After Entering a Book, He Just Wants to be a Flower Vase

Definitely worth to read. Highly recommend. Both protagonist is so adorable. Definitely love it.

Repetitive and annoying there's nothing else besides schemes and face slapping this author wanna be doesn't know what else to write it never ends if it wasn't for so many zombies praising it I wouldn't have wasted so much of my time and emotions on this thing

The main character's development was excellent; I appreciated the blend of light-hearted and serious moments throughout the story. While the protagonist's personality can be selfish, he isn't unnecessarily rude, which made him quite likable. The love interest was a supportive and loving partner, and their relationship didn't suffer from unnecessary angst, which was refreshing.

However, I was less satisfied with how the main character's PTSD was handled. The issue seemed too significant to be completely and solely resolved simply by sleeping next to his lover, especially given that this trauma stems from his friends and family dying in horrific ways. It just felt a bit oversimplified and didn't do the issue justice.

, the story is enjoyable, and I definitely recommend giving it a try if you enjoy entertainment industry narratives with strong protagonists.

What can I say, I just loved the idea of an apocalyptic man adjusting to a peaceful world and navigating the tension between what he knows and what is expected in this new reality.

I fell in love with both the main character and the love interest, and I cried during the extra chapter with that ending. Spoiler alert: I was touched reading about how he finally realized his dream of having a house in the mountains with animals, alongside his love interest.

Highly recommended, and I might reread it in a few years because I’m sure this story will stay with me.

DON'T READ THIS, IT'S FOR MY OWN FUTURE REREAD REFERENCE!!!

Spoiler
The main character (MC) was from a post-apocalyptic world and transmigrated into a novel. He became an actor and got to know the male lead (ML). I especially loved the relationship between our main couple! It's also really nice how the MC befriends the original main character of the novel. Unfortunately, the MC never revealed his secret of transmigrating into a novel to the ML. We also never get to see how the MC lived in the apocalypse. Short but cute story, I'll probably reread it again.

One thing I really like about this story is that none of the original "characters" from the "book" become the villain. The book the MC gets transmigrated into is a BL romance novel, and the MC keeps low-key cheering the book couple on. At one point, the MC gets a bit worried because the "former owner" of his body’s bullying of the shou of the original couple is part of the development of that relationship, but he just can’t bring himself to be mean for no reason. While the story does have "villains," it’s definitely not a face-slapping novel. They aren’t really important to the plot and don’t appear very often. The real conflict lies in the emotional growth arcs of the MC and ML and their efforts to create good entertainment works. It’s a pretty positive read despite addressing (unrealistically) fatalism and PTSD.

My only real complaint is that despite the MC being obsessed with food and being a good cook, we get very little food porn. Less inaccurate multi-chapter descriptions of snowboarding and more food descriptions next time, Mr. Author.

No geese were harmed in the making of this book, and Eleven and Bullet are the best boys and deserve all the stewed chicken. Lol

Thanks for the hard work on the translation!

I'd give it a 9/10 for its portrayal of a strong, smart Shou who is understanding and doting as Gong.

I really enjoyed the setting in the entertainment industry; the acting roles were truly captivating.

Their relationship is sweet with a well-paced progression. Both being virgins added a charming touch, and I appreciated that the bottom character was eager, which was refreshing. I'm tired of those flip-flop Shou types who are shy for no reason—like, you've already had sex 47 times, why be shy now?! It just doesn't make sense 😂

, it’s a realistic story with great attention to detail, but the side characters were a bit boring and there was no smut 😭 However, it’s still fluffy, and I would definitely reread it and recommend it.

**Spoiler:**
I’m just a bit mad and sad that the main character never told the Gong about the transmigration. I can understand not saying anything for a couple of years, but come on, after ten years? Or even a time skip to when they’re old and gray 🥲 👀 But whatever, it seems in line with the MC’s personality, even if it feels a bit ingenuine.

I enjoyed this book! The main characters and their relationship were particularly appealing to me. I found most of the story arcs engaging, with the exception of the one labeled as a military propaganda film. I'm not sure what I expected from that part, but those chapters felt very much like military propaganda. Despite that, the book is well-written and definitely worth picking up if the synopsis interests you!
