A Smile from the Villain

Description

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

As a person who transmigrated into a novel written by himself, Qin Kaiyi experiences a huge pressure and burden.

Even more so, he transmigrated as the villain and is forced to follow the plot. Qin Kaiyi expresses that he doesn’t want to write novels anymore.

Qin Kaiyi: “WTF. transmigrating into the villain and being forced to follow the plot. Just let it be. Shen Feixiao, can you get the f*ck down from my body???”

Shen Feixiao: “Shixiong, I won’t.”

Alright, actually this is just a s*upid story about transmigrating into his own novel as the villain and getting pushed down by his own protagonist.

First of all I want to say to anyone who thinks about reading this novel READ THE TAGS
This is not a fluffy romance with possessive ML! And the shou is straight so ig you see where I'm going with this : there is no love.
The thing I love most about this novel is the side characters and stories especially Yan Gu and his friendship with our MC (very funny, sweet and light hearted), within the dark themes of this novel and all the angst these characters feel like... more>> a breeze of air it helps u breathe a bit.
There also the MCs reasonable and realistic personality and his hilariously freaky inner monologue which helped me digest everything that i've read.

And what I hated was the ENDING. No matter what it was terrible, extremely terrible,
Spoiler

i wasn't asking for some "romance" but the author should have stopped it when the MC and ML died and gave us a bit more information about the side story

[collapse]
All in all it was good read until the end, I will give it 3 stars for the side characters +1 star for the MC <<less

I won't make this too long. This novel will definitely make you feel uncomfortable, however, it will also make you thought about the characters' personality and the situation.

It's like telling you a different kind of love. You don't need love to live, but it became necessary in your life.

ML was obsessed with MC because he was 'saved' and he is more of a logic thinker. He can remove MC out of his life, but he (ML) would think about him (MC) everyday especially when he couldn't get MC in the... more>> other world.

This sort of obsession, ML might as well kill MC or lock him up. Because it will be annoying if you think about them everyday. <<less

Spoiler

the MC maintained being straight till the end lol (except in the ending). I love how he got traumatized because I'm tired of MCs who fall in love easily to their captors like wtf, have some pride.

[collapse]
But, of course this is only limited in fiction. I don't support this kind of action in reality. So please, please, please!! See the tags CAREFULLY before reading this.

Hmm the ML is really maaad deym. I love insane MLs partner it with a straight MC shou I really love it!

Also, I thank the translators. The translation is superb! Thank you so much for your hard work! ^^ <<less

I am telling you right now; no matter what anybody says, there is no way this could be considered HE. I really liked this actually. The beginning especially, but maybe that's because the plot was a little less convoluted. Like others have said, it is similar to Scum Villain, but that doesn't make it bad. MC I think was actually a really realistic character. He wanted to go home; but at the same time, this was his book. With conflicting efforts, the plot changed and MC's hell was one he... more>> inadvertently created himself. I do have to say, I really don't understand where the heck chapters 89-90 came from, like weird twist I guess. But also in the ending, SFX stayed true to himself which was a little surprising, but not surprising at the same time. ANYWAYS, this in't BE, but it really isn't HE either. It's a little ambiguous, a combination of the two. How can it be BE and HE, you ask? Idk, ask the author, it just is.

EDIT: lmao I just noticed that I thought t was done, but it isn't. Y'all, I flipped bc I was like "what the f*ck kind of ending??" Anywayzz <<less

The story is great it's a deconstruction of the specific genre of messed up ways people can bump uglies with the transmigration system genre.
Spoiler

It's about a vulnerable orphan who looks up to MC as a paternal figure, and an MC who is too busy acting as a system marionette and the resulting "parenting" is kind and abusive without discernable rhyme or reason from the orphan kids perspective. Because MC is busy acting out his novel while trying to earn points in order to go home before MC ends up killing him for acting the part. The orphans resulting adult is someone who expresses affection only after confining and controlling the MC's actions so he can no longer randomly hurt him.

[collapse]
If you are just looking for lemons with a cute plot this isn't your story rather it takes that ridiculous yandere lemon and builds the why of it all the whole way through if you want to think and reflect on genre stereotypes this is your story.

This is art and art is subjective. The tags have been added and this should only be read if you are ok with non-con, manipulation. Though readers are entitled to their opinion, they should consider the tags and then read. The story is dark and it has an ending fit for such a dark story. Readers should understand that this is just a story and not real life. Life isn't always about morality and justice. Art is controversial and irrational. The story has questionable topics. The author's intention wasn't to... more>> write a love story, it was to write a dark one. The morality of the story shouldn't be judged as the story has those specific tags. <<less

Ummm... The beginning and middle were great, but the whole Stockholm syndrome imprisonment arc was unnecessarily brutal.
if you’re wondering whether or not you should try this, just be aware that I wouldn’t recommend a reread, and that this novel is basically reader abuse, abusing our good faith in the author.

As others reviewers said. Read the tag before starting this novel.

This novel is a good representation of was is a true yandere. Normally when you see a yandere tag you expect a luo Binghe version but no, the ML is a true yandere. And for the MC I liked how the author expressed it and named the problems caused by a yandere without romantizing it.

... more>>
Spoiler

For example Stockholm syndrome and depression

[collapse]

This novel doesn't have world boulding and some characters may feel that they only appear to make the plot more interesting and dissappear after. Those didn't affect me in these review. I would have liked some explanation but well, I didn't get it.

Spoiler

Only the POV of ziyang pei after their death

[collapse]

Ah also, there are no female characters interesting cuz most of them are just cannofolder

There below are going some of my thoughts of what would I liked

Spoiler
    • I really though that the body of MC will be related to xue xian, you know, when a lie is so spread that it become reality.
    • About that chick that the og qin shi liked, like what happened to the mc's sect under the ML hands?? It survived?
    • What happened with ziyang pei and xue xian?? A one-sidded love?
    • And what about Yan gu and Xue xian?
[collapse]

I liked how this ended even though is unsatisfactory. Only time could help you.

Spoiler

In this case MC became used to the ML and ML has know that only wanted to be with MC. Their relationship is like a benefit relationship? Poor little kid, only five years old and ML is already giving him warning

[collapse]

To end this, the author like to play with dreams and reality. The writing make unable to differ between hallucinations and reality. <<less

Read this if you want to know the true definition of a yandere.

Do not read this if you are looking for romance, this is not your cup of tea.
Spoiler

This is just full blown obsession and their is nothing that people around you that can stop the madness of the ML.

[collapse]

ending
Spoiler

it’s is considered a“happy” ending. As ML just made MC depended on him where scars kinda faded?

Spoiler

anyways really good cast of supporting characters! I actually didn't get bored whenever yandere ML Shen Fei-something is gone since Qin Kai/Shi 's friends like Yan Gu (who has a crow beak somehow jinxes the situation) and Wei He (playboy flirt who at first says stuff like 'i want to top you!" But also will never do anything nonconsensual) brighten up an otherwise really dark story. And yeah I don't really want to spoil too much so that you'll enjoy the little black room chapters like I did.

[collapse]

I also like how the author fleshes out the main character's emotional and psychological state (realistically) :
Spoiler

not only does MC goes through mental breakdowns (with good reason, such as self-defense mu*der or feeling cornered) but the depression (which the ML didn't understand bc mental health is perceived differently in the novel world) and the eventual stockholm syndrome didn't come out of no where (if that makes sense? You'll genuinely sympathize with MC). The author's writing and pacing is so good.

[collapse]

You'd think after everything terrible that happens, it couldn't get even more horrible but haha yep
Spoiler

since MC ends up running around in the palm of ML's hand (HE in my opinion since they have a sweet domestic life hehehe)

[collapse]

but if you're not into that proceed with caution.
Spoiler

ML's obsession carries on from his previous life to the modern world and like whenever he pretends to let the MC go it's actually a trap to bring the MC back to him. It does get funny when he pays a kid and a woman to make the MC's parents misunderstood him as scum hahaha anyways the kid Qin Ziqi is actually adopted to be ML's heir initially. Now BIG SPOILER but the kid is also used as the ML's tool to give MC the illusion they're a family (keeps the MC sane by providing a sense of normalcy now that I think about it...). ML thinks of the kid as a pet (almost like how he treated eggplant sable) and poor kid saw ML and MC sleeping together - actually I won't spoil more lol but you might not know whether to laugh or cry at ML attitude towards MC's son. Kid (who is implied to grow up into a devil probably due to ML's twisted fathering) gets revenge by crying to MC "he said you didn't want me anymore wuwuwu" so like awww good luck to MC for raising a son while having a possessive and jealous hubby hahaha

As a general novel it goes so well, I loved the development of the character dynamics, the slow burn was so satisfying and the male side characters were all so engaging (female characters and the way they were handled was deplorable though but I wasn't surprised tbh)

To address the elephant in the room, I read the tags, I knew what to expect but somehow it still ended hitting a lot harder than I could imagine. Warnings be made it was graphic and very draining. Not blaming anyone but myself... more>> the tags are there. Just be ready

Btw, kudos to the translator they're doing great. <<less

I'm giving this 5* for the side characters and the main lead because of his "love".

I really hope that the group will continue to translate this novel. Because for those who can forget the norms of society, this is another gem that no one wants to discover.

Like other reviewers have mentioned, this is a pure dark tragedy with a HE tag that shows no chemistry between the MC and the ML. Please people, this is the author of the later novel that has the similar taste "我有特殊的高冷技巧".

If you are... more>> really expected an yandere-gong-and-love story, the main couple's plot will seriously disappoint you in many ways because of the haha cause of everything: the big misunderstanding of the characters and readers included. But if you are only expected a tragic life story, then this is for you because EVERY SINGLE CHARACTERS IN HERE IS ALL MISERABLE BECAUSE OF THE MC (well it's much more of the system's and the original written plot's fault aka life). Even I wish that the MC wasn't the MC.

I'm rating this novel 5* for its tragic side and the "romantic" side as well, as the "love" that the ML holds for the MC is basically not love, but a feeling of being depended on someone that you want to trust (like when we were babies asking for toys :D). This kind of "love" is, sadly, very rare to be depicted in stories (#thankyoufastnoodlenovels). The "possessive, yandere, obsessed" elements are only there because of how the ML has lived (#thankyouauthor). <<less

I read it in MTL and was a little confused in some parts, probably skipping the humorous parts, so to me, every part of the story seemed dark or darker. The story ended happy, kind of, it's so hard to explain. All you have to know is that the ML really is a yandere, and a serious one too. All the novels by this author are full of possessiveness or psychotic characters, but I think this one had it tuned in a lot morethan the others... I would recommend it,... more>> it's a good read, but I can't help but feel somewhat sad for the MC for being manipulated the whole time, so brave yourselves before reading this BL novel... <<less

I wish I can go back in time and prevent myself from reading it

This was really, really bad. Its so bad that I cannot fathom to understand why anyone would give this novel more than 2 stars.

Before you hit me with the "It's not for everyone!" "You should've read the tags" "The tags clearly says yandere!", I came into this novel with the expectation of it being a obsessive, red flag and toxic relationship. I've read MANY extremely toxic danmeis (monster, scum villian) but NOTHING was as non-sensical as this. The main character was s*upid, the male lead was s*upid and the side... more>> characters were s*upid. The whole cast was unbelievably unbearable to read. The only redeemable and likeable character was Yan Gu. The writer clearly tried to indicate some sort of past relationship between Yan Gu and The MC's Ancestor (forgot his name) which I was adamantly interested in, but the writer never explains it! They insinuate it maybe every 20 chapters (Yan Gus ears blushing when MC tried to ask about his ancestor) but it leads on the practically nothing.

I kept on reading on the first basis, that ML finding out MCs identity would be interesting, but he doesn't even find out from his own eyes! He just asks his damn pet if he's the masked man or not! The second basis was that the part where ML sees MC after 7 years would be interesting but it wasn't in the slightest. The second arc (where MC goes back to the original world and ML gets reincarnated) was so unbelievably s*upid. I had a sliver of hope that ML would become slightly bearable, but he was the exact same as in the first arc. In a Novel extremely similar to this, Scum villian, The male lead Luo Binghe has possessive and toxic traits, but his character isnt unbearable and is actually well written! His character is comedic due to his constant crocodile tears, which makes the relationship nice to read. I can't say the same for this novel.

I dropped it the 3rd chapter into the second arc. <<less

I’ve read many genre’s and many toxic, twisted novels. But this is totally the most disturbing one in all the bad ways. Those who like it, can like it. Just not me and never will.

It isn’t an exaggeration if I say I never read something that I hated so bad in my whole reading time.

But this one is one of the first ever novels I ever read, haha

All though I didn't like the ending very much but the rest of the story is quite nice. I didn't like what happens to Yan Gu in the story either and he was also my favorite character, still is! Haha all in all, ML is scum and MC is well... He is the villain! What do you expect?

Anyways, this story is messed up, messed up and messed up, it's not that messed up but... more>> we'll.. very gruesome?

Makes you angry after reading, but if after reading you are gonna leave a one star review I suggest you don't read haha <<less

My guilty pleasure are yanderes. And, though I obviously don't agree with it outside of fiction, it's interesting to read stories with confinement, Stockholm Syndrome, obsession, etc... If you don't like these things and can't tolerate them, you will not like this story. This story is f*cked up. But, on to my actual review.

I dislike systems in stories generally and this did not change my mind. It's more enjoyable for me to see a character act without restrictions — especially when they have no way to return to their world. I also thought that the system tasks were kind of useless. Instead of saying "have the MC do this to the ML", it would have been better for the task to be "make sure the ML gets to BLANK". That would have given the MC an infinite amount of ways to progress the story aside from abusing or hurting the ML.

The confinement in this novel was not great. First off, we see it in the MC's dream but never get that dream realized. It's such a short part of such a long novel that didn't seem written as well as it could have been. On that topic, I feel like after a while the point of Yan Gu (the MC's fire spirit), Zhang-whatever Pei (rival ML), and the sable were kind of just there as filler characters. There was not really a big purpose to them or true, in-depth character development.

Last, but not least, I was so confused by the transmigration back to the real world. Forgetting that there's a chapter in the midst of this arc where the MC goes back to the cultivation world and then that's never explained or delved into, even in the real world, the ML isn't given any lovable characteristics. I would root for him more if he had more passionate love than just cold obsession. But, I have to admit I appreciated the realistic take the author took. Either way, I think the story is fine the way it is.

All in all, if there weren't so many issues, I would give it five stars! I ate this up and loved all of it. There wasn't really any lulls or parts where I felt the plot dragged, though I feel it could have been shortened. Still, would recommend to people who have this taste.
