The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else

Lu Shijin transmigrated into a strange world and was bound to a ‘Devoted Side Male Lead’ system. The system required him to wholeheartedly play the role of a side male lead, to selflessly dedicate himself to the main character and to advance the plot development. He would only be able to return to the real world when the audience’s enjoyment exceeds 100%. Lu Shijin, who had accumulated enough pent-up frustration in real life, sneered. What real world? Isn’t it better to be a flirtatious bit*h who only lives for himself? So, Lu Shijin— – Helped his villain uncle and the s*um fight for family property in a dog-blood story. – Became both the villain and the white moonlight in an interstellar science fiction story. – Spent every day being gay with the idol in an inspirational idol drama story. – Caused the king of the mermaids to come ashore to pursue him in a science fiction fairy tale. – Became the ‘cannon fodder’ and counterattacked in a modern workplace story. – Stole the honoured consort from the emperor who already had an entire harem in a palace scheming story. – Created a two-way redemption for the devoted side male lead and school tyrant in a modern love story. – Was coveted as a furnace by the elder of the emotionless path in a cruel xianxia story. – Became a bride to give luck to a vegetative person in a modern business story. – Relied on papapa to save the world in a suspenseful adventure story. …… Lu Shijin threw away his holy saint halo and went straight to being OOC. He hadn’t expected that the audience would like his persona breaking that much. The audience watched as the plot broke free like a wild horse and became all over the place, their smiles gradually becoming twisted: This plot is great! I love it! Our Jinjin is still young, so you have to discipline him properly!

## My Thoughts on *The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else* ### First Impressions Alright, let's dive into *The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else*. Going in, I was intrigued by the premise. The quick transmigration genre always has a certain appeal, promising a variety of worlds and scenarios. I was also drawn to the tags – comedy, romance, and even a touch of sci-fi and xianxia? It sounded like a wild ride! ### What Works Well I have to admit, the variety of worlds is a strong point. Each arc felt distinct, offering a fresh storyline with different goals for the MC. I found the concept of the ML having a different system in each arc rather cool, forcing the MC to adapt and figure things out. I also liked how the MC was able to put a leash on the system, it was quite amusing. ### Areas of Concern However, I did find some aspects of the novel problematic. The relationship between the MC and ML often felt toxic, with instances of dubcon and non-con that made me uncomfortable. I also felt that the romance was not well executed. It was hard to see how the MC and ML fell in love with each other. The ending felt a bit flat, and some plot twists seemed to come out of nowhere. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some reviewers pointed out specific instances that raised red flags. For example, in one arc, the ML humiliates the MC in front of the "Scum," supposedly to prove the Scum's lack of affection. Another arc features a highly convenient weapon appearing when the MC is imprisoned. And the live-streaming function within the story sometimes felt confusing and underdeveloped. I have to agree. ### Final Verdict Overall, *The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else* is an average novel. While it has moments of fun and the variety of arcs keeps things interesting, the problematic relationship dynamics and plot holes hold it back. If you're looking for a light read with some extreme kinks, this might be up your alley. However, if you prefer healthy relationships and tightly woven plots, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it a 3/5.
