After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script. Eighteen years ago, two children were born at the same time, but due to the negligence of the medical staff their name tags were switched. Tao Mu, who was supposed to be born in a wealthy family, was sent to an orphanage instead. Eighteen years later, the mistake was discovered. Tao Mu originally thought everything could go back on track. However, his parents and siblings who were supposed to be the closest family disliked him deeply, lovers and friends also turned their backs on him. Receiving such a shock, Tao Mu completely revealed his dark side, becoming a vicious cannon fodder that everyone hated. In the end he found himself utterly isolated and committed su*cide by jumping off a building. After being reborn, Tao Mu was surprised to find that he actually lived in a book. The male protagonist in the book was the Silly White Sweet** who was the other baby that he had mistakenly switched identities with. As for him, he was just the vicious cannon fodder encountered by the Silly White Sweet in his sweet and pampered life. Tao Mu: f*ck this plot, and f*ck this stereotypical routine. I won’t be playing along in this life! In other words, this is a dog blood story of a highly provoked cannon fodder no longer mistreating himself to please anyone after being reborn. Instead he will be relying on himself to build an entertainment empire that will catapult him to the top. ** person who is s*upid but in a sweet way

## My Thoughts on After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn "After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn" is quite the ride, a sprawling tale of rebirth, revenge, and rediscovering what truly matters. It's a novel that definitely kept me turning the pages, even if I occasionally stumbled over some bumps in the road. ### First Impressions Initially, I was hooked by Tao Mu, our reborn protagonist. His jaded perspective, coupled with a strong work ethic, made him instantly compelling. I loved seeing him navigate the entertainment industry, armed with knowledge from his past life and a determination to avoid the mistakes he made before. The early chapters really shine, drawing you into Tao Mu's world and setting the stage for his rise. ### What Works Well One of the strongest aspects of this novel is the character development, particularly Tao Mu's. Watching him soften around the edges, learning to trust and cherish those who genuinely care for him, was incredibly satisfying. The slow-burn romance with Li Xiaoheng also worked for me. Their relationship felt mature and grounded, a welcome contrast to some of the more dramatic elements of the plot. I also appreciated the author's attempt to explain Tao Mu's seemingly endless talents. While some might see him as a Gary Stu, the justifications provided—his grandfather's teachings, his past life experiences, and his willingness to work hard—made his abilities feel somewhat more believable. The face-slapping moments were undeniably satisfying, especially when directed at those who wronged him in his previous life. ### Areas of Concern However, the novel isn't without its flaws. The pacing can be sluggish at times, with some sections feeling like filler. I can see how some readers might find the sheer length of the novel daunting, and I admit I skimmed over certain parts towards the end. Also, the later introduction of the time loop concept felt a bit jarring. While it added an interesting layer to the story, it also felt somewhat shoehorned in, lacking the foreshadowing it deserved. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning The ending of the novel, particularly the revelations surrounding Shen Yu's true nature and the multiple rebirths, might not appeal to all readers. While I found it intriguing, it also introduced some questionable moral implications, especially concerning the use of "plot halos" to manipulate others. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn" is an engaging and ultimately satisfying read. It's a story about second chances, the importance of cherishing your loved ones, and the power of letting go of past grievances. If you're a fan of rebirth novels with a strong protagonist and a mature romance, this one is definitely worth checking out, just be prepared for a long and winding journey. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
