The Slag Gong wants to Kill me - Reviews

This is truly intriguing. The characters up until now haven't received names, only designations like Brother A or Editor B. It's rather unique for a lengthy novel; perhaps it's more common in short stories. The main character exhibits a certain psychopathic nature, which might be unsettling at first, but it becomes apparent gradually. His meticulous planning and deep understanding of human psychology are both impressive and chilling. I find this storytelling approach quite captivating.

This is a gripping novel filled with emotional pain and a high-stakes quest for revenge. Prepare yourself, because the author has a remarkable way with words and storytelling. Although I haven't read their previous works, this one has made a profound impact on me. The narrative is told from the perspective of the protagonist, whom I'll call "The Unnamed Author," who deliberately avoids naming characters and replaces them with aliases like "Brother A." It gives a sense of unresolved issues and a detached attitude.

The plot revolves around intense, thought-provoking revenge, not the kind that can be settled quickly or easily forgotten. The Unnamed Author's vendetta serves as a reminder of the power authors wield through their words – they shape readers' thoughts and perceptions. The ending, which reveals everyone's true identities, requires some detective work to piece together.

While many might find the conclusion unsatisfying, personally, I found it compelling. One particular scene that stood out for me was the protagonist's initial reaction upon discovering his husband's infidelity: "I'll kill him. I'll destroy him, and then that Childhood Sweetheart of his." Speculating, the protagonist might have been too consumed by emotions to consider divorce, shock, or possibly due to his financial stake in his husband's company.

Alternatively, the protagonist could be a hidden psychopath, as suggested by events in the epilogue. After all that, he ends up with a seemingly loyal dog, which could be a subtle clue. So, be cautious – this is a romantic drama with themes of revenge and violence. Enjoy it during the day, as there are descriptions of gore that might not be suitable for bedtime reading.

The protagonist in this novel isn't your conventional forgiving hero; he's an intense and ruthless character. The meticulous planning of his elaborate revenge plot is quite exhilarating. As my first encounter with this genre, I find it thoroughly gripping and satisfying. In essence, it's a thrilling read, perfect for those who enjoy stories of revenge, dark themes, and horror elements – it's definitely a must-read for enthusiasts of such content.

The narrative can occasionally be confusing due to the lack of character names, but overall, it's an engaging read. The translation is satisfactory, despite the incorrect usage of "murder." Despite that, one can't help but root for the protagonist. The reason is straightforward: if you're in love with someone else and wish to be with them, divorce your current partner; there's no need for infidelity or even contemplating murder. The main character's despicable husband and his unfaithful lover not only cheat but also plot their demise. Instead, the MC takes matters into their own hands, meting out a gruesome justice. Following this, the MC finds happiness with another person, Emperor Film, in a non-reincarnation story. It's a thrilling tale of a deranged protagonist seeking revenge and successfully evading consequences.

The story is quite engaging, but some aspects seem unrealistic. The protagonist meticulously constructs an alibi and alters their persona, ultimately planning to drug their spouse's death. While the naivety of their character works to a point, it's implausible that they wouldn't suspect infidelity after constant hints. The protagonist focuses on disposing of evidence, like a surveillance system and incriminating texts, but overlooks the significance of the drug in the autopsy. It would have been smarter to cover all tracks from the beginning.

Leaving incriminating texts and sex tapes on the husband's computer seems unconvincing; a rational person would delete such evidence. Additionally, eloping would typically involve leaving no digital trail or staying in a foreign location, not a honeymoon villa. The GPS tracker on the victim's body raises eyebrows, as it's detectable through the company's software and could lead investigators to the source.

The public revelation of the affair tape puts the protagonist at high risk of being seen as a vengeful killer. They should have chosen a less obvious motive. The locked room scenario is unrealistic – it would be simple to break out with makeshift tools like chairs or curtains. The protagonist's actions, like throwing a knife through a window, suggest carelessness rather than planning.

Overall, the protagonist could have been more meticulous in their planning. Using a distinctive car to tail the couple is a red flag, and bribing individuals, including a character with a fabricated backstory, poses significant risks. The presence of hidden cameras in their home, despite being a 'neet' and easily discovered, doesn't align with a husband wanting to murder his partner. The story's pacing and logic need improvement for a more convincing narrative.

Here's your text translated into English:

"My assumptions about the characters are as follows:

1. Ex-husband's older brother A is Lu Hai: This is clear since the book explicitly states his identity.

2. Officer D's real name is Zhuang Yu: He is the one who tried to rescue his childhood sweetheart Luo Yu from the asylum but failed (refer to Epilogues 6 and 8).

3. Film Emperor C is Chu Linshan: Some may disagree, but considering Ji Qu's memory loss and the fact that others, like Xiao Hua, didn't recognize the man picking up Shen Yizhou (Epilogue 3), it makes sense that Ji Qu wouldn't recognize him. Plus, Chu Linshan's luxurious car and his eventual retirement from acting decrease the likelihood of a recognition. The habit of scratching his head and stuttering serves as a distinct identifier for him.

4. Editor Friend B is Ji Qu: This is rather obvious, but the author's confusing details might lead to confusion. Editor B's shady nature, eagerness to help, and intimate knowledge of the protagonist's life point to his connection. From their Robin analogy in Chapter 6 to his willingness to wait a decade for the protagonist in Chapter 23, it's evident that Editor B is more than just a friend.

Despite the protagonist's psychopathic tendencies, like manipulating people and lacking empathy, I find satisfaction in seeing the antagonist suffer. The protagonist's cold detachment and ability to mimic emotions are chilling, but their motivations remain unclear. Their marriage to the ex-husband and treatment of others show a darker side. While there are plot holes, the focus on the abuse of the antagonist is what draws me in. If you have recommendations for similar novels where the protagonist seeks revenge, please share."

Hey there, while reading this novella, I found myself questioning the main character's actions for quite some time. Although the writing might be somewhat weak and unimpressive (subjective point of view), the story left a lasting impression on me. It made me contemplate the importance of loyalty – never betraying anyone, unless absolutely necessary. The consequences of such betrayal, I believe, would inevitably come back full force (if not more).

The protagonist's resilience in the face of betrayal was truly remarkable. Despite committing an act that, from my perspective, warranted severe punishment, he managed to maintain a complexity that evoked both admiration and mixed feelings. I was deeply moved by his journey, even though I can't condone his actions or those of the betrayers – his husband and his lover. Ideally, the entire situation would have been avoided.

Nonetheless, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this work a read. It's thought-provoking and emotionally engaging, even with its flaws.

Wow, what an incredible read! The darkness and brutality were right up my alley; I absolutely loved it. This story provided a refreshing change from those where everything is easily forgiven for the sake of "love." I would highly recommend it to fans of intense revenge plots and gripping murder mysteries.

The narrative begins with the protagonist suspecting his husband's sinister intentions, uncovering an affair with his childhood sweetheart, and then ingeniously planning the ultimate payback. Although the romantic aspect might not classify it as a traditional yaoi, the character Editor B (Ji Qu) definitely stands out. It's evident that he has feelings for the main character, expressing a willingness to wait years for their reunion. He seems to be aware of the MC's plans, hinted at through the robin analogy and the "illness" clue, even assisting in the execution. In the end, it appears that they do eventually come together, though it's not without some suspense. The husband meets his demise, the former lover suffers psychological trauma, the MC exacts their revenge, and there's a happy ending for our protagonist - plus, a loyal dog named Ji Qu by their side.

The highly acclaimed Chinese revenge-themed novel stands out as a must-read. For those weary of characters like Gu Yansheng from "Black Lotus," this gripping tale offers a perfect balance. The meticulous murder plot, the clever planting of misleading evidence to complicate the investigation, the tragic endings of past loves, the protagonist leveraging their movie star status to exact justice, the downfall of Officer D, assisting Editor B's redemption, and the subsequent unraveling of family dynamics with the husband's parent's mental breakdown – all contribute to an extraordinary suspense story.

Rating this book at five stars falls short of capturing its brilliance. As for critics who argue the protagonist's response to infidelity seems unrealistic or lacks emotion, consider his declaration of being an "observer." This reveals a detached, calculated approach to the situation.

I have no clue why everyone is going crazy over this story; it's just plain ridiculous, filled with countless plot holes. It's essentially the epitome of stupidity when it comes to storytelling. I understand that many people may be tired of seeing soft-shou characters triumph over the antagonist or suffer, and perhaps they find this a refreshing change. However, for those seeking a well-crafted plot, this is definitely not the one to choose.

This book is a fantastic choice to read after finishing "Gaze at the Scenes of Debauchery" or any novel where the morally reprehensible character doesn't receive the consequences they deserve. It's such a refreshing change to encounter a protagonist who appears calm, gentle yet ruthless – someone who maintains a smile but can turn fierce when needed. The main character is a true psychopath, in my opinion, and witnessing their calculated revenge is incredibly satisfying.

What sets "Slag Gong Wants to Kill Me" apart is the lack of attempts to justify the antagonist's cheating or make the reader empathize with him. The husband (let's call him ML for now) is portrayed as despicable throughout, and spoiler alert: he meets his demise fittingly. The person he cheats with, despite knowing about his married status, actively seeks to harm the MC, further adding to the satisfaction of the plot.

The revenge storyline is intricate and thrilling, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Although some might argue that it leans towards the unrealistic side, the intensity and the恨意 build-up make it an enjoyable read. The ending, with the Editor's involvement and the unexpected twist, adds depth to the narrative.

Overall, this is a fantastic revenge tale that doesn't shy away from delivering justice to the wrongdoers. If you're tired of seeing scum gongs get off easy, this book is a must-read. I'd rate it a solid 4.0 out of 5.0 stars.

The story was engaging, but not without flaws. The epilogue felt a bit convoluted and the MC's meticulous planning seemed overly convenient, bordering on disbelief. It's a dark tale of revenge against a deceitful spouse, with the protagonist being a vulnerable yet cunning shou character, which added an intriguing twist. The book offers a satisfyingly twisted journey, primarily driven by the desire to see the antagonist suffer - the MC's vendetta was intense. Despite its grim nature, there's a redeeming element for the protagonist, though not for the cheating partner or their lover. Overall, a fast-paced read with a focus on psychological gratification.
