*mtl'd title which I did not even bothered to change
%20(1).png)
Summary: Shi Sheng is bound to the system to play a supporting role. She has a mission, but she can't touch male of female protagonists of the story, she can only move things behind the scenes. But the system doesn't know where the host actually came from. He believed Shi Sheng was an author who liked to write books, dig holes in her own stories but not fill them. But then they travelled the worlds and she started taking out things out of thin air and the system never provided her with those, so where sis they come from?
Along the way she has a mission and a hidden mission and hidden mission is connected to a person who seems to be the same person.
This should be world hopping, 1vs1 (ML is one person).
What attracted me at first was the fact that she took out things that did not belong to the plane to deal with the plot. So I started reading it. After two arcs it was obvious that the novel is trashy AF, but was at least trashy and entertaining a tiny bit. Maybe Shi Sheng's ruthless character was entertaining etc. But it all went downhill from then on.
Let's start from Shi Sheng as FMC. She has no redeeming qualities to like her. Although she should be high quality when it comes to strength, but in general I had the feeling like she was simply lazy and indifferent. She is highly indifferent, always repeats a phrase "Why should I help you?", this phrase appears so often that become annoying or why should she do this or that if it doesn't bring her anything. And I don't mean the situations where someone is morally kidnapping her, she is basically like this all the time. Simply egoistic. Although this part is strange, sometimes she can treat others well, mainly some cute girls that find her appealing and cool, sometimes it feels like she doesn't touch a certain category of people like women and children, but from another point it isn't that true? (like one time especially she could watch coldy like an innocent girl lost her life in the hands of some scumbags in front of her and she never helped her even if it was easy for her, maybe just because she was connected to protagonist group I have no idea, this novel does not explain shit). And the thing is, the summary promised some changes, to me she doesn't change at all. I read almost 500 chapters of this (the novel is 2k chapters total) and basically the soup tastes the same. She arrives at the plane, knows the plotline. Because she can't do anything to the protagonist group, while she wants to chop them she basically doesn't involve actively if protagonists don't touch her, or she uses other characters to pit protagonists if they touched her reverse scale. She basically does nothing, has no aspirations except destruction maybe.
Then several arcs in she meets Feng Ci in an immortal cultivators article. This is the first time she accepted the advances of the hidden mission man and they lived for a long time, she had no idea it's the same man. Because his significance was the most ML got stuck with the name Feng Ci to identify him in consequent arcs.
But honestly the ML basically falls in love with her rather quickly in all consequent arcs, as if his soul remembers her, she has to confirm it's him though at first, later this step is skipped. But generally they kinda stick together in a shallow way. What did they like about each other, who knows.
The plots are shallow and not very exciting and simply reetitive. And the summary can be said to be bs, because the promised taking out some bigger props not belonging to the plane does not happen. She mostly takes out unimaginable amount of thunder balls she collected in the 3rd arc when the Heaven's will was punishing her. Or she takes out just the cultivation stuff. There are no quirks to follow, no unexpected tricks, but author acts as if they did something great. Although the system always gets involved because she can't touch protagonists I thought it was a nice idea to see how she could deal with them in a roundabout way. But honestly it's just all convenient and choppily described and she doesn't do that much. From another angle at some point her own situation could be explained as "I have a hidden plot about me", but it honestly isn't that great either, since it is so shallow and author does not bother to explain anything. Like there is a secret about her identity, but then she acts like she knows nothing and at the end she says like she knew those things all along. As if her high IQ allows her to guess everything.
Quick note about the protags and how she can't touch them. Basically, I think this is the biggest loophole. Or just omitted when it's convenient. In general she literally cannot touch them/kill them. She can beat them up, but when it comes to killing she can't do it. The plane will also collapse if she does that. That's another weird point, she will be punished with her points deducted, the system promised if you reach a certain level you will be wiped out, of course Shi Sheng acted like she wanted and she reached that point, but the resut is nothing happened. Also despite her actions she always has her points deducted as if she always makes things worse, it's not like in all arcs she brought chaos and destruction.
Btw her identity. Half the time I forget that Shi Sheng is an "author", tbh I have no idea why she writes in some of those arcs as a hobby, and it's just mentioned in the passing like in one sentence as if author herself only now remembered the setting of her own FMC and decided to remind everyone as well. But honestly it doesn't add anything to FMC or the story. It's such a random thing. basically when she analyzes the plot and how it works she relies on her experience.
But the Plot is acting in the direction of bringing FP and MP together, but really... again author never explains why they come together, it just happened behind the scenes and FMC comments - Plot is at work, while that connection is illogical. At other times FP and MP do not come together, so it's all a matter of convenience tbh.
I also wonder myself why I read this far. Because I spent several days on it. These days I keep a planner to track what I read and what I watch and sometimes put short summaries since my memory may fail me. So I actually started this on 18th, which surprised me as well. But my only drive was to see if there will be any changes, but no, 1/4 of the novel and it's still same old routine like an outline with whatever comes to mind and not appealing FMC.
And my problem is, I like hardcore characters, I like the tougher ones, but they still need to be logically tough and not plainly cruel. And FMC is plainly cruel tbh.
Arc 1. Shi Sheng is a fiance of male protag who is in love with white lotus girl. Whenever something happens they think it's Shi Sheng, which is annoying af. Here comes the scene where I was surprised about how Shi Sheng suddenly has weapons. It turned out she has her own space bound to her soul. Girl full of mystery and we know nothing about her. Since female protag (FP) wanted to depend on the wealthy male protag (MP) she stayd with him although was ambiguous with others. Shi Sheng dug a pit for MP by supporting others in the heir fight. Also his behavior with FP brought him a lot of negative points. ML is a guy who asked her to earn at least 1/10th of his own wealth. Sheng was asked to pursue him but she had no feelings about him and she was basically forced into this.
Arc 2. Entertainment article. Sheng was used by a big boss as a shield, while he loved FP. Sheng opened a company with FP and they became bosses, while she also appeared here and there. Well, it showed that not all protagonists are unsavable. Some had normal IQ. Sheng's mission was obviously about revenge on ppl who used her in previous life, MP and his fiancee. So there were a lot of news flying around when Sheng dug out a lot of dirt on them. After all her hacking skills that appeared out of nowhere are unparalleled.
Arc 3. This is where Feng Ci appeared. In this arc FP is a reborn person with high cultivation and looks down on everyone. But she framed Sheng several times and everyone believed her (power of halo). While one disruption from FMC made FP bind a demon who was actually behind all the incidents. And another instance where FP killed a girl and MP became suspicious of her and thus they were not on good terms afterwards. Anyway this is why FP was dealt with in the end. Sheng and Feng Ci lived a long time while she was wrecking havoc around cultivation world. She creates so much chaos and destroys people indiscriminately all the time. Not good quality.
Arc 4. Is a zombie apocalypse, here we start having a secret plotline. Which involves FMC's identity. Sheng plays a heroine whose golden finger was stolen by a traverser girl. Sheng's power was changed, she also met her hidden mission who was a zombie king, but actually like a patient 0 of this story. In the end FMC created a new era of zombie kingdom where zombies evolved and became new species.
Arc 5. Campus story. FMC playes adopted daughter. Her nominal brother actually likes her but he uses childish means to push her away. Like he treats the maid at home well (FP) and eventually dates her, as if trying to get a reaction out of FMC. But since Sheng is here he won't get anything. Sheng did only one thing, she somehow made FP's father win the lottery and they became wealthier. Now FP showed off her wealth and her relationship everywhere. But she was still not accepted by upper class kids of their school. She also used despicable means when it came to few disagreements with other girls. I don't remember if it's this one or probably another arc where MP woke up, dated a girl who stood by his side (not FP) despite opposition of others and they actually were happy, while FP ended badly after the break-up. ML in this one acted like ancestor pissing FMC off.
Arc 6. Was online gaming arc, which is always empty to me, I almost hate it. Author is bad at it, why she bothered to write. FMC just spent most of her time online like others and had a gaming character that was like a legend, hated by everyone. They also hacked the game and had bugs all over the place.
Arc 7. Another martial arts world. FP here is an ex assassin. While Sheng plays as a girl from a famous sect. Forgettable. Like I remember that Sheng left the school and her own family because she didn't want to bother with anyone. ML was a sickly beauty who was cursed and she searched for cure all over. But they had BE.
Arc 8. Paranormal. Another arc where Sheng helped FP and FP actually became a disciple of ML. FP in this one has a spirit body and MP is a ghost king who uses her for cultivation. In OG story they might have fallen, but FP was blindsided. Now she knows the truth and sticks to ghost sister Sheng. Honestly why this story bothers to release some hidden tasks while FMC never bothers to do them seriously.
Arc 9. Messy cultivation (?) story. ML is not present. Sheng is someone from god realm who need to pass tribulation, but her red thread was messed by FP who got drunk and made mistake by connecting several lines to MP. FP came to earth to make things better but Sheng prevented her from doing it, basically tied FP and MP together from the beginning, but because of entangled threads MP will be attracted to the girls he is connected with. He failed to pass. Sheng succeeded. She became a supreme god and did not bother with others. MP lost his memory and had no idea why he failed because of FP. Villai is not ML but someone else. Sheng accidentally led mosnters from another realm who started to dominate it. When she came back she realized that her thread was maliciously conncted again by FP who played "I didn't mean to" card. But she was protected by several people. The backstory is messy, as if FMC's father also had affair with FP's father and they should be half-sisters? Anyway those who protected FP were connected to her mother, the holder of red threads and this is how FP got FMC's. Anyway FP died in the hands of monsters, while FMC tried to severe the red thread but couldn't? I think she ended this world because she had not found ML and did not bother with the rest.
I reached arc 16? Anyway I finished at ch491. And I can't be bothered with this story anymore. It's same old every time.
I'm amazed I reached this far, but actually at some point I was skipping a lot and reading diagonally, since the premises are same and FMC is the same and it's just a pile of bs. In the end the FMC's cool overlord attitude got boring, it lasted at least longer than the boring plots. But actually here and there things appeared that made both FMC and ML worse and worse. Like some dropped phrases that should be a joke, but are not funny. I won't repeat them.
I just wanted to RANT ahaha
