Don’t Pick Up Boyfriends From the T*ash Bin Chapter 148 part1 Discussion

This is a good novel, and I can see why plenty of people give it 5 stars.

Let's start with the good parts. The Quick Transmigration genre as a whole being critiqued, well, it's not something completely unique since others have gone against the grain as well, but it certainly is different from most others. I personally liked how the 'transmigration' is handled, and what happens to the host body. The settings and premises of each world are also interesting enough on their own to carry the other parts of the novel. The individual worlds and their characters are probably my favorite part of the novel, as well as the theme of redemption and character flaws in non-main characters.

Now, there are some bad parts. The MC and ML scream Mary Sue. Even for my s*upid standards. The MC is not only the best actor out there, he's also a schemer and somehow the only host to not take everything at face value. Spoiler

Like, is the author saying that if someone spends their life without much of a social circle, has no family and no lover (the requirements for becoming a host), they're not going to be skeptical enough in the system? There have been so many hosts, not a single one looked twice at it? (Unless they are MC, of course. Of course MC breaks the mold.)

The ML is pretty much as omnipotent as a person can get. Conflict honestly doesn't have much suspense, since MC and ML are so OP. Spoiler

It's also pretty obvious that the MC and ML love each other, but of course they can't/don't know, because plot. Literally, the villain's plot. Then again, this could be my bias against the 'lovers reunited' trope at work, because I personally don't like it.

All in all, if you can stomach the CP being super OP but not getting together, then it's definitely a good read.
