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

Got a bit bored with the movies and all those netizen comments, but not too much. The plot is interesting, and the characters have real development, which keeps them from feeling flat. There's a cute side couple, though they don't get much screen time. I wish the main character had shown more of his special qualities and how his past life influenced him, but overall, this is a light novel, not a deeply developed novel. I was quite surprised by how well certain aspects were portrayed, like how PTSD affected the main character, his occasional insecurity, and glimpses of the ruthlessness he had to adopt in his previous life. A more serious plot with the main character as an action hero might have been interesting, but it could have ruined the fluff, and this light novel clearly wasn't aiming for that. All in all, it’s a different kind of entertainment story, with unique characters that still follow some familiar tropes, and an occasional deeper emotional drama. Good read for me.

Honestly, this is one of the best novels I've read in a long time. The translation is excellent, the humor is sharp, and the author clearly put significant effort into researching the expertise of the characters instead of fabricating it on the fly. The storyline, character development, and interactions are logical and well-structured. While it’s not a fast-paced read, it doesn’t drag unnecessarily. The drama is well-balanced, avoiding both over-the-top exaggeration and dullness. It actually made me laugh and smile, which is rare. Best of all, it sparked my curiosity and encouraged me to delve deeper into understanding the characters, rather than presenting a simplistic and overly predictable plot. Mental stimulation is truly a wonderful thing.

Definitely worth reading. Previous comments have already summarized the quality of this novel, but I'll add that the romance is well-developed, and the chemistry between the characters works perfectly. The emotions are vividly described, and it's refreshing to see the main character handle his attraction to the love interest in a down-to-earth manner.

It's nice. It started off well, but I got bored along the way. I think the novel would have been perfect if it had wrapped up around 80 chapters.

I won't go too deeply into the author ignoring the PTSD issue the main character (MC) had, which only seems to be resolved when the male lead (ML) is around. How long is that going to be enough?

Also, having both of them appear together in every show or movie scene feels redundant and a bit boring.

Personally, the narration of their filming scenes didn't appeal to me. I wasn't really interested in those parts, and it made the book feel longer.

I rooted for the MC; he's the most interesting character. However, as the story progressed, his character seemed to water down. It's understandable, though, since he fell in love and resolved his emotional issues. That's good.

However, the ML... I didn't really connect with him from the start. More of his backstory was revealed in the middle, but even then, it felt like the author was trying to portray him with different personalities, which isn't consistent. I don't know how to describe it, but it's there. So, I don't feel a strong connection with him as a character.

The translation is good, and I'd like to finish the book. But there's a lesser chance that I'll continue it later because I was impatient getting to this point. 😅

, it's a good book. It has a slow burn but good romance, and the main couple is the focus of the story.

I love the main character (MC); he's so cool and cute. The male lead (ML) is also adorable. The MC takes the initiative during their intimate moments, which makes him seem pretty badass. They really suit each other. I also like the side characters.

Actually, I'm glad there isn't much drama about the MC's so-called family. His past life was really sad, and he deserves a peaceful life. I'm glad he found love and is living the life he wants.

Sure, here's the rewritten content:

<li>Comments: Honestly, I really enjoyed the story. However, I understand that the main character (MC) transmigrates into the world, but does he really need to star in every movie the love interest (ML) is in? It feels very unrealistic. I get that they might be in the same studio, but it seems forced. The MC deserves to have his own development and doesn't need to follow the ML in everything. This is why the score, which I initially planned to give as an 8, dropped to a 6.</li>

I read this in one day, 4.2. It’s a lovely, chill novel about a guy rediscovering life.

The most interesting part of this novel is the main character, Jiang Dao. Coming from an apocalyptic world, he has a completely different worldview, and I’m glad that it stayed consistent until the end of the novel. Not sure if it’s an Easter egg, but when he was asked by an agent to "stay skinny," he got so confused because why do people in this novel world love to look skinny? It reminded me so much of Ellie in *The Last of Us*. They basically have the same thought process when she asks about the skinny models on the posters. I don’t know if it’s intentional, but I enjoyed it.

Continuing with the main character, I find that he’s almost the complete opposite of every cliché in a transmigration story. He can drink a lot, there’s no "This body has a low alcohol tolerance, I used to be a heavy drinker" followed by the MC getting drunk and being escorted by the male lead. The MC is a stronger person than the male lead. It’s not a ruthless person meeting another equally ruthless, if not more, male lead. In this way, it allows Jiang Dao’s personality to shine and the male lead to have a different personality. Also, most of their "driving" scenes are usually initiated by the MC, which is refreshing but it does have a sad reason behind it.

I could write for so long, but overall, it’s a great novel. It’s a more mature romantic relationship, starting with sexual attraction from the MC’s part. The first half to three-quarters of the novel were fantastic, but as it gears towards the end, I was kind of zoning out. The extras were a nice addition. Also, this part bugged me the most: it wouldn’t kill the author to have Jiang Dao and Zhou Wei be a little bit older, like at least 20 at the start of the novel. I’ve been reading danmei for so long, and authors need to move on from the teen-and-thirty pairing.

Other than that, not bad! I recommend this novel. The author hints that Jiang Dao’s other friends will transmigrate into different worlds. One of his friends transmigrated into an ABO world. I’ll have to check it out.

The star of this novel is undoubtedly the main character, Jiang Dao. He's just so... straightforward, direct, calm, and strong! Despite his new physical body being weak, he trains diligently to regain his original strength. Not to mention, his original skills are still intact, though sometimes he realizes that his new body is too weak to fully execute certain actions!

Some more things I liked:
- The focus on action TV/film creation, with both the main character (MC) and the main love interest (ML) starring in movies and shows that involve physical action.
- The original protagonist Shou and the original protagonist Gong are great people, and they become friends!

When reading, I found it to be a refreshing and, yes, comedic take on the usual transmigration-into-the-entertainment-industry story.

I should have read the tags more carefully. I’m not sure how I missed the slice of life tag. The story is nice; it’s essentially a romance fic. However, it was a bit dull because there wasn’t much in the way of antagonists or connections to the original story, even though the author kept it relevant until the very end. The different movies and reality shows the main character was involved in were enjoyable. The highlight was definitely the extra chapter from the dog's point of view.

I recently finished the book, so the latter parts of my review contain some spoilers due to my post-reading excitement.

The main character (MC) comes from an apocalyptic world, and the plot of his emotional development is nicely crafted without any plot holes for me. The MC is a dominant bottom, while the male lead (ML) is a submissive top with a touch of dominant energy. The MC is incredibly straightforward and the horniest character, and there are no sexual euphemisms; instead, there are some detailed scenes that led me to this conclusion. Their relationship develops at a nice pace, avoiding any drag. The beginning of the novel leans more towards comedy, and I appreciate that both the original MC and ML are good people and end up together, even though they aren’t mentioned much later on. Now for a bigger spoiler: I loved that they adopted a military dog as their child, and the final chapter is written from the dog’s perspective, providing a heartwarming "happily ever after."

Don't be misled by the complexity of my review; the novel itself is actually quite easy and relaxing to read. I know my reviews can sometimes seem tangled and heavy, but rest assured, everything in this story is handled straightforwardly, and any problems are faced head-on.

Oh my god. I came across this book four times. Each time, I glanced at the title and walked away without a second thought. I'm glad I did. Lately, I've been reading so many books that nothing seems interesting anymore. But when I saw it for the fifth time, I thought, "Why not?" and started reading it yesterday. I haven't been able to put it down since, and I finally caught up with the latest translations.

About the book: the main character (MC) is essentially a little wolf who looks like a fairy. His antics are incredibly endearing, yet he exudes confidence, is unapologetic, fierce, and smart. He's truly one of the best MCs out there. The male lead (ML) is also fantastic.

What I love most is the lack of red flags. In many novels, it's usually the gong/top, the ML, who is very into sex and enthusiastic about it. Here, the ML is interested in sex, but he's more of a romantic. The MC, on the other hand, is very enthusiastic about sex and isn't shy about being the ML's bottom. He's like, "Yeah, sure, if it's with my gong, I don't mind bottoming."

The plot is excellent—neither too complex nor too simple. It's engaging and keeps you hooked, even though it's straightforward.

5/5

Also, the translation is top-notch! 5/5

I really enjoyed it—the main character (MC) and the male lead (ML) are both straightforward, with minimal drama. I particularly liked the MC. The storyline and plot were fantastic, making it a smooth and enjoyable read. The translation by KnoxT, as always, was excellent. A big thank you to the author and the translator for sharing this gem with us! 💎🙏
