Description
After his demise, Xue Fuguang realized that he was merely a dispensable character in a novel, born to elevate Xu Jin by cushioning his falls, shielding him from disasters, and accentuating his presence like a sewer rat. From the lofty status of a prince’s son, he plummeted to a prisoner, and the execution of more than five hundred members of his household was the protagonist’s gift. Awakening one day, Xue Fuguang found himself reborn, back to the eve of his family’s downfall and the impending seizure of their property. He resolved to fight against the plot by any means necessary. Xue Fuguang had a shadow guard by his side, a spy from the Ying dynasty infiltrated into the Jing country. This man surfaced at pivotal moments in the story, nearly defeating the protagonist, Xu Jin, and remaining unfazed by him. Xue Fuguang believed that changing the fate of his family and contending against the plot’s turning points depended on this man, so he spared no effort in winning him over. Winning him over went surprisingly smoothly. If Xue Fuguang told him to go east, he wouldn’t go west; if told to set a fire, he wouldn’t harm a soul, displaying a startling level of obedience. He asked the spy, “What do you desire? Whatever it is, I shall grant it.” The man, with his head bowed and hands clenched, dared not look at him. After a long pause, his voice hoarse, he replied, “I desire nothing.” His loyalty was indeed unwavering. As time passed, even Xue Fuguang began to believe in this man’s absolute loyalty. Just when he started to feel remorse for using him, He suddenly saw a familiar embroidered sock fall from the man’s embrace — one that he had lost a long time ago.

My Thoughts on The Gloomy Cannon Fodder Is Reborn
"The Gloomy Cannon Fodder Is Reborn" promised a captivating blend of revenge, second chances, and historical intrigue, and for the most part, it delivered a satisfying read. I dove in expecting a rollercoaster of emotions, and while the pacing was quick, I found myself genuinely invested in the MC's journey.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, the premise hooked me. A pampered son, responsible for his family's downfall, gets a chance to rewrite history? Sign me up! The initial chapters efficiently set the stage, introducing the key players and the inciting incident that sets our MC on his path of vengeance. It felt like a classic revenge story with a fresh twist.
What Works Well
The MC's transformation is definitely a highlight. Watching him evolve from a naive, spoiled character into a cunning strategist was incredibly satisfying. The plot moved at a brisk pace, and I appreciated that it didn't get bogged down in unnecessary details. The dynamic between the MC and ML was also quite enjoyable, adding a layer of warmth to the otherwise serious themes of revenge and political maneuvering. The story is short, so it doesn't overstay its welcome.
Areas of Concern
The rapid pacing, while generally a positive, occasionally felt a bit too fast. I would have appreciated a little more depth in certain areas, particularly regarding the ML's feelings for the MC. While their relationship was a definite plus, I felt like I wanted to see a more in-depth development of their relationship and the reasons for them falling in love.
