My Thoughts on After Cannon Fodder Gong Started Farming, He Had HE With the Cold Male Protagonist

This title is a mouthful, but the story itself? Surprisingly captivating! "After Cannon Fodder Gong Started Farming, He Had HE With the Cold Male Protagonist" delivers a sweet and engaging historical romance with a healthy dose of slice-of-life farming thrown in.

First Impressions

Going in, I was a little wary. The premise felt a bit convoluted – a gong MC with multiple lives, transmigrating into a novel world? But from the very first chapter, I was hooked. The blend of ancient China, fantasy elements, and a hard-working protagonist immediately grabbed my attention.

What Works Well

The romance between the MC and ML is definitely a highlight. Their dynamic is genuinely sweet, and I appreciated that the intimacy wasn't just one-sided. There's a real sense of mutual desire and respect between them. I also enjoyed the MC's resourcefulness. He's incredibly OP, armed with modern knowledge that allows him to solve problems and improve the lives of those around him. From architecture to flood control, his contributions felt meaningful. The antagonists, while perhaps not the most complex, provided enough conflict to keep the story moving. The MC's cunning and the ML's brilliance make them a formidable pair, and I enjoyed watching them overcome obstacles together. The plot is not too angsty and this is a plus for those that dislike slow paced love and full of miscommunication.

Areas of Concern

While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, I did find that the plot became a bit messier towards the end. The antagonists, while present, didn't always feel like a significant threat. I also felt that the ML's success as a Prime Minister could have been fleshed out more. The beginning was fun, but the relationship/chemistry doesn't feel as sweet anymore.

⚠️ Spoiler Warning

Okay, let's talk spoilers! The ML's intersex condition and subsequent pregnancy are significant plot points. While some may find this trope appealing, it's important to be aware of it before diving in. Also, the baby is a girl and this occurs towards the end of the novel.

Final Verdict

Overall, "After Cannon Fodder Gong Started Farming, He Had HE With the Cold Male Protagonist" is a delightful read. Despite a few minor flaws, the engaging plot, sweet romance, and capable characters make it a worthwhile investment of your time. If you're looking for a relatively low-angst historical romance with a dash of farming and a lot of heart, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
