple yet somewhat unique plot. Great for a casual read if you've got a spare hour or two a day, and maybe even a decent reread. I would rate this four or a four and a half, but considering how few the reviews are, I notched it up to five. Still a satisfactory read! <<less

Really 👍 👍 👍

Romance is sweet, love the dynamic a nice aspect to the power balance between the couples, character have their own thoughts and express them clearly basically COMMUNICATION ON POINT!!!

What's not to live about this novel...

Spoiler

One thing I don't like about this is world knowledge of the s*x position each couple does. Their decisions compatibility should not be announced in such a manner, and there's nothing shameful being a 0. Everyone's still male and gay. And why doesn't a "0.5" exist??? Aren't verses also a thing that exists???

[collapse]

Other than that totally recommended. Too bad it's too short <<less

I must admit, what got me to start reading this was the description, and it did NOT disappoint. &Lt;3

It was such a fun and wonderful read, I finished this in less than 4 days! Literally couldn't put it down. Firstly, seme protag is such a plus for me, it was so great. The chemistry between MC and ML was just so endearing and lovely, and it was also just sooo funny, especially the misunderstanding or false identities in the beginning. It was so exciting, I couldn't wait to read to... more>> see what happens next until BAM - the end. T_T

It really was such a delightful and light-hearted story, not a lot of conflict or drama and was just a full dose of intriguing sweetness all throughout.

P.S.

The translator did such an amazing job with the translations too! Which made reading this an even better experience.

Can't give it enough stars. 8 out of 5. XD <<less

It's rare for me to read about younger semes but this was quiet nice. I love that there wasn't a major conflict or anything and the overall vibe remained light hearted. I loved GJZ's firecracker personality because a lot of novels tend to emphasize the maturity of the older lover so this was kinda refreshing. Even the extras were just them goofing around.😁

A very sweet light novel. Recommended to casual readers who love cute endearing misunderstandings. The dynamic between MC and ML is very adorable with both being little cutties. Although, the plot never went in depth with MC transmigration, the novel is still pretty enjoyable and humorous.

This kind of novel is a good recommendation for your friends who liked lighthearted stories, fluffs, romance, and comedy. It's a light read you won't regret. From chapter 1 until the big revelation, it never fails me to keep engrossed to the story~ I love how the author portrays Lin Xu as a principled man (and a sweet guy!!!) He's my baby, you know :")) For Gu Jinzhi, despite being a spoiled young sec-gen rich kid, is a pure at heart. I love their dynamics, I love their older brothers... more>> who are both protective to their younger sibling... All in all, it's a great read! <<less

I started reading this when I was in the mood for something short and light-hearted and went into it without any expectations. I really didn't expect to find the MC and ML so cute together! I do love a younger top MC who takes care of the ML. Since the MC was actually older pre-transmigration, there's not really a case of him acting less mature than the ML so now he finds the ML cute. It was fun to see their dynamic through multiple layers of catfishing during their online... more>> relationship.

It's not a perfect story, it doesn't have a deep/complex plot and I don't think the transmigration is really touched on very often, but it's definitely a very fun, self-indulgent read! I enjoyed it more than I thought and would absolutely read it again when the mood for something sweet and funny strikes me. <<less

I'm so close to the end, but I just can't do this anymore. The author of this story desperately wants to date a high schooler and cannot for the love of god keep it in their pants. A direct quote: "Honestly, who wouldn't dream of dating a rich high schooler in secret?"

Do I even need to say more?

The age gap itself isn't horrible imo (19 and 24, but also sometimes 18 and 25, and maybe even something else other times. The author doesn't know, so how could I?) and the... more>> MC's transmigration means I would normally disregard it without a thought, but the way the author portrays it is a problem. It starts off normally enough, if you ignore a few things. (Like the absurd number of times the author uses the word "youthful" like it's this catch-all, insanely desirable characteristic. Or the all the times side characters say things to the effect of "the younger the better"). But then, they actually get together. Now, all we talk about are their ages!! It makes sense for the story, but it is genuinely nauseating to see the author's personal desires seeping through.

My final straw was when the ML's brother started thinking about how he'd keep the MC's rightfully protective older brother from finding out that the ML is planning to sleep with him. If this was handled in any other way, I might've been able to push through until the end. But it wasn't and I can't. In any context, seeing the words "almost 19" and "he's already an adult" is a tough read. This author shouldn't be allowed near high schools. <<less

It's good. But it gets a bit tiresome as the chapter progress. I like it to be honest and I definitely recommend this to people who like casual stories full of misunderstanding. But my only complain is this feels very dragged. Still, I recommend this one.

The story's premise is enjoyable but it is beginning to drag so much omg. It's not even long but I hope it pocks up again because I don't think I'll be able to finish if it keeps at this pace.

The dynamic between the two leads is a bit hard to imagine as well. Like I literally can't picture it lol like the ML is 24 extremely beautiful but hates being seen that way so he's always ready to fight and was a hooligan in high school. He also gives off... more>> a domineering, flashy, elite ceo vibe to strangers but also is lively energetic and cute-ish around the MC oh and he also has a athletic physique but is shorter than the MC, short enough for the MC to look down at him. Then the MC isn't that hard to imagine him being social phobic is getting boring and annoying. Idk maybe I'm just not in the mood for their dynamic but I was having fun in the beginning. I'll try to update if I finish or end up dropping.

also I agree with @to4dstone's review, the author talks about the age difference too much like we get it. I thought it would just be funny when it was revealed that the mature BF the ML thought he had was even younger than he is but that was hardly touched on.

edit: Okay so I think I'm gonna drop for now and maybe pick it up again another time. Like the story is not that bad but it's annoying me so much for some reason like it's funny how annoyed I am when I simultaneously like the story. Such a weird and conflicting feeling ugh. Maybe it's because I'm sick right now or something I have no idea <<less

Green flags, green flags everywhere. This is so sweet and fluffy; I love this couple. Their personalities are polar opposites, yet they mesh so well together. Would love a few more extras of them in their advanced years
