Mini Reviews: When I Transmigrated for the Second Time, the Male Leads Got Reborn; You Use a Gun, I Use a Bow; Accidental Mark

Title: When I Transmigrated for the Second Time, the Male Leads Got Reborn
Author: 恕冬
Chapters: 66 chapters 
Publication: 2019
Summary from Novel Updates:

During her first transmigration in the book, Qi Qiu perfectly went through the plot. She refused her arranged marriage, hooked up with the movie emperor, redeemed the wolf dog, persuaded the flirtatious prodigal second generation, and waited for them to fall in love with her before ruthlessly dumping them like a slag woman, and then killed herself to give way to the female lead.

She thought she was done and that her mission was completed, yet, she was unexpectedly told that the mission had failed, and that she could no longer return to her original world, therefore, she could only be reborn in the book if she wanted to stay alive.

In order to live well, Qi Qiu decided to become a new person, stay away from the original male protagonists, and honestly marry the low-key big boss in order to spend the rest of her life with the status of a wealthy married woman.

However ….

The fierce and aggressive wolf dog looked at her with red eyes: Qiu Qiu, this time I will definitely protect you, okay?

The most popular movie emperor tugged her wrist with tears in his eyes: Qiu Qiu, the lowest point in my life was when left me.

The big boss’ brother asked her with a devastated expression: Qiu Qiu, why did I go back in time and find out you became my sister-in-law?

Qiu Qiu: ????

Crap, did all the people I slagged get reborn?!

No no no, this is scary. Husband, hug!

The big boss, the only one living this life as his first, walked on his journey of daily catching adultery. He slowly raised his eyebrows: am I your husband in name only or also in reality?

Qi Qiu: In reality! It must be in reality!

4.5 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I loved Qi Qiu and Gu Qingshi's dynamic! Their interactions were hilarious! Qi Qiu is usually an arrogant and elegant young lady, but her husband keeps on catching her in her most embarrassing moments! He not only remembers her remarks, but he also catches her in her lies and keeps on running into all of these misunderstandings between her and other men lmao. 

And Qi Qiu keeps on slowly falling for Gu Qingshi one second because of his sweet remarks, but then she immediately becomes angry with him because his "sincere" remarks are completely different from normal people's imagination and sounds insulting instead of sweet lol. 

I stayed up until 5am reading most of this book because their interactions were too funny that I couldn't stop reading!


Title: You Use a Gun, I Use a Bow
Author: Hú Shēng Yǒu Mèng
Chapters: 100 chapters
Publication: 2019
Summary from Novel Updates:

SGH is a multiplayer online tactical competitive shooting game.

When Wen Xi first came into contact with the game, like most people, he used a gun as his main weapon.

But his shooting skills were too poor, often having teammates vent about whether he was the master of outlining the human body.

Until one day, he picked up a bow.

Since then, SGH has had another archer assassin named “Wency”.

It’s said that his arrows never miss their shot, a hundred shots and a hundred hits, killing with one blow.

It’s said that only the first ranked sharpshooter “Mac” succeeded in killing him.

It’s said that he likes “Mac”.

Wen Xi: …where did this rumor come from? Mac, come out and clarify!

Mo Chen: En, it’s a rumor. Actually, I like you.

A shou who wholeheartedly wants to make money through livestreaming vs. A gong who wholeheartedly wants to trick the shou into joining his team.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

Not the most exciting eSports novel I've read, but it was still enjoyable. 

You could tell that the author was running out of ideas/wanted to wrap up the story quickly since they pretty much rushed through the domestic and global championships towards the end. There were no more exciting fights :( 

The romance was pretty standard and go with the flow. No big waves or crazy revelations but plenty of dog food with each interaction. I felt like Wen Xi was a passive, obedient little wife, which got boring at times. Luckily, he's actually black-bellied at times, which made situations funnier.

The team interaction was also pretty fun! Poor Cat got abused all the time lol. The side character plots were nice and made them more interesting. I didn't know the author also wrote My Teammates Are All Crazy. I definitely prefer that book since it's a lot more funny and entertaining lol.


Title: Accidental Mark
Author: Die Zhiling
Chapters: 99 chapters 
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

Pei Shaoze unintentionally heard about a novel called Accidental Mark. Once he woke up, he found he had transmigrated into the alpha scumbag in the book, Pei Shaoze. The omega protagonist of the novel, Cheng Xia happened to have his pheromones out of control. The original scumbag not only took the opportunity to mark the protagonist but also killed the protagonist’s parents and ruined his reputation. The protagonist was completely blackened and returned five years later to stab the scumbag to death.

Pei Shaoze, “……” What type of melodramatic plot was this? Why not invest well in movies and TV shows when he was the boss? His brain was used to bully the protagonist. No wonder why he would be stabbed to death.

Therefore, he thoughtfully sent Cheng Xia home and helped select a school drama for Cheng Xia. “This drama is suitable for Cheng Xia and has the potential to be popular.”

It turned out to be really popular. Cheng Xia said, “Thank you, President Pei!”

“Cheng Xia should expand his shows and challenge himself.”

Cheng Xia whose fans soared to the tens of millions. “Thank you so much, President Pei!”

“Do you want to try this drama? I think you are talented enough to handle this difficult role.”

At the awards ceremony, Cheng Xia said, “The person I want to thank most is President Pei!”

On Pei Shaoze’s birthday, all the stars of the company came to congratulate him. After the party, Cheng Xia personally sent Pei Shaoze home. The young man’s cheeks were slightly red and his eyes were shining as he stared at Pei Shaoze. “President Pei, in fact, I know your feelings toward me and I like you very much.”

Pei Shaoze, “……?”

Later, it was found that Pei Shaoze was a producer in every one of Cheng Xia’s shows.

The fans said, “This alpha is pretty good. Xia Xia, hurry and chase him!”

Cheng Xia answered, “I’ve caught him :)”

—Give you the most tolerant love and help you spread your wings to fly high.

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

Super cute and fluffy! Full of sweet misunderstandings, respect for each other, and a hilarious system that gave up on his job lmao.

Also, it was nice that the main character was the gong, which is rare in ABO novels. I feel like it's usually the omega's POV in these types of novels. Instead, Pei Shaoze was a mature, steady main character that was originally only trying to help out Cheng Xia since he knew that the original character went through a lot of trouble because of him. I also appreciated how Pei Shaoze had no clue about ABO settings like going into heat and markings and was always startled by the ways of the world lol.
