My Thoughts on Mr. Zhou Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore!
"Mr. Zhou Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore!" is a completed web novel in the comedy, drama, romance, and shounen ai genres. I dove into this story expecting a fluffy, feel-good read, and for the most part, it delivered. Here are my impressions:
First Impressions
The premise is intriguing: Zhou Chenxi, a small-time actor and the youngest son of a wealthy family, realizes he's cannon fodder in a novel after being reborn. He decides to avoid his fate by, well, not working hard. The initial chapters hooked me with the promise of a lighthearted take on the rebirth trope.
What Works Well
Many readers praised the sheer fluffiness of this story, and I agree. It's a comforting read, especially if you're looking for something to unwind with after heavier, angstier stories. The dynamic between Zhou Chenxi and the male lead, Lu Ji, is a highlight. Lu Ji is a doting and supportive partner, a welcome change from the often-overbearing CEO types. Their romance develops naturally, and their interactions are genuinely sweet.
I also appreciated the emphasis on family, particularly the relationship between Zhou Chenxi and his older brother, Zhou Mingxuan. Mingxuan is the quintessential overprotective but loving older brother, providing both comedic relief and unwavering support. The MC's character is also very endearing as his insecurities are relatable, and his journey to find his own path is enjoyable.
Areas of Concern
While the fluff is a major draw, some found the plot convoluted, especially the multiple rebirth and transmigration elements. I can see how these elements could become confusing. The original protagonist (Luo Xinghe) is transmigrated, reborn, and stealing luck. It's a lot. Some readers found the logic behind character actions questionable and the "villain" underwhelming.

While the plot can be a bit convoluted and the translation quality dips toward the end, the charming characters and sweet romance make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend it if you're in the mood for something low-stakes and heartwarming.
