Description
At the beginning of his transmigration into a book, Pei Jing knew exactly what he should do. Following the generic plotline, he was supposed to take the protagonist, who would face a challenging destiny, as his disciple. He would use love and tenderness to influence him, cling to his thigh, and incidentally prevent his descent into darkness. However, the plot took an unexpected twist, and the protagonist still succumbed to darkness. The blackened protagonist personally inflicted harm upon Pei Jing, crippling him, destroying his cultivation, annihilating his sect, and casting him into endless hell. Pei Jing: “Hehe, interesting :)” And so, in the depths of hell, he too succumbed to darkness. Emerging from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Ghosts, the once pristine Immortal in white transformed into a blood-red Asura. He severed the protagonist’s limbs and sealed him in the depths of the sea, thinking it would be the end. However, he didn’t anticipate that it was only the beginning. He was reborn, but in a body that was not his own. After transmigrating into the book, Pei Jing’s first task was to find the protagonist, take him as his disciple, and search and search. And finally, at a certain street corner, he found him… Pei Jing’s heart filled with joy. He bent down and reached out his hand to the protagonist, saying, “Young friend, are you willing to become my disciple?” The protagonist raised his dirty head, looking confused. However, at that moment, another person’s hand reached out and touched Pei Jing’s. That person was dressed in black, with a mysterious and alluring appearance. Smiling, beautiful yet dangerous, he said, “Immortal, what do you think of me?” Pei Jing: “???” And just like that, he ended up taking two disciples at once. It seemed like quite a lucrative development—but wait, wait a minute, isn’t this development a bit unusual?

My Thoughts on After Failing to Influence the Protagonist
"After Failing to Influence the Protagonist" is a wild ride of a web novel, and I have to admit, I'm still sorting out my feelings about it. With elements of action, fantasy, and even a dash of shounen ai, it's a story that definitely keeps you on your toes.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a protagonist trying to change the course of a novel's original plot. The idea of a character grappling with predestined roles and struggling against fate is always compelling. The early chapters definitely hooked me with the chaotic energy of Pei Jing and his relationships.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of this novel is the dynamic between Pei Jing and his friends. I found their interactions hilarious and heartwarming, and I was genuinely invested in their bonds. The author does a good job of portraying Pei Jing as a morally gray character, not always perfect, but ultimately trying to do the right thing, which makes him feel more relatable and human. This complexity made me root for him, even when he stumbled. The mystery surrounding Chu Junyu, the male lead, also kept me engaged, particularly the exploration of his past trauma and cynical outlook. Seeing their relationship develop, with Pei Jing's carefree attitude balancing Chu Junyu's darkness, was a definite highlight.
Areas of Concern
⚠️ Spoiler Warning:
While I enjoyed many aspects of the story, I also had some reservations. Like some readers, I felt that the ending felt rushed, and the final battle didn't quite live up to the build-up. Specifically, the handling of Ji Wuyou’s character arc felt a bit underdeveloped. I also wasn't entirely convinced by Pei Yuzhi's attempts to "reform" him, as it felt somewhat insincere.
Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "After Failing to Influence the Protagonist" is a unique and engaging read. The complex characters, intriguing plot, and comedic undertones make it a worthwhile experience. While the ending could have been stronger, the journey itself is filled with enough twists, turns, and heartwarming moments to keep you invested. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a web novel with a morally ambiguous protagonist, a compelling romance, and a healthy dose of chaos.
