What to do if you find out that you are a cannon fodder in a cultivation novel?

Chapter 3: My path to the top



The title was pretty good “My path to the top” but when I started reading I found out it was a cliché stallion dog blood novel in a cultivation world1Male protagonist who work to get beautiful ladies (Harem) while killing others and getting stronger where the protagonist kills cannon fodders and collects beauties on his way to the top… and I was one of the death seeking brainless cannon fodder2expendable character - not a villain, a cannon f*cking fodder - 

It took a while to find out though because the name of the protagonist was different - and I did not know his life before meeting me - then he changed his name (and face) to the one I knew to hide from other villains he should not have provoked. 

And just like what happened in my past life, he bumped me by mistake (I forgot that part). With my temperament at that time - uneducated and overbearing teen- I insulted him, fought him and won. 

The next time we meet he gets his revenge in a fight where we wager some ridiculous amount of money. He wins the fight and uses the money to buy some treasures in an auction that turns out to be his first golden finger3Special skill or power or way that no one else has and that can help the bearer to get divine protection/strength or other

From then I would stupidly seek him out and get slapped repeatedly while loosing my credibility, reputation, wealth  and eventually body parts. I was not even the main villain! - I had to say it again - 

My cousin would help him get the toxic family's support to kick me out 2 years after our first meeting and she ended up being his 3rd wife. Eventually he gains two other golden fingers through me - one being my mother’s family heirloom -

I mean what the hell!! I recalled the reason for our first fight thanks to the novel. All the pain and suffering because of a bumping! If I had never met him that day or if I never fought him I would not have suffered? but it was written in a novel so it was fate and not luck?  

All this time, I was sure something possessed me to do those stupid things so instead it was the novel that pushed me to do them? or was it me doing them that made the author write the novel? Hahaha now it is a question of the chicken or the egg who came first. This was the first time I was in a mental distress in 20 years! 

F*ck this novel! A protagonist who passes his time collecting concubines and killing/torturing for revenge is just a sh*ty one. The 1st volume of this novel ended with the death of the main villain. I died halfway and it said to expect a 2nd volume of the novel. So what happens now that he finished all his revenge? Will he destroy other people's lives in the 2nd volume? I am so angry at the author! 

Actually, I was so angry that I decided to write him a long - and angry - review. The review did not only include my point of view as the cannon fodder, but also the point of view of the villain - who by the way is a villain because he is his half brother from the main wife and so the sooo called revenge is really jealousy - ... And what a good title wasted on a sh*ty story! change it to a sh*ty title to match it! I mean explain why the cannon fodder and the villain are trying to stupidly fight him over and over again for no good reason?

Fine, to be fair only I fought stupidly, the villain was smart until halfway through the book then he took my mantel.    

After I hit send for my review. I decided to vent my anger by destroying the book then go to sleep. I had nightmares all night. 

When I woke up the next day, I felt grumpy so I asked my sister to buy me some fried chicken. I had to argue with the whole family to taste it. I mean, I am dying, can’t I get to enjoy some good food? 

Answer is : NO. Unless you want to die painfully within this hour … aghhhh life is hard. 

First life I died from hunger and in this life I could die from eating. Anyway, I don't wanna have in my grave the inscription 

“Died after eating fried chicken” which my brother promised to write if I did…with mum confirming it!

My sister chose to buy me a pink chicken plushie to hug when sleeping… My dad just laughed

Ah family…they are lucky that I love them. 

Afterwards, I never had nightmares about the past.

In the afternoon a reply from the author was sent “Thank you for the review. Please wait for the 2nd volume to get answers” 

Too bad I did not set a notification nor was I planning to ever go to the author's website so that answer was never meant to be seen by me...

2 months later my 2nd life ended. I left peacefully surrounded by my family. It was a short life but a happy one. 

My first goal was reached just like that4First goal from the list in chapter 1
