Mini Reviews: This MC Is Kickass; Later, He Became a Royal Healer; Rebirth of a Movie Star

Author: Early Cloud
Chapters: 217
Publication: N/A
Summary from Novel Updates:
While creating her character, the game’s system randomly generated a “unique” name for her.

To avoid being recognized by her friends in reality, Shen Jingbin went for broke and made her in-game character look as ugly as possible, turning her into the ugliest character in the game.

But who would have thought that these days, even NPCs would judge her based on her looks! What should she do now?!

Thankfully, she had enough luck to overturn that. Hidden quests, amazing pets and top quality equipment were all lined up for her taking.

Even male gods were offering themselves up to her!

MY REVIEW: 

I wish the summary changed because it's a little misleading. The last line made me think that it was going to be about a Mary Sue character who had a bunch of god tier guys chasing after her, which made me hesitant to read this book at first. You know, sometimes you gotta be in the mood for reverse harems lol. Luckily, I was more interested the comedic aspects of her creating a super ugly character in the game lmao. Thankfully, it wasn't a boring reverse harem with a bunch of guys fighting over her and only had one male lead. 

The bickering/bullying sibling relationship was also hilarious. Her brother's a super hot, super popular, flirty player in the game, and he was so ashamed to even admit that they were siblings at first because of how ugly she looked compared to all of the praise that he said about her behind her back before she joined the game lmao. This led to a bunch of misunderstandings at first because other players thought that he went crazy and went after an ugly hag! And even though he grumbles and complains about his sister, he's the first one to message her whenever she logs online to hangout and do quests together. He's secretly a siscon even though he won't admit it lol. I also loved how her brother, at first, was trying to help them get together, but after they got together, he kept on complaining about all of the PDA lmao.

In the end, Shen Jingbin is still a Mary Sue. Due to her incredible luck, she basically stumbles upon a bunch of cheats that helps her throughout the entire novel. Also, I'm not a huge gamer, but I've never heard of a game like this one with so many global hidden quests and secret schemes. However, if you're willing to overlook all of that and stay for the humor, action, and little bits of romance sprinkled throughout, you'll have a good time. :)

Summary from Novel Updates:
You Liangxing would never open the speech function in game.

That was because his voice was…

Particularly! Kittenish!

But there was one day, he queued up with a teammate who had so much to say that they may as well explode. Vexed to the point of no return, he contributed a voice that was capable of splitting heaven and earth, “Don’t BB.”

The other party who was being scolded stilled. In the ensuing silence, he suddenly let out a long, relishing… moan.

You Liangxing: “…..”

Later —

He realised that the person was a great god,

Much later,

Without him realising,

He became the great god’s royal healer.

…. And also his boyfriend.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

KK is the most shameless person I've ever read lmao. He constantly pushes You Liangxing's buttons with his shamelessness, it's incredible that he doesn't get beaten up more often lol. I love both leads' contrasts with their looks and personalities. You Liangxing's handsome and manly but has a delicate, feminine voice while KK is tall and beautiful but super lazy. You'd think they wouldn't get along, but they have the best teamwork when it comes to gaming.

Since KK's a popular streamer, and because they first met during one of his streams, his entire online audience constantly witnesses their great gameplay and hilarious interactions together. KK gains even more popularity because his audience want to witness their great online love story lmao, and it was hilarious seeing how his audience noticed all of these details and clues about their relationship lol.

You Liangxing's sister is also pretty hilarious. Even though she a big celebrity, she's a brocon who can't find a boyfriend because she loves her brother too much lmao. Actually, You Liangxing's whole family is pretty interesting.

I would definitely recommend this if you want to read something fun with hilarious characters and a mobile game that brings everyone together.

Summary from Novel Updates:
In his previous life Bai Lang was a small star. He rejected his boss and s*upidly engaged in a relationship which he thought was true love.

He didn’t expect that he would get betrayed, die of a heart attack and trouble his boss to accompany him on his last journey.

After his rebirth, he decided to give up on true love. As for his boss… since he wants something then just let him have it.

So this little star after his rebirth collected his boss, and then it became a true love story with his boss.

In between there are good friends/love rivals/scum men in the mix. A sweet story with a happy ending.

MY REVIEW: 

I've seen this webnovel recommended multiple times, so I thought I'd give it a chance since it's also a pretty short read compared to some of the other novels I was reading lol.

There were a lot of explanations in the beginning, which got draggy at times. This was mainly to set up the background and explain how and why he ended up dying. 

However, I really liked the characters and how they slowly fell for each other. Bai Long died from his lover's betrayal in his past life, so he decided to take a different route and enter a relationship with his boss instead. He went into that relationship with wide eyes, disillusioned by "true love" and just wanting to have an easy life compared to his past life. However, his boss's kid made them entangled even further, and they slowly grew feelings for each other.

His kid made everything even cuter. His bickering with his dad was hilarious, and I love all of the nicknames they had for each other. I really loved the extras which showed him later in the future with his love interest, which was also super cute. 

There's also major revenge against the ex-lover because even in Bai Long's new life, he still tries to use him.

Overall, it's a pretty good book if you're into rebirth, found families, and slow burn revenge stories.
