I finished the novel by MTL. It's very easy to read and there are not many idioms used here. So if you're hooked with the recent chapters and doesn't have the patience to wait for the next chapter, then go ahead and try it.*spoiler alertThe plot is good. Though transmigration is already cliche, what separates this novel among the rest is that two people transmigrated to a book, the MC and his brother. I love their relationship and cried a few times because of how many sacrifices his older brother did for him. At first, I thought that they weren't really related because they're both orphans (i thought that the older brother lied to MC about being blood related but they're really related) and we'll exprience a romantic love between them when they meet again inside the book. But then the MC met the ML and I knew that it ain't gonna happen which made me feel a little disappointed since in the beginning of the novel, the older brother was often mentioned and I thought he was the ML, sigh.Anyways, the ML is still okay. From what I read in the MTL, the ML asks the MC for consent most of the time so that's a check. He's your typical ML, rich, good in business management, big vingar jar, handsome and has high endurance and strength hehe. However, the author made him more realistic. Since all he's been doing is related to business since young, that's what he is good at. He ain't gary sue who can cook any dishes or play the violin or fight against everybody and win (he's still OP since he only lost to MC's brother who is a very expirienced fighter [i still think he's a bug, he's more OP than the ML]). However, what I like about him was that he took his time learning how to cook for MC, always very considerate to MC, always supporting MC to do what he wanted to do, not wanting to use MC for business relations, always letting the MC have the freedom interacting with other people (though sometimes he is very jealous, he won't lock the MC in a small dark room but he would tell the MC how he honestly feels and MC would try his best to coax him to not feel jealous), and not forcing the MC to be the bottom (yes, he let MC think he was the top AHAHAHHAHAHA lol, anyway, the MC is the bottom, fyi), etc. In any case, he's the very the ML that other MLs should look up to.Now about the MC, I don't think there's any need for any growth in the personality department since he's already grown in his previous world. But he's very dull in the love department. At the beginning, he thought that he and ML are very good friends. However, when he realized that he liked the ML, he immediately acted and confessed to ML. He's that simple. So I really like his character, very decisive and straightforward. He's very skilled in the piano and can compose and write lyrics. He can also fight. He isn't very good in business management so when the opportunity arose, he immediately resigned so that he would not implicate the family business. He felt the love of his family and felt guilty that he isn't really their original family member. So he told his father honestly. Sigh, he's too lovely. I was annoyed when he was forced to take the negative pots from the original and he was even scolded very fiercely by other people. For example, there wss a person the original harassed in high school. Fortunately, the victim didn't take revenge. The MC took him as his best friend and tried to compensate the victim and he got the chance to reach his dreams with the help of MC. And there was the original's eldest brother who looks exactly like his brother, the MC was full of expectations that he was his brother from his previous world but all he got was a scolding that pretty much hurt the MC's feelings. I also like that the MC told the ML that he isn't the original. All is good in the end, no complicated feelings whatsoever. Anyway, the MC is very good.I was very surprised about the father, who knew that the original was replaced by the MC. He didn't try to isolate the MC but treated him well as his son. I really love this character. He was sad that the orginal is gone but held it in and tried his best to be the stronghold of the family. He's a family-oriented man, who gets sad when one son leaves the house and gets happy when all sons are together and are getting along with each other. Anyway, he's a great dad.Though there are some plotholes about how the MC and his brother went to another world. Why his brother got another identity and body. Did the original sacrifice his life so that the family won't be ruined, which made the MC transmigrate to replace him to save the family? If so, then what is the brother's role in this? Is the novel a parallel universe of the previous world since the MC resembles the orginal in name and body, his brother resembles the original's eldest brother, and their dead parents who resembles the orginal's parents.Anyways, it's a good novel. The smut is not that detailed, but still mentioned. The side characters and villains are realistic and have their own stories. Anyways, im tired of writing now, just read it.
