Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke Chapter 227 Discussion

Honestly, this is my first review on novelupdates. It just goes to show how much I love this book.

However, I won't stop and just say these few words and expect you to read this. I am also a 100% sure that not everyone will agree to my review; they will not understand why I liked it so much and why I keep re-reading it again and again, just aimlessly waiting for the day blobtranslations would update the book. I fully understand that not everyone has the same tastes, people of all ages and genders like different things - one girl would aspire to be a princess and the other a general; one boy would aspire to be football player while the other would rather be a househusband.

Everyone has different views and it is not up to me to judge others according to my standards of what's good or bad enough. However, I am writing this review for people with my tastes. I want them to not suffer from my initial mistake and skip this wonderful read - I haven't regretted reading it since.

Good:

• Characters:

The main character is Shi Sheng, who somehow ends up in a system making her travel into different worlds and complete missions unless she wanted to die. Spoiler

(This isn't exactly a spoiler because it will be introduced in the first chapter) She is an author in her official life who has done so many wrong things - leaving her readers in cliffhangers and finishing her books in tragedies.

[collapse] Her character manages to be my all time favorite from all the female mc's of this generation. The main reason she doesn't rely on the ML to do her bidding; she doesn't fall in love with all of them and when she does, she's confident in her abilities and she takes care of herself before others. She is so badass and kind of a cheat; just remember to understand the summary. She's ruthless, shameless, selfish and cunning. I am so tired of the shy white lotuses as the main characters. She is my spirit animal - I love her.

"How can we scheme against her if she doesn't know how the right way to react is?" -- Perfectly describes her.

The other character who comes often and annoys the main character is the system. Unlike other books like this one, they have given the system an actual personality where she can fret and laugh and be surprised at how the host works her way through the missions the system gives her. There are so many funny reactions when the MC hands out her cheats whenever she wants - it's really funny to see the hashtags at the middle of the page.

• Plot:

While the translator is only in the Arc 8 with remaining 31 Arcs, the story is still in the beginning. However, the foreshadowing and how the author manages to push forward the storyline without bringing anything too inconspicuous to the book, she manages to earn my utmost respect. The plot, unlike much other books in the same genre manages to give a story to the system that has been torturing her in this journey. There are so many plot devices, cliff hangers and plot twists that will make you cry, laugh and love Shi Sheng - who is the eptiome of over-powered.

What I also like most about this book is how they managed to overturn gender roles and allowed the main character strong-headed, impulsive but calculated and cunning at the same time. Spoiler

There's this one quote where the Hallmaster says to his Senitel, "Don't worry she will protect me." I cried because I was so happy.

[collapse] There's nothing more I hate than sexism in these books where there are stereotypes and gender roles given to each of us - I love how it discarded everything to be it's own self.

• Translation:

I would give this book a five out of five just because of the translation. The translator is extremely hard working, precious and patient. The whole group of translators, editors and others manage to send three chapter per week with excellent co-ordination and precision. They also don't stop and even comment on the commenters reactions to each chapter. Words that are too hard to understand, they will post it in a link below, where you can easily access it as you are reading.

Not like other translators, they don't barge and comment on a specific seen they find funny and even if they do, t's at the end of the chapter - mostly posted to get comments from the ghost readers of their books.

Bad:

• The character overpoweredness. Shi Sheng at times seemed too overpowered at first - but then I fell in love with her because of that.
• So nothing.
