After Transmigrating into a Book, I Became a God by Becoming an Intelligence Dealer Chapter 175 Discussion

(I relied on google translate until I caught up.)

It's a very well-written serialization, but it's still a serialization and not a published novel, to do some foreshadowing.

Pros

• • Multiple POVs

• • Multiple couples

• • People aren't s*upid

• • No (reverse-) harem, but multiple little brothers and sisters

• • Somewhat smutty but not most of the time

• • No h*mophobia from the author

Cons

• • There's a couple deus ex machina and/or plot devices, one of which is really overboard and really sapped a lot of the enjoyment in the latest chapters. If it isn't resolved soon or satisfactorily, that might be the start of the decline of the serialization. It's the coupling of devices that are too strong, so it has to be nerfed or underutilized, or to have an equally absurd challenge/conflict point. I already am not counting the FMC being the author.

• • There's a lot of immoral coupling (I mean one is already too much but there's really a couple). I'll put some info in the spoilers.

• • h*mophobia goes unchecked, but it's also featured once or twice max. (This is a strictly B/G novel. Idk what the term for Josei for CN is. It's on jjwxc.)

• • Love for the FMC is adequately slow, but still forced. Actually love is forced everywhere. Maybe it is my pet peeve but there are authors who like to write heartless stories who do not get the actual situation of heartlessness. The only valid case of heartlessness coupled with strong intelligence should be, not understanding their own emotions (oh I'm not actually heartless) (or in more IRL case, not understanding the different forms of love and that some people do not have access to some forms of love), never, having not met the right person (unless that person is a different gender or you have only recently been healthy, both mentally and positionally). Looking at you a-spec people. Anyways, watch out if that's your peeve.

Spoilers

• • It won't spoil you that much as I'm not putting in real spoilers and it will be pretty obvious once it becomes relevant.

• • (deus ex machina)
    • • Spoiler

        In addition to a deus ex machina There's also a diabolus ex machina. A couple of both actually.

    • • Spoiler

        The power of love and gut feelings are quite strong, for the lack of a better word. I just take it as the worldview.

    • • Spoiler

        The super strong follower really is super strong.

    • • Spoiler

        The power of love is also super strong.

        [collapse]
    • • This one's an actual spoiler given the length of content between the foreshadow and the payoff: (I suggest not opening this one) Spoiler

        There's a death loop follower

    • • Probably more unlisted...

• • (immoral)
    • • Spoiler

        An ancestor raised a girl from young age and decides to accept her proposal.

    • • Spoiler

        ML is 27/8. MC is also the same but her body is 17/18. There is no XXX between them yet.

        [collapse]
    • • Could be more unlisted... I'm quite immoral myself but as a grown adult with both experience and sympathy and a grown mind, I do have lines.

• • Trigger Warnings: There's one rape scene. It's not the FMC but it's described in detail. It's one but not once. Of course DV is also a given in dramas like this. I haven't had that so I'm not sure how much it affects people.

Conclusion: It's enjoyable, at least for some 100 chapters. It's a serialization so the author has plot set up but they are also making it up as the story goes. Sometimes that's OK, sometimes that results in not the best possible storytelling. But again, it is still enjoyable, good storytelling.

I forgot to mention, if you go by MC style, it's a story mostly about scheming, though not acting.
