Male God is Chasing My Brother Chapter Completed Discussion

I enjoyed the read, until the abrupt end and extras. I am baffled it ends just like that after the suspense of the accident and the extras made me feel bored. It took me 4 rests time (going to search shorts on youtube) in between to finish the 2 extras. I can say it is an okay read but not a solid book.

The characters are very loveable (even side characters like Yin HanXing, Tang Tang, 3 classmates), but the author really is weak. It can be seen the potential and the plot transition planned, but the execution is scattered/loose and feels... abandoned? It is like when you read, you can construct a better use to the plot the author came with.

Near the end too, you feel the author abandoned everything; the fans, the persistent paparazzi from before, the ill-intended people in program. It becomes surreal. There is no congratulatory well wishes by the close circles, fans or passerby. It really becomes like main leads are shallow people and the world is only for the two of this connected lovers. It is weird for 2 movie emperors to be written this way. I had read tons other beautiful leads that are famous and the author took time to makes where they disclosed pictures to inform that they tie the knot and fans reaction as well as well wishes of others. Eg: BL: Rebirth of supermodel, they posted picture of only their hands with ring to let fans knows, and BG: Just Blame Me for Being Blind in the Beginning, Pei Ying posted their certificate with her ring. Even "Very Happy" where both leads had psychological problems had ending that is written better than this. I felt like a real substantial artists that is acknowledged for their talents by fans and entertainment heavyweight should at least had this kind of resolution by the end of their journey. Spoiler

What I mean is the joyful reaction of fans. That celebratory feelings. In RoS, fans very jubilant and the hands with rings picture in circle also tied the story good as it is about two souls meeting each other after a circle of life (rebirth), and Just Blame Me is a comedic story so the straightforward certificate and ring picture is to tell and shut up the mouth of sunspot because the story do tell the part where people speculated due to social standing female lead will only be played not married. The joyful reactions of main leads supporter is to show the characters aren't superficial. They knows the fans support towards their works and goods, so they shared the joys. Even "Very Happy", they aren't married but they share the moments like visiting "friends" workplace, "sneaky" picture going on dates. Because fans there "respected" the two labelling themselves as "good friends", the fans played along till the end with the breaking news everytime. So you feel the weight of being public figure. Here, the coming out of closet video is good, as well as the honeymoon picture. But the way the joy is shared... isn't joyful. The fans reaction are messy isn't it? That is because the fans really didn't know their idol/celebrities, so the feelings very messy. Add to that there is no congratulation from those are in good terms with them. So the leads feel isolated from everything. You expected the two to better each other, so there should be improvement, but no.

Instead of reading the extras where the Hollywood part feels so unnecessary (since the one wanted to be shown as face slapped didn't even appear with reaction shown), it will be better if it is fully invested on them coming out of closet and the part where they tie the knot then added bits of different fans reaction, close friends (or Master Old Yu/Dr Li/his special medical care blessing on it, TangTang surprised about their relationship, ZiMai reaction like maybe asking for holiday rewards). The two male leads can't attained their happy ends without support of many people due to their conditions, yet the ending is written without addressing any of those people.

Extra 1 also feels too glorified. JinChen had hard time breaking off Zhou Jia family control and had to weight his resources before use everytime before. Then in short span of time, not only his investment company flourished, even founded entertainment company without problem. Like the secret company is okay, it is a secret but the Mojia really is in the plain sight but the seemingly controlling Zhou Jia do nothing. JinChen also lavishly buy luxurious mansion on several countries here which makes him so fake. I will feel better if their home in B city remains the only cherished place in accordance to the two mental disorder. Flowers whatnot can be cultivated in that heritage mansion.

All in all, the extras left superficial taste. And made you rethink the end part back, and you felt eh, what happened with these two support systems? They aren't addressed at the end, and even in extras? Yeah basically that is the feeling of the book.

Many might not like MC - An XuMo because he is like a floating balloon. He really didn't care if people popped him, moved him, tied him, blown him away... as long as he is able to take a glance of ML - Zhou JinChen. From early on, I can see these two had mental disorders and also the intention of author - to use love to overcome it. I am complaining many times for XuMo to be helped by people and send to proper medical treatments but it never happened - as expected. I saw the appeal of the two main leads but author really elaborated them shallowly. At time, it is depressing seeing how XuMo is written. What surprise me is the real past of XuMo's parents and what the accident really were. It really had potential to be a good book. If only the author didn't come across too amatuerish, in ideal and execution.

Spoiler

P/S: XuMo had better luck in his showbiz debut like landing a role in movie (but that is thanks to recommendation of senior in work and investor's words in the first place. Basically cable. That no other newcomer easily get). I don't have problem with his starting line, backup dancer -> temporary guest -> actor. Because he stays as actor and that is his main goal from the start - to work together with JinChen. My problem is that the two main leads are so disconnected to the world they build in. They dabbles in the ent. world shallowly. Yes, they worked hard, disregarded rest time. But the way author wrote also at the same time unrealistic. Author wanted them to have the popularity of traffic route, but the two didn't even have interaction with fans. Yet they stepped over many to still become hot enough. Then they retire just like that without events to show gratitude to this supporters. Especially JinChen. Since he basically can escape his family hold due to this fans (market value), but really disappointed with his character development. His beginning is hard but get better and better due to his "Royal Guards". At least, do draws or something. It is very surreal. The feeling is like "Thank you, next" but without thank you part. Everyone and every conflict come and then, next, next, next, abrupt the end.
