The Empress's Gigolo - Reviews

Hi everyone!

I'm YH, one of the translators of The Empress's Gigolo.

Hope all of you enjoy the story and yes, the MC is a male :) For those who are confused, the MC is the "gigolo" of the empress - which is exactly what the title is implying!

We appreciate all the feedback we have gotten so far!

Once again, thank you all for the support :)

And i thought the mc will be a female. A wishful thinking indeed.

Empress gigolo
Mmmmm... Another female protagonist can't wait to read it I just hope that they also have the novel The Demonic King Chases His Wife: The Rebellious Good-for-Nothing Miss by Su Xiao Nuan

I'm simply intrested because the protagonist is MALE. I'm tired of female protagonists. GIVE ME A SHAMELESS MC. AHHHHH! ALL HAIL THE MALE SHAMELESS PROTAGONISTS.

I was drinking water when I click the latest chapter. I almost choke when I glance back when I saw the cover. Please change it back before it kill someone.

Above details are purely the statistics available at the time of posting. The stars indicate my expectations from the novel.

I'm really conflicted about this novel, at first I was expecting a somewhat original kingdom management with the mc's ability to go back and forth between Earth and the fantasy world plus the fact that unlike most similar themed novel the mc doesn't become a lord or a king but need to work for an empress.

But I was disapointed after reading so much chapters since about 70% of the story is about him "strolling" in the new world and taking out already made modern item from time to time for his own use (so basically no "building / upgrade" on the kingdom part) 30% is about him "strolling" on Earth thinking about what food he is going to bring back in the other world.
But one thing that is set in stone is that 100% of the time he is going to act like a mentally challenged person, doing his best to annoy everybody around him as well as frustrate the reader (for me at least that was the case)

TL,DR : A novel that could have been good and interesting to follow but
that is somewhat ruined because of character design and story development.

Sorry to burst your bubble girls but, isn't this a story whom a male is its protagonist? I mean, "The Empress' Gigolo"! See the apostrophe? Further more, the 'gigolo' word?! It means, a male escort or social companion who is supported by a woman in a continuing relationship; often living in her residence or having to be present at her beck and call----(wikipedia). So, just because the cover is a female doesn't mean she's the protagonist... sigh I want it to be a girl mc too

The cover's a trap!

Is everyone retarded in this review section?
First of all, its not even that hard to catch the title: "Empress's gigolo" note the plural form referring to something that belongs to the empress. It is fine to not know the word Gigolo even though it is present in other languages (At least, Spanish which is my mother language) But even if you didnt get it on the title, is it that difficult to read the Synopsis? "Bootlicking the empress, Ren Baqian ascended the apex of his life" I think it is obvious the empress is not the MC.  Read before commenting...

When I saw the cover, I was so excited because I thought the MC is a female but reality is cruel.The MC is not a female

Dumping some stones and stars here. Its better than all the other choices. Unfotunately not a female protagonist book. :^|
