BEWARE of SPOILER

Just like in the blurb, Gu Bai passed away and entered a system where he have to enter different worlds/arc and reach his goal according to the previous host's wish in order to have a chance for reincarnation.

Gu Bai relied mostly on the plot of the world, his own capability and of course the Master of the system to reach the goal. The Master told Gu Bai not to get attach to anything in the world or it will be hard to gather his soul. Gu Bai agreed, thinking he had no heart. That was until he met the ML.

Plot wise, the first few arcs were interesting. But, it dwindle down once it reach the "The Imperial Palace's Pampered Concubine is Inferior to a Dog" arc. And so, I skimmed the rest of the arcs and continue with MTL. Yes, it's not fully translated yet. The translators did a good job, the reason for the rating. I was incline to rate it lower.

It's a unmemorable story and even though the twist was different.

Quite a nice and easy read to relax. It took me only too days, I really need more. Eh. A very nice novel.

Here we have a nice plot, with hidden stone you didn’t see coming. Horny ML who is ready to stand agains the whole world for our MC, and clever sweet MC. But no, don’t think he is stupid or helpless, he is very powerful himself, and not helpless at all though the novel.

Arcs are very nice. They have different taste, but always sweet and with a bit or comedy. Plot is given peace by peace which is also good and just right.

The relationship and story itself is total soulmates, there is some drama at the end but it didn’t hurt much. Just a bit, like a good about of seasoning in tasty food. Not toxic, which is nice. Only one arc had some ML abuse but it was small and not like abuse in some novels. Not tragic, in short.

The ending was the only point I’m not sure how to rate. The story was good, logical points is there and everything explained, but I would really like to have a bit more. Somehow I’ve got this feeling like the ending was so so good but rushed. But okay, most important that the hidden treasures in the plot were satisfying.

I’m conclusion, it’s nice, easy going and relaxing read with fun and horny moment. Dog food guaranteed. Totally recommend.

Another webnovel finished.✌

This is the story of Gu Bai after he died and was offered a chance for reincarnation. He needs to travel to different worlds and accomplish the wish/wishes of the original ownwer of the body he's using for each world.

In every world, he meets the reincarnation of the ML . I don't usually read quick transmigration because I have this impression that QTs are somewhat almost disjointed.

For this novel, there's a connection in every world and Gu Bai has a general goal to achieve. I like a few of the arcs and quite enjoyed reading Gu Bai's adventure in every world.

I'm just mildly underwhelmed by the final reveal. And things seems to have ended abruptly. But in general, it was an enjoyable read.👍❤

Uma ótima novel, com um começo meio fraco, os dois primeiros arcos são bem mais ou menos (inclusive meio problemáticos), mas depois melhora bastante, o arco em que ele é Du Yunxi, aquele em que ele vira um cachorro, aquele em que ele é Rong Yi, e onde ele é Qiao Qi, são realmente bons, o que para mim compensou esse começo bem fraco. A história anterior do protagonista é bem esclarecida no final, o que muitas vezes não é feito em novels de transmigração rápida, o enredo em si não é nada novo, e eu gostaria que os arcos tivessem sido mais variados, houveram vários em mundos antigos. Senti uma certa falta de mais esclarecimentos do envolvimento do ml com a parte das transmigrações, embora eu tenha conseguido compreender as motivações para ele fazer os acordos e tudo mais, acho que poderia haver um espaço no final para deixar tudo isso mais claro e deixar a trama mais concreta. Fora isso, eu amo a relação deles, é super fofa💕💕

My first time reading QT (quick transmigration) story. And gawd it SO good. Every arc is different and special in their own way. It doesn’t feel repetitive at all.

One thing I truly love about this story is the devotion of ML&MC. Different universe, different world, but they always able to find eo. The ML retained his whipped-perverted-horny-possessiveness ass throughout the whole arc.

Reread: IT STILL THE BEST EVAAA LOVE IT ❤️

I seriously love this book!MC is really bold and smart.ML is always a big BOSS(I think?) and I love it this way.And I love MC's and ML's possessiveness for each other.And rest assure,it's 1v1 story.I don't want to give a lot of soilers because sometimes it just 'destroy' the mood🙃.But I promise you will love it once you've read it!

TL;DR: there's definitely better QT novels out there though at least this one never actually went the whole pseudo-rape route (#forever bitter about Perfect Destiny and others like it). Each world is brief and it's hit or miss if the face-slapping is even a focus of the world, and the yandere ML is pretty much instantly in love so there's no actual romance development either.

This was actually my second read through of most of the book, since I held off while waiting for the last two arcs to be finished for full re-read and... man, I have regrets. So many regrets. There was clearly a lot I'd forgotten about this book and maybe reading it arc by arc meant I had a better tolerance for the shenanigans that were going on in it but... thinking about it, probably not.

It didn't start off the worst, though the ML is the pretty typical yandere who falls in love almost instantly and spends the rest of the time trying to force a relationship with the MC if he initially isn't on board with it. This becomes increasingly tiresome when MC stops being so coldly distant and starts becoming as obsessively interested in the ML. This story legit reaches the point where MC goes into the next world, immediately finds the ML, and throws himself at him with no preamble, and the ML (who's character settings are almost always coldly distant, cruel, ruthless, etc) immediately folds like a wet paper towel and obsessively dotes on this complete stranger. The second-to-last arc, the Interstellar one, was by far and large the worst example.

Anyway, my point is it was boring to read. Each world was very short so the plot development was minimal, with stereotypical face-slapping happening around a romance that... wasn't terribly interesting. The book made some claims at one point about how the MC had to pursue the ML in every world and I wanted to laugh because that was a shame-faced lie. The ML was either the pursuer or he was instantly indulgently in love with the MC so to call anything he did a "pursuit" was a joke.

Also, I straight up skipped two arcs. I read the last chapter or two, just to get the overarching plot bits, and moved right the hell on. More details in the below content warning lines. Anyway, the last arc was moderately more interesting than the previous couple of arcs but it still felt like something of an abrupt ending

CW by arc (under a spoiler cut because it's kind of spoilers but also... it's just content warnings, no plot leaks)

Transmigración ilimitada y rápida.

Realmente esta historia no es original: comienza con la muerte del protagonista que se ve arrastrado a diferentes mundos donde deberá cumplir la misión asignada y asi pasar al siguiente. Desde el inicio sabes que se va a encontrar con la misma persona, ML, en todos los mundos y hay una trama secundaria que es la que une su pasado y que no sé revela hasta el final.

Hay un sinfín de libros como este, pero los mundos aquí son realmente cortos por lo que no te da tiempo a aburrirte, también son muy variados y las misiones también cambian desde las más básicas y sencillas a otras donde deberá equilibrar el conseguir su objetivo con conseguir a su hombre.

La trama de fondo también es interesante aunque quizás es la menos desarrollada, no tiene agujeros y cierra bien la historia.

El mayor problema del libro reside en las explicaciones de cada mundo, cuando te explica el objetivo de la misión, se siente como si leyeses un manual de instrucciones pero, es solo una parte al principio de cada mundo.

He disfrutado mucho de esta lectura y quizás no la recomiende si tienes en mente comenzar algo con más sustancia o elaborado pero como lectura ligera es divertida y su formato de pequeños "cuentos" la hace bastante adictiva.

(Hay una traducción en español de esta novela en Wattpad, "Glicinia-me aferro a ti", pero, no la recomiendo, la traducción está sin editar y no tiene ningún sentido)

read up to chap 51

kinda boring i’m ngl don’t like either mc or ml rly plus there are big physical age gaps between the both characters EVERY FUCKING TIME?? for no reason?? also pseudo incest several times which was odd and i only read like 4 of the i think 8 worlds?

first one was 17/27 then it was 15/100+, then i think smth like 16/26 and then 19/26 or 27 but there’s rly no reason?? could’ve just made mc first of all legal in the first three and then not such weird and gross age gaps??

ml has noncon and dubcon tendencies and sucks as a whole he’s a whole bad stereotype

mc has no personality which is ig the point but it’s weird and i don’t like it plus he got weirdly obsessed with the ml outta nowhere really and most of it happened off screen during the time he spent with the ml between the time he solved the quest and died.

also apparently one of the later arcs has mc as a yao, mostly in dog form, which is weird af too. horrendous

Es una buena historia de transmigración rápida, además es bastante corta al contar con 110 capítulos.

He de decir que cada arco me gustó, más que todo por tratar de entender un poco como se las arregla el shou y ver cuan gruesa es su cara, he de mencionar que hay demasiada comida para perros en algunos de estos. La vergüenza ajena tampoco falta, nuestro shou es realmente descarado al momento de coquetar. Realmente tiene sentido el título de la novela, pues es prácticamente lo que pasa en cada arco. En cuanto al final, creo que es uno de los que mejor ha finalizado, usualmente no le encuentro mucho sentido cuando se trata de este género, pero puedo decir que me agradó, no es como que no te lo esperas, y eso lo hace mejor a mi percepción, porque al recolectar pistas previas ya te familiarizas con ello.

Essa história realmente me surpreendeu muito, e ela possui muitas cenas muito engraçadas. Inicialmente eu não esperava me apegar tanto aos protagonistas, além de não esperar a direção em que a história foi. Gu Bai é apresentado como alguém que morreu e sua alma foi pega por um Mestre misterioso para realizar missões em diversos mundos, a partir daí a história se desenrola em arcos, em diferentes mundos com diferentes objetivos de acordo com as almas dos anfitriões originais. O MC que é aparentemente 'sem coração' se apaixona pelo ML e ao longo dos arcos vemos os encontros dessas duas almas e descobrimos alguns segredos relacionados tanto ao Gu Bai quanto ao ML.

Holding onto my man é dividido em vários arcos de transmigração, onde Gu Bai, encena o personagem estimulante/bucha de canhão de determinada história, com a morte como resultado final caso falhe em alguma missão. A cada missão, surge um mistério em volta de quem é Gu Bai e porque, independente da história em que entre, ele sempre encontra e se apaixonada pela mesma pessoa.

A história em si, foi agradável de ler e o casal é bom, mas senti que eles mereciam um final mais esclarecido.

Rong Yi e Du Yunxi (meus protegidos)

*a história tem alguns arcos problemáticos e duvidaveis kk principalmente com insinuações de incesto

3.8, aunque varía según el arco, un 4.3 por el final.

Los mundos son todos entretenidos, aunque, como todas las historias de QT, hay mejores y peores, también según el gusto de cada quién. Sin embargo, entre tantas historias del mismo género, no se queda atrás ni pierde su propia esencia *ejem* sobre todo por el final *ejem*.

El inicio y los espacios entre cada arco a veces me resultaron confusos porque no sabía lo que estaba pasando con el trasfondo, aunque ya en el último arco todo quedó aclarado y eso le da puntos a la historia.

Por si no quedó claro, el final es bastante bueno.

I actually really liked this book. I would actually rate it a 4.5 if I could. I like the MC and the ML, although I do feel a little bad for the second ML?? (Idk if I can really call him that.) I like how the MC was excited whenever he met the ML for the first time in every world. Like he was all "MY MAN MY MAN MY MAN" and I loved it lol. The ending was good although I wish we had another chapter or 2 about their lives after. Also was kinda hoping the second ML got a little spin off story as well. Overall a really good book. Definitely gonna read it again at some point. Would recommend.

I enjoyed it. The earlier arcs felt more satisfying than the later ones, when it was less guaranteed that ML would love Gu Bai and help him on sight. I know the summary warns about hugging the golden thigh, but some of the late arcs felt a bit too easy / god-mode. The final arc was interesting, but the ending seemed to come out of nowhere. Just 'welp, ML came, we're leaving, bye' after a big build up to... nothing.

3.5 stars, rounding down.

Because each arc was pretty short, there was a lot of plot holes, especially in the beginning. However, if you suspend your belief a few times when Gu Bai follows through on his plans, then it's a pretty entertaining story as he fulfills the original owners' wishes. The imperial palace arc was really funny because of his body's instinctual reactions lmao. Gu Bai's emotional growth and overall storyline was also an interesting mystery that slowly unraveled.

i seldom read about quick transmigration type due to some complicated plot but i find this story intriguing and it actually easy for me to read (as a first time reader for this specific genre)

i really like how it gradually make sense and how the lore behind the true identity of MC and ML being revealed bit by bit every world MC went to complete his tasks. maybe after this i’ll consider reading other quick transmigration stories.

Aunque me gustó, no es que me fascinara como otras novelas de transmigración rápida. Quizá sea la explicación del porqué... No me quedó todo muy claro o simplemente es mucha "casualidad" el reencuentro... Pero en fin xD.

Recomendada para cualquiera que le gusten las transmigraciones rápidas 🌟.

Standard multi-world transmigration where the MC and ML play a ‘Where’s Waldo’ to meet up through souls connecting. A few of the worlds are not worth reading. Too convoluted and others just boring with too much eternal revenge. The better worlds showed the closeness and playfulness between the leads.
The ending twist was mostly narrative and lacked interest. Four stars are generous.

Ehhh.... another QT novel. However, I felt that the world building for each Arc seems abit lacking. IMO it feels incomplete?

The premise of the story is not too bad, with fairly interesting arcs. But it does not stand out from the other QT novels I have read so far.

Comedy? Not so much. Just lots of face slapping and fluff.

Would I read again? Maybe? 3/5 re-read value.

This made me laugh, I haven't been able to get over FOD, and i was looking for anything slightly similar, and this gave me feels. The second to the last arc had me screaming... The shamelessness of this CP. Might not be for everyone but definitely one I could see myself rereading.

very much "tell don't show", would have been much more interesting and enjoyable if we could follow along with the steps of MC's plans and schemes and not just hear about them ...

Something you have to realize when you start this book is that the MC is literally heartless. He literally doesn’t have a heart, which in turn makes him a heartless/cruel person. He only cares for himself, and we can see that by his actions and thoughts.

This was a light read, funny and sad at times. The ending felt abrupt though, which is one of the things I disliked about this book.

MCnya pintar, shameless, badass..MC terkenal nggak punya hati, nggak pernah tertarik sama orang,semuanya dianggap nggak penting.tiap arc misinya beda2, ada yg misinya nggak boleh mati, ada lagi yg misinya harus melindungi master, bikin idolanya jatuh cinta, balas dendam ke playboy, dll. Tiap arc juga nggak terlalu lama. Aku paling suka arc MC jadi yao anjing, cute banget
