Book #1: I Really Am a Slag Shou! Book Review

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

"I Really Am a Slag Shou!" by 你的荣光

Rating: ★★★★☆

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

Spoiler-Free Review:

I was satisfied by the ending, the main couple, and even the side couple, but it didn’t give me as much excitement as I wished it did. There are some features and moments that are weird, and the book didn’t make me feel hollow when I finished it—like how my 5 star-rated books do.

If you are looking for more romance than serious world-buildt fantasy and love having many different couple tropes, than I recommend it!

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

Full Review + My Extended Thoughts:

This part of the review is NOT spoiler free.

"I Really Am a Slag Shou" is about a 20-year-old boy named Chi Zhao, who was killed by a falling flower pot (when I found that out, I admit I did laugh). He was then given a chance to resurrect himself by the Slag Shou System, who told him that if he filled in the role as a "slag shou" (the "bottom" in a gay relationship that is a "slag" or someone who is not a good partner/person) and successfully earned 100 points from a collection of fictional worlds, Chi Zhao would be revived and sent home. Chi Zhao agrees, but he realizes that every protagonist seems to be quite odd.

After reading this, I have to say that Chi Zhao and the ML, Fu Yihe are made for each other. They are both equally crazy for one another, so much so that they would rather hurt themselves or others in order to save the other. Also, they've been together for hundreds of years and have even raised a kid. Truly a cute couple.

I loved the system. He was annoying but also so cute. In one of the extras, we are given a hint of a love triangle between him, the main system, and a rice cooker (No, I am not joking). I kind of wish the system had his own book!

There were some parts that were weird/taboo, which irked me a bit. I'd prefer not to get into it, but it includes weird power dynamics in a few of the fictional worlds.

There was no smut. I personally don't care about that fact, but some of you might do so I included it here.

I liked the end, and I believe it tied off the book quite well. In all of the fictional worlds, Chi Zhao and Fu Fihe end up together, and they all have happy endings. The first world's ending could be debated since Chi Zhao committed suicide when Fu Fihe died of old age.

All in all, it's not a completely serious novel, so if you enjoy more romance than intense lore and world-building in a quick transmigration novel, than I would recommend this novel to you!

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

Remember that this review is my personal opinion, and if you would rate this book higher or lower than I did, it is valid!

A man who didn't have friends.

He lived only when he read the book.

I am not saying here's a link to a free online version of the 1984 graphic novel but if it was there you should probably go read it.

Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

I did write the summary on the wiki lol - happy to see that people use it! On a separate topic, and if you're interested, I remembered another bonus story released for Jump Victory Carnival 2021 about Luffy and Law bug hunting for beetles (imgur /a/Txt6ayl). It hasn't been included in any of the volumes (like the rest of the JVC stories)

Book #1: I Really Am a Slag Shou!

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

I finished “I Really Am a Slag Shou!” by 你的荣光!

This book contains 181 chapters + 2 extras split into 8 arcs, taking a total of 3 days for me to finish.

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

Rating: ★★★★☆

I was satisfied by the ending, the main couple, and even the side couple, but it didn’t give me as much excitement as I wished it did. There are some features and moments that are weird, and the book didn’t make me feel hollow when I finished it—like how my 5 star-rated books do.

My extended thoughts + review including spoilers will be posted later today!

”I Really Am a Slag Shou!” by 你的荣光!

Description:

Chi Zhao binds with the slag shou system, and if he succeeds in his missions, he will be rewarded.

But who said life is easy!

A rich old man who was slagged by him: “I know you love me. Your past pains, I’ve already investigated them.”

The star admiral who had been slagged by him: “Don’t be reluctant anymore! I’ve always known that you didn’t betray me.”

The entertainment mogul who was slagged by him: “Don’t make any noise. Honey, will you come home with me?”

The prince regent who was slagged by him said, “The mountains and rivers are yours, but you are mine.”

The dark sentinel who was slagged by him: “Now, do you still want to say that it is not my child?”

…

Chi Zhao burst into tears: “Boss, believe me just this once. Let me get the reward, okay?”

Thinking that the acting is very good, in fact, every day he’s spreading meng.
