The story was so nice I really want to read it again and again. It's filled with so many heart warming scenes, fluff and tad bit of angst.... more>>

Spoiler

Damm I shed tears in the arc in which Su Yuan and Gu Feidi went to mountains to cure Su Yuan of blood gu.

Anyway the story is good with no booring moments. The side characters are paced well and they have depth and improve over the flow of the story. Comming to MC and ML they have a good chemistry. It does not feel forced at all!! It's wonderfull to have an MC for once does not keep pushing away ML even after realizing their feelings. Here they dominate the plot equally. I would tell you to not miss such a good novel !!! Read, you will get hooked to the plot. <<less

I really, really loved this novel.

While I did gave it 4/5 more because (it kinda need a little bit more to wow me) it was really good.

I loved the MC, a lot of people would call MC "dense" for not realizing ML's crush on him but if so then those people tend to forget something and that is also what ML said to him directly, it is the fact that as if MC has no attachments to the world he lives in and that even though of death dosen't make... more>> him flinch.

I really liked how even when MC was struggling in his brain by how he needed to avoid others and how he wanted for that day when ML would kill him and so on, other characthers and ML noticed just how lonely he actually was, and I liked how it was told to his face.

It is pretty rare for reincarnated characther to have thoughts or feelings regarding their past life or how they actually feel insie the new world, almost all the time other MC's would just accept it as their new world and easy adjust to it but this MC actually has his mental struggle and he even says how at begging of the story, it was even difficult for him to see these characthers as living people.

I liked the conversations between ML and MC and how they both communicate and are not forceful with each other and how ML is not afraid to tell MC just how scared he is that MC would leave him or just voice out his opinion in general. <<less

Great fun to read (I read PurpleLy translation, the only one complete so far). Su Yang, an actor in his past life, transmigrated into the wuxia movie that he acted in and decides to follow the movie script to the end, in order to return to his normal life. Follow his hilarious adventures as he tries to keep the plot on tract and desperately trying to correct the butterfly effect he sets off unintentionally. His top priority in the first half of the novel is only to get himself killed... more>> so he can get back to normal life.

Some readers might get annoyed by MC's continued denial of the fictional world he is in and his persistent refusal to go OOC. But, I think his behavior is coherent and logical. Once he accepts his fate and his love, there is a lot of fluff mixed in with the Jianhu action and adventures. I love their little romantic interactions like holding hands, dancing, singing and writing poetry together. There is fluff, there is humour and a little bit of angst (not between the protags) and also plenty of other little things that make this one enjoyable. I highly recommend. <<less

s*upid, unreasonable & obstinate are the best way to describe MC. 50+ chapters, and he still yapping about the plot- yet he still ain't making any effort to understand the whole pictures from the moment the plot went astray. He "felt" bad about the death or whatever might happen to some characters, but stuck the believe the plot must happen when it was proven so many times the plot ain't gonna happen.

The ML is also 2D meh character, nothing special.

Read from Purpley Translations, I was really surprised because I wasn't expecting much.
Why are there three groups translating the same thing?

The translation is great and the story wasn't all black and white characters. Side characters were also quite developed and felt real. The transmigration aspect was handled exceptionally well, amazing ending too.

Tbh I think the most shocking part for me when I read this was when the waterfall broke because they climbed it after two of the disciples play-fought there a bit. I feel like normally, the physical landscape is treated as indestructible unless it is to showcase how powerful some fighting moves are. Expected they would also fight there and one of them would come out on top as usual--

I really liked the ending too and the mention of how the author got her system was intriguing. Would love to read spin-offs about her other adventures.

Like the MC is pretty funny not that dumb or s*upid or annoying, to me mostly. I don't what other people think but yeah he ok. Not to OP just normal and the ML is so sweet, there is nothing to hate about him.

Character progression ain't that bad, they at a nice pace and story progression is pretty smooth and not to fast or slow just about right.

The beginning of the story was better as you keep going it gets a lil dull in the middle, but the ending is... more>> super satisfying. <<less

4.5 stars

Would've been 5 stars if it wasn't for the ending.

MC transmigrates into the novel/script he just finished acting out and attempts to keep the story's trajectory which obviously leads to the story going off course

I normally avoid these wuxia type novels as I find the cultivation parts to either be extremely long or boring most times both but I decided to give this a try because the synopsis actually sounded interesting. I'm glad I decided to read it cause it was sooo much fun. Su yang's attempts to be... more>> villainous only to be thought of as pitiful lent to some of the more comedic moments in the story.

The romance between the leads was so pure my cheeks were ascending to heaven at certain points in the story. I loved that it was genuinely mutual and not subtly coerced aka kinda r@pey

The side couples were also very well done.

Spoiler

Although one guy who can sort of be considered a 2nd ML (maybe?) had to give up on out MC because of differing alliances but fear not that difference did not allow our ML to falter. Their fathers also had star-crossed lovers type romance similar to theirs that spanneddecades and it was heartbreaking

[collapse]

Now as everything was great but the ending.....

Spoiler

It's a HEA so no worries however while I get that su yang may have wanted feidi to experience the modern world with him I saw absolutelyno reason for them to go. No one in the fantasy world was against their relationship heck EVERYONE (well not everyone everyone) and their shifu was accepting of their union I meant there were multiple mlm couples, the ailments in their bodies had a solution so why go to the 21st century where you won'tbe as easily accepte????? I just couldn't this. Also the extras just showed them meeting and reintroducing themselves there were no couple moments so we don't know how their relationship progressed in the modern world. It was such an unsatisfactory ending to an otherwisegreat story. Also abetted the fact that there was no follow-upto their father's relationship. We can assume that they're happy now that everything between them has been revealed but u kind of wanted a glimpseinto their domestic life now that they've given up everything and chosen to live in seclusion

[collapse]

Other than ^^^ I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would happily read any similar to it <<less

Well while some of the negative comments are not entirely wrong, that doesn't mean they are entirely true.

Like it's true that there are some plots in the story that are decided too quickly, but if we read more carefully it's basically explained roughly why that things happened.

The point is this story is not too bad, it's just sometimes the way the author's explaining something is just too rough, so it's very easy to miss if we don't read it carefully.

Basically if the author has a good editor, or an assistant... more>> then this story can be very good. Unfortunately it seems the author doesn't have it, that's why the story looks very messy and rushed especially at the ending.

Spoiler

Sorry, actually it doesn't look like it was rushed, it just feels like it's too flat for something like a story ending.

The pacing was great, loved comedy and the sad moments, very interesting novel. Put me through so many emotions. Loved the ending!

I started reading keeping in mind that the MC is dumb. But didn't knew that ML is dumb too.

Well, if you don't mind the dumb characters it's an okay read.

I cant bring myself to read completely. The MC is so annoying like "FOLLOW THE PLOT BLA BLA BLA" when what he does is destroy every plot. That I dont understand, from where he think "oh, I can go home if I follow the plot ans die in the hand of protagonist" maybe that got skipped by my eyes.

For ml.... Im okay, I dont really like xu whatever guy. And tbh I think it will be comedic and fun like the synopsis, but meh... Ya ya you know same... more>> old song <<less

Really enjoyed reading this. An upright/righteous ML who actually does act that way.

The MC starts off kind of an idiot for comedic effect, but that quickly changes and there's excellent character development as he starts adjusting to the times.

Unlike some other novel-transmigration MCs, this one works extremely hard to master the skills the OG body has and to improve on them as well.

... more>> Both MC and ML are some of the strongest in their generation; both have their cool moments.

The misunderstandings other characters have about the MC are super funny and lasts for awhile.

Although the summary is very lighthearted, there is good angst and plot to balance that. I didn't think the angst was overdone, rather just a perfect touch to add depth to the story.

Love the cast of side-characters. Would have liked to see more resolution of the martial art plot done better though.

Overall great read if you like wuxia/BL and strong MC and MLs. <<less

Wow, the turn an twist of the story! So worthy of those days of wuxia HK dramas ! (Minus the transmigration) love the MC and ML interaction. MC is funny at 1st as he tried so so hard to fix the plot lines, but, everything got not according to the script and lots of stuff happens. In the middle of the story kidda serious and you get wanting to know more what happened before and all the secrets unravels.

There’s alot of drama especially the dog blood happened for... more>> the older generation, thus creates the blood fuels, misunderstandings and heartaches for the side cp. And you love those side cps too! Am just glad everyone got their own HE at the end. Thank you <<less

I really like the world building. it is not bypassed like most Wuxia transmigration BL novel neither it is just to make up the words. It's unique enough to differ it with other, detailed enough for the Wuxia feel, and important enough for the plot. For example:

Although this is not modern time it is also not too traditional either. This world has its own culture.

The author is not afraid to use ideas that I rarely seen and they did it well.

I also like how the MC is powerful because he trained hard for it, not just because the body he occupied has strong internal energy. as per chapter 43, he is not handicapped by some plot devices either which usually make transmigrated shou has to depend on the gong.

Now, after all the praise I still vote this a 3 because for one sole reason. The ML.

I can't see him. He seems so plain. There's no distinctive feature/charactristic.

Although calling him 2D is not right either. But he seems so uninteresting.

I rather have some yandere who feel for the MC for insignificant reason, at least they have the character of "yandere" (excluding a**hole yandere). Although ML should be this later in story, initially he really plain.

Actually it's very normal to be plain in the start, perhaps the author just hasn't revealed about him enough or developed him. But he is so inconsistent, which make him hard to read, in a bad way.

Actually I'm not that much irritated. It's just.... the story is good and I'm so excited to the author's world and plot building, I'm interested enough to read 43 chapter a day... but I have this inexplicable feeling that ML's inconsistent attitude made the plot feel awkward/forced. It's definetly not the MC fault! Honestly, he is the only one who hold the plot. He's very admirable considering he actually doesn't know much either.

I'm going to rest for a bit before continue reading. But I'll still give it 3 stars to the end. 3 stars is for overall good story. 4 stars only for all-rounded good story, and 5 stars for all-rounded fav story. Excuse me for using my own scale.

Do I recommend this? idk, I read this novel for the plot and world-building, which must be very different with other readers here.

the beginning is okay, like it very much and the MC is cute.

However the "comedy" disappointing. There is little to no comedy. So I don't understand why this novel has the comedy in the genre.

Anyways, I lost interest in the novel after MC and ML got together. So imma stop here.

I must say, the description really doesn't do justice to this novel. It makes it look like one of dozens of similar creations with annoying dumb protagonists who cling to each other for no reason and think only about "ta-ta-ta", which it isn't.

I am glad I started reading it despite me not finding the description even slightly appealing, as it is simply a hidden gem. The story is interesting and is not being shoved into your face all the time, the MC is a real sweetheart that for me is... more>> infinitely more likeable than Shen Qingqiu, for example (just don't kick me for that, I can't help it). I didn't expect anything from the novel, so after reading all of the translated chapters am now overwhelmed with the amount of thought put into (I'm not saying it's perfect. But it's good enough for me to be able to enjoy it and not pay attention to its minor drawbacks). I came for comedy only, but now I find myself also looking forward to the development of the plot and discovering the fate of the side characters.

I also feel obliged to note that the translation is pretty decent, it's adapted well enough for it to be coherent and not read like a bunch of unconnected sentences, which translations of such novels sometimes resemble.

Hope the slow burn will go on, and the plot will not be spoiled in later chapters. <<less

This is such a seriously underrated story I cannot stress enough how good and absolutely hilarious it is. If you're tired of yandere characters, if you love rivals (?) /idiots to lovers, if you want comedic misunderstandings, and if you want something wholesome and beautiful instead, then read this. I've reread the English translation at least three times now and I'm slowly making my way through the raws...

Both main characters are incredibly likeable. Su Yang is kind of a whole dumbass, but sincerely so endearing, and it must come across... more>> too to Gu Feidi, who is straightforward and has a very strong moral compass. But heed the warning that the author gave, this starts out as a funny fluffy story but it gets Plot and Serious in the second half...

Spoiler

Possibly my favourite and most heart-breaking gut-wrenching storyline is Xu Yunzhan's unrequited love for Su Yang. Su Yang never gets to know that Xu Yunzhan is in love with him, which hurts so badly because Xu Yunzhan himself too knows that it won't work out because of his own cowardice. That self-deprecation, every time Xu Yunzhan talks about how he doesn't deserve Su Yang and that he loves him so much he's afraid to even look at him... P A I N

[collapse]

I'm not finished yet and I think the ending might be a little convoluted, but I'm so pleased with the journey I've been on to get here that I'm pretty sure nothing will spoil that five star rating for me HAHA <<less

When I first read this, I wasn't expecting to be hooked as I stumbled on it by accident. The premise is good and I love how the MC isn't too knowledgeable about the world he transmigrated in and has to make adjustments

... more>>

Spoiler

since he never read the original novel and only the script he was given which had so many scenes cut and making him regret it so badly

[collapse]

I also like how misunderstandings aren't too drawn out and are instead resolved within a few chapters. And how the MC isn't too OP and fumbles to learn and grasp how to use his martial arts which adds a layer of depth to his character. His mistakes and his inability to suddenly gain enlightenment because of the past memories is interesting. It makes me look forward as to how the story will progress from here on.

I'm looking forward to the future translations. <<less

I love love love love the characters here! Very recommended, I think the ML's personality is very realistic, and not like the usual very yandere or black bellied, (though he does eats vinegar but it's cute) . I binge the whole 122 chapters in one day (don't ask me how 😭 ik it's unhealthy and I should sleep but I did not regret it a bit.)

Though I do say for me I would give about 4.5 in my heart, although I wrote 5 star, not because of... more>> anything, but I just feel like the ending could at least add more story, I guess for me I wanna see more of them! 😭 Conclusion it's a great novel! You should give it a try! <<less

This novel was very good. The characters are well-thought out and the world-building is definitely better than average. I will say I thought the transmigration explanation at the end was a little weak, which is why I subtracted one star. But still very good overall.
