The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man Chapter 200 Discussion

3.5/5

So firstly, I agree with most of the reviewers in that it's TOO LONG. The premise is that he becomes a tool man once the main protagonist of the world appears but it took forever for that to happen and when he did, it only lasted a couple of chapters. It's obvious that the plot won't go the way it's supposed to since they spent months with each other already culminating their feelings.

But that aside, I think this is quite the funny story. I saw some reviews that mentioned a lot of the face slapping was unnecessary but it coincides with the characters' settings.

SQ doesn't want to have HC as proper backing, he wants to stand on his own, so he tries to resolve things by himself. Although HC still helps him on the down low, he also says he knows SQ has to develop by himself and also showcase his own talent to be loved by others and not just by him, because he thinks he's that great. That's why they waited until SQ has enough of a background to stand beside HC, and he just cheered him on and showed support in his own way without abusing his power as a rich second-generation.

Its entertaining and funny but alas, the translation isn't quite up to par. Aside from the usual grammatical errors, there are times where whole words/phrases are missing so I end up just skipping that entire sentence altogether. There were also times when the names are incorrect so it's hard to tell who's talking. I.e. SQ said "". "", Replied SQ - so it's like he's talking to himself.

Overall a good read, but the translation quality (although I applaud the TL, I would just like to suggest getting an editor?) and how long it is really bums me out, hence the 3.5. The length especially, since at some point the plot (since it's pretty generic as danmei goes) gets so repetitive that I have to put it down. The sugar in this is great though so if you're a fan of fluff, highly recommend!
