SVSSS Liveblog Volume 1 Chapter 1

Before I start: this cover art is so pretty I love it

Is this whole opening a PSA on not abusing children or they’ll become Stallion Protagonists?

… Yes yes it is apparently

‘“Dumbfuck author Dumbfuck book” With his dying breath Shen Yuan spat this final curse’ Local man hated so hard he died

Bro why are you shocked the web novel writing by Mr. Masturbation was filled with smut and not very well written? You didn’t half to start it. You could’ve simply not been a hater. You could’ve simply touched grass.

Actually I think it makes sense that people still need to eat and sleep. Have you considered that sleep is nice and eating good food is good? Maybe the body still wants food even if it can’t eat it? Also what if your cultivation fails and you haven’t been eating or sleeping? Do you just suddenly die of starvation? Ever think of that Shen Yuan?

Once again your reading a web novel by Mr. Masturbation why are you surprised it’s bad?

The System immediately had enough of his hater vibe and told him to stfu

More pretty art let’s goooooooo

RIP my hater king you are the titular Scum Villain I mean it’s in the title to be fair

“Second: from now on, cling madly to the male lead’s thighs” The closet is made of glass

This man just got told he’s required to be a child abuser until he can unlock not having to act like an asshole 24/7 mode

And the last this that dude did was torture the protagonist oof

He is pretty that is your only saving grace until you unlock no more child abuse to your future murderer mode dude embrace that bit at least

“He still couldn’t compare to Luo Binghe” Once again the closet is made of glass

Even the system thinks the plot is shit

Even more pretty art!!!!

Smart way to give Binghe the medicine ngl

Man is already like “I’m fucked” and honestly fair

“It’s not like I don’t want to cling the the male lead’s thighs” the closet is open at this point

I too would just want to flee in disgrace

Local man just watching children bully other children because if he doesn’t join in on bullying said child he’ll literally die despite not wanting to be a child abuser

And he intervened valid and fair but he is fucking himself over but +10 morals for ever ten points he lost

‘Let me just grab the protagonist’s prized possession real quick’ -Shen Qingqiu

I mean fair enough get those points back

Man is on his way to unlocking not being a child abuser lets gooooo

Local man is hot, he’s being forced to be a horrible asshole by Google Translate God but he is hot

Fun Fact: If a torturer is particularly skilled a person won’t die of blood loss when being flayed hypothermia would usually be what did them in that case not relevant at all but idc

Love him outsmarting the system take that you Google Translate ass

This man sound so hot despite being shitty why is everyone saying he’s not? Look at the cover art!! That’s a hot man

LOOK AT THE GOOD ART HE LOOKS HOT!!!!

Local man banned from smiling rip

Chapter 65-66

BCFUCDTHDTH poor snake boi LBH thinks he’s sleeping with SQQ and he’s gonna be killed

“No need to explain, I understand,” NO YOU DONT TLJ

I love it how snake boi is also hiding LBH

Not TLJ SITTING DOWN-

My snake boi was going to let LBH go unnoticed I’m gonna cry my baby boy-

“So just now… in there… were three of you?” NOT YOU TO

Poor snake boi caught between his lord and his friend not understanding why everyone can't just get along

My snake boi like “after I noticed he wasn’t LBH I killed him on the way out” like he’s talking about closing the door or grabbing his keys. He so silly. My little war criminal

“I just want to treat the people who’ve helped me well” my heart! This boy needs a good master who can teach him morals and social skills! His heart is in the right place but all his hands know are blood!

OMG HE SWITCHING SIDES LETS GOOOOOO

I swear ima write an essay on this snake boi he so interesting. A wonderful parallel to LBH and what happens when loyalty goes unchallenged.

Love the implications of TJL reading the fantasy ancient Chinese equivalent to BL manga

Also love my snake boi giving up on convincing his lord that he didn’t have a threesome with SQQ and LBH

LQH and LBH beefing while SQQ is just like 🧍‍♂️

Poor LQH went on a wild goose chase to find SQQ

[touchlikethesun]

SHEN YUAN WHEN I CATCH YOU WHEN I CATCH YOU SHEN YUAN HE LITERALLY WENT “dtf..? haha jk… unless…” THIS MAN IS SO FUNNY BUT HES A MENACE

[alcoholicweiwuxian]

if theres one thing a character needs its to have a jade pendant left to him by his mother get tossed off somewhere

[cyndaquillt]

Bingyuan and Changgu parallels are endless but the really interesting one to me is that SQQ knew what was going to happen to Binghe. That Binghe would turn into a violent madman who ends up spelling doom for him. But in Changgu's case, it's Chang Geng who knows about the curse while Gu Yun mostly believes that Chang Geng is gonna turn out to be the benevolent, compassionate man the Emperor was.

Luo Binghe didn't know the dark future that awaited him but SQQ did. Chang Geng has a premonition while Gu Yun has no idea

[the-official-account]

(at the start of book 2 chapter 11) actually Luo binghe has never don't anything wrong in his life

[princess-of-purple-prose]

SVSSS Liveblog Volume 1 Chapter 4

Honestly getting into a novel you hate because the monsters are cool is valid as hell

Him not eating when Binghe is gone is such a bad sign, he’s not gonna eat after he pushes Binghe into the abyss is he?

“I don’t want to throw him into the Abyss but I also don’t want to die” is good motivation

I know Binghe was twirling his hair thinking about the conference like “I’m going to win the whole thing and Shizun will see how strong I am”

Pretty art!!! Also blatantly pinning Binghe!!!

Shen Qingqiu, internally: right for his future harem Binghe: Looking at him like that

In my heart Binghe has a little diary where he writes Shen Qingqiu’s name surrounded by hearts and plans their wedding and combines their last names and stuff

Them flying on their swords is really cool

“Your spoiled what’s next snacks” “That’s a great idea Binghe do you have any snacks”

He is spoiled and pampered tho <3 he’s got that Princess privilege as the rightful sole future love interest, the protagonist’s most favorite and specialist guy

“Don’t thirst after my disciple” He is gay if that helps

“Of course they don’t want me watching how could I forget” meanwhile Binghe is jealous as hell

This Palace Master is going to come back later isn’t he

Not him bemoaning that fact that Luo Binghe is being kind when it prevents him from showing off

Not the foot fetish material!

He doesn’t care about looking at them in the water because he’s only got eyes for you dude!! You’re the love interest now they’re just randos! You got promoted and they got demoted

Why is “now the threesome scene can’t happen in the future” your reaction to children dying?

Only Luo Binghe can’t be killed, I get thinking “They’ll probably be fine” but that’s been stated a couple of times. Luo Binghe is safe the rest of y’all should learn to protect yourselves tho

Maybe now isn’t the time to mention it but I had a platonic crush on the girl from The Ring as a child

Local man understandably not ready to see teens murdered by monsters

“You can’t go there’s a chance your powers will stop working and you’ll be murdered” “well I’ll for sure die if I don’t do anything so I’m going”

Heads growing spider legs is actual nightmare fuel

Binghe just wants to heal him :((

The Abyss is open

Also PRETTY ART!!! And a new hot man!!

… And Shang Qinghua I guess

Listen I’m far more interested in the new beautiful man who just showed up then the traitor peak lord

He’s supposed to be evil Binghe’s right hand… I mean pretty privilege is a thing and if anyone deserves it…

Listen I’m aroace not blind

Shhh let him show up early ya know for the “plot”

His sword broke :( I know he’s supposed to get a new cooler one but the swords here are cool

“Aw shit I wasn’t demon racist and now it’s biting me in the ass”

Also this hurts

:((((( BINGHE!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO

I can’t even fully appreciated the art because I’m pain

How it started:

How it’s Going:

Not everyone thinking he’s dead ;-;

I’m gonna take a minute no one talk to me

Him forgetting Binghe is gone ;—;

And he’s unwilling to admit how much he missed him sir your repression is showing

HIM MOURNING BINGHE’S INNOCENCE AND YOUTH I’M GONNA CRY-

Heart break points ;-;

This motherfucker’s the author, Shen Qingqiu kill

I hope Mr. Masturbation fucking dies I’m so upset

Shen Qingqiu kill this man and my life is yours

Chapter 64

OMG THE SONGS COME BACK TO HAUNT SQQ

My poor snake boi constantly has to be like “please don’t make fun of me”

LBH NEEDS to stop assaulting SQQ. “I can’t control myself around you-“ yes you can. Stop smooching without consent.

Not LBH hiding under the covers-

My poor snake boy is just trying to keep SQQ alive and SQQ slapped him and his coals away

Not snake boi code switching around other demons- I mean I knew he was a general but I didn’t know he was a general

LBH is really mad at my boy for *checks notes* pressing hot coals to SQQ’s chest to remove deadly parasites

[touchlikethesun]

i love that when we read from shen yuan’s pov, he seems so concerned with not being too OOC - hiding his reactions to things, responding how he thinks sqq ought too, etc. - and because we’re reading from his pov, and none of the characters ever confront him, we the reader just assume that he must have done an okay job making the transition.

and then we get to airplane’s extra chapters and it turns out the peak leaders called an emergency secret meaning because there’s no way sqq would ever behave like that he must be possessed or an amnesiac like boy you did such a bad job you did not fool a single gd person that knew the old sqq. they just hated the old guy so much they decided to let it be 😭

[unforth]

I want an SVSSS/QQGK crossover where The System in each is the same system.

(You Huo: *smiles uwu*; The System: OOC. OOC. OOC. Antagonist Satisfaction Level: +100)

(The System: you have scored 2 points. Average for this exam is 12 points. Your current grade is D.; Shen Qingqiu: HAVE YOU MADE UP A.N.O.T.H.E.R. NEW TYPE OF POINT YOU DUMB-FUCK SYSTEM? WTF IS THIS ONE?)

[incognito-lionbeast]

More Shen Jiu Returns AU chatter -- well, I say “chatter” but sorta midway through it started morphing into a fic. So, I stopped myself before my Compulsive Tendencies™ forced me to write out the entire encounter. >>;;

(which wouldn’t be a bad thing, per se, but that’s more work than I want to put in at this time. So, more thoughts in another post later to curb that temptation.)

------------

Those first several days at Cang Qiong mountain were the most horribly awkward thing, discussing the logistics of his return & acceptance into the sect. Waiting. Of course Yue Qingyuan had no issue accepting “Shen Yue” as a disciple – as one of his disciples, actually. Shen Jiu insisted. He refused to be placed Second again, desiring above all else the opportunity to claim the title of Sect Leader one day.

And besides that– what other peak suited him better? Qing Jing was out of the question. Even if “Shen Qingqiu” was only infrequently available... just the thought was insulting. Either way, it wasn’t as if he really needed Yue Qingyuan’s guidance as a master, anyway. This was merely formality; though Shen Jiu still fully intended to earn his place properly, warning Yue Qingyuan against favouritism. Though true in some ways he had an unfair advantage compared to other disciples, this body still hadn’t developed the spiritual nor martial prowess his old one had. Not to mention the merit that came with diligent work. This version of himself hadn’t any real achievements or glory to his name.

With that, then came the question of what to do about Shen Qingqiu – the imposter. Rather coincidentally, Shen Qingqiu and his favourite disciple were scheduled to visit Cang Qiong mountain in roughly a week’s time from when Shen Jiu first arrived. Suppose then it could be settled. For better or worse.

Of the other peak lords, Liu Qingge was the only one formally invited by Yue Qingyuan to what he hoped wouldn’t be a complete disaster. After all, Liu-shidi and the current “Shen Qingqiu” were close, and though Shen Jiu’s opinion of—and former relationship with—the Bai Zhan peak lord was rocky, to say the least… Shen Jiu agreed that it would ultimately be less troublesome for him to know now (and privately he was rather curious about Liu Qingge’s reaction).

Frankly, Liu Qingge was the only one they could both agree on, as Shen Jiu was still adamant about his identity being kept private. Perhaps in the future… Yet, allowing too many to know, Shen Jiu thought, would defeat the purpose of starting over. Trust was at a premium, and inwardly he assumed that they’d all still mostly dislike him, anyway. Why make things harder?

On the other hand, no one could properly decide if Shang Qinghua had invited himself or if Shen Qingqiu had dragged him along by force. Yet, so it was, and the full cast was assembled: Yue Qingyuan, Shen Jiu, Liu Qingge, Shang Qinghua, Shen [Yuan] Qingqiu, and Luo Binghe.

It took all Shen Jiu had to contain the revulsion he felt upon seeing Luo Binghe again, even without the added reminder of he and Shen Qingqiu’s relationship – marriage, he’d been told. So, the young man, who was outwardly a stranger to all but Yue Qingyuan, kept his gaze fixed nearly anywhere else but directly at Luo Binghe. Though, he was also ardently aware of how everyone’s glances kept passing over him. He was the only one who didn’t fit into the crowd, and yet Yue Qingyuan sat close beside him like an old friend. No one else quite knew why they were there, only that it was important. Ostensibly.

Yet, Shen Qingqiu and Shang Qinghua exchanged surreptitious glances with one another as everyone settled and Yue Qingyuan began to speak, greeting them.

—Yue Qingyuan was immediately cut off.

Better to rip the bandage off straight away than sit through awkward pleasantries for who knew how long. Shen Jiu’s expression curled in such a way that made Luo Binghe’s darken and Liu Qingge pause. Shen Qingqiu snapped his fan open leisurely, forced to keep a neutral face as this impossibly familiar stranger stared right through him. Shen Jiu asserted, tone perfectly even despite its accusatory nature: “It seems you’ve acclimated well. I must congratulate you – imposter.”

Among them, the reactions were…

Polite worry, still hopeful and begging for explanation, from Yue Qingyuan. Secondly, furrowed brows, a frown, and confusion from Liu Qingge. From Shang Qinghua, a knowing smirk just barely stifled by the fist he pillowed his cheek on, watching cheshirely. Finally, from Luo Binghe, an arm wrapped firmly around Shen Qingqiu, protectively glowering at the source of that unsettling accusation. Though, ultimately, none of them were as surprised as they should have been — not about the man they’d all come to know some twelve years ago, anyway. Shen Jiu was more of an anomaly than Shen Qingqiu.

As for the imposter, himself?

Well, was there any option other than to own it? Firstly, he gently rap-tapped Luo Binghe with his fan before fluttering it back open and fanning himself placidly. Despite the panic gripping his chest, inciting a few choice curses internally and quickening his pulse, there was some part of him that was relieved, too. So, Shen Qingqiu answered courteously, “Your words are flattering, but I assure you I haven’t...”

“Shen Qingqiu, I presume?” A breath, shoulders rising and falling dramatically as he struggled with his usual fraudulent composure. Yet, as Shen Yuan continued—and rather despite himself—a soft, genuine smile crept across his features. It startled Shen Jiu, though he wouldn’t show it. “If it means anything, I’m glad to hear that you’re alive.”

And he was.

okay so!

i'm trying to keep in mind that adapting a story doesn't mean including every dynamic and plot point

but regarding my mr queen au, one thing i'm considering is the age difference, because while bong hwan is already an established chef (though smugly young etc) and meets jongie more or less as equals, royalty status be damned...

shen yuan is barely out of his teens!!!! in svsss, he immediately jumps into the mentor role (and that's a whole other fascinating topic to me, are you really so chill with ditching your old life, or are you [redacted] hmmm) and really takes care of his disciples despite liking to "laze around"

but since he's so young (~20 maybe), i would love to lean into binghe taking care of him actually 🤔 i'm still not locked on lbh's age, but deffo a little older than sy. (i'm picturing him as bingge who's pretending to be bingmei-like, but of course he can't actually avoid getting hit by the wife beam lol)
