#1. Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil (Novel Review)

This one got to me. It got to me! Where’s my soul-mate to pour me some milk! 

I started it out not knowing what to expect--truly, the thing with Chinese novel descriptions is that they’re quite head-tiltingly confusing (don’t get me wrong, they actually bring me more joy than is healthy). World jumping? A system? Different characters??? Bestiality????????? Well, I suppose this seems interesting. I haven’t read many novels with that premise (well, actually the only one that I’ve read so far is The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System, which I believe shouldn’t be compared to this because apples and oranges), so I figured, ‘hey, why not?’  

And thus began my rapid descent towards obsession and pining for a kind of mutual love that can cross the bounds of time and space. 

Ah! Where do I even begin? 

Fengliu Shudai you absolute genius. Aside from the main relationship between the shou and the gong, the writing is absolutely something to die for. Actually, maybe not the writing -- I feel like I’m not able to accurately comment on that since I read the translated version so I can’t truly grasp how Fengliu Shudai wrote it (though, I’m currently going through the Chinese and rereading it). Rather, the fact that the author wrote more than one storyline is enough to amaze me. I’ve been introduced to a whole new world, I don’t even know how to move on from this. If I recall, there’s about s i x t e e n different stories. Forget about sticking to one plot, why not raise the bar to s i x t e e n u n i q u e p l o t s. They were so beautifully crafted, each one bringing out different degrees of face-slapping, friendship, filial piety, and fromance. The different arcs, and the difference characters -- the sky! my god (or should I say my Adonis)! Even if some characters are cannon fodder (that’s the sad truth of stories my friend), each of them are so special in their own way with different motives for their actions. Author, I can barely handle one arc, and you give me all of these! What do I do if I can’t hold all of them, I’m panicking! Truth be told, there wasn’t one arc that I didn’t enjoy. The twists at the end of each kept me reading and reading, and while some truly broke me heart, others made me laugh my butt off. 

At this point, I’m buttless.

Maybe I’m too biased. But wait, what’s there to be biased over? I went into expecting nothing (once again, I admit that I simply just didn’t understand the description haha the words just went in one ear and out the other my b) but I came out wishing I could forget all of it so I could read it again. It far exceeded my expectations, and did I fall in love with the main characters? Yes. Did they fall in love with me? No, they have each other. 

I will admit, maybe the biggest drawback is that the world-building wasn’t the best, but it’s not like that’s a requirement of mine. I’m a simple human being; I like what I like, and this, I like. (Is it even a drawback then?) Sure, maybe some of the explanations of things sci-fi-y or technical or mpreg or blah blah blah are kind of simple and don’t dive too much into the depths of detailing how they work, but what’s written is enough to just enjoy the face-slapping that incurs. Besides, I feel like it’s not really the world that’s the main component of the stories, but the interactions and the subtleties between the characters. After all, each arc uses the basis of human emotion to lay itself out, and that in and of itself is enough. Do I hate humans more after reading this? With a passion! But I couldn’t ask for anything more. 

Of course, I’d like to bring up the main characters. 

Ah.

Ah.

AHHHHHH. 

Zhou Yunsheng you little bastard. Love interested you pervert. I don’t even know what to say with this, they deserve their own review. Their small exchanges, their relational development, their mutual (yet not mutual) pining for each other. It’s ironically subtle because they’re anything but subtle, and that’s what makes it amazing. This is basically just memory-loss driven roleplay, and wow am I here for it. Above all else, I have to say that what truly gets me are the little things that know about each other and continue throughout the entire novel. It’s the small things that matter, and the small things that make us fall in love. 

I repeat, where’s my soul-mate to pour me some milk! 

Overall, would I reread this? 100%, no doubt about it. It took a few chapters, but I fell in love with it. It’s not deep and heart-wrenching, but it’s enough to get you thinking and that’s the beauty of it. It’s especially fun to guess, who are we going to hate this chapter? who is the love interest going to be? is the love interest going to disappear? Hmm! Maybe having bets would be fun...

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go get my own milk.

Quickly Wear The Face Of The Devil

Hi guys.

I've read qwtfotd / fod until the last main chapter (176) that was translated by keztranslation (god bless her).

I thought it was completed and finished.

But then it doesn't get marked as completed by novelupdates plus there's a bunch of extra with confusing chapter list that being translated by a lot of different translator (god bless them).

So i'm kinda confused.

Can someone please explain it to me like, is each extra a different universe like the main story?

Which extra is completed and where can i read them? Because my brain hurts by looking the chapter list in NU.

Thanksssss.

Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil

I feel like the MC become more stupid with each world :’)… I’ve read the 9th and 10th world and in both world, it took MC so long to find his ML :’)… I guess there are reasons for it.. But still, he keeps doubting the only character that is heavenly interested in him. The 11th world is going to be a disaster. I already started it and it’s not looking good. But first, the 9th and 10th world real short.

The 9th world is about the Apocalypse. MC is a scientist that is somewhat misunderstood? The og scientist is the inventor of numerous inventions that help the people and also cure them, but he forced people to be test subjects ect. Also, some people re-born and keep their memories.. ML was a test subject who was kidnapped. Not sure if he was already kidnapped by the scientist when MC became the host of his body, but ML was in the base and was going to self-destruct. MC said no. And tried to save him. It worked, but also didn’t, and now he’s in coma while his soul lives outside of his body. Which is going to be te reason why it took MC so long to find the ML. I could explain more about this world, but I’m not going to.. I did like this one a lot tho ^^. ML became a heatpack for MC at some point. It was adorable.

The 10th world. How to explain it… MC developed a 2nd personality, because he had to pray for a god, which he did not believe in, to gain power. But the god can sense if your sincere or not. So, he hypnotized himself for 12h a day to be in love with this God. Didn’t worked out to well, it had some side effects after doing this for 2 years. The god fell in love with MC, but when the God kissed him, his 2nd personality was out and MC just ignored the sensation which should indicate him that that was his lover :’)… So how did he figure out who ML was? Well, it turns out that the ML also had a 2nd personality :’), but his other personality also changed slightly from appearance (his hair and eyes are different color). So, when that personality tried to kiss the 2nd personality of MC, he was like: Haha, no, MC you go, I don’t wanna betray my lover. And then MC felt the sensation he always feel :’). Afterwards came the confession from both the MC and ML about their 2nd personality.

So the 11th world.. It’s omegaverse. MC is an omega and ML is a guy who was MC’s fiancé, but fell in love with the protagonists of this world. Now here is the thing: The protagonist of this world, has the same name and appearance that the MC had in the last world :’). Not sure if I ever mentioned it, but our MC is never the protagonists of the different world. ML however, can. It’s different.. Sometimes canon fodder, sometimes the ML of the protagonist, sometimes an important person for the protagonist. Anyways, I believe there is also going to be a character in this world that has the same name and appearance as the ML from the previous world.. I am going to slap the MC…

Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil

Wondering if I should keep re-blogging my posts when I wanna update about it, or if I should edit it… or just make a new post…

Anyways, I just finished the 8th story and I’m still enjoying it ^^. Just gonna ignore how ML is pretty perverted in each world. But MC, figured out that ML has the same soul in each world, just not the memory.

I was right about Cao Mo Kun being the 4th world ML. Cao Mo Kun was the uncle of the protagonists and the protagonist was the bf of MC at the beginning. MC became a model in this one ^^, but the ML was really shameless. Just walking in with a boner to watching MC doing his model stuff :’)…

The 5th world was about Ger’s (males who can become pregnant). MC was a landlord and ML was a amnesiac military dude, who was saved by the worlds protagonists. I’m not to familiar with stories about Ger’s. I did start a novel once, which was about that (which I didn’t know tbh xd), but I putted it on-hold.. Maybe I’ll try it again in the future.

The 6th world was about MC becoming a singer. The body was accused of plagiarism and MC fixed that + more. ML was the CEO (Not sure if that’s the right world) of the company that decided to help MC fix his reputation.

The 7th world was about Ger’s again. and the ML was the sixth prince, which he adopted. At the start of this world, MC was a death row prisoner :’).

The 8th was about MC becoming a supermodel and the ML was everything… Super model, photographer, producer of the tv show that MC was in, cat dad… :’) I liked this one tho. It had a lot of chapters compared to the other ones. This world also had a friend for MC called Ivana. Ivana was awesome and I’m sad she probably won’t show up again. I think this is the first time a random person got mentioned so many times and was actually friendly towards the MC. Their interactions were nice to read.

It is kinda funny to read how MC is sure that the soul of ML Goes with him, but somehow, in the last two worlds MC was so unsure who ML was :’). By the way, MC can know for sure if it is ML by intimate contact. But that’s not really you wanna do to any person just to figure out :’).. There are some aspects that keeps the same with ML tho. His length is at least 190cm. the novel keeps mentioning phoenix eyes & sword like eyebrows. He smokes (which didn’t happen in the last two worlds tho). Oh and giving MC milk (that’s not a metaphor, I mean literally milk).

Time to find out what the 9th world is going to be.

Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil

Gonna be honest, not sure what I wanna talk about with this one XD. I don't know how to describe it and what my feelings are. I am kinda neutral about it?

The story is about Zhou Yun Sheng. Prior to the novel, Sheng was forced to play a villain between different kinds of worlds. But stuff happend and now he's someone who hops between different worlds, just to fck up the story that the Lord God had planned out.

In each world, he has a different name (in the first world he had his own name tho) and (spoiler) the soul of the ML is in each world the same, but there is no memory (yet?). There are small hints and coincidences in each world tho. Let me explain:

I'm currently at the start of the 4th world... Each world is a long chapter that's divided into different parts. Currently I'm at 4.3. So, I don't know to much about that one.

Anyways, World 1: Sheng was the eldest son of three and ML was a Mafia boss kinda thing(?), who started as a butler(?) at Sheng's family. (There is more behind it, but I don't wanna explain xd). But, Sheng would say that ML had to put out his sigaret. ML would do it and put his hands up in defeat. I like this world the most so far (but since there are 15(?) worlds, and I only finished 3, it may change).

World 2: Sheng is an autistic painter called Wei Xi Yan, who was adopted and lives with their son called Ning Si Nian (again, I'm not gonna explain to much). There is a part where Sheng said that he had to put out his sigaret, cuz he didn't like the smoke. ML listened and did the same thing as ML from world 1, both were shocked from this little interaction.

World 3: Sheng is the brother of the concubine of the 7th prince. Sheng is called Shen Yi Bin and the ML is the crown prince. A bit later in the story and they introduce themselves with their courtesy name. ML says that Shen can call him Si Nian and MC took Yun Sheng as his courtesy name, which ML reacts with: "That sounds familiar.."

Can't say what's gonna happen in World 4.... MC and ML haven't met each other yet ^^, but MC is called Lin Cheng Ze and I believe the ML is going to be Cao Mo Kun?
