Translator’s Summary
This is the story of a reader who shows his love for his favorite author by trolling him with negative comments. For the author’s latest novel, the reader complained that the protagonist is way too nice and boring… but he didn’t mean it. Reader only said that to get attention. He actually loves the story and the protagonist.
Author: … Understood.
The reader then helplessly watched as the story derailed. The protagonist’s mixed blood heritage was revealed so he was betrayed by his friends and allies. The formerly heroic and lovable protagonist went through countless sufferings and turned pitch black.
Du Ze was then transmigrated into the novel’s world where he met the protagonist. This is the story of their adventures and romance.
Note: Du Zhe (读者 meaning Reader) and Du Ze (杜泽 the character’s name) sound almost the same
Characters
Main character: The reader is deaf and uses a hearing aid. Uke. Due to childhood trauma and his disability, he finds it hard to overcome social barriers to talk to people normally. Smart type when it comes to non-social interactions. Physically weak but brave. Dense when it comes to romance.
Male lead: The protagonist was formerly a kind, friendly, self-sacrificing hero, but after he was betrayed and hunted down by his former friends, he turned into a cold-blooded killing machine. Seme. Possessive and jealous. He has eight different forms, each with it’s own powers: angel, demon, elf, gnome, dragon, undead, beastkin, and human. Protective and doting lover.
Author’s Summary
As a black powder fan, the reader criticized his favorite author to express his love, saying: “The protagonist is 2B (dumb), the author is SB (stupid ****).”
Author: “… Got it.”
Then the reader could only helplessly look on as the the protagonist was abused and betrayed, finally embarking on the road to becoming completely black (evil), everything was a mess.
After that the reader transmigrated into a strange world. How come no matter how he looked at it, the person in front of him is the protagonist (blackened version)? Just what is going on =A= !?
[In the other world]
The reader (holding on to the author’s memorial tablet and crying): Hero! I was wrong!!! The Holy Saint is indeed the best person in this world! The world needs the Holy Saint! Please let the protagonist’s Holy Saint shine her light on the people around me (especially me)! Blackening is an illness, please treat it.
Protagonist: Come here.
[Twenty-first century]
Author: Atchoo! Which sister is thinking of me?

Hi! I was looking for a Spanish translation but the ones that I found aren’t completed or they just dropped them.
I was wondering if I could translate it to Spanish in Wattpad. Of course I’d give the appropriate credits and links to the original English translation. I’m just intrigued by this story and I really liked reading it; but I have a lot of friends that don’t know English and I wanted to share this amazing novel with them!
I’ve known English for a while now and I think I’m capable of re-translating it.
Im looking forward to a reply, thank you!!
Okay, if you want to it’s fine but please credit and link BC Novels.
Thank you! I’ll make sure to send the link here when most chapters are done so people who look for it can find it easier. Again, thank you so much for letting me!!
No problem and good luck with your translation.
Hello, I really love this novel and I would like to translate this into my native language Myanmar, can you give me a permission, I will wait for your reply ,thank you.
Sure, go ahead but please link and credit BC Novels.
I will and thank you so much for permission.
Hello, I really love this novel andd I would like to translate this into Myanmar language. Could you give me a permission, I will wait for your reply, thank you.
The manhua is translated in English up to chapter 13 in mangadex.
This is what actually led me to read this novel. Thank you so much again
It was my pleasure! Glad you liked it.
Hello ! I really like the translation.
I wanna know if I can translate it to French. Thanks.
Okay, but please please credit and link to BC Novels.
I will !! Thanks for authorization !!
:))

I have a question what happened to the golden Dragon and Eric?! Eric just will forever be trapped into the Angel trial?? ;-; thats honestly so sad…
Hello, I would like to be allowed to translate the novel into Arabic.
Okay but please do credit and link to BC Novels.
Hi;;; I really love the story!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK //love love;;
I want to ask your permission to translate the story into Spanish for these reasons:
1. The Spanish translation stopped in the first part of the first chapter… three years ago… :c
2. I’ve searched the story on other sites like Wattpad and found it translated with google translator … It doesn’t make sense!! it’s insulting T-T
3. The story is very good, I want people to know it and love it well;;;
Do you give me permission? I have experience in translation, I’ll give aaall the credits and if you want I can give you the translations for you to review. I hope you accept;;;
I really enjoyed myself, THX a lot!!! ;D
It’s nice ‘break’ from common plots – I don’t mind them (common plots;)) as long as they are written well ^^ – I have enjoyed the journey with Du Ze and Xiu ;]] it was nice having a ‘reader’ (similar to all of us;)) join the protagonist….
The writing style can still be improved (that is always possible despite being on the top;))
I was little disappointed with the censorship ;/ and it would be nice to have all the full chapters together for fluid reading. I also think that sex chapters could be more ‘polished’ (I don’t mean vulgar or over the top or prude etc., just the writing style;)) ==> it’s not malice or anything like that, I’m just total bookworm that went through who know how many books and novels and my ‘palete’ became kind of picky ;PPP still I wouldn’t read a book/novel if I didn’t find it interesting and ejoyable ;)))
I just finished reading last chapter and feel like well fed cat – just want to take a nap and be content ;] even writing any praises to translators and the author is kind of flying out my head, considering the ‘content’ state I’m in, so just know that me and many others (that don’t leave comments) are grateful to you guys for making Xiu and Du Ze alive ;D
Hello. I like this story very much and thank you for your hard work! May I use your translation to re-translate it to Russian? Just want to share it with others ヽ(*▽*)ﾉ
Thank you in advance!
Can someone tell me what this novel is about?
Some spoiler maybe but not too much
Thanksss
It’s about a reader who got transported into the world of his favorite novel. The only problem is that his favorite character is the novel’s Dark Lord (noble demon/villain protagonist).
Interesting.
I will read it now!
Thanks for the details

Hello, I wanted to ask you permission to translate this novel in wattpad into Spanish. I have seen several translations there, but they are not good and several have been discarded or left halfway for a long time.
I always put the credits of all the novels that I translate into a note at the beginning of each novel, you should not worry about them.
You can see that in my profile:
I haven’t published the novel yet, but if I get permission, I plan to do it soon.
Okay, please make sure to link and credit BC NOvels.
Hello, I already published the novel, you can see the credits in the first part: “Aclaraciones”

The first time I read this I wonder why the author name looks familiar. I realized it’s the same name of “The King’s Avatar” in game character “One Autumn Leaf” XD And somehow I felt it’s a coincidence that the protagonist name is Xiu because “The King’s Avatar”s Protagonist name is Ye Xiu. I cannot help but seeing this as a fanfiction lol XD Forgive me, writer and translator XD
Hey, I just want to tell you that someone posted the novel on Webnovel
In case you don’t know about it.
I hope you will see this comment of mine.
I didn’t know someone was posting it. I sent an email to webnovel but who knows when they will fix it…
It’s supposed to show a link I copy pasted on my comment but I guess it didn’t show RIP. Yeah, the person, who uploaded them, removed the chapters.
Hello, my name is Thwon, and I would like to translate this novel into French. Is it possible or is it already translated? Because I searched everywhere, but didn’t find.
If it is not already started, please let me translate it. Of course, I’ll give you the credits and i really love this novel.
Thank you,
Thwon.
Sure, no problem. Just make sure you credit and link to BCNovels.com!
Thank you for responding this fast! And yes of course I will. I was wondering if i could use the pictures or will i have to link them for French readers to see?
Also, I will certainly begin publishing the translated version on Wattpad (I’m poor, I don’t have my own site!) After the Christmas holidays, do you want the link when it’ll be ready?
And last question (sorry) I was really wondering if any other French people ever asked you if they could translate this novel and began doing it. I don’t want to translate any story if there is another team already working on it…
Thank you again,
Thwon.
(And sorry for any grammatical mistakes, writing in English isn’t my forte, hahaha)
Hi, I love your translation. Is a good work and I find it easy to understand. Although, I want to know if you would not mind that I translated it in Spanish. I would like more people to read this work.
