Description
At the age of eighteen, Shen Rou was sent to the flourishing Emperor Star from the Colossal Star by his family. When he looked up and saw the young man who had been engaged to him since he was a child, he was stunned for a moment. When Shen Ruo plucked up the courage to confess to Chu Xiao, he accidentally fell and knocked his head on the stairs. Shen Ruo, who was s*upid in the eyes of others, was extremely sad because it turned out that he was just a character in a book. The old Duke of Chu’s verbal marriage contract was nothing important in the eyes of the Chu family. It was written in the book that he was finally broken off from the engagement, but he was not reconciled to return to the impoverished Colossal Star. After racking his brains hard, he fooled around with other aristocrats and was finally kept by them to remain on the Emperor Star. In the end, because of offending Chu Xiao’s nephew, the protagonist in that book, he was sent to a more remote galaxy by Chu Xiao. In the end, there was no news of him, and there was a high probability that he was dead. Shen Ruo didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. He wanted to go back home. Colossal Star was a little poorer, but as long as he worked hard, he would at least not go hungry. But Shen Ruo, who had packed up his luggage, was taken back by that violent man. After that, Chu Xiao stopped pretending in front of Shen Ruo.

My Thoughts on Turned out I am a Scheming Little Cannon Fodder
This novel promised a blend of drama, mecha, and romance with a side of scheming, and while it delivered on some fronts, my overall experience was a bit of a rollercoaster. I went in expecting a fun, perhaps slightly angsty, ride, but came out feeling somewhat conflicted.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise of a protagonist realizing he's a character in a novel. The futuristic setting and hints of arranged marriage also piqued my interest. I was ready for some good old-fashioned cannon fodder shenanigans.
What Works Well
I appreciated the initial concept of the MC grappling with the reality of being trapped in a book. The story explores the protagonist's reaction to this revelation, which I found fairly realistic. The system and world-building elements, while not always at the forefront, offered reasonable explanations for the unfolding events. Some readers found the initial dynamic between the leads captivating, describing it as a "playboy meets his match" scenario before the "book" element kicked in. I can see the appeal, and I think the author had some genuinely good ideas.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the execution faltered for me in several key areas. The biggest issue seems to be the portrayal of the male lead and the dynamic between him and the MC. Many found the ML's behavior problematic, even labeling it as bullying, controlling, and at times, even abusive. The MC's constant fear and appeasement of the ML created an uncomfortable atmosphere that detracted from the romantic elements. The ML's actions are described as immature and the relationship is considered toxic by some. I also felt that the ending felt rushed, leaving me wanting more development after the two leads finally got together.

Final Verdict
"Turned out I am a Scheming Little Cannon Fodder" has an interesting premise and some genuinely engaging moments. However, the problematic relationship dynamics, particularly the male lead's behavior, and the rushed ending ultimately detracted from my enjoyment. While some readers might find the angst and drama appealing, I personally struggled with the portrayal of the romance and the characters' actions. I'd recommend proceeding with caution and being aware of the potential triggers before diving in.
