The only aspects of the novel I found appealing were the sexual scenes and the character of the elderly butler. The rest of it was underwhelming.
1) The body that Su An possessed was that of a troubled 19-year-old who struggled with drug addiction and a unhealthy attachment to his adoptive father. Despite this, nobody seemed to offer help, and in fact, they嫌弃他. The main character (MC) believes the male lead (ML) did enough by taking him in and providing financial support. However, I argue that if the ML truly cared, he should have sought a family who could genuinely care for the boy. The fact that Su An felt isolated and pushed to suicide due to neglect is disturbing. It implies that if Su An hadn't risked his life for the ML, he would never have been accepted, which is unjust.
2) While both MC and ML saved each other, I question the circumstances that led to their troubles. The first incident involved assisting a drunk director back to bed, which seemed like a typical party task. At 26 and with experience in acting, the MC should have known better, yet he didn't. The second incident involved a jealous female lead from another company. Although warned, the MC was caught off guard by her actions, driven by her obsession with the ML. It doesn't make logical sense.
3) The MC, a 26-year-old heterosexual man, voluntarily engaged in intimate acts with his adoptive father to keep him warm, invited the ML to a costume party, and even opened the door naked for him. Despite claiming the relationship was immoral, the MC appeared to be more accepting than concerned. This inconsistency is baffling.
In summary, these inconsistencies and illogical plot points make the book unsatisfactory for me.
Firstly, I couldn't locate a complete Chinese novel version, which hindered my ability to read it fully through Google Translate. Regrettably, I am currently on hold until the English translations catch up, as there are 388 chapters available at the moment of this review.
The story, although not centered around an overpowered protagonist, adheres to its title, showcasing the transformation of the main character's sister, or disciple, into a powerful figure, symbolizing her rise like a phoenix. The narrative shares similarities with "Ending Maker," where the protagonist enters a game knowing its plot, utilizing that knowledge as an advantage. Our protagonist employs his game insights to manipulate events and gain benefits.
The relationships between the main character and supporting characters are portrayed well, but occasionally, they serve as plot devices when the author faces a storytelling roadblock. To move the story forward, forced romantic subplots are employed, which can be less enjoyable to read. However, these instances are relatively minor and do not significantly detract from the overall reading experience.
"Sung Jin woo in Tate's tale is a captivating read that effortlessly weaves a complex narrative. The protagonist's journey is both compelling and relatable, as he navigates the intricate web of love and intrigue within the pages of this engrossing story. Jin woo's character development is a standout, capturing the reader's heart with his resilience and unexpected growth. The author's prose is elegant, painting vivid scenes that keep you hooked until the very end. A must-read for fans of psychological thrillers, "Tate" offers an exhilarating blend of suspense and emotion."

Idk, it all went downhill when the translation style changed. Though, it felt like several plots were bunch out together, it would've been a good read if it was translated properly.
i swear to you,i swear to you, i swear to you, i was speechless i could not speak for two minutes how did 2000 Gnomes, Goblins and Houndhead Men turn into 20,000 Gnomes, 10,000 Goblins, and 10,000 Houndhead Men? He is requesting compensation for that many even though his troops can´t die.
Who does not seriously hate the harem classification? Why does the author like to describe the relationship? He cannot tell you that it happened and does not describe it, or does he want s*x lovers to read it or something like that?

Read "The Billionaire Husband in Disguise". It won't repeat the same storyline...
What a sweet chapter ending…
This is a great and exciting book
