When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time

Gu Jinmian both loved and hated the great god author He Bujin. There would always be a male supporting character that poked his heart in his works, but the author always ab*sed his favorite male supporting character for the sake of his protagonist. In the latest update, Eldest Young Master Gu spent millions trying to make the author treat his favorite character better. However, the author wrote the male supporting character dead. Later, Gu Jinmian unexpectedly transmigrated into the book with darkened eyes and became a powerful man. Since forcing the dog author to be good to his favorite character didn’t work out, then he’ll do it himself. However, there seems to be something wrong with this beautiful man that never gives in to his fate. He handed in the resources himself, yet the male supporting character didn’t even lift his eyelids. He looked like he’d rather rot in a corner and be a salted fish. He robbed the main character’s resources for him, yet the male “salted fish” supporting character returned it to the protagonist, and was even hurt and bitten by the protagonist in the process. Gu Jinmian was shocked and heartbroken. This must be because of the dog author He Bujin, he shouted: “Curse you He Bujin!!” The male supporting character lifted his eyelids, “Who are you scolding?” “It’s because of that He Bujin! It’s this dog that has caused you so much misery. I will definitely put him in a sack!” The male supporting character showed a sullen smile, eyes bright and dark, “Oh?” ****** He Bujin spent all his life being miserable, gloomy and violent. After he settled down in a high position, he wrote his own experience into several books like self ab*se. The supporting role with his own shadow in the book–the more sympathy others gave him–the more miserable he was and the more ruthless he wrote. Destiny made a mockery of him, and made him transmigrate as the man inside the book and experience misery again. However, an asteroid accidentally fell into the gray and depressing book, rushed into his life without reason, and drilled into his arms with light and heat. That person took his hand and a tear fell on the wound on his palm. “Don’t hurt yourself, OK?” He Bujin just stared at him, with dark eyes and tight throat. “OK.”

## My Thoughts on When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time I dove into "When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time" expecting a lighthearted romp, and for the most part, that's exactly what I got. It's a story about an avid reader and the author of his favorite novel finding themselves transported *inside* that very book. The premise is intriguing, and the execution, while not flawless, certainly kept me entertained. ### First Impressions The initial chapters are hilarious. The setup, with the reader cursing the author for killing off his beloved character and then *poof*, both are transported, is just brilliant. I was immediately hooked by the comedic potential and the promise of seeing how these two very different personalities would navigate this bizarre situation. I found myself laughing out loud at the absurdity of it all. ### What Works Well The heart of this story lies in the relationship between the MC and ML. The dynamic is engaging. I particularly enjoyed how the author explored their connection, both inside and outside the book. The side characters are a delight, adding layers of humor and warmth to the narrative. The "face-slapping" moments, while sometimes leaning into cliché, are generally well-executed and satisfying. The story shines when it delves into the healing aspects of their relationship, showcasing how the MC's sincerity helps to mend the ML's wounded heart. The return to the real world was cute and heartwarming, offering a satisfying resolution to their journey. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the overall experience, I did find some aspects a bit lacking. The pacing felt rushed towards the end, with some plot points glossed over. I also noticed that some of the emotional scenes were implied rather than explicitly written, which, while mirroring real life to some extent, left me wanting more depth in certain moments. Additionally, the translation could be improved, as there were instances where the dialogue felt unclear or the pronouns were mixed up, leading to confusion. Also, there were some elements of the story that were not to my personal preference, such as the entertainment industry setting or the inclusion of childhood bonds. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have noted that the revelation of the connection between the author and the reader, while intriguing, felt somewhat cliché. There are also some instances of the ML's personality seeming to shift abruptly, and plot points being skipped over. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time" is a fun and engaging read. The humor is spot-on, the characters are endearing, and the overall story is heartwarming. If you're looking for a lighthearted BL novel with a unique premise and a satisfying ending, I would recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a few bumps along the way.
