This particular story captivates with its extraordinary imagination, leaving readers in awe after finishing. It's a concise read, taking me less than an hour to complete thanks to its brief chapter lengths. The narrative is told from the perspective of the protagonist, the target of the mysterious 'slag gong,' which adds a unique layer to the tale.
Although certain parts lean more towards the protagonist's viewpoint, I cannot fault the plot, given the compelling reason behind the 'slag gong's' pursuit. A spoiler warning is necessary:
The protagonist truly stands out. Throughout the main storyline, there are no actual names, making it easier to follow without getting bogged down. However, during the epilogue, this anonymity forces the reader to engage in a revealing puzzle, helping to deepen our understanding of the MC's character. The first-person perspective effectively conveys the MC's detachment and emotional distance from the events unfolding around them.
It's quite unrealistic, and there are numerous plot inconsistencies. However, I find the main character's growth and development somewhat satisfying. It's refreshing to see a protagonist who isn't a spineless doormat like many clichéd male leads in danmei novels, who would forgive and tolerate abuse in the name of love. That's probably why I still enjoyed it to some extent. Compared to other thrillers and horror stories I've read, this one might only deserve two stars. But overall, I had a good time, so I'll give it four stars.
The main character might be perverted, but at least he only eliminates those who wronged him. If he were a mindless serial killer, it would have been a different story – I'd have given it a single star. As for Editor B, I couldn't empathize with them since they too exhibit terrible behavior.
It's quite impressive! Not what I anticipated, but it piques my interest with a touch of unpredictability. There's an underlying logic, yet it feels somewhat contradictory. Overall, it's engaging, but the imagery is quite unsettling due to its dark subject matter, which left me feeling quite uneasy.
"Enthusiasm! This is one of the top-notch reads. Although the details of Scum Gong's marriage to MC remain unclear, it's amusing how unlucky he is to end up with a psychopathic spouse. The chapters are concise; despite binge-reading it in a day, I can't help wanting to know more about MC's life afterward, even if it won't be as thrilling as Scum Gong's tale, but it's definitely a stress-relieving story in my opinion. To sum up, MC discovers his unfaithful and murderous husband, so he plans to take matters into his own hands by executing a slow and calculated revenge, with the support of various characters, echoing MC's words to Editor B: 'One robin has fallen, and the other's days are numbered.'"
"Oh my goodness, the ultimate satisfying revenge! There's no clueless, Mary Sue, or innocent main character here, no way, no how. This MC is the kind who strikes back when provoked - a total badass. Just a heads up, there's some gory content, so enjoy with a chuckle. I adore this vengeful tale; it's absolutely fantastic!"
That was quite an intriguing experience. I wish I could better understand the identities of the characters in the epilogue. However, I could have skipped over the graphic description of the violence.
Narratively, it's intriguing and certainly stands out from the norm. However, if approached without deep analysis, there are numerous plot inconsistencies that become apparent, hehe. Considering its distinctiveness, I'll give it an extra star, bringing the overall rating to 4 stars. The story is dark and twisted, yet undeniably captivating.
In the moment when Cane transformed into a gun, I initially perceived Shen as despicable. However, it turned out to be a test of Ji Qu's love. Ji Qu's choice to stay and the seemingly foolish expression on his face, filled with concern for Shen's well-being, convinced Shen of Ji Qu's affection. As a result, Shen gave Ji Qu a chance.
Regarding the claim that the main character truly loved his husband, I strongly disagree. Upon discovering the truth, there was no deep sorrow or even genuine disappointment. Instead, his thoughts quickly shifted towards seeking revenge. Nevertheless, he had shown sincerity in their relationship and held their marriage in high regard. Unfortunately, his choice of partner led him to encounter a morally reprehensible individual.
There were plot inconsistencies, as the character's revenge was not flawless; it only succeeded due to external factors, such as divine intervention.
