Time for another Awesome Possum!
Awesome Possum posts consist of random internet finds. Any blog posts, articles, videos, podcasts, anything under the sun will be included here. To be clear, this won’t only include games or manga.

Chapters: 973
From Novel Updates:
Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian had secretly longed for each other for thirteen years, and now that there’s a possibility for them to be together, even though the circumstances may be unconventional, neither one can refuse their inner desires any longer.
Hurled into a false marriage, Qiao Anhao treads carefully towards the cold and reclusive Lu Jinnian, but after years of near-missed opportunities and deep misunderstandings, how could their last shot at love possibly run smooth?
“Nation Husband” is a Korean term awarded to a man who is perfect in the eyes of the public – an ideal husband.
Wow, this novel is just frustrating to the highest point.
I’ve read until the 100th chapter and I think I’m done with this series. I’m so done. At least for now. Before you get your pitchforks ready, hear me out.

From Novel Updates:
Xu ZiYan has a little brother, and that little brother is gay. As an older brother, he has always felt a bit regretful.
One day he transmigrated into the inside of a novel and found himself with another chance to raise a younger brother.
Immediately rolling his sleeves up to prepare for battle, he planned to raise this little brother into an exceptionally good man! And a perfectly straight one!
Taking a lesson from his past experiences, he continuously perfected his training plans.
Clearly, he strangled any opportunities to turn his little brother bent in the cradle, yet why was it that the little brother he had used all his heart and blood to raise — was still a gay guy!!!
And he was a gay guy who made him his target!!!
Your father ain’t playing around anymore!
A body you can save, however a warped soul……how do you want him to save it?! What a godly problem!!!
Twisted black-belly younger brother X irritated wifey older brother.
I finally have the courage to start this loooong novel. Just letting you know that I’ve only read the first 52 chapters. So think of this as more of an impression than a complete review.
Let’s start!

Status: Completed
Chapters: 12
From Novel Updates:
When Lin Ran woke up, he found out that he has unfortunately transmigrated into the body of the Evil Cult Founder’s 18th little concubine. Even more unfortunate was his true identity is actually a guard (名捕/míng bǔ). He married the Founder in order to spy on him.
Idiotic protagonist could only ‘bite the bullet’ and be undercover. All sorts of bad luck, all sorts of incidents in ‘getting exposed’… however, he found out that this Founder’s attitude is very very strange…
I found this randomly and it’s very short so why not give it a try.
Word of advice before you start reading this novel: This is not supposed to be taken seriously.
Are we clear or are we clear? 😂

Chapters: 60
Summary from Novel Updates:
The 27-year-old Wei Han is a slightly fat, slightly chicken-livered, and slightly foolish, pure-hearted and besotted top, and his sweetheart who had been together with him for seven years, in the end, was stolen away by Qi ZhiFan one morning.
Deeply broken-hearted and in despair, he went overboard with binge eating, and ended up pathetically choking to death…
Luckily, he received a second chance, yet his timing, position, and destiny all got warped, and the him who returned to being twenty followed his remarried mother into the Qi family, turning into Qi ZhiFan’s non-blood-related older brother.
Well, Wei Han swore that this time, he must alter his dumped-as-cannon-fodder fate, and since he’s become his love rival’s big bro, he can definitely torment this scumbag little brother to death, restoring his position as the rightful top and quickly carry his bottom home!
However, why is the development of the plot spiraling further and further out of his control?
Why is Qi ZhiFan looking at him with a scorching, burning gaze, acting more and more questionable ( ⊙ o ⊙ ) eh?!
Thus, Wei Han was pushed down into an official bottom…
In the search for another light and easy read, I decided to pick up this novel!

Chapters: 94
Summary edited from MTL-ed copy from JJWXC:
Ji Ming Yue thinks that his last life is pretty good, there is no reason for him to be born again. So when God let him restart his high school, it must be to rewrite the tragic fate of the school heartthrob and his crush Lin Feng!
In order to save his male god, Ji Ming is more and more skillful.
The first step, in order to prevent the school grass* grades from falling, volunteer to be his deskmate to supervise him
The second step, in order to prevent the school grass from being lonely, try to become friends with him
The third step, in order to prevent school grass’s bad relatives, help his sickly mother and invite the school grass to have a vacation at his home!
One step at a time, very nice!
As he was saving, suddenly one day…
Lin Feng looked down at him, his eyes clear: “Do you like me?”
Ji Mingyue: “No, no, no, no…”
Lin Feng: “I also like you.”
“…” Ji Ming changed his words. “No no no – I like you too!”
First, if you know a better translation of the summary, or if you know the author’s translated name, please do tell me.
About the school grass thing, Lin Feng is called 校草 (xiàocǎo) which according to this website means “most handsome boy in school.” So if you plan to MTL this afterward, you’ll either see school grass or school god and that pertains to Lin Feng.
Another thing, on MTL, Ji Mingyue’s name can also be Ji Ming. But for this post, I’ll be calling him Ji Mingyue or JMY. For Lin Feng, it’s LF.
Now that’s out of the way, I’m so happy to share this series with you! This webnovel is something I discovered while lurking around Novel Updates forum and it seems like a light read, the kind of read I needed at that time. The story’s not that long plus it’s set in the modern times so it gives me the courage to read through the MTL. (Psst, if you don’t know how to purchase from JJWXC, check out Anonfail’s guide.)

In case you haven’t read yet, you may want to check out the previous post about Heroic Death System here where I talked about my general thoughts about the novel. Meanwhile, this post contains my thoughts about the individual worlds in the series.
Heroic Death System has 16 worlds (17 if you include the last known reincarnation cycle), 10 of which have redo arcs. Redo arcs have a chapter showing what happened once Shang Ke died and the rest is when he has a second chance to do the world.

Chapters: 275
From Novel Updates:
“I curse you to never die in peace!”
Thus, Shang Ke started a never-ending (forced) cycle of constantly throwing away his miserable life.
He would always show himself as a martyr while letting others cry over his death.
It was because of a woman’s curse that Shang Ke was hit by a car and turned into a human vegetable. This led to him becoming bound by an unlucky system in which he was cursed to die. The most unfortunate part was that he never cheated on anyone’s feelings. The reason for why he was cursed by a woman was because of a guy named Qi Chen. Qi Chen was a ladies man, and he would always use Shang Ke as an excuse to break up with any woman that he was with. As a result, Shang Ke was always blamed for the breakups. Since then, the main character could only be forced to cross into different worlds. He would thus experience for himself, the hero’s “thrill”.
It’s HE.
MTL-ing this fried my brain cells but it was worth it!

Heya~!
Here’s a new feature post which I’m not sure if I’ll be doing this kind of thing weekly. But we’ll see. 😉
Awesome Possum posts consist of random internet finds. Any blog posts, articles, videos, podcasts, anything under the sun will be included here. To be clear, this won’t only include games or manga. It will be anything and everything.
This is a mid-week post because I forgot to post last Sunday (oops) lol. This means, that some of the posts are not necessarily posted today or this week.
So let’s get started. 😊

Novel Updates: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/quickly-wear-the-face-of-the-devil/
From Novel Updates:
A top hacker was chosen by the Lord God to be reborn into countless worlds, always as an expendable villain.
With no free will, every world became a dead end. Every one of his lives ended tragically.
Finally, after wresting control of the Villain System, this ace hacker decided to enact revenge. Even if his very bones were rotten, he’d choose to occupy the very heights of morality, if only on the surface.
Thus, he would change his fate as an abused slag.
Xue Zi Xuan had me drowning in complicated feels when I finished Arc 14 of Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil.
To juggle our memory, Xue Zi Xuan (XZX) is the adopted brother of Xue Jing Yi and Hwang Yi. XZX falls in love with Zhou Yun Sheng but alas, ZYS already has Immortal Lover. Who would have thought that XZX harbors deep feelings for ZYS and is able to have his much needed second chance?
Yes, this is an extra for QWFOD. And yes!!! This is an extra in which Xue Zi Xuan is the ML. Like the usual length of the other worlds, this story has 15 chapters of angst, drama, and romance.
For the main story: First part here. Second part here.
