After Being Transported into a Book, I Adopted the Villain

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When Shen Yu woke up, he had accidentally gone into a ridiculous dog-blood novel.

In the novel, he is an unfortunate cannon fodder character:

– dead father and mother

– his fiancée had run away

– he is disabled (in a wheelchair)

– he lives a lonely life in a 20,000-square foot mansion.

Later, in order to compete for the female lead, he died under the opposition.

In order to save his life, Shen Yu had to stay as far away as possible from the leading and supporting roles and concentrate on enjoying the luxury life.

As a result, one day, the servant brought a 10-year-old villain with bruised eyes: “Sir, this is the orphan of Tang’s family.”

Shen Yu: “…”

Shen Yu decided to adopt the small villains and change his fate.

Ten Years Later.

The villain pushed Shen Yu to the corner: “Who is that woman?”

Shen Yu: “… Who do you say?”

The villain: “The woman who seduced you at last night’s banquet!”

Shen Yu: “…”

The villain: “Hehe, I’m going to kill her.”

Shen Yu: “My son… That’s the female lead you forgot by the lake…”

The novel was great at the beginning! But poor in the later half.

... more>>
Spoiler

I enjoyed the beginning because the MC was genuinely kind and caring for the ML. He had great qualities, but its really not like that for other people, which I was pretty sad about. The ML was your typical cute and shy kid, and a yanderer, and really likes the MC. It was very heart-warming to read

But later on when ML is 16 and reveals everything, things start to go downhill. The elegant fatherly image of the MC is instantly shatters. He becomes so muddle-headed, and embarrassing. The ML became really flirty and bold. The complete opposite of what was set up at the beginning.

[collapse]

And regarding the og protagonist of the novel that the MC transmigrated into:

Spoiler

MC treats him wearily at first, which is totally understandable because of his standing with the villain. But he becomes unreasonable when he shows rejection to him because of ML's childish jealousy. The og protagonist had a similar backstory to ML which makes readers sympathize with him. Its disappointing how MC wasn't kind to him despite that.

If this boy is not a reborn character, then I dont know anymore.

When reading such story of age gap, and the making of 'hikaru genji', I alw perplpexed.

When you're 10yo, and alone, nobody there for you, and then you get second chance of happiness, got adopted. Who would not be possesive and obsessed with the one bringing you happiness?

After all, a child mind is easy to mold and when you're an orphan, love, admiration are thin as paper.

I thought the premise sounded fantastic, but the story just ended up disappointing me. I couldn't connect to any of the characters. So many of them simply aren't believable. Children do not behave as children do--for the young, abused ML who clearly has a number of behavioral/personality disorders, I can buy it, but even side characters are cruel and calculating in a way children of their age shouldn't be capable of. I don't know if the author has ever interacted with kids, but real children don't behave like adult sociopaths... more>> in little kids' bodies as often as they do in this story. The ML is also super manipulative and unhealthily possessive from a couple chapters in, which at first I accepted because of his troubled background and actually thought made his character more grey and interesting. I'd hoped this could be a humorous but touching story of growth and healing between this lost and hurt ML and the unconditionally loving MC, but I could later sense that it was just going to lead into another unhealthy, controlling, manipulative, and frankly abusive relationship between mean, icy ML and soft, delicate flower MC, and I'm really sick of that trope by now. (I actually dropped it before their relationship could really develop, so I could be wrong about that direction, but I honestly doubt it!) The MC also seemed like a kind and funny guy to start with, but I was so turned off by the way he
Spoiler

coldly turns his back on the male protagonist, who also happens to be a tragic, abused, lonely (and manipulative and creepy, because every abused kid turns out to be a tiny sociopath, duh) child who really badly needs affection.

[collapse]
Side characters pop in and out but are forgettable and honestly don't do much for the story. Other than my issue with the characters, I can't really remember much of a plot at all, so I guess I can't comment on that. <<less

I'm here bcs I'm looking for MC raising ML just to be eaten after trope. What matter the most for me when reading a novel is the flow, reasoning and how scene takes place.

Honestly I spent 2/3 time reading this confused about what's happening, how could this scene lead to that scene, especially in earlier chapter.

It's either the writing or the flow management or it's just my common sense isn't right or my common sense and author is different lol.

... more>> Interesting things I picked up :

MC loves and dote on ML, but not the type my child is the best it's impossible he did bad things what ppl said. MC sees through ML's scheme and pretend even as a child, MC always remind himself that ML is the villain and ML can be cruel and fierce. So it's interesting to see their dynamic when ML is still a child, since MC knows his true color but still accomodate him. (Beside the motive he want to survive by picked up ML)

My biggest complaint :

MC's character/personality. Sigh.

If you're looking for perfect, stable, reliable MC, then don't read this novel hahaha. He's flawed and it's understandable bcs he's human, recently transmigrated, worry about his future, don't have the qualification to run a company and author can write anything they want. MC's shortcomings doesn't masked/wrapped nicely, it's just there and you can see it from start till the end. I thought it was interesting since I've read mary sue and perfect MC lately. But smh it's bother me that this part of MC doesn't has any redemption or improvement.
Spoiler

I feel distressed for the company and grandpa Shen. At some point later in the story, grandpa Shen said MC become more immature and I agree lol.

[collapse]
It's weird to set MC as incompetent CEO (just to make a reason why he's rich and can do what he did) and his grandpa is okay with that and how this company doesn't collapse until 10 years later.

They can make a good and interesting story, based on 2 points above. But personally in this novel as the output I don't like the writing and story flow (how some scene happened are just not smooth). Feels like many missing things and the current information we have isn't strong enough. <<less

At first I was reading the chapters. Then it became flipping through the chapters. When I reach chp 28, I decided to stop wasting my time and stop reading. From the summary, it does sounds interesting. But when just glancing the details leaves me questioning the MC's IQ. And there's so much plot holes.

[collapse]
I started to just loose interest.

that event was really the turning point for me.
Spoiler

After that, MC soon became really weak and cliché and dependent on his little chestnut. I thought it was cute in the beginning, how the 'villain' as a child changed and learned and grew but at the end I just lost all interest. even his assistant points out how negligent and unproductive he's been with his company (?) after the ML arrived. I do understand it's because he's transmigrated, but at least make an effort to try please? MC spouts all this about planning sh*t after knowing the company will go bankrupt-- but he still goes and dotes on chestnut and only takes care of his bakery instead of doing that...

[collapse]

It became cliché and dramatic, and all the hype it had been building up from the beginning just shattered. <<less

At first, it was fun, but included later. Shen yu start staring at things around one side too attached to the old character, there is no thought development for the character. It makes me feel terrible about Shen yu and Tang li because Shen yu and Tang li sees only his own difficulties. Think or speak like you've passed the world to be neutral. But the opposite action encourages your Tang li bad habits without admonishing them. Poor Yi Heng as well. The villain in the story of the role... more>> crab looks pathetic, but the truth is that he's acting bad in the role crab, but the truth is worse than Yi Heng. Sadly, it's a good use of words, but some of the characters are so good at the latter, the script is so bad that it's unbelievable and won't be read again. <<less

I liked the MC. He isnt omnipotent like most transmigrators. He's just a simple pastry chef way in over his head. The ML was a bit scary at the start but he adjusted his dere level to satisfactory levels. Personally I liked it. Thanks to foxaholic for picking it up

this story had an interesting premise and it could have been really good, but...

ridiculous plot twists

... more>> the Daddy fo-in*est trope always makes my skin crawl (though not unexpected in this case, given the title)

on the plus side; I have no problem with the age difference since most of the b-g romances on this site the woman is 18-20 and the man is in his mid 30's, so I think it's hypocritical to be grossed out by a 9 year age difference in this story but be fine with those.

this is not a story for those of us who like our MCs to have a normal IQ and EQ. <<less

So far the story is not what like the Summary is. Though technically so far the chapter I'm in still less than the '10 years later'. So maybe near the end it would be like the summary? Who knows. Though MC NEVER call ML as his SON.

Anyway.... FVCK! The last chapter im in scaring me so much!!! This is Completely different from many Transmigration into Novel story I have ever read. I'm so worried now... But this also what make it unique. ... more>>
Spoiler

MC's existence starting to fade. 😱😭

[collapse]

Also, no, I DON'T GET WHY THIS HAS LOW RATING!!! If you dislike the Age Gap, you should have never read it from the start since the Summary and the Title itself already mentioned the Age and Status difference between MC and ML.

The story itself was pretty good. The Characters is also good even with their flaws and all. I'm just going to pray the rest of the story is as Good and someone would continue Translate this novel!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 <<less

This is one of the good books, not all people can accept cause its different.

Please DO NOT read comments talking about sh*t and read it.

Yes it has plot holes but its definitely better than those copy paste book transmigration "with no plot holes"... Its a genuine deal.

... more>> The plotline is very unique. And it certainly deserves better ratings. Thats why I'm giving 5 stars instead 4.

Oh BTW the 2nd part of the description/summary thingy is useless. It doesn't happen in this book at all.

Author could have strech it a little more. 100 around chs would have been better. Still again lot better than cliche book transmigration. <<less

Tbh, Idk why this novel has a low rating. Obviously, the tag has warned us. It's not like the ML abused the MC or whatsoever. The ML is not that yandere compared to other novels that is much worse. He didn't r*pe, confined or even do anything that harmed the MC. He respected the MC very much and love him so much.

The ending is a bit rushed but its okay. Its just a simple story. I love both of them. The MC is nice tho and even though he's lacking... more>> he tried to compensate it. He never been a parent so I couldn't blame him. He may be spoiling the ML but what's wrong with that. <<less

Really feels good novel. I dont get why people give 3 and lower or are dissatisfied with the ML and MC. I like how sticky they are together and also how they progress together. Can't wait for the ending!

I like these type of possessive ml's most of the time but in this story I feel the characters both MC and ML are very flat.

I can't think of anything I like about our MC - Shen Yu, he is only focused on Tang Li and sometimes (?) his bakery. I feel he's kinda useless

ML is very young, he is hardworking but he's a big fat liar. He hides almost everything about his life and keeps lying to gain pity form our MC.

Tbh I also felt little bit annoyed bc... more>> of his possessiveness in some early chapters. <<less

Good novel..

I actually finish reading this one by MTLing all the chapters that hasn't been translated yet. It hooked me up.. There is no force s*x or dubious consent, but the s*x scene appear only in the last chapter, so if you are looking for smuts specifically, this one is not for you.

At first, I thought it was a fluffy shallow novel (during the initial child rearing part), but then I realized that the novel was more complicated. The MC is a villain... who kinda manipulates the MC, haha. Instead of the MC being dumb, I'd like to say he's pretty normal, but the villain's too high IQ for him.

I'm honestly glad that the villain's actually a villain. Most authors fail to portray their 'villains' as actually villain-like, especially if it's a young child being adopted by the MC.

Overall tbe story is pretty sweet. But I don't like how they forced the main plot on, I felt that It was unnecessary and ruined the vibe of the whole story. The MC and ML will have a little bit of angst misunderstandings but they eventually get over it. Eitherways It was a fun read. The author-nim could have not rushed to ending the story abruptly like that. It gives off an uneasy cliff hanger kind of vibe. Though still I'll rate this novel a 9/10.

At the beginning of the book, I had really enjoyed reading this. Although "MC raising a cub villain" isn't really my troupe, I still found the plot really interesting that I couldn't stop reading it, and I especially love how the overall narrations was an easy read.

The little Villain arc was my favorite. The MC and ML were very cute together. MC is such a caring, doting, and protective big brother to ML; While ML is those typical scheming ML who would do any means, even by committing a crime,... more>> just so he could always stay together with MC forever.

Is it strange for a 11 year old kid to be mature, scheming and evil? For me, No. Why? Because he's made like that, he's one of the most important person in that book hence he should be made different.

After the huge timeskip, and ML is now a grown up villain, it was then I immediately found things unbearable to read. This isn't about me disliking the brave-MC-turned-weak-MC, because it's pretty reasonable. But it's about how the plot turned bland for me, and sometimes confusing, that I slowly lose the fun into reading it.

I actually felt bad because I really enjoyed reading the book from the beginning. The plot used to be exciting and thrilling; The little ML drinking vinegar is the cutest thing; The little ML fulfilling his villainous character is the coolest thing. (I can't understand why everybody is hating him for it, isn't cleared by the MC that he was already an abnormal kid to begin with and is made to be a 'villain' through and through?) ; And the MC being an overprotective parent to little ML.

Then somehow, MC lose his IQ, and the grown-up ML somehow lose his villain aura and instead turned into a sticky puppy, which is such a huge bummer.

One of the worsest thing is when ML revealed his romantic feelings towards MC to an admirer, and MC just casually accepted it without having struggles or thinking common sense things in this situation. Perhaps because MC was at it's vulnerable state at that time, and is terribly missing ML, that he just accepted ML's feelings even if he should've felt weirder for it at the beginning.

oh well.... setting asides those, even if I stopped reading halfway, it was still such a fun ride. The little Villain arc was very wholesome and thrilling, that I felt depressed when the plot turned bland in the future chapters. Still, I thought that this story still deserved my 4 stars. <<less

3.75/5*

I give this story full 5* till chapter 50+ orso. The characters, cp and all the scenes were well written and fleshed out. Pacing was good. Afterwards it went downhill. I'm not sure if switching to a new translator also have something to do with it.

The whole feel and plot just differ so much after 50 chapters orso. It became so different.

ML went back to his old family, seeking revenge, MC went bankrupt. There were also fantastical elements like MC becoming transparent because he was transmigrated.

. It fees like the author unnecessarily complicated the story by adding all these plot developments.

I just diagonally skimmed through the last 30 chapters and lost interest. So, I may have missed a few things. Too bad. Such promising first 2/3 of the story!!!

Btw I was totally fine with yandere ML and didn't care MC was his guardian. I'm reading a light novel BL story. This kind of settings is why I read BL. <<less
