This act of kindness blossoms into love, and a year later, they welcome a child. Yang Chen, hoping for a peaceful family life with his wife and son, is met with a shocking system notification:

[Host’s son is born, plundering his elder brother, the male lead’s Providence Luck by 3000 points!] [The Great Villain System is officially activated!]

The system throws Yang Chen’s plans into chaos. He’s forced to become the antagonist he was originally destined to be, but with a hilarious twist – his target is now his own stepson!

This kind of novel is hilarious, hypocritical and unimpressive.

What is the difference between the MC and the protagonist? Nothing, he just becomes more lucky and with a more absurd golden finger.

Nothing innately special like a talent, experience or mindset.

And 99% of this genre is like that, a pathetic replica of 1 template without any intention of improving it.

It's the usual kind of reincarnated ass a villain story that fails to establish characters.

No character is really a character mearly a tool to advance the plot.

The only 'unique' thing that it has is that the love interest already had a child with someone else.

... more>> Which of course is to facilitate the story setup at the cost of making the already uninteresting heroine extremely unapealing. From what I could glimpse as of now he is very much so her actual son she had with another dude.

Funnily enough the novel seems to hope the reader would forget about that fact, trying to both have it's cake and eat it.

That said, if you don't mind that it still is simply an extremely generic (and not well executed) story with barebones characters.

Edit: I feel like I need to clarify myself. Because my last line can apply to almost any of this type of novel. The whole ''Villain slaps mc's and gets all the women'' novels. Thing is, quite a few of them are actually fun reads. Their simpleness is exactly their appeal, they are essentially ''Groschennovels''. It's just that this novels is actually bad at executing that plot. It feels like it just wants to rattle down what happens but forgets to actually give the characters proper interaction. Sure, the characters in such novels are rarely deep but surprisingly often they tend to be at least amusing to see interact. In this one most teasing and so one just feels wooden as f*ck.

Part of that has to do with what I mentioned earlier, the whole having the cake and eating it thing. For those that don't know, most chinese novels are even more extreme than Japanese or Korean novels with having the love interests be absolute pure virg*ns. Here is the thing with this novel, the women quite clearly isn't. But well... the novel really just hopes the reader forget that. Things like the dudes father or such are simply... never mentioned. There are a few stories that do it like that, they want to have a Mother as a love interest but also want all their heroines to be pure so they kind of just act like there was never a father. Acknowledging that the women has a child but refusing to acknowledge how said child would have come to be. That is the case with this novel as well and it makes the already wooden conversations even more awkward.

So yeah, it's not bad because of what type of novel it is but because it's really bad at being that type of novel. <<less

I feel bad for Lin Yan, who is kept in the black about his secret little brother, but oh well, all it's for survival. While the MC Yang Chen is also good. Not like h**ny dog or Courting death prideful MC. Hoping to see further development.

And yeah, definitely a 5 star for this novel. Thank you Author and Translator.

Those who want to badmouth this novel. Please don't read it. It meant that it is not to your taste. Look for other one.

The best way to describe this novel is high-quality junk food. It's junk food, but it's good junk food.

The title becomes true immediately in the first couple chapters. The story follows the usual formula of MC stealing protag's fortune, killing him, and moving to the next protag. But, this time, with a slight twist. MC's main method of not dying is to cuck protag's relative (mother, aunt, etc.).

... more>>
Spoiler

MC literally has a baby with the protag's mom pretty early. So far, he has three kids with her. Obviously, bringing much dismay to the protag who hates MC to his very core.

More soon with another protag's aunt, and possibly even more with another another protag's mom.

[collapse]

The way it handled this is pretty light, making it an easy read. It's not heavily detailed, so you can read this without too much thought. That said, as per usual of this type of genre, it can get repetitive. Especially with the protag's constant whining of wanting to kill MC.

Nevertheless, if you find interest in the title and description, I say, give it a go. <<less

A fun read. A weaker version of I Am the Fated Villain imo, but its not bad overall.

The MC starts as the Holy Son (basically the inheritor of his sect) of the top sect in his region. He has a system that gains points for exchange at the shop by taking away the luck of the OG protagonists of the story.

... more>>
Spoiler

Find out later his region is considered a weak region in comparison to the central region. But the MC is the only disciple of the sect master, who would still be considered a Top personality even in the central region based on her cultivation level.

[collapse]

Unlike other webnovels of similar niche, this one is different from the others I've read so far. The MC essentially favors having older/mature women as his wife/concubines, and most of the time they end up being the mother/aunt of the OG protagonists. He does his upmost to humiliate the MCs under the guise of righteousness, so while the crowd is in awe of his sense of justice, the MCs of the story suffer constant physical and mental beat-downs. Unlike other stories, this Villain MC also ends up having many children with his harem throughout the story, which I haven't seen much of at all in other stories of similar nature.

For some sensitive people: NTR-esque elements in the story

Spoiler

A lot of the OG MCs involved with this Villain MC happen to have a story involving having a harem consisting of their aunt, or mother figure (for example). MC would basically attract these love interests to himself first and take them for himself and destroy the MCs confidence. His favorite is calling the MC his step-son, and forcing them under pressure to admit he is their father (destroy their self-esteem).

He sometimes sleeps with the lover and does the deed while the MC may be listening from not far away. I myself dont really consider it NTR because the OG protag of the arc hadn't yet formed a close relationship with these women, only admiring them from afar, but to each their own.

[collapse]

Overall is a fun way to pass the time. For those that enjoy a Villain MC, Harem of mature women, and dont mind the NTRish style, then give this story a try. <<less

This novel is a solid 2.5, if you like the first chapter then you will enjoy this novel because it laterally does not tread any new ground. It just copy-pastes the same thing with little differences to make it the palatable. I'm recovering from a surgery and am on some very nice prescription medication, I enjoyed this novel until my brain reset, and now I'm going to drop it because it really isn't my thing.

Plot wise this is a more slapstick and repetitive version of, "I Am the Fated Villain"... more>> which, while successful is no literary masterpiece. "An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad" is the same concept, but dumbed way down so that the focus can be the MC's cuckoldry of the heavenly sons and the various soft NTR scenarios that the author seems to enjoy.

The translation is pretty solid, all the names are constant and there is enough transliteration that it is nice and smooth. Best of all there is very little padding to the writing, so either the author isn't paid by word/page count or the editor is a chad. <<less
