The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System 人渣反派自救系统 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

booksinacottage's review against another edition

4.0

一个本无异心的大好青年，满心欢喜谈了一场恋爱，却不过一个骗局，被镇压在暗无天日的高山之底，无数个日日夜夜。谁有资格让他不要怨恨？谁有资格让他“放下吧，看开点”？

若要除去心魔，非断去执念不可？
若断得了，那便不是执念了。

他一旦痴迷上了什么东西，就会忘死忘生，孤注一掷。并非不知底细，而是一直从未怀疑。

果然还是没办法讨厌人啊
可是，喜欢一个人，为什么这么难。
它想，真是很难。可是，再难也难不过，要一颗心停止这份喜欢。

My least favorite of the three big books by this author. Main dynamic just doesn't work for me and I have a bit a teacher-student ick even if both parties are of age. It is the funniest though.

Honestly I didn't have high expectations for this book and it actually positively surprised me. I really like the dialogue Shen Qingqiu has with the system. Also mentions of modern things like texting apps or even Harry Potter were pretty cool too. Because the whole thing plays out in the world of a trashy novel sometimes some things just don't feel real at times (like some villains that are completely dumb). But yeah I just ordered the 2nd volume, because just like in the 1st Volume of mdzs the plot didn't really end and I really wanna know what's next hehe (okay I'm just really curious to how Luo Binghe will act as a character from now lol)

I really liked this one! The humor is really good way to break up the complex world building. Luo Binghe is Shen Qingqiu’s blorbo from his stallion novel
