Just started reading The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System today, and I'm already almost halfway through the first book LOL.

Shen Yuan's internal dialogue is so funny, especially when he argues with the System.

I can't wait for him to have to deal with grown-up Luo Binghe. He doesn't even realize he's already been inducted into the future harem(?) (might not be a harem anymore, Binghe has ONE wife now). Binghe cooking for him so adorable!

I'm blessed that my library has these, I put a hold on the whole series since it's only 4 books and I'm clearly flying through them.

Shen Qingqiu is actively arguing with the System about replacing the maiden in Luo Binghe's dream world 🤣

He doesn't understand that poor Binghe loves him now...

3 10/6/2025, 11:59:11 AM

Now that Shen Yuan/Qingqiu can act as OOC as he wants, I'm glad that he's choosing to give Binghe all the parental love that he needs. It's really heartwarming, especially after everything the poor boy has gone through.

It does make the future shipping prospects a little sus, but what's a little age gap?

Also, he keeps commenting on how cute Binghe is, and as a seasoned BL fan, that means he's going to grow up into an absolute monster top 😅 (we already knew this).

4 10/6/2025, 4:42:53 PM

NOOO Binghe got banished to the abyss 😱

I knew this had to happen, but I hope he was able to see that Shen Qingqiu didn't really want to do it...

Also SQQ was definitely getting jealous of the female "harem" members 👀

It was cool to see how the story is running off the tracks already, with Mobei Jun showing up.

5 10/6/2025, 4:53:07 PM

OMG THE AUTHOR ALSO TRANSMIGRATED INTO THE STORY LMAOOOO

Love that Shen Qingqiu immediately jumps to strangle him 🤣

6 10/6/2025, 6:03:26 PM

Phew, I finished the first book! This had me hooked, I really appreciated the light hearted tone.



Volume 2

The 2nd book is finally available! I started reading it today and OMG I thought Binghe would take longer to show up again... Both Shen Yuan and me are shook 😱

2 10/12/2025, 11:11:22 PM

As expected, they immediately slid into a toxic yaoi dynamic since they really do not understand each other at all.

The choking scene was really something though...

Also, I'm mad on Shen's behalf for everybody immediately trying to throw him under the bus, but I'm happy to see that his fellow sect mates are ride-or-die for him.

3 10/12/2025, 11:16:11 PM

Also, the entire water prison section is making me laugh 😂

Especially when Binghe accidentally rips off his clothes, and then gets mad when Shen Yuan refuses to wear his robe because that's a maiden trope...SHEN YUAN YOU ARE THE MAIDEN!!!

And poor Gongyi misunderstood what happened to Shen Qingqiu enough to give him his own robe, he's so precious 🥹

4 10/14/2025, 3:10:45 PM

Holy crap he got caught in the dream world... Luo Binghe really did turn into a yandere

5 10/14/2025, 3:29:31 PM

Not Shen Qingqiu finding out all his disciples are vicious smack-talkers 😂

Considering the original Shen Jiu, it honestly seems more reasonable that they ended up this way.

6 10/14/2025, 3:39:28 PM

NOOOO GONGYI IS DEAD 😭😭😭😭😭

He didn't deserve that wtf.... He was just trying to help SQQ....

7 10/14/2025, 3:56:46 PM

Even SQQ self-destructed 😭

8 10/14/2025, 4:08:38 PM

NOOO THE MUSHROOM BODY SWITCHEROO LMAOOOO

This series swings so wildly from tragic to hilarious. I knew he was planning something and was wondering when that would come into play.

So Shen Qingqiu finished traumatizing Luo Binghe one last time before faking his death.

I also caught that Shang Qinghua also ran away to the demon realm, would love to hear more about his misadventures haha

9 10/14/2025, 4:18:52 PM

Can't believe Shen Yuan is now considering opening an import/export company to work with the demons haha.

His face is mostly changed now, I'd be interested to find out if anyone else can recognize him. (Maybe with the power of love?)

10 10/14/2025, 4:37:29 PM

I need to see more Mingyan/Hualing because omg I ship them so hard. Liu Mingyan is so 🥰

11 10/14/2025, 4:48:58 PM

The side characters discussing the wild theories of what really happened between Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe have no idea how close they really are lol.

"Love gave birth to hate" - soooo close!!!

12 10/14/2025, 5:15:07 PM

The fact that Shen Qingqiu would rather believe that Binghe is asexual than admit that he loves him is just....aaarrgghnn

This series is frustratingly good at this misunderstanding masochistic tango

13 10/14/2025, 5:25:49 PM

Awww they finally kissed 🥹

14 10/14/2025, 5:36:43 PM

I'm not surprised that Luo Binghe is still clinging to SQQ's old corpse, but I'm impressed that it lasted this long.

Do immortals not decay or rot even when dead?

15 10/14/2025, 6:09:23 PM

Wow Shen Qingqiu can't escape the yaoi even at a brothel lol.

Also we met the snake friend from earlier! Zhuzhi-lang is cute

16 10/14/2025, 6:26:56 PM

Wow he finally revealed himself, Binghe really played Shen Qingqiu this time

17 10/14/2025, 6:43:07 PM

Also Shang Qinghua immediately giving up SQQ secrets is so funny. MASTER AIRPLANE DOES NOT CARE

18 10/14/2025, 8:26:06 PM

Okay why would anyone need Shen Qingqiu's old body?? Now that's just weird.

I meant to take my time reading these books, but I tore through this one in basically 2 days. Guess I'm just in the mood for this type of masochistic yaoi melodrama.

SQQ still hasn't realized that he has feelings for Binghe, but tbh he's also firmly convinced he's straight, so I'll allow it.

I might not write the blog post today since I'm kinda tired, maybe tomorrow!

19 10/14/2025, 8:30:52 PM

Also halfway into the series, here are my current ships:

Liu Qingge/SQQ (doomed)
Luo Binghe/SQQ
Gongyi Xiao/SQQ (😭)
Liu Mingyan/Sha Hualing (yay for yuri)
Mobei Jun/Shang Qinghua (this one is cheating cause I've seen the fanart)

Also:
SQQ/Strangling Airplane's neck lol




Volume 3

I got Volume 3 of from the library, so time for another liveblog!

2 10/21/2025, 4:55:35 PM

Shen Qingqiu's house arrest just started, and he's already wondering where Luo Binghe is after telling him to piss off 🤣

Also Shen Yuan's sister seems to read pretty hardcore BL. How would he know the contents if he's supposedly never read it 🧐

3 10/21/2025, 5:00:05 PM

Love to see the SQQ quick draw on Master Airplane lmaooo.

Shang Qinghua, someday someone will appreciate you.

4 10/21/2025, 5:16:39 PM

😞 I think I know what SQQ/Shen Jiu's secret backstory is, based on the way he reacted to Luo Binghe...

5 10/23/2025, 8:25:39 PM

Tianlang-Jun saying hi from inside the coffin is so funny to me, especially since he was just answering SQQ! SQQ, where are your manners, that's your future father in law!

6 10/23/2025, 8:26:47 PM

OMG he's hot 😳

7 10/23/2025, 9:00:47 PM

How did Binghe figure out where SQQ was? I hope they end up explaining it.

I feel bad for how much he's suffered, he doesn't even know that Zhuzhi-lang and Tianlang-Jun are his family! Not that it would make anything any better.

8 10/23/2025, 9:23:17 PM

LMAO all the characters in SVSSS are done with the will they/won't they dance of Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu 🤣 even Senior Meng Mo has had it up to here.

I'm waiting for SQQ to try the kiss that wakes up the princess/Binghe

9 10/23/2025, 9:34:43 PM

Damn, the old palace master got the original SQQ's fate...

Edit: He DEFINITELY deserves it though

10 10/23/2025, 10:03:38 PM

Oh I forgot about the blood that SQQ drank, that's how they tracked him down.

Can't believe he's now got 3 GPS trackers inside himself. poor guy is really suffering from success here (being popular with demons).

11 10/23/2025, 10:04:52 PM

Time to add Tianlang-Jun and Zhuzhi-lang to the SQQ bowl, they already have him under their control 👀

12 11/1/2025, 1:16:22 PM

I wish I could see the scene where SQQ is trying to hide Binghe from Zhuzhi-lang animated, it's so funny 🤣 literally slapstick comedy!

13 11/1/2025, 1:23:40 PM

This is probably my fav illustration in the whole series so far lmaoooo

An illustration of Shen Qingqiu in a compromising position on top of Zhuzhi-lang while Tianlang-Jun watches, both of them hiding Luo Binghe from Tianlang-Jun's sight.
14 11/1/2025, 1:24:56 PM

I love that Tianlang-Jun is a shipper himself.

15 11/1/2025, 2:10:11 PM

I'm glad someone was able to call out the hypocrisy of forcing Su Xiyan into an impossible situation. Her superior was a disgusting bastard, and she may have felt something for Tianlang-Jun after spending so much time with him.

The sect just used and discarded her, and then they have the gall to badmouth her for her sacrifice. 🤬

I'm glad that guy got turned into a stick and died the way he did.

16 11/1/2025, 2:21:04 PM

Liu Qingge and Yue Qingyuan are such solid allies for Shen Qingqiu 😭 they always back him up even if they don't understand him.

17 11/3/2025, 11:29:35 AM

SQQ's punishment is just going to set the relationship back by so much... I know it would be weird, but I wish SQQ just came clean about why he's so hot/cold on Binghe. He needs the reassurance that the current Binghe wouldn't turn him into a stick (hopefully?).

18 11/3/2025, 12:07:47 PM

Aww their reunion was so sweet.

19 11/5/2025, 4:45:49 PM

Wow the climactic battle started, and they got to the boss right way quicker than expected. I guess I'm glad we skipped to the good part haha

20 11/5/2025, 4:46:51 PM

Omg Mobei-jun saved Shang Qinghua from Zhuzhi's snakes awww

21 11/5/2025, 5:04:11 PM

Holy shit yandere!Binghe is real...

22 11/5/2025, 5:08:57 PM

Shang Qinghua running to save Mobei-jun from falling to his death...Moshang is so canon 😭

23 11/5/2025, 5:19:16 PM

There are so many crazy reveals happening right now, I'm blown away...

24 11/5/2025, 5:48:20 PM

Okay I have some things to say about the very painful dubcon scene between Bingqiu.

They're all OUCH, WHY, and OH MY GOD IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY???!!

I get that Shen Yuan has no idea how gay sex works but jfc they probably didn't even need to go that far if they just needed to have contact to draw away the demonic qi.

Also somehow this scene reminds me of Brokeback Mountain.

25 11/5/2025, 5:49:18 PM

Also, also, I cried at the Yue Qingyuan reveal. It makes so much sense and it just breaks my heart. I hope he's alright.

No, he better be alright!!!

26 11/5/2025, 5:50:29 PM

The system revealing that the genre changed....I can't wait for him to figure out it's danmei 🤣

27 11/5/2025, 5:54:30 PM

Not Bingqiu being fished out of the Luo river together by Liu Qingge 😂 poor Mu Qingfang would have had to treat ALL of Shen Qingqiu's injuries, even the dubcon ones.

28 11/5/2025, 6:07:11 PM

It's interesting that the final plot of SVSSS is exactly what Airplane intended 🧐🏳️‍🌈

29 11/5/2025, 6:24:28 PM

Yayyy we reached the end! I'm sad about Zhuzhi-lang not surviving, despite everything he did he really only wanted to help Tianlang-Jun.

Also of course Yue Qingyuan survived 😤
