Shen Ci discovered that he was a minor villain in a romantic novel, with a quick and miserable death. He had an epiphany and decided to focus on his career in the entertainment industry, not bothering the main character anymore. But the plot took some strange turns: Main character (shou): Mom, Dad, I’m your real son! Father and Mother Shen ignored him: Xiao Ci, get ready to inherit the family fortune. Shen Ci: Huh? I’m the fake one. In the drizzling rain, the main character (shou) had tears in his eyes as he gazed deeply at his beloved male lead (gong). Main character (shou): I’ve decided to leave this place and go somewhere no one knows me…. Male lead (gong), holding an umbrella with a calm expression: Take care, I’m going to pick Xiao Ci up from work. Main character (shou): …. Shen Ci, whose acting awards piled up, was sought out by a genius director for a celebration banquet. With a porcelain like complexion, the soft spoken youth was stunning and stole many hearts. The villains from his family quickly approached. The wealthy big brother from the Shen family: Those with a net worth below ten billion can leave now, save your breath! Top female model sister: Superstars don’t mingle with ordinary people, got it? Top internet celebrity friend: You’re just craving his body, all of you get lost! ….The head of Yunxiao Group, Lu Xiao, strolled in, took Shen Ci’s hand, and gently kissed it, smiling at the villains. The villains shuddered under the gaze of the big villain: Fine, he’s yours. Shen Ci: Huh? He tried to run, but Lu Xiao grabbed him and pulled him into his embrace. Lu Xiao, caressing the youth’s waist, leaned in for a kiss: Behave, leave your mark.

## My Thoughts on Vase Cannon Fodder Is Pampered by the Group Again "Vase Cannon Fodder Is Pampered by the Group Again" promised a fluffy, lighthearted read, and while it delivered on some of those promises, it also stumbled in a few key areas that left me feeling a little underwhelmed. It's one of those stories where your enjoyment will likely hinge on how much you appreciate a heavy dose of doting and a protagonist who's… well, let's just say endearingly naive. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the premise. A cannon fodder character realizing their role and trying to break free from the predetermined plot? Sounds like a fun ride! The tags also promised a heavy emphasis on family and romantic interests showering the MC with affection, which is something I often enjoy as a palate cleanser between more intense reads. ### What Works Well The novel definitely succeeds in creating a world where the protagonist is surrounded by people who adore him. If you're looking for a story where the MC is constantly coddled and supported, this might be right up your alley. The humor, while not laugh-out-loud funny for me, was decent enough to keep me engaged. I also appreciated that the male lead, despite being somewhat pushy, wasn't abusive or problematic in a way that made me uncomfortable. The side romances for the brother and best friend were a nice touch, adding a little more depth to the overall narrative. ### Areas of Concern My biggest issue lies with the protagonist himself. His naivete often bordered on unbelievable, and his lack of agency made it difficult for me to truly connect with him. It felt like his life was constantly being dictated by others, and he rarely pushed back, even when he clearly wasn't happy. This also impacted the romance, as his innocence made it hard to believe he could genuinely understand the feelings directed towards him. The plot also felt underdeveloped, especially with the main antagonist disappearing relatively early on. The "cannon fodder" aspect of the story felt almost meaningless, as the original plot was quickly discarded. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have expressed concerns about the treatment of the original shou and the implications of the transmigrator taking over their life. Additionally, there are some potentially triggering elements related to a character "accidentally" causing harm to the MC and the over-the-top reactions that follow. ### Final Verdict "Vase Cannon Fodder Is Pampered by the Group Again" is a fairly standard example of its genre. If you're looking for a light, fluffy read with a heavy emphasis on doting and don't mind a somewhat passive protagonist, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you prefer more complex characters and a well-developed plot, this might not be the story for you. I'd rate it a solid 3 out of 5 stars – enjoyable in parts, but ultimately forgettable.
