Mini Reviews: I'm The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book, I Have More Meat in the Last Days, Full Level Bigshot Only Takes the Career Path

Title: I'm The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book
Author: 廿乱
Chapters: 122 chapters + 10 extras
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

Luo Shuyu was pointed out by the emperor’s imperial decree to the third prince Li Mingjin, who had a sinister and paranoid personality. The two had been married for three years. Li Mingjin always treated him with no words and coldly.

In an accident, the two rounded up the room, and Luo Shuyu became pregnant by accident. After he gave birth to a son, Li Mingjin was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy and sentenced to beheading. His one-month-old son was dying and he also received a glass of poisoned wine.

Unexpectedly, Li Mingjin escaped from prison, desperately sent him and his son out of the city, and died after blocking arrows for them. No one in the family survived.

Luo Shuyu only realized after his death that he was a supporting role in the novel “After Transmigrating Into a Book Four Big Brothers Are Fighting Into Marry Me “. The cousin from the countryside was the protagonist in the book. He was from the future world and he carried with him the goldfinger so he could hook up with the so-called big men in the book all the way to a high position, and finally got together with the fourth prince he supported and became Wu’s first male queen.

He and Li Mingjin were the villains in the early stage, and they were the obstacles in the way of the male protagonist’s ascent. If they wanted them to died, they would die.

Luo Shuyu woke up and returned to the day when the decree that he and Li Mingjin would married came. Three days later, the man who lived and died with him appeared in front of him and saw that he was still alive, young and handsome. He cried at Li Mingjin. The 18-year-old boy Li Mingjin raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, and said gloomily, “Don’t cry.” Although a bit fierce, his movements were extremely gentle.

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was a different perspective of a victim counterattacking the protagonist and his man with a goldfinger system. But it was also a little draggy, so I was uninterested in reading it at times.


Title: I Have More Meat in the Last Days
Author: Fei Dao
Chapters: 94 chapters 
Publication: N/A
Summary from Wattpad:

As a fleshy plant, Lianhua is so easy to grow into a human shape. When you open your eyes, the world is end. Shrinking in a bunch of mutated plants to fish in troubled waters, all kinds of succulents and flowers, no one knows that they will also suffer from hair loss after they become sperm. Wherever the leaf went, she quietly developed consciousness. As a result, her body was spread all over the world inadvertently. One day human beings suddenly discovered that the army of zombies that had been rampant was wiped out by succulents, and the territory was also occupied by succulents. Lianhua denies Shilian: The body is not responsible for the behavior of the leaves! Psychotic monsters are happy and joyous. The heroine X thought it was a big brother after rebirth. In fact, he became a little brother and the hero. Brief introduction: Plants vs. Zombies. Content tags: Strong and powerful spirits.

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This was a fun zombie apocalypse novel! Lianhua is a succulent who has lived for hundreds of years and finally cultivated into a human form. She's spent years watching humans interact for entertainment and enjoys being in the center of all of the liveliness, so she's a great protagonist to read about. She's all about having fun and soon learns the joys of being rich lol. 

Yuzhe was also pretty fun as the male lead. His slow change from being jaded and paranoid to accepting being a little brother was fun to watch. 

The other members in the family were nice additions. I still wonder about the rooster lol. Too bad it didn't have its own extra chapter in the end.


Title: Full Level Bigshot Only Takes the Career Path
Author: 李温酒
Chapters: 102 chapters + 37 extras
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

The business bigshot who covered the sky with one hand, Zhao Yao, died of an illness. Once he opened his eyes, he returned to the age of 23 when he was discharged from the hospital after a car accident. He was pushed in a wheelchair into a meeting where the family was fighting for power. Facing the Zhao family’s fighting, Zhao Yao moved to a comfortable position and watched the farce. “You are free to do as you please.”

In his last life, he was so powerful but he died of illness. In this life, he had no intention of entering the Zhao family’s bottomless family business. Facing a new life, Zhao Yao thought of the advice from his psychologist in his previous life. “Mr Zhao, perhaps you need to fall in love?”

Mr Zhao had been single all his life so he placed an order to buy highly rated reference books, including ‘The Guide to Love.’ He went through them one by one with the attitude of reviewing a 10 billion yuan project. “Step one, become a rich man.”

Zhao Yao frowned slightly. “So simple?”

After a while, the stars of a performing arts company shone, the performance of a live streaming company was rising and so on…

Zhao Yao, who was still single, asked his partner in a distressed manner, “Pei Mingzhan, have you ever been in a relationship?”

Pei Mingzhan’s gaze was deep. “It is simple. I’ll teach you.”

Later in the hotel’s business room, Zhao Yao finished reading the yellow book and casually shouted, “Pei Mingzhan, how are you?”

Pei Mingzhan calmly closed the notebook, his voice slightly heavy. “I’m fine.”

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I love reading about salted fish protagonists who are really smart, and Zhao Yao was a great example! He was so smart but paid for it by not taking care of his health, so he decided to be lazy and focus on his health after he was reborn. And he also was interested in learning about dating to help with his trust issues, which was hilarious. 

Because Zhao Yao was focused on being less stressed and was pretty hands-free about his tactics, a lot of the action and faceslaps occurred off screen or from different POVs, which was a little disappointing. I wanted to see SOME excitement first hand other than the gradual romance that occurred. 

Pei Mingzhan was a pretty amusing typical male lead. His whole plan about their relationship being public was hilarious because of the dramatic irony. His poor agent probably incurred high blood pressure because of Pei Mingzhan lol.

Book Unhaul 31

Found a couple books I wasn't interested in reading anymore.

Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo

AUG: Luna, Overbearing Grandparents, Dinner, Glass Blowing, Wedding, Drunk Antics, Seventeen

August was an exciting month because we got a new roomie! Baby Luna was born near the beginning of the month and has taken over our lives ever since. :D She’s so cute. Everything she does is cute. Even her cries are cute and pitiful. Her babbles are super cute, and her timing is impeccable! Sometimes, she’ll interject while we’re talking around her like she’s stating her opinion, too, lol. My phone already has so many pics of her. :D

I love being an aunt. I get to hold her and play with her but not have to deal with the sleepless nights, feeding every 3 hours, and diaper changes lol. Luckily, Shelle and Kyle are doing a lot better. They’ve figured out a routine that allows them to get more sleep than at least before.

Since Luna was born, our mom came up to live with us for a month. It was nice eating her cooking and hanging out, but over time, it made us realize that we really can’t live together for long periods of time again because our habits and lifestyle changed since we moved out. There’s no big contradiction, but it was an accumulation of little things like how we cook or clean or deal with leftovers.

The parents on both sides were starting to become another source of irritation. We get it, you’re excited to become grandparents and see your grandchild, but it was getting ridiculous and annoying. They’re parenting style was already too eager and spoiled. For example, when it was time to feed Luna, my parents were reluctant to wake her up because she was sleeping so sweetly…not like she doesn’t immediately go back to sleep after eating. >__> This would instead delay her feeding time and make her more irritated when she woke up, ruining Shelle and Kyle’s whole routine they were trying to establish.

Another example was Kyle's mom, Lee Ann. She asked to come visit and made it seem like it was just her coming over and then decided to surprise them by bringing his stepdad and grandparents over as well without any warning. This pissed them off immediately. First, it was about safety. They didn’t know who they were around previously and if any of them were sick and could spread to Luna. Second, Kyle hates this “surprise” type of shit, and his mom should have known it. Third, Lee Ann was super clingy and not letting Luna sleep. When Luna was sleeping in the bassinet, Lee Ann would come over and scoop her up as soon as she made a noise, which would wake her up eventually. Luna wasn’t even making any distressed sounds. She just made A sound, and Lee Ann would immediately come over and pick her up, which irritated the parents since Luna wasn’t getting any restful sleep.

So yeah, having a baby is nice and all, but it can get stressful not just from taking care of a baby but because of your overbearing family.

Throughout all of this, I still went out and had some fun. I met up with Tian for dinner one day after work. We originally planned to go to Mamak to try Malay food but found out too late that it was closed on Tuesdays, so I took him to Sokongdong Tofu House, which was nearby. I was introduced to this place from my cousin a year ago and really wanted to come back and have more Korean food, so it was great timing lol. Then we got Kung Fu tea, since it was also in the same plaza and talked for a while.

The next weekend, Alec and I went to this glass blowing class with some of his friends and coworkers, which was fun. It was also SUPER HOT. Holy crap, I felt like I was roasting when I was standing in front of the ovens. We chose to do pumpkins, since our group was so large. We got to choose the colors for the pumpkin and its stem, and the results were pretty cool!

Mine is the blue one and Alec’s is the multicolored one.

We also went to a pretty cool pizza place afterwards called Savage Pizza. It’s comic book themed, so it was cool seeing all of the paraphernalia on the walls and counters.

Two weeks later, Alec and I headed back down to Warner Robins on Thursday night. We worked remotely from my parents house on Friday and drove over to the wedding venue to have Jackie and Ben’s rehearsal dinner because they were getting married the next day! The venue, Hummingbird Hill Farms, was so pretty! It just was so hot and humid that I didn’t want to step outside lol. Unfortunately we had to go outside for a bit to practice walking and positioning since the ceremony was outside.

The decorations and setup were really nice, too. By the time we left, the tables and seating arrangements were completed, and the bride and groom stage in the front was basically finished.

We were surprisingly on time during the wedding the next day. The bride and her bridesmaids were in the bridal suite in time, got ready in time, and finished taking getting ready pics on time. We even had time for Shanice to make a pretty charcuterie board like when we did it in last year’s cabin trip lol.

We helped her mom get the bouquets and boutonnieres ready downstairs while she went upstairs to take pics with Jackie while I ran interference, since Jackie has been getting irritated with her mom whenever they talked about the wedding. Meanwhile, the boyfriends came a little early and ended up helping out with the flowers downstairs with the groomsmen lol.

The ceremony went well except for the part at the end when we were getting ready to walk back to the reception building where I hit the little table holding the glasses used for their unity shot. Both glasses fell on the ground and shattered. I didn’t know until later that Meethu completely forgot to wear her shoes when we went down to line up to walk out with the groomsmen, so she had to carefully tread across the ground that was littered in shattered glass… Oops…

After the ceremony, there were more pictures for the wedding party and the bride and groom’s parents. That took a while, but the scenery was really nice, so I’m excited to see the pics when they come out.

Then we finally came back inside and had the first dances before finally having food! Lol I wasn’t even that hungry because we were snacking upstairs in the bridal suite all morning, but that didn’t stop me from being excited about the food and dessert! The food was okay. The mac and cheese was great, but the meat was too dry. I think because I wasn’t starving, I was more picky about the food. But the desserts were great! Jackie and Ben had been hyping it up before, so I was especially excited to try everything with Alec and wasn’t disappointed lol.

Towards the end of the night, almost everyone left except for the wedding party and some family and friends. Jackie and Ben had been drinking all night, especially after Jackie broke out the fire extinguisher that spouted out shots of alcohol. When Jackie drinks too much, she starts ranting at people. We kept on seeing her ranting and decided it was time for her to cool down and change out of her wedding dress in case she starts spewing. It was really difficult to take her away from her ranting object, her coworkers' poor boyfriend lol, so Ben had to eventually fireman carry her away to the groom’s room so that we could change her clothes.

It was a good move because we left her with Ben while we were out helping clean up until Ben asked for our help because she was in the bathroom puking. Meethu and Emily went to help out while Shanice and I cleaned up the bridal suite. When we went down to see the situation, it got worse. Jackie passed out and vomited in the handicap stall. The floors were slippery, so Ben (still drunk but coherent) fell a couple of times trying to pick her up. She puked over her clothes, so they had changed her into her spare clothes after finally moving her out of the stall and into the pathway in front of the stalls before she started puking again.

Luckily, Luke, a nurse, was there to help give advice because Jackie hit her head a few times when she fell over, and we were worried she might have a concussion. She was at least coherent enough to answer our questions when she woke up briefly, but she was basically dead weight.

Meanwhile, the rest of the guys were outside the bathroom grabbing more paper towels and water for us and looking for any movable chairs or objects to help transport Jackie out of the bathroom and into Terry’s truck. Terry is Ben’s cousin and best man who had agreed to take them to their hotel at the end of the night. He also let Jackie borrow his shirt because she ran out of clothes to change into.

In the end, Josh found a cart used to move foldable tables, so it was basically a gurney, but it was too big to fit in the bathroom, so we had to get Jackie out of the bathroom first. I think it took four guys to pick her up and transfer her onto the cart. Then, we all surrounded her as Josh pushed the cart to the backdoor, where the cars were parked. Terry had already pulled up his truck, so we just needed to get the bride and groom outside and into his truck. We were too optimistic lol.

As we pushed her near the door, Jackie woke up and decided to lean forward and almost fell off the cart. We caught her in time, but Ben somehow slipped and fell. Some of his cousins checked on him while we tried to keep Jackie on the cart because she was awake again. When we looked back, Ben was still dizzy on the ground. All of the alcohol finally got to him. He was still pretty coherent, but he could NOT move. Now, it was a struggle lifting Jackie into the truck while helping Ben walk outside lol. It took a lot of manpower, but we finally did it.

Terry asked for someone to come with him to help move them into the hotel, so Meethu and Luke went with them while the rest of us helped clean up the venue because the owners were coming by to lock up soon, and we needed to clean up the venue. Luckily, we had the mop and bucket ready early on, so Alec (also super drunk but coherent) mopped up the bathroom in time, and then we all finally drove home.

Drunk Alec is super coherent and helpful, so he was a great team player all night. However, as soon as he sat in the co-pilot seat and layed down for a bit, the alcohol finally got to him. I didn’t realize just how bad it was until we got back in the house. My room is upstairs, so we have to walk up the stairs to get up first. I was carrying a lot of stuff, so I walked past Alec on the stairs to drop stuff off, since he was clutching onto the railing and walking at a snail’s pace. I thought it was fine since he was at least consistently walking up the stairs while I grabbed the rest of our stuff from downstairs.

When we finally made it to my room, Alec wanted to take a shower, so he started stripping and asked about his glasses. He wore contacts today, and we realized that his bag with his glasses were still in the car, so I went back out and grabbed his stuff. When I walked back upstairs, I saw that the door to the bathroom was open and that there was a naked figure lying in front of the bathtub trying to turn on the faucet. IN THE DARK. Like some weird horror movie lmao.

I quickly ran in and turned on the light and asked what he was doing?? He innocently answered that he was trying to turn on the water. I thought this was just him being extra slow because he’s drunk. It’s not until he was lying in the bathtub with the shower on and started talking to me about how you only need three points of contact to get around anywhere that I realized that this drunkard has been blind THIS WHOLE TIME. Sometime between getting out of the car and getting into the house, HE HAD HIS EYES CLOSED THE WHOLE TIME. No wonder he was going up the stairs so slowly! No wonder the bathroom lights were off! No wonder he took so long trying to turn the water on!

I was so busy getting everything and settling things around that I totally missed the fact that his eyes were closed! He was so calm that I didn’t think there was anything off other than him being extra slow lmao! After drying off, he slowly made his way to the bed and finally fell asleep.

The next day, he didn’t remember anything after drinking his last shot lol. When I retold the whole story later that day to Shelle and Kyle, it was all news to him as well lmaooo

Weddings are so eventful lol.

A few days later, we drove downtown to go see Seventeen’s concert! It was so fun! Unfortunately, Joshua and Hoshi weren’t there because they got Covid, so there were only 11 members, but it was still great hearing their music live and seeing all of their fan interactions!

We also saw some of Alec’s friends when we were standing in line for merch afterwards lol.

It was a great way to end the month. All in all, August was a blast :)

DNF Reviews: Apocalyptic Heroine Development System & Thousands Suspect Cannon Fodder After Being Reborn

Title: Apocalyptic Heroine Development System
Author: 凌梦潇然
Chapters: 88 chapters + 16 extras
Publication: 2016
Summary from Shubaow:

Qin Yiyi felt that she was unlucky. After an appendix operation, she was able to catch up with the Transmigration Army.

She also unfortunately transmigrated into a dark novel [Life of Su Rui at the End of the World] that she read when she was bored with training, and became the cannon fodder in it. Match, with the same name and appearance but different fate, and finally was designed cannon fodder by the dark heroine of Mary Su.

But we are not afraid, we have the best space and the cultivation system, we can still walk out a bright road in the last days.

But who can tell oneself how that evildoer can't get rid of it if he gets on it?

Although it is an apocalyptic essay, Ling Meng is not very good at writing about zombie battles in the apocalypse. In the end, it is very likely to develop into a romance novel in the apocalypse background.

Finally, I say a bit about Ling Meng's abuse. This is definitely a one-on-one favorite essay. Women are stronger than men.

MY REVIEW: 

Look, I don't mind reading about OP characters so long as they're interesting. They need to have a weakness and vulnerability to be human. They must struggle, or else they're boring because everything's too easily solved. The main leads in here are too OP and pretty boring. Everything is so convenient for them from leveling up quickly to making traveling all the way to the Western Base because they're so strong. 

Let's not even talk about the loveline. Male lead basically fell in love with the female lead at first sight and starts aggressively pursuing her as soon as he realized his feelings. Boring. I decided to quit after reaching chapter 35 because of this.


Title: Thousands Suspect Cannon Fodder After Being Reborn
Author: 灰泉
Chapters: 97 chapters 
Publication: 2021
Summary from Wattpad:

It was only when Shi Huai was eighteen that he realized that the world he lived in was nothing but a book, and that the person who was loved by everyone was just a cannon fodder and died tragically on the street. 

Shi Huai: Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors. How could the liking of the people around him be fake? 

Until one day, a boy who looked very much like him moved into the house, and all the things in his dreams came true. 

For the first time, his doting father touched him for the first time, his brother, who was always soft-spoken, gave him a cold look, and his likable gentle bamboo horse made him go away impatiently. 

When he died on the rainy street, all the things in the dream came to light. That young man was the young master that the Shi family should really hold in their hearts, and he was just an unknown wild breed. Meng had already warned him, but he didn't take it seriously and was not greedy enough. When he opened his eyes again, he was reborn on the eve of the true young master's return. 

This time he treats green tea as gentle as everyone wishes, but he didn't expect-

Father: "You don't have to be so sensible." 

Brother: "I know you've been wronged." 

Zhuma: "In my heart, he will never be better than you." In the end, even his nemesis in the last life fell in love with him and was willing to die for him

Shi Huai: ? Do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors, thank you.

MY REVIEW: 

Made it to chapter 32 before deciding to give up because I wasn't interested in the characters or the plot. The only highlight was that main guy actually went and got help from a psychologist.

Title: The Beautiful Man Became My Pet 
Author: Saruwaka Chimi
Chapters: 5 chapters
Publication: 2018
Summary from Manga Updates:

Haruki, a prep student, who is living alone with no parents nor money. He currently works as a cabaret boy. One night, he met a beautiful drunkard older mister who was sleeping in the garbage area. Thus, Haruki decided to take him home as the thought of leaving him alone was too dangerous. However, the mister suddenly attacked him as he mistook the situation for a one-night stand and made him cum dry. Haruki continues living with this mysterious mister because the sex-service felt so good that he could melt.

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

The relationship started off nonconsensual, but I still enjoyed the pairing just because they're so cute and funny. Their chibi faces were hilarious.



Title:
Reborn As the Ex-wife of the Paranoid Male Lead
Author: Zhi Tang
Chapters: 122 chapters + 2 extras
Publication: 2020
Summary from Novel Updates:

Jian Shiwu was reborn. In the previous life, relying on his family background, he forced the male protagonist Shen Cheng to get engaged to him.

Only after his death did he realize that Shen Cheng was terrifying.

The man’s power was overwhelming, and he retaliates against everyone by means of brutality, and single-handedly built a business empire.

This taciturn man in everyone’s eyes has never been a soft persimmon, but a dormantly waiting wolf.

After the rebirth, Jian Shiwu decided to stay away from Shen Cheng to keep his peace

At the beginning:

Parents: “I heard that you like Shen Cheng, do you want to get engaged to him?”

Jian Shiwu: “I’m afraid you want me to die!”

Friends: “I heard you still like Shen Cheng?”

Jian Shiwu was shocked: “It’s fake, don’t believe in rumors, don’t spread rumors!!”

4.5 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

Jian Shiwu is a precious ball of sunshine that must be protected at all costs. I laughed and had so much heartache for this kid! Such a likable guy must have been raised by great parents, and it definitely shows. 

His mom was the MVP. She was so supportive and was a steady backbone in Jian Shiwu's growth. 

On another note, the translations were a little confusing at times like when you use machine translations. There's a lot of typos, too. Jian was autocorrected to Jane quite a few times in the first half.


Title: I'm a Cannon Fodder
Author: 开花不结果
Chapters: 105 chapters
Publication: 2019
Summary from Shubaow:

Su Yi is a big demon king of the Buddhist system who wants to retire. She was once dressed as a small cannon fodder in the book. Later, the protagonist and villains called her a boss. 

Cannon fodder 1: The stepsister who passed away early in the memory of Mr. Ba-Is my brother under control today? (Chapters 0-30) 

Cannon fodder II: The villain's beautiful mother, Bai Yueguang's uncle, fell in love with her. (Chapters 31-60) 

Cannon fodder three: The female protagonist's beautiful-looking mother-in-law is the wife of the tyrannical prince! (Chapters 61-80) 

Cannon fodder four: The male supporting role's little fairy fiancee - it's not about breaking the marriage, why not? (Chapter 81-105) 

The old-age life after the big devil is dressed as a small cannon fodder. 2. The female protagonist is a retired demon king, looking at the Buddhist system, but she is actually cautious and does not suffer. Content label: Time-traveling sweet text, fast piercing through books 

5 STARS - I LOVED IT

MY REVIEW: 

I really liked this novel! If anything, it was too short! There were only 4 arcs in total! However, each arc was packed and interesting. 

I liked Su Yi's gradual romance and how OP she was in every world. Normally, that would make the story boring, but because Su Yi was always trying to be a low key cannon fodder, she never really stood out outrageously except for being super beautiful which is usually her character design in the story lol. 

She actually reminded me of Chu Xiang from Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder. Instead of being like most people who transmigrate with a goal of starting their life over, Su Yi actually uses her transmigrations as a vacation because she's bored lol. She's just there to live a life of eating, drinking, and enjoying the scenery. Eventually, she has a partner that usually finds her or she finds in each world, so life is even more amusing. 

Overall, it's a good quick transmigration story. The author could have continued with more arcs, but alas, they didn't.
