Must Spend the Villain’s Money Before He Goes Bankrupt Chapter 62 Discussion

The book’s plot is what you’d expect from a entertainment industry based bl. It has an ensemble of characters including directors, actors, investors, and a decent amount of face slapping.

Is it outstanding? No. Is it in any way special? Also no. But is it enjoyable? Very much yes.

If you’d fully read through the synopsis you’d understand that the MC is a very silly character, after all, you’d have to have a few screws lose to directly think “lemme spend all this money before he goes bankrupt” before thinking “I’m going to do my best to change the plot”. And that is what this novel is: silly.

There are moments where you’d question the plot direction, but only if you hadn’t accepted that this novel is meant to be silly. The MC goes through a lot of effort to burn money happily, and spends it on things that he doesn’t expect to get a return on. And of course, this book, being a comedy, will do it’s best to subvert that.

There are definitely plot points that are so coincidentally impossible that you’d question the direction it’s heading, but even then, it never broke out of the book’s universe. Every development in the book was something I loved, and at worst, pleasantly enjoyed. I definitely laughed and snickered a few times while reading this.

The development between the MC and the ML is also very sweet and made me cherish every humorous interaction they had. After reading about 62 chapters, I’d say they’ve made barely decent progress and is somewhat realistic within the bounds of chinese bl. I would like to say, however, despite it’s slow crawl, I didnt even notice how slow it was until I wrote this. I simply enjoyed the story that much.

Which is why I’m rating it 5 stars. Is it a phenomenonal book? NO. Does it have lots of plot holes? Absolutely! But I am biased, sleep addled, and I am writing this review simply because I enjoyed this book so much I decided to vomit words in the middle of the night.

Feel free to disagree with me. I do not have high standards when it comes to silly bl novel plots. As long as I’m enjoying it, that’s enough for me.
