Description

When I read the development of the heroine getting stolen away, I left a malicious comment to the author.

But then I woke up later, and I’m now the villain who is supposed to steal the heroine.

So far so good! I like the characters and every one of them (MC/heroines) have potential for good future development. The writing is well done and only reason I give 4/5 is because of some personal preferences that I know not everyone will share with me. Still this is one of the better finds for me in recent years in the fantasy category. I especially enjoy the villanous MC that is still relatable because of his OCD.

Keep going translator! This is one of those novels I would love to binge... more>> read so I wouldn't forget the finer details from previous interactions between characters. <<less

So far I've enjoyed my time with this novel. The story is less about the MC stealing heroines (but that does happen) and its more about being stuck in circumstances you can't control. Basically every major character has this idea behind their backstory.
Spoiler

MC has quite literal insane levels of OCD, his wife is trapped in a marrage with the MC for reasons related to her family, another heroine has a soul that turns her to a psycopath, and another has her legs broken being stuck in a wheelchair.

[collapse]

The translator is really good, so you can enjoy a quality translation that flows rather neatly.

Its not for everyone as the depictions in the story can be harsh for the people reading, so proceed with caution if you'd like to start.

While it does have some flaws, in that the perspective change quite a bit which makes the pace slow at times. Some of the things the MC does is quite unrelatable and strange. The major conflicts in the story haven't started but have been foreshadowed after 30 chapters. These flaws dont hide a a good story about characters trying to overcome their personal demons and trying to become comfortable in said circumstances.

When I first started reading, it was for the game elements but the story line is actually pretty good. I've tried reading a lot of the heroine with the villain MC genre, and I didn't enjoy them. This one however with the main character's extreme OCD is quite interesting, yet quite frustrating sometimes when it comes to his wife. I wish he'd tell her he has OCD so it can be explained that he isn't a complete a**hole who has to slap you if you slap him. Nevertheless, the OCD... more>> with the aristocratic story line is quite unique and makes for an interesting read.

The translation is quite kinda slow but that's my fault for being spoiled having daily chapters every day. The translation quality is great and is worth the wait of chapters.

Overall, you should definitely read it. Although I'm not sure about later chapters because it's only 28 chapters released at the moment but its in my daily check folder for novels <<less

Writing/Editing is really good. Honestly not sure where the story is going, but I definitely want a lot more. I will update my review in time once I get a better idea of what the story will be about.

MC's OCD is the funniest plot point I've ever seen in this genre. It is a stroke of genius and absolutely wonderful. The OCD compulsion justifies MC's cruel tendencies, so it also is a neat solution for many weakminded authors who don't actually want to write sadistic MCs even though they voluntarily and inexplicably choose to write in that genre.

At the same time, I wish the female lead was more of a human being with thoughts and feelings than soggy cardboard. I wish the author had a tasteful reason for... more>> having so much of the story being other women and MC flirting even though the entire premise of the story is how he's so madly in love with the female lead he forced her to marry him. I wish the dialogue sounded like humans conversing, especially between the two main characters. I wish the "sex" scenes... didn't exist. Honestly I just wish the author was competent.

Edit: After reading some more there is actually something to note. There are abusive aspects of the relationship which are genuinely abusive, a rarity in this genre. It even reads like an abusive man's wet dream, complete with the "he r*ped her but she liked it" trope. MC emphasizes isolating his victim so she has has no choice but to depend on him, as well as doing everything he can to destroy her sense of self worth, including r*pe and assault. At the same time, the author contrasts this by also painting him as a gentle, kind lover who spares no penny to lavish her with wealth and luxury. There is one part where MC apologizes to her, and she is very surprised at his apology. It's funny how it's implied that MC is such a nice guy for displaying the bare minimum of decency. The novel frames these acts of basic decency as if it justifies his "tough love, " and the girl starts to fall in love with MC because of it. "Yes he kidnapped and abused me, but he loves me so it's okay."

I often complain about how weakminded authors write "sadistic" characters because they want to be edgy, but these "sadistic" characters turn out to be fake sadists who are genuinely nice people. So on principle I have to give this guy credit for halfway delivering.

But why is it always that, in these stories and in real life, these men aim to dominate weak willed, s*upid, and dull women? The female lead is a waste of space with no merit except for having a sufficiently symmetrical appearance for MC. All she does is mope around; she doesn't even try to escape or negotiate with MC. I know in real life the preference for such women is because these abusive men recognize that they are worthless and can't do better, but at least in fiction you can dream a little can't you? You don't have to go as far as writing a strong female lead who teaches MC how to be a decent human being, but isn't the entire point of the fantasy that you're supposed to tame an intelligent, wild girl and show her off as a trophy of your conquest? The harder she is to tame, the shinier the trophy? This is even worse from the storytelling perspective. Instead of being a tension filled, controversial relationship, their every interaction and dialogue is boring and a pain to read. I think the author realizes this on some level because as the story progresses the female "lead" character shows up less and less.

That said, it's unfair to expect good writing from the author when he writes dialogue like this:

Spoiler

Click-clack.

I paused for a moment when the owner of those footsteps made herself visible.

Unlike usual, Yurial wasn't wearing the traditional wizard garb but a white blouse combed with a black skirt that reached her knees.

"Hey you, just say hello or nod with your head. Don't just freeze when you see someone. It's bothersome."

I haven't even said anything or done anything to you.... yet.

And the first thing you do when you see me is to start bickering with me.

'Is it that time of the month....?'

Hmm, she is certainly on edge today, so it's possible.

"Hey, you pe*vert, why are you gawking at my belly?"

"Since you are particularly annoyed today, I thought it must've been that time of the month for you."

"Wha..... I can't believe this...!"

"If it isn't, then explain it to me. Why are you annoying me first thing in the morning? Are you in such a desperate need of attention?"

"Ah....."

As I stared at her, Yuriel flinched and lowered her head, probably because she had nothing to say to me.

"Sigh..... That's enough. It's becoming tiresome to even talk to you."

Sighing, Ferzen passed by the still frozen woman and went down to the first floor of the Administrative Building - the department office.

[collapse]

tl;dr Other than the OCD part there isn't anything about this novel worth complimenting. I love WNs and their many wacky genre but I'll just have to read actual books instead of whining that amateur writers produce amateur products. <<less

The Villain Who Robbed the Heroines follows a protagonist who has transmigrated into the body of Ferzen, the villain in a novel called "Struggling to Survive Together." Ferzen possesses some disturbing characteristics including sadistic tendencies. The reviews indicate that the true appeal of the novel is in the incredibly detailed development of the main character Ferzen and his psychological struggles with identity after the transmigration.

Ferzen's symmetric obsessive compulsive disorder, stemming from the author's own experiences, adds a gripping realism and complexity to his characterization. He maintains an aristocratic and cold... more>> demeanor, not allowing anyone to cross him. The initial arc dealing with his identity crisis is described as painful but leading to an excellent payoff as his character evolves. Ferzen was voted Protagonist of the Year in a contest, speaking to his unconventional but surprisingly compelling attributes as a main character.

However, other reviews pointed out that his cruel behavior towards the female lead he forces into marriage can be off-putting and hard to justify despite his psychological conditions. Some found the constant focus on his OCD tendencies repetitive. The fusion of his original villain personality with the transmigrated modern personality is not executed clearly.

In summary, The Villain Who Robbed the Heroines seems to feature a remarkably well-developed albeit morally questionable protagonist dealing with a rare psychological disorder. For readers who enjoy dark stories with complex character studies, Ferzen's journey to understand himself could make for an engrossing read. But those adverse to disturbing content and questionable treatment of female characters may want to stay away. The unconventional premise and main character appear to be either a big draw or a big deterrent depending on personal preferences. <<less

First of all the MC is an evil person, debatedly not by choice but a matter of circumstance like his OCD with symmetry being the driving force of almost all evil acts he committed, so I won't really recommend this web novel to those with tastes that can be categorized to vanilla category and people with soft nature. The story itself can be depressing considering how pitiful almost all the characters were, particularly the women in the MC's harem. Heroine#1 got Stockholm Syndrome, Heroine#2 was raised and prepared to be... more>> the MC's wife but ended up as a mistress, Heroine#3 was a reincarnated person with a curse that makes her wacky every full moon. Well, I think I just understated their circumstances. Anyway, the thing that appealed to me in this novel is that the MC doesn't justify what he had done and instead wholeheartedly accepted that it was evil, he was also decisive and was willing to bear the consequences of his actions. He was truly villain—a fact that he fully embraced, not because he chose to be one but because he needs to, or rather forced to. <<less

The best adult novel I have read for the past 6 years since I began reading novel. Its not like hentai, its also not a love romance, its a serious novel. The adult scene is just like a way to dominate and tame the heroine. The MC did it as he always think its for the best for his uncontrolled desease.

I dont feel h**ny reading it, instead I become more into the role of each character felt.

The story is similar like other the like of popular school professor knovel, but... more>> this one gave me the most indepth experience of all.. Im sure I will remember this novel for a long time.

It is also the first time, I see MC family "brother" has a significant role on supporting MC and story building. Finally a breakthrough from standard always "sister". <<less

In my honest opinion the novel is great, with the main reason being its character development. The main character seems cold and emotionless at times, but also extremely caring and kind at others. The side characters aren't your everyday generic type, and have interesting personality changes throughout the novel.

The only downside is that the novel does contain some dark elements, mostly stuff messing with peoples minds. It also has some content like r*pe that could trigger some people, but if that stuff doesn't bother you too much I think its... more>> a great read. <<less

Just my thoughts not a serious review.

Its good for the most part. I enjoyed it quite a bit actually. One of my gripes though is the
harem... I love me some harems but this one for the most part is annoying. Don't get me wrong I love the girls here its just they don't get along at all, Hardly interact or even talk to each other the whole story except when they bad mouth each other in their thoughts. I guess its kind of realistic with jealousy and all that... more>> but still come on...

Spoiler

Another con is how horrible he treats Lizzie. She's one of my favorites but 240 chapters and its pretty much been negative reactions. I understand he knows she wont forgive him and he doesn't deserve forgiveness either. However he helps her then immediately does something horrible to her. There actually might be some redemption in the last 10 chapters with what's coming up but I wanted more.

But boy is there a plot twist towards the end. Especially when you learn about what those hidden status meant at the beginning of the novel. Wonder how it'll end.

I bought Novelpia but unfortunately haven't been able to get past the age verification to read the last 10 chapters and its killing me!!! <<less

This is a very good novel to read.

At first it has the same feels with the villain who wants to live or Fersen is like Deculein with additional f*** up quirk like his OCD and shits.

But later in this story which is currently, Im chapter 60 right now is that Fersen stays true to himself, unlike Deculein midway that he changed his mind for the person he cares. While Fersen is not bending his will and do everything to stay as character even if he is suffering like being stabbed... more>> in the chest etc.

Of all the korean novels that I read this is my favorite. <<less

A mature novel with twisted MC. Inside the MC reside two thought, a Korean civilian and the original villain who has severe symmetrical OCD. Both are influencing the action of the MC with the OCD as an absolute factor.

I personally don't like the MC. I also don't like how the story goes. But, the translator made a superb translation to get me hooked at the story.

I mean, objectively speaking, this story is so elaborate about the struggle in mental illness within that kind of society. Should I blame the translator... more>> for making the story interesting? I mean, if this is MTL, I can read and get bored. But, the translation does convey the story well.

Lol. I don't know anymore. <<less

This is one of the best novels with villain MC that I have ever read.

The MC is an absolute Chad villain. And even the heroines are great with real emotions. They add a certain depth to the story.

And as other comments have mentioned this novel is not for the faint of the heart as MC commits a lot of disgusting evil deeds.

I definitely recommend this novel to everyone who loves a villain MC.

This a very well written story.

The MC is smart, rational and kinda insane. He is restricted by the old characters condition of being perfect.

It's a little similar to The villain wants to live. If you liked that you'll also like this novel.
The characters aren't one dimensional bafoons. They're thinking for themselves what's in their best interest or to their characteristics. The world and story is slowly being set. Let's see where it takes us.

Yeah no. Y'all be scratching your eyes out especially past chapter 200. It gets harder to read the nearer you get to the ending.

All these premise of realism ironically makes it borderline unrealistic. It's well written enough but the plot becomes progressively illogical and doesn't make any sense at all lol.

If you're bored in life and just want some negative stimulus. This novel would provide it for you.

The Villain Who Robbed the Heroines depicts deeply problematic and unethical relationships. The main character is an abusive, controlling villain who blackmails and degrades the female lead. His behavior is inexcusable, even if partially explained by his OCD and motives of self preservation.

The so-called "romance" in this story appeals only to a minority that find abuse entertaining. The way the female lead is treated is disgusting and turns her into a victim unable to escape. The main character gaslights her into thinking she deserves this treatment.

While the premise had potential... more>> to explore interesting psychological concepts like OCD, the MC has no redeeming qualities and it's impossible to empathize with someone so cruel. This novel romanticizes abuse, misogyny, and coercion. The female lead is robbed of her agency and self-worth. Even if she consents, the power imbalance strips any notion of a loving partnership.

For these reasons, I cannot recommend this novel to any readers looking for a deep story filled with rich characters. At best, this is a guilty pleasure for degenerates. <<less
