After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Description

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

Jiang Chen travels to a fantasy novel world and becomes the villainous senior brother.

He didn’t have any golden finger (cheat) and didn’t want to end up as villainous cannon fodder, so he repeated nine reincarnation cycles, only aiming to be an upright senior brother.

Yet fate is unjust, bestowing upon him the aura of a villain, causing him to suffer countless misunderstandings and disdain.

Until the ‘Tenth Life’!

In this life, Jiang Chen gave up. His heart grew cold, and he also finally let himself go.

Jiang Chen: “Since heaven wants me to be a villain, why should I defy it?”

……

My name is Jiang Lianyue, and I have a villainous senior brother who is despicable.

I despise him, detest him, and even wish he would die quickly!

But one day, I witnessed a flashback of nine lifetimes…

In the first life, my senior brother sacrificed his own core to help the second brother rebuild his core, damaging his own foundation in the process.

In the second life, I was afflicted with a cold poison, and my senior brother, with his modest cultivation, refined pills for a hundred days to cure me at the cost of destroying his own core.

In the third life, I finally understood everything…

I feel like this novel had great potential but author didn't deliver

The story is basically a "pitying the protagonist" type plot, this is many times done poorly but here it's pretty well done, at first that is, until it all becomes more comedy than juicy drama

The potential in this plot was for a heartfelt story where side characters made their redemption acts after learning the truth but it all ends up being heartfelt only until they learn the truth and from that moment onwards there's not really a story full... more>> of emotion and redemption but just comedy that tbh isn't really that great

Would've been a 4/5 story if author went for a serious route with the writing but with comedy is more like a barely 3/5

The 2/5 is because ending is pretty tr*sh, rushed to a 1000% <<less

Very little makes sense. It's basically an idiot's plot, i.e. The plot can only be maintained because everyone is an idiot and can't put two and two together. There are many other problems as well.

  • The protagonist, ironically has very little protagonism and much of the novel is spent on the point of view of other characters.
  • The "heroines" are all unlikeable. Before the "memory reveal" they have at least some personality but they turn into one-dimensional yanderes after.
  • MC cares about the one person he shouldn't care about, his master. Everyone treated him like garbage in his past lives, but he says only his master cared about him, which is complete bullshit. That Qingning girl also cared about him and unlike his master, believed in him for a long time. Not to mention, his master brutally killed and crippled him multiple times before expelling him from the sect, but he treats that girl coldly while simping for his master.
  • The plot becomes repetitive and predictable.
  • The system is a joke. The author forgets the rules he sets up and only rewards the MC in weird moments.
I'll stop here because I just realised I could probably go on forever. One last thing is that the translator has more than half of the novel behind a paywall, but this doesn't affect the review.

Very enjoyable read, nearly cried at some parts for certain characters when it showed their actions through the 9 lives MC has lived and their reactions to it. One downside tho is that the novel ends abruptly.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC gets asked if he wants to ascend but he won't comeback or if he wants to stay, and he basically rejects it bcs he's been through so much heartache through these 9 lives. He ends up regretting it almost instantly while he's floating away and then the novel ends with the girls all ascending to meet him. Anticlimactic since there were like 3 other heroines that also didn't appear but I guess like him, as well as the fox girl and ghost girl also sorta just ending off their whole chain of things. Still a decent ending since it's not just he goes away and everyone forgets him or whatever but definitely feel like the author just sold a clean 5/5 bcs he sorta just wrote home self into a hole with making nearly every force be on the mc's side in the middle world or destroyed. Definitely still not saying it's bad, but I wish there was more, even if it kept the same sorta ending with everyone gathering to meet MC in the immortal world. Felt like maybe the author didn't want it to turn into MC going to face off against multiple protagonist like other novels and lose the whole plot of people remembering all the good MC tried to do since part way through the novel towards the end he gets an item that just straight up tracks the son of destiny.

I liked this story, and I wanted to give it a 5, but my friends... When it's a negative comment, I don't really like to write it, because I know there are people translating it, but it was really complicated this time...

The story started off well, with a cool theme, approached in a different way, and it was following a path, but the closer I got to the end, the more suspicious I became, and I swear, when I got to the last chapter, I thought the author was on... more>> hiatus, or something like that, because it didn't seem like there was an ending, but well... There was an ending, don't worry, I won't give any spoilers, or anything like that.

Basically, the last chapter was a summary... Like, I feel like the story needed about 4 more arcs to finish. I don't know if the author got trapped with his own plot, or if things escalated too quickly, or even if he got tired of the story, but the story simply ended...

It didn't have a bad ending, it was even good, but again, the last chapter is like a summary of 200 chapters, where he briefly talks about events that happened, which reached the end point of the story, and ends like that... It was kind of frustrating, better than having gone on hiatus, but it was simply a waste of the story... I still recommend the story, because it's fun, but it has a frustrating ending... <<less

I am a simple man, with only a few iron clad rules due to long years of reading stories. Understandable grammar (the minimum), interesting idea, and logical plot. This novel managed to garner my interest with its idea, made me stay due to good grammar (albeit bad in some parts), and filled my time with enjoyable logic, though expect the world building to happen throughout the story instead of in the beginning.

Jiang Chen tried to be a good person for 9 lifetimes, yet the world kept denying him, instead turning... more>> him into a villain, whether it be through the protagonist or the world influencing people's mind. On his 10th life, he decided to embrace his villain role but I guess the world threw him a bone because you have people who wronged him start to remember the past lives. Your usual trope with the obvious "I won't tell the MC I remember", though this time there is a logical reason to not tell, resulting in funny situations in my eyes. <<less

This novel is good on it's own way with lot comedic content. It does make me laugh (i have low humor) and the plot

is really good though not unique and have lot plot hole like other regret CH novel, I wanna rate it at 4 or more but the ending this novel is not good, it was rushed, even the latter part of the novel is rushed as well not really worth time to read. Read this novel if u dont have novel to read dont bother read until the... more>> end it just make u disappointed.

Spoiler

There is time skip, a lot sudden time skip that MC will ascend but it's not well detailed it just skimmed, even the OG prota was killed by su*cide after apologizing to the world after what he done in nine life and the heroine and MC buddy promise to ascend together to chase MC. Thats the end truly maddening ending like the whole content of novel. Lol it make me to flip the table if I have

As a serious, straight, novel, davidwolf2d's 2 star rating is correct on all of his criticisms (except the one regarding his master). The premise is interesting but the value of that premise is expended almost immediately once the first heroine 'turns mad'. In the 69 chapters I've read, the most interesting segments are the other characters who discover the truth of the world and their response afterwards. Meanwhile, the MC getting a system that gives him random things somewhat upsets the balance of the story a bit. With people who... more>> were against him converting over to his side, and then with these random powerups, what challenge is there to be had?

Which is why you should enjoy this as a comedy instead. Once you throw away the idea that this is a serious story, you can more easily enjoy the farcical aspects while ignoring the nightmare fuel that lies in the background. The important characters all going cuckoo is bad for a serious story but in a comedic framing what they end up doing is quite funny. The plot no longer matters as much (hey, we can guess from the start that all of his martial siblings and maybe his master will eventually flip over to his side and then he'll triumph over the protagonist) and you can just enjoy the ride.

You don't have to agonize over how everybody is absolutely failing to talk to each other about the facts that they've discovered (even if it would be useless because protagonist's plot armor) and just chuckle instead about how blind they all are. You don't have to think about whether it's morally just to punish certain people for things they haven't done yet and might have been coerced by the hand of fate.

From this perspective the story is a pretty good one - a decent mix of face slapping, a good guy revelling in the freedom of being an a**hole, the things people can get up to when they throw sanity out the window, etc. <<less

Is quite good, definitely worth the time to read. Yeah I read the MTL version, it available till chapter 280, but at the moment writing this, I'm at 212.

The story tell about the MC, Jiang Chen who tried his very best to change the so called plot (in the story obviously it called destiny). He tried his very best really (he tried for nine lifetimes), but he gave up at the end because no matter how he tried, the heaven did not permit it. So at the new beginning (the... more>> 10th lifetimes), he embrace his fate which is becoming a villain (some stepping stone for the son of destiny). As the title already said, the heroines became mad (mean they are shown his 9 lifetimes, and they feel sorry and mad toward the heaven), but as the person before already said, they do not tell the MC, so the MC though they became mad (this is a special state of mind in the story, where they are swallowed be demon heart). So yeah, it became very interesting, the misunderstanding really, not in a bad way, but in a very good way (yeah the author really describe it in a very good way).

Don't worry, there is definitely no bad misunderstanding and whatnot, the misunderstanding here is how The MC perceived the other who have gone mad (but in reality, they are just want the MC to do whatever he want in this life, because they feel sorry and not worthy of the sacrifice MC had been through).

The main plus in here is, even though it repetitive (mean that, the other is shown how MC life, and feel sorry, and support MC after that), it didn't feel like repetitive too. It still interesting about how they help the MC I'm whatever he trying to do, and how they treat the son of destiny (the one that torment MC). Each time, it is different, and the circumstances shown to each character is different too (the life of MC shown to them). It in different perspective, example, the junior sister A is shown how the MC treat her all his life (focusing on her), in junior brother is shown how the MC treat him all his life (focusing on him). Yeah it all happen in the same lifetime but it shown bit by bit so we don't have to feel bored because we already known it. That a plus for me cause the world building is good. And don't worry, when it said that the MC embrace the villain way, he indeed do that.

Yeah I read the MTL because I'm hooked at this from early chapter, and it didn't disappoint me. In fact, I'm glad to read it. Be sure to try it my friend, the translation is great too, but only a few chapter now at the time I write this hehe <<less

It's like when you've just finished an 8-hour shift and you ask for the reward you deserve, suddenly the boss comes and punches you in the stomach. In other words, it's the first work I've ever seen with such a horrible ending. It's such a bad ending that I wish it had dropped the story halfway through, because then at least there's hope of a good ending. But let's start with the story so that everyone understands.

In the story the main character is reincarnated into a novel as Jiang Chen... more>> an evil whom the original MC uses as a stepping stone. But he is determined not to become evil but keeps failing. This is played out 10 times when the main character follows his destiny, but then a system appears that rewards him for doing bad things and at the end, if he follows the story in which the original MC kills him, he can ascend to another world and since the MC is fed up with this world, he fulfils it. But not knowing that the more important people in his previous life will get insight into the previous 9 lives and go crazy with regret and protect the MC at all costs.

Based on that, you wouldn't expect it to be that good, but it's still well written here. Because by the way the characters look at the past lives of the mc's it really has the ability to evoke feelings you wouldn't expect. The story is well traced and led. Add to that the humour is brilliant, as I laugh out loud at a story but there were scenes here where I laughed myself to tears. Also, the character development is very good. But especially the female characters, as the male characters are not developed (example: second brother). Also, it gives a very good sense of the luck of the original MC and the power of the will of heaven. As in most of these works they take away the basis of such MC in 10 chapters and then play with it for another 30 chapters to kill it in the end in 50 chapters. But you can feel the luck here, because even if he didn't get what he was supposed to get, he got something else instead, which is more important in this situation. Those were the positives. It may sound like little but it's a very superficial description of how good they are at these things.

Now I'll list the negatives. The first is nothing more than the system that gives you stuff very randomly and not properly. For example, if you destroy an entire village/city, you get nothing. But when you beat a person, you get an extremely valuable treasure. The other is how they suddenly remember, since they never had this in their previous life. When I read it, I thought we would get an answer to this, but in the end we didn't (I'll mention this later). The other is the MC. I understand that he got tired of everything, but now he behaved like an ostrich who sticks his head in the sand. I don't understand why he hasn't realized that the others remember yet. Or asked them. Instead, he accepted that it causes madness. Plus, he's not mentioned much. This wasn't that disturbing, but he would still be the MC. Now the last one. And that's what took it from 5 stars to one instantly for me. It's nothing more than the ending. This is literally what you should be shown, so don't do it, because I've never seen such a half-baked, rushed ending that doesn't patch up the holes, doesn't close the characters, and doesn't reward anyone. It's like pouring a dose of red paint over a finished painting at the end.

Overall, a good beginning and middle, a disastrous ending. <<less

One of the best cultivation novels with a villian defying cliche I have ever read. The main characters are funny, quirky also it has tear jerking moments here and there too. But still, it might not have the greatest plot there ever is but comedy wise... it is top tier!Also not to forget yanderes... batsh*t crazy yanderes

A very interesting novel that follows a man pushed to the brink by a world intent on casting him as the villain despite him starting off very innocent and kind. Almost a thousand years of false accusations and good deeds backfiring on him over the course of 9 regressed lifetimes slowly erodes his emotions until escapism and despair leads him to fully embrace the villain role.

... more>>
Spoiler

Upon accepting his lot and genuinely acting despicably, he is finally shown a small bit of hope among the despair in the form of a system that rewards him for evil deeds and promises he can escape to another world if he fully commits to the role of a villain. It seems, however, that in this 10th life, when certain people's hatred for him reaches its peak, they are suddenly forced into a dream world where they are made to watch the entirety of his 9 lives from an outside perspective in all their suffering, to see how they themselves created the man they so despise.

[collapse]

I would give this novel 5 stars, except that it does this thing I've seen a lot in Chinese novels where they take a break from storytelling to exposition dump a bunch of setting for a LONG time, often giving either a long-winded explanation about something we already know about or droning on about something that doesn't advance the story at all. I wouldn't even mind all that much if it weren't for the fact that the latest available chapter will end in the middle of a really interesting development in the story that I'm excited to see play out, I'll wait anxiously for the next chapter to drop, and then when it finally does, most of it will be pointless info dump and the story doesn't advance at all. For example:
Spoiler

At the end of chapter 17, the 2nd victim to be forced into watching MC's 9 regressions is s**ked in. The first victim went mad with grief and self-loathing over how she had treated MC and decides to dedicate her entire life from then on to doing everything she can for MC and fighting back against the world that treated him so unfairly. Very interesting. So I'm excited to see jerk number 2 start to realize the hell he has been inflicting on his (until now) innocent Senior Brother, and see how he'll react. Well, chapter 18 drops, and about 3/4 of it is describing in detail how MC had stolen an important plant from his Junior Sister that would have helped her grow (something we already knew had happened even without all the extra detail), and why this plant was so important to her (information that doesn't advance the story at all). By the end of the chapter, the 2nd guy hasn't even fully understood that the events he is witnessing are real, or even that they're different from what he had witnessed during this lifetime. At most, the last line of the chapter is the beginning of him noticing something might be up.

[collapse]

All in all, the only reason I'm so bummed when they stall like that is because it's such a fun read when they finally get the ball rolling again. My advice is to let the chapters build up for a bit and then binge read them as a group. <<less

Honestly don’t know how I managed to read as far as I did, but this novel simply doesn’t suit my taste. I guess it’s supposed to be some sort of comedic undertone, but everyone just comes off as an idiot, MC included. Any logical action is attributed to madness and it repeatedly being seen as such by everybody is overdone. Continued reading in the hope that the MC would figure things out, but was disappointed. A dense protagonist tag is missing on this novel.

Not to mention the scope of the... more>> world which has for the most part been confined to the Sect after so much talk about other places. Story feels as if it’s going nowhere.

Wont even speak too much on the harem because you can hardly call it that. No progress has been made in that aspect.

In my opinion, this isn’t even worth reading. That is unless you have absolutely nothing else to occupy your time with. <<less

What starts out as a typical brainless, faceslapping, harem collecting, revenge plot... well it's still a brainless, faceslapping, harem collecting, revenge plot. But it's very different from those novels. What sets it apart is this is basically a parody of those novels, the novel so far is aware of all those cliches and tropes and makes fun of it. The Main Character (MC), can sneeze and five different characters will accuse that sneeze of being a demonic ritual. Each chapters gets more and more absurd until you become aware that... more>> the author isn't pretending he's writing Journey to the West, the author is writing comedy.

I'd say give this novel a lot of patience, it's not what you think. Yet it still requires the reader to endure repetitive writing and brainless characters. I liken this novel a little to Library of Heaven's Path. I'm interested to see how the author will continue with the story since the current Main Villain is practically dead at this point. <<less
