Review is for volumes 1-3, the main body of this work, because I’m writing this after finishing and I don’t feel like going back to section out what did and didn’t happen in each book.

This is very clearly a freshman work — the difference between the flow and character development of Scum Villain vs Heaven Official is noticeable. I enjoyed the meta aspect of it and the System was an interesting plot device. I haven’t read or watched a lot of transmigration/isekai novels/manga/anime, so I’m inexperienced with the genre, but this was a relatively unobtrusive foray into it. I liked the characters, although even after 3 volumes I don’t know that I know Luo Binghe that well. The boy - certainly, the spoiled maiden - somewhat, but how we got from a to b is rather muddled. I liked Shen’s investigation into character backstories, and how the female characters actually got to be something other than thirsty and jealous as they were in the “stallion novel”. But some parts of it were unfulfilling, and I’m not sure that I find this to be all that romantic even, it’s more just two idiots with one brain cell to share, so they’re meant to be.

Una obra muy divertida, llena de situaciones absurdas y dramáticas...
Tarde un poco en agarrarle el hilo, pero una vez lo entiendes lo terminas en un santiamén.
Una cosa que no me gusto del todo es como se desarrolla la relación de ambos protagonistas, siento que fue un desenlace un tanto apresurado, y la relación no me termina de gustar...
Luego supe que con esta obra la autora trato de hacer una sátira a las clásicas novelas BL y romances y entendí mejor porque suceden varias cosas.

"Or, in other words, the story that circulated among the people of the world has already come to an end. But, the story between you and me has only just begun."
