This whole story is... confusing.The summary itself is confusing and impossible to understand. The only reason I started reading is because it's slash.I highly recommend someone with knowledge of the story edit that summary or add a small explanation at the end of the official summary, but as it is, it's not understandable.As for the story itself, it's even more confusing. The MC is transmigrated into a normal, modern-day universe (meaning it's not xianxia or ABO or apocalypse, etc) which he read as a piece of fiction. And yet, apparently we learn that the guy he is transmigrated into was a character who pretended to be pregnant to force his boyfriend to stay with him??This isn't ABO, so male pregnancy shouldn't be a thing. So... it doesn't make any sense?But the narrative tells us that the story the MC has been transmigrated into was really tr*sh, so maybe the whole 'but males can't get pregnant, so no one would believe that lie anyway' thing was just one of many plot holes in a bad story?And also, it's really funny because at one point the bodyguards of the ML arrive with the ML, and they are described as 'black bodyguards'. So I'm thinking, huh, there aren't that many black people in China, and among those black people there would be a limited supply of bodyguards. Would there even be enough black bodyguards living in China near the ML to hire? Or maybe he got them from abroad? Is there a reason they're all black?It was also a surprise as Chinese webnovels usually only have Chinese characters, and very few people from other countries or races.Or maybe the author or translator meant 'black-clad bodyguards'?To get back to the first chapter, a lot of it was very confusing. So many things were introduced at once that I was forgetting who was who and couldn't retain every snippet of information. At one point I was thinking, 'huh, so the MC has a system? Wait, no, that's not the MC's name. What was the MC's name again?' and I realized the ML is the one who has a system, not the MC. Probably the novel the MC transmigrated into was a transmigration novel with a system? Or the ML is another transmigrator who entered the novel at the same time as the MC?A lot of my confusion is, in my opinion, more the author's fault than the translator, since it seems to be an issue with the way the story is narrated and how stuff is introduced. I think what would help is if the summary on novelupdates was a bit more clear and understandable, so new readers can start reading this story with enough of an understanding of the premise that they won't be as lost as I was.The story seems promising so far, but the sheer confusion I was feeling means that it's not a five-star for me yet. I might change my rating as more chapters are posted, though.
