This was such a good start to the whole novel, It doesn't waste any time and just gets right into the action. And I'm not kidding, right in the beginning Zifan literally just gets in there and slickly and completely screws over the plot of the fake best friend and the regressor. And we all know that any other MC wouldn't do that, they would basically just grab popcorn and watch until the deed was essentially about to be done. Zifan even had the audacity to completely turn the trap on them. Throughout this whole story of getting Zixin back into movies while screwing over the Male Lead and the regressor really got me feeling that Zifan would make Grand Admiral Thrawn jealous with his scheming and sly plays. It really shows that Zifan specializes in punishing those who ab*se their gifts to do evil. and oh boy does this regressor get completely screwed over, it was essentially a one sided beat down and all she could do was bit*h and cry as well as literally throwing vases at the man she wanted to leech off of.
[collapse]Arc 2: Poor Childhood Sweet-heart's counter attackSpoilerThis one was VERY satisfying to me. I've been quite fed up with a lot of these 'childhood friends' doing all types of bullsh*t and essentially getting away with it. However at the same time, you can really sympathize with the villainess as well. Because Arranged Marriages are absolutely immoral and a violation of human rights. What's even worse is that everyone including Zifan basically go 'It was a joke bro, relax.' Things like Arranged marriages and pressured relationships are absolutely not something you can joke a bout. However I do understand that this doesn't necessarily excuse her cheating. If she was really dissatisfied with the relationship as they said she could've just said so.
I was also surprised with the love interest of this world. She didn't even put up an actual fight against the fact she was from a middle class family instead of a high class. Instead as they mentioned, she was next to unfazed by it. Of course, she was basically only here because she wanted to get into Zifan's pants but it was also a really great business experience to be in the shoes of a different perspective. And this is probably partially why she was able to excel just fine alongside Zifan to the point she was able become the full CEO of the learning company.
I was kind of confused by her parents. To be honest they simply could've just disowned the childhood friend the moment she started causing problems and refused to improve her studies and manners. Frankly I was surprised they didn't start trying for another kid the moment the FML left to be with her biological parents. And it was also kind of strange that the rival company tried to keep their claws in it for so long. It should've been plain as day early on that they couldn't use the childhood friend to absorb that family. AT the end of the day Zifan then spent a lot of his time improving his other abilities for future use in other worlds, and this'll become a trend starting from here.
[collapse]Arc 3: Piss off the scum fatherSpoilerTo be honest there's not much to say about this one other than it being the typical revenge and fix life story I guess it was very satisfying of having the mom wake up from her 20 year coma to kick her cuckholding husband in the balls. It was also kind of strange how the stepson just couldn't get it into his thick skull that Zifan wasn't someone he could f*ck with. He had proven time and time again that he couldn't touch Zifan, yet he constantly kept saying 'hold my beer'. I can't say I was completely satisfied with the ending though, but becoming sterile to flip off the bloodline of the family I guess is fine. By the way, my guy busted his stepbrother's nuts with a baton... a F*cking Baton.
[collapse]Arc 4: The Domineering Educated YouthSpoilerTo be honest, there's not much to say here either, but we're back with the reborn targets. And this time Zifan basically did next to nothing aside from starting a company while the regressor just went off and f*cked herself over on her own which I thought was hilarious.
[collapse]Arc 5: An Honest ManSpoilerThis one was hilarious, from Zifan faking the sleepwalking to scare the sh*t out of his targets from him basically helping the mu*derous boyfriend dig his own grave deeper and deeper. was a relaxing read, one gripe is that there wasn't a proper happy ending with a love interest. But I guess with that type of situation, finding a loving partner would be difficult, mentally.
[collapse]Arc 6: Raider, Get lost!SpoilerWoo, now this one was particularly interesting. Dude has to fight the common system you see in these types of stories. and really kinda tells you that a lot of these systems are just plainly parasites for the soul if you think about it. With the System Host though, not quite sure what her plan was. Despite Zifan having puppet strings wrapped around her basically, there was no way any of her plans would actually get her close to Zifan in the first place. And we saw how it ended up, she had to resort to system drugs to try and get Zifan in her sheets, yet he still saw right through it. It was interesting to see the system basically go into pure panic mode when it really started to realize that Zifan knew of it's existence and acknowledged it as an enemy basically. Yet despite all that, it still tried to bind with him after it separated from the original host. It was kind of interesting on how he dealt with the system too.
