Cannon Fodder Cheat System
At first, when he learned that he was forced to go to many different routine worlds and be reborn into all kinds of cannon fodder, he was against it.
Because while villains usually all only have a moment of satisfaction, the endings of cannon fodder are also frequently quite miserable.
But the man who gave him the system told him that this system not only has all types of powerful functions, but he can also break the routine lives of the cannon fodder. If he achieves this satisfactorily for each world, he can even become a god.
He’s already experienced over a thousand reincarnations, but hasn’t yet been a god. Since it sounds pretty great, why not just try it out.
From that moment on, he began the irreversible path of tyrannically oppressing people, while conveniently tearing open those white moonlights and so-called righteous people’s hypocritical masks.
His goal: wearing the villain’s role to walk other people’s righteous paths, leaving them no path to follow.

This a QT (quick transmigration) webnovel.
We have our MC who kept on reincarnating to collect energy that will enable him to get out of this cycle. With the help of a cheat system, he is able to know a lot of things in the current world.
The plot for each arc is similar. I gave 3 stars because the somewhat repetitive plot is creatively modified or tweaked for every arc.
The romance was okay-ish on the earlier arcs but the latter arcs are a bit uncomfortable for me. Though I know, our MC is really in love with the ML, I really feel like there are lots of dubcon and a few noncon here. I don't know if I'm too protective of our MC but in my book what ML did on some instances are very dubious.
The last arc was underwhelming...
This is still an ongoing translation (atm) but I can't wait, so for the last 3 arcs, I read the MTL version.😅
TW/CW: It might just be my opinion but I'm putting noncon and dubcon here.

This novel is to my taste and I'm enjoying it, but I feel like it comes with some caveats that I've thought quite hard about.
1. Is being rich and handsome and successful really that great? Does it mean others who strive for it are wrong? No and no. This book loves to focus on stories where the lucky from birth get this luck wrongfully stolen and die in regret. Maybe this could happen sometimes, but so many legitimately squander it. Don't go feeling sorry for rich people, they don't care either way, and many of them don't deserve it. I guess a more positive take away could be, rather than envying others, think of ways to pull yourself up.
2. Is public opinion king? The controlling of it? The direction of it? The golden chalice of life in these stories seem to be being able to casually conduct public opinion. The good guy can do this, but the bad guy can't. But public opinion is just public opinion. One conglomerate voice on a topic that is usually less informed and nuanced and introspective or inspective than the opinion of an informed individual. I always wondered why even democracies are lead by representatives, and I only need look at this monstrousity called "public opinion"
3. People seem pretty awful don't they? Maybe. Especially at a macro level. I think these stories' rhythmic descent into wronged death, rise to counterattack (based on the power of the system to "fix" the original), and landing at the ultimate happy ending (where everyone is returned to their proper positions) brainwashes readers into thinking the world is even more unfair and pessimistic than reality. Except for a magically enhanced superhero, no one can serve justice. But people in reality are also pretty inspiring. And I don't mean the kind of inspiring fueled by some system boosted crack. I mean the kind fuelled by real effort, or kindness, or sincerity. When someone paints for hours, so that they can create ephemeral graffiti in places people might never see, that's pretty cool. When someone who sees an accident stops and delays their day to make sure an unrelated human is OK, that's pretty cool. There's a lot of bad in the world, but there's also lots of pockets of wonder.
4. Is love at first sight really so magical? You know what love at first sight is? It's superficial love. All the loves in this story are superficial, and yes, I mean even the Mc and ml's love. It's based on some instinctive chemistry upon looking at each other and kissing. They are rarely challenged by the same downs the "evil", benefits-based couple are challenged with, and so they survive to the end. That's the only difference. That's why in the original versions of the qt story, the "evil" couple usually also had a perfect ending. What's wrong with dating others to learn more about your needs in a significant other, or to learn more about how truly compatible someone who you had no instant "love" might be for you?
5. Can quality be ranked and assessed so perfectly? I think you can rank what most people would think are "top", "middle", or "bottom", but within each category, there's tons of person - by - person variation (for most things). Most people who get first or second could easily get their rankings altered based on luck and circumstances. Things like who is judging or what their role is could affect the ranking; so if ranking is so variable, how can people's skills be quantifiable or objective?
6. Isn't the Mc so op? I almost wish he was. It's more satisfying (even if unrealistic) when a magically op Mc who has accumulated all these skills from all these lives go and show others who's boss. But it's not nearly as satisfying when an Mc who has lived all these lives and apparently not acquired anything remarkable from them starts magically increasing their skill to then go impress others. It's not the mc that's impressive, it's the magic. So he's not really the boss, the magic is. I was especially disappointed in one arc where the author got so close to letting the Mc use his own piano skills to win a competition, but the Mc still decides to artificially enhance it to ensure proper face slapping. And the ml is attracted by the skill sometimes, so is he actually attracted to the Mc or his magic?
All these caveats said, I found most of the stories entertaining. I love how strong and strong willed the Mc is. And the translator(s) were pretty good.

BEWARE of SPOILER
The story started with MC returning to Hades after nth times reincarnation. In every reincarnation, he won't have his memory but, it all came back when he return to Hades. He was tired of it all and wish to scatter his soul and disappear.
Hades inform him that he have to go on because there was someone waiting for him. Hades made a deal that the next time he reincarnate, he will have the max power and he will retain his memory.
That's how all the arcs came to be.
The first few worlds were exciting but, after a while it got boring. Even the face-slapping couldn't help it.

MC keeps transmigrating into different worlds in a cannon fodder character, meets ML and gets revenge for the original cannon fodder character's sake.
The amount of worlds is quite impressive, but the formula keeps repeating. I dislike that the MC has a system that automatically makes him better than everyone else, it's too OP, and the ML is quite dub-con and OP as well.

the biggest problem for a qt novel is if the main characters are bland, as it makes the diverse settings meaningless and boring. this happens with this book, and there is no saving it - the humor is weak and the plot gets more and more uninspired with every world.

the translation only at ch 215..so for the rest chapter read it with mtl and it's hard to understand, especially at the final arc. because the naming with mtl very crude and confusing

lots of brainless cannon fodder but each arc was strangely addicting

Pretty good but i think that the ending is incomplete
