The Slag Gong wants to Kill me

Despite the high rating, I found the novel unenjoyable due to its unrealistic storyline. The characters' actions lacked credibility, as if none of them paused to consider their decisions. Despite its relatively short chapter count, the reading experience felt drawn-out and tedious. The main character's lack of empathy and his reactions to betrayal didn't resonate with me either. A spoiler follows:

After his husband's death, no proper investigation was conducted怀疑丈夫出轨的对象是别人。主角自己曾写过小说，甚至朋友还以此拍了一部电影，他完全有可能是凶手，但无人认真追查。此外，"情妇"似乎没有动机在犯罪现场留下，让人不解。那个嫌疑人为什么不砸窗逃离，而非要强迫自己吃腐败的尸体？人体即使长时间不进食也能生存，而食用腐肉中毒的风险远大于饿死。

总结来说，阅读这部小说对我来说充满了挫败感。

"OMG! I absolutely adore this! This is amazing. This was truly the best thing I've ever read. Initially, when I came across it and read the summary, I wasn't expecting much, but I decided to give it a shot, and boy, am I glad I did! It has become my new favorite, and I wish there were more of it."

The theme of this novel revolves around the idea that scoundrels like Wenxu Jiang truly deserve their demise. It's both thrilling and, in a disturbing way, incredibly satisfying. Readers who have experienced the emotions of frustration, sorrow, and rage while reading "The Decade of Deep Love" or "The 10 Years I Love You Most" can relate to those feelings when encountering Wenxu Jiang. They empathize with the protagonist, Ze Shu He, as he faces hardships, and feel for the kind-hearted second male lead whose fate is unjust.

The animosity towards Wenxu Jiang reaches a boiling point, leaving one只想让他狠狠地被教训。This novel, despite sharing a similar premise, offers a vastly different narrative. Here, the main character is a force to be reckoned with. As the story unfolds, it serves as a cathartic remedy for the读者，healing the pain from the tumultuous love story between Wenxu Jiang and Ze Shu He.

Excited by the numerous reviews detailing the main character's relentless revenge, I anticipated witnessing the MC dismantle the male lead and his mistress. It's satisfying to see the MC take no prisoners and give them a fitting punishment, rather than forgiving their despicable actions. Perhaps I have a darker side, but I wished for the husband to experience more suffering; his slap-on-the-wrist punishment seemed insufficient. High expectations from positive reviews raised my anticipation for an intense revenge plot.

However, the ending left me slightly bewildered. The husband met his demise when the MC fed him pills while he was with his mistress, without any realization that it was a premeditated murder. I would have preferred to see his descent into despair and mental breakdown, which, alas, didn't happen as much as I hoped. Although the mistress was coerced into consuming his remains, the husband didn't endure a torturous end.

The story took an unexpected turn when the MC ended up with Person B, the editor who had harbored a crush for a long time. They played a bet, with MC promising to be with B if he remembered and still loved him after three years. There was confusion surrounding the male lead's relationship with the film emperor, leaving me somewhat puzzled. The mistress continues to suffer in a mental institution, while the annoying fake adopted brother, who blindly protected the mistress despite her infidelity, caused the car accident that initially led to MC's death, suspecting he was responsible for the husband's demise.

In summary, this revenge tale is entertainingly brief, with the MC delivering justice to those who deserve it, particularly to the ex-husband. It's a thrilling story that provides gratification for fans of this genre.

"It's rather dim, but not completely dark. The conclusion took an unforeseen turn. Despite that, it's still worth your time. A gentle reminder: set aside your principles before delving into this."

The content was exceptional! With a bit more elaboration on the plot, character development, and the overall mystery, it could have easily reached the heights of a masterpiece, akin to the acclaimed Yaoi story "Killing Stalking."

This is the first story I've encountered with such storytelling, and I'm unsure if it's due to the writing style or the plot itself, but I find myself eager to move on to the next chapter after reading each one (luckily, I finished it before getting hooked). My overall impression is 4.1, but I'll boost the rating to 5 to support the story.

The title, "The Slag Gong," hints at the premise: the husband (H) wants to kill me, and I attempt to retaliate by meticulously planning his slow murder. The title also subtly reveals the motive: H's infidelity with his childhood friend (CS).

While the MC's meticulous planning for the crime, from creating an illusion to executing the details, is impressively crafted for a fictional narrative, it's impractical for real life, unfortunately. Here are some aspects that seem questionable or unrealistic:

1. If CS truly planned to kill H, they wouldn't schedule a medicine delivery at their own house on the same day as the murder, especially if they were going out with H. If it was intentional, they wouldn't leave the package unattended. If it was accidental, it's odd for the courier to leave a package unclaimed.

2. The presence of a knife in a bedroom raises eyebrows. Detectives would likely focus on it as a murder weapon, not the locked door. The logic behind eating the body seems implausible, regardless of the circumstances.

3. Saving highly relevant information in a hidden folder of a laptop is suspicious. It's unlikely someone would store everyday text conversations there, especially if they're concerned about privacy.

Despite these issues, there are redeeming qualities in the story:

1. The author's misdirection with a lockroom murder instead of a medical one adds depth, as it cleverly implicates the MC while revealing the husband's knowledge gap.

2. The revelation of an unseen accomplice in the epilogue is a delightful twist, as it expands the complexity of the plot and adds an element of surprise.

However, one aspect that continues to bother me is the identity of Ji Qu, which remains unclear until the epilogue:

1. As Editor B, it's logical for them to be involved, given their love for MC, but their connection to CS and their ability to influence others are unclear.

2. If Ji Qu is the Film Emperor, their past with CS and Elder Brother-in-Law's reaction don't quite fit with their supposed timeline and fame.

I'm still puzzled by this mystery, but overall, the story is captivating and worth recommending. The epilogue, however, feels like a déjà vu from "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint," which detracts from the experience.

Many readers appreciated this novel, particularly for its themes of revenge and intense action. The pacing is indeed fast-paced, which keeps the reader engaged. However, there are a few significant drawbacks. The characters tend to feel one-dimensional, with limited dialogue and generic names like Editor B or Officer D, lacking depth and backstory. The main character's cunning and lack of challenges make him appear overpowered, and the motive for the husband's desire to murder him due to an affair remains unexplained, which undermines the plot's credibility.

The author seems to rely on shock value rather than character development, as even the detective reacts violently without proper investigation. This superficiality gives the story a sketchy feel, more like a rough draft rather than a polished narrative. Despite these shortcomings, the gore in certain chapters stands out as a redeeming aspect.

In conclusion, while the novel might provide a thrilling, albeit predictable, hour-long read, it doesn't quite live up to the praise it receives. A rating of 2.5 would reflect the unevenness, with some decent writing but a lack of complexity. The excessive praise might stem from occasional flashes of well-executed elements, such as the graphic violence.

I'm unsure about what I think will happen to the story, but I definitely didn't expect this shocking turn of events: [SPOILER] The main character ends up killing Gong due to his infidelity. I appreciate the author for making me dislike Gong and not feeling sorry for him; it keeps me engaged to continue reading without stopping. I have a deep affection for the MC, who doesn't hold back and takes decisive action against Gong.

I've always had a soft spot for Editor B; our ship has been sailing since the beginning. Although the ending is open-ended, I can picture them together in the end, which suits me fine. This novel eerily hits close to home at times, and there were moments where I was genuinely scared. Gong's actions truly deserve the consequences; how could he cheat on his childhood sweetheart for ten years? I believe in zero tolerance for cheating, especially when it involves the wrong person.

If you're looking for a refreshing change from the typical kind MC who forgives everyone, this might be the story for you. It's a sad reality that despite the MC's love for Gong, he ultimately realizes the latter's betrayal and relies on friendships with characters like Editor B and the Film Emperor, even if they're being used.

The heart-wrenching part is that the MC still loved Gong deeply for those ten years, but it's a harsh lesson that sometimes people don't deserve forgiveness.

The novel is fantastic! I really enjoy the main character (MC), although he can be a bit overly cautious at times.

In a spoiler alert:
Editor B has access to way too much information about MC's criminal activities. To protect himself, MC suggests hypnotizing B so that he loses all memory for three years. If B remains amnesiac for the entire duration, MC plans to give him a chance to pursue their relationship, considering B's feelings for him.

Despite loving the story, it doesn't quite resonate with me because I prefer seeing the MC be more vulnerable and have some unexpected twists in his plans, as they seem too polished.

"Absolutely fantastic thriller/mystery with elements of revenge. The genre being aBL doesn't hold much significance; it could easily be switched to aBG without affecting the narrative. The essence lies in the compelling plot, making it an engaging and swift read."

My initial impression of the novel was that it would be a delightful comedy filled with amusing misunderstandings (3.5/5). However, I was pleasantly surprised by its unexpected twist and dark tone, which didn't disappoint me at all. I particularly enjoy stories with a cunning protagonist, and this one resonated with my preferences.

Nonetheless, I felt that the novel leaned towards the unrealistic side. The main character's plot felt shallow, and the author didn't delve deeply into the details; explanations were concise, leaving me wanting more depth. It seemed as though events were tailored to the MC's convenience, which made the narrative flow too smoothly, lacking authenticity. The lack of character names, with everyone referred to as 'husband,' 'childhood sweetheart,' 'film emperor,' or letters A to D, struck me as comical, almost as if even the minor characters were meant to remain faceless. I had hoped for a moment where their identities would be revealed, but alas, it never happened.
