Description

Du You transmigrated into a novel and finds himself turned into a bossy CEO character. He thought he would be able to have the time of his life from then on, but he is informed that this is merely one of the worlds in a QT novel. And he is a bossy CEO character who has already fallen for the Bottom. Now, it’s time for the final scene already – The Bottom is going to detach from the world by faking his death, so he would end up devastated and become a mere shell of his former self. Du You: What are we even waiting for? it’s showtime! He imagines he will be able to enjoy a CEO’s vivid and vibrant life once the Bottom leaves the world for good. Since the sole responsibility of the CEOs in these novels is to ‘sentence arbitrary companies to bankruptcies.’ Yet, apparently, the plotline isn’t over yet. As a freshly secured love interest, he must follow the Bottom’s path. Alongside the Tops of other worlds, they will form a Love Polygon. In the end, the Bottom will discover that all the Tops are actually a split part of the same person, the protagonist Top. Then all the split parts will join together, and then have a happy ending with the Bottom. Du You: … F*ck this shit. Bye bye, he’s going to run away.

My Thoughts on I Ran Away after I was Forced into a Love Polygon

First Impressions

Okay, the title is a mouthful, and honestly, it almost scared me off. "Love Polygon"? It sounded like a recipe for a messy harem situation. But I kept seeing recommendations, so I decided to dive in, and I'm glad I did. It's a story about Du You, a guy from a post-apocalyptic world, who gets roped into acting as a CEO in a quick transmigration setting. His job? To play the overbearing president to a white lotus shou. Things get complicated when he finds out the shou's previous "gongs" are being brought together to fuse into one perfect lover. Du You, understandably, wants none of that and tries to escape, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. Du You's complete lack of emotional intelligence and common sense, combined with his deadpan delivery, creates some truly laugh-out-loud moments. I also appreciated the unique premise. The whole "love polygon" concept is played for laughs, but it also raises some interesting questions about identity and self-determination. The characters, despite being somewhat archetypal, have a certain charm. I particularly liked Du You himself. He's not your typical naive protagonist; he's steadfast, calm, and rational, even if he doesn't quite grasp human emotions. The plot, while a bit draggy at times, is generally engaging. I found myself invested in Du You's quest to thwart the fusion and carve out his own path.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the novel, it wasn't without its flaws. The sheer amount of internal monologue could get tedious at times. The romance aspect is also quite sparse, especially in the beginning. If you're looking for a fluffy, lovey-dovey story, this might not be it. The focus is more on the comedic misunderstandings and Du You's personal growth.

Final Verdict

Overall, I found I Ran Away after I was Forced into a Love Polygon to be an enjoyable and unique read. The humor, the interesting premise, and the endearing protagonist more than make up for its shortcomings. If you're looking for a lighthearted story with a dash of the supernatural and a protagonist who's delightfully clueless, I'd recommend giving this one a try. Just don't expect a traditional romance.
