I Beg You All, Please Shut Up Chapter 125 Discussion

First of all, kudos to the translator for working on this novel despite a difficult economic period through COVID19. The translation quality is great, and follows the raws closely. Hopefully things worked out better for the translator as the economy reopened.

On to the novel.

I've read the raws, there are published chapters beyond paywall sites proliferating everywhere already.

While the initial premise of a cool, collected MC randomly gaining skills is interesting, the story drops off a cliff shortly after translator's last update (c65).

(1) Author/MC is an absolute d*ck

Immediately AFTER the MC very rapidly secures a girlfriend Bai Xiaochun (in the span of 2 chapters? it's so quick and early that I can't even call that a spoiler), author insists on making MC out to be a player. MC constantly constantly CONSTANTLY flirts with ALL the women around him, with no qualms whatsoever. MC literally keeps insisting to the flirty women around him that he is a player.

Spoiler

After officially having a gf, MC uses his privilege as the company BOSS to:

(1) Lie on other women's thighs

(2) Shops around with other women while pretending to be a couple with them... and buys them jewelry too

(3) Constantly questions them about their s*xual history and preferences

Yea, totally NOT Jeffrey Epstein / Bill Gates s*xual harassment vibes...

[collapse]

As per @Shuchou, the story gets pretty f*cked up when MC's gf Bai Xiaochun openly states that it's her own fault for not being able to prevent the MC from flirting with other women. I kid you not, that's in the raws and translation. I'm a dude, but this is a f*cked up male chauvinist mindset that author is shoving into the story.

(2) Useless skills and short, pointless scenarios

Even the skills that MC gains are pretty subpar and the chapters are incredibly short, to the point that it's become a slice-of-life novel. There are chapters and chapters of filler of MC and his girls doing nothing but cooking, eating and chatting. Despite ultra short chapters!

As a result, there is a severe lack of build-up and application. It goes like this:

- MC hangs out with his girls

- MC gains a skill

- Randomly find some lame situation to apply

- Situation resolved in a few chapters.

- MC goes back to hanging out with his girls

Rinse and repeat.

Author clearly got writers block and started stuffing random skills into the MC, but had no idea how to develop the story.

Spoiler

Deadpool's regeneration? No application.

Basketball? No application besides showing off for 1 chapter.

Hacking skills? Completely useless after chapter 65. The whole application was boring. MC has amazing hacking skills, best in the world. The people around him tell MC the situation is impossible. MC resolves it in 0.5 chapter. Yup you read that right. 0.5 chapter.
