The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel) Vol. 3

Mordris

Best Story EVER!!!

"OMG!! What an ending! I waited all year to finish this series in English, hunted online for translations but they're never quite as clear, and now that I finally got to read the complete story I am in awe! (Except for the book of extras which I've already pre-ordered and is coming out this Fall). I love the characters SQQ and LBH and their many misunderstandings. I've read many crossover books where real live people ended up in books, fantasy places, games, etc. but never the way this author took us through the journey. Through Shen Yuan's point of view as he becomes the Scum Villain Shen Qingqiu, we get the hilarious rundown of his dissing the author of the lame book he's stuck in, there are arguments with the System which sent him into this world and requires he obey certain rules which he's set on finding ways around despite everything, and then there are the multitude of misunderstandings between him and the protagonist, Lou Binghe, who he's pretty sure according to the original book will "make him into a human stick." What he doesn't understand is that the very fact that he is in the book has subtly altered its direction and his influence on all the characters becomes more and more evident as you continue to read until what you thought was inevitable gets thrown out the window in a major reveal and Shen has to back up and start thinking in a completely new direction that never in his wildest dreams would've occurred to him. This series is hilarious, heart warming, sad, redeeming and shocking at the end, yet it is quite satisfying. Warning to those who don't like gay men... don't read this since there is one explicit scene. That's why it's rated 17+. However, for those who enjoy danmei and know what it is, this is a lighthearted delightful read well worth picking up, as are all Mo Xiang Tong Siu's books. I've started collecting all the English versions of her books; Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, Heaven Official's Blessing AND Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, and can't wait for the rest of the English versions to come out so I can complete my set!! Great author, good books!! ["

exquisite

"I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more. ridiculously amusing with a touch of serious thoughtfulness at just the right moments. This is a series that can laugh at itself while inviting you to laugh with it, and still be a moving enough story to have me looking up fan fiction before I’m even done reading. Love these characters. From the MC’s loyal deciples, to his brother-like peers, to the poor snake man with his misguided self-proclaimed life debts, and of course the obsessed disciple turned love interest - this story is Perfect for those who just want to read about unashamed love and loyalty to the point of idiocy. 10/10 will read again ["

Unexpected but enjoyable ending

"Suddenly it had ended. A great book, when I finished reading it I was kind of stupefied bc I couldn't believe it had ended. I really enjoyed the series, it had stressful, exciting, embarrassing and cool moments that really go along well with everything that happens on all the series. I like how it was everything solved, but I don't want to spoil anything. If you have already read the other books, not reading the end would be such a loss honestly. (Basically, u should buy this) (And of course, I'll definitely buy the extras volume (vol 4) and if you really love this story, u should too) ["
