Synopsis

(There is no female lead, though the protagonist may marry in some mini-worlds. The whole book is fictional, so please don’t overthink it. Some characters may not be scum in the traditional sense. Chu Ci’s attitude toward the mini-worlds changes slightly in Chapter 84.)

After Chu Ci died, he became a disembodied consciousness in a place filled with light. Only when he reached out and touched it did he realize the light was made up of one world after another. Upon entering each mini-world, he discovered that his original self was a scumbag. Some instinct told him he had to make up for the wrongs that self had done. Only later did he realize that they were all him, and that he was atoning for the mistakes he had made in his other lives. By the time he had traveled through every world, he looked back and found he had become a god.

First World: The “saintly” cultivator of an immortal world, whose selfish whim led to the death of a nine-tailed celestial fox and the world’s destruction.

Second World: The ungrateful younger brother of a celebrity, a scumbag who exploited his paralyzed sister for profit before abandoning her.

Third World: The underworld heiress’s lovesick dog, whose whole family died tragically.

Fourth World: A merfolk guard who betrayed a princess for personal gain.

Male-Lead Quick Transmigration

Ideally, a satisfying story about taking down scumbags, with no romance. I don't want the whole plot to be about making amends to the girls the original host hurt. It'd be better if the protagonist helps people they personally wronged, whether it's a sect, their parents, children, friends, or even a stranger.

Looking for Books Like Ji Changze

Looking for books like Quick Transmigration: I'm Really a Good Man. I've read pretty much all the quick transmigration stories with male leads by Tang Zhong Mao and Tang Wei Shuai, some of them twice. I've also read similar ones on Tomato and reread those too. I just want more of the same kind, without focusing too much on the romance.
