[Review of volumes 1–3] Basically, this is the AO3 tag "Crack treated seriously." Shen Qingqiu is such a hilarious narrator who develops along with the story he transmigrated into as his actions trigger changes in the characters and world around him. The characters become more sympathetic and complex as SQQ gives them the opportunity to break free from their archetypes. Luo Binghe changes, most of all, from a toxically masculine male harem protagonist into a lovesick fool who yearns for his shizun. Everything is wrapped up in SQQ's hilariously scathing and meta commentary on web fiction tropes to make this a super fun and engaging read. Very excited to get to the extras!

I didn't love the two main characters of this. They aren't on screen together almost ever and when they are they don't really like each other. There is a lot going on to cause it but it just feels like mislead obsession and a master who gives up holding the line and is worn down into having a relationship. It also just has a lot of forced physical stuff. Idk this one wasn't for me.
