I Became the Master of the Villain

Description

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

The main character of a novel, Kian, blackens and destroys the empire after 20 years of s*avery.

After transmigrating into an extra that will die at the hands of the villain, Olivia decides she must stop Kian from going down the wrong path in order to survive.

With so much money that it was rotting, I put the money to good use and bought the main character from the auction.

“I am Kian. From now on, I will serve you faithfully.”

In fact, the main character I came to know was a far cry from a bloody killer. I lived because I was a good person before the impending storm.

Until the main character wakes up as a wizard.

I thought my care and sincerity were successful in stopping his villainous route…

****

“Master, why are you trying to abandon me?” Kian said when I tried to burn his s*ave deed.

My heart shook at his pleading look and imploring voice. Strengthening my resolve soon, I said, “I’m just trying to set you free.”

“Master says she doesn’t need me anymore.”

“No, I didn’t–“

I couldn’t finish my thought. Kian narrowed the distance between us, bowing his head deeply. His face was so close, it was as if our lips were touching.

My heart unconsciously started to beat wildly. He whispered softly, burying his face on my shoulder, “I am yours, Master, so you may order anything…”

The certificate of sale flew into the air and fell into Kian’s hand. A moment ago, he, who had lowered his eyes bitterly, growled as low as a beast: “Just don’t tell me to leave. That order cannot be followed.”

What should I do?

It seems that the main character has turned into a yandere.

She bought him, and treats him with decency and dignity. She treats him especially, and showers him with presents.

But that's the thing: while she has a very deep reason, she's being rather unfair.

... more>>
Spoiler

If she upgraded him to being a servant, I can understand.

If she adopted him into her family, I can understand.

If she had bought him and had him cooperate in order to abolish s*avery and help the kingdom, I can understand.

But she just goes on to:

Tell him to sleep, eat, and rest well.

Buys him an entire store's worth of items.

Buys him a super expensive ring that almost no one can afford.

You do this much to spare your life and cater to him, sure, but even if you want to good friends with him, this just goes to the realm of unfairness. Of course the servants are going to feel bad. There they were, working hard for years and suddenly some pretty fellow just waltzes in and gets the best treatment! I bet if he had wanted the throne, you'd capture it for him, and this would make even more sense.

Hello! Looking for:

Master and servant relationship? Check!

Fluffy ML from the beginning? Check!

... more>> MC reasonable that is realistic about herself as a person and her own character? Check!

Original FL not being a Green Tea b*tch? Check!

Interesting political intrigues without you being crazy trying to understand it all? Check!

Emotional scene to introduce the so expected actual romance part? Check!

And, to end: A cute TL-sama with lots of others good projects that give you funny comments at the end of some chapters? Double Check!

I have decided to write my review here now, when I haven't before by reasons of being a procrastinator, is that TL-sama is without Raws, so if you start reading and wants to help, than please! QAQ

Second reason is that I found the majority of the previous reviews with a bad classification, and wanna help new readers to found this cute one!

So good I am dying for more.

Female lead, Olivia, is a smart and capable noble lady with a kind heart and knows how to stand up for herself and those she loves. She saves the male lead several times and it makes me fall in love with her every time. Must read for those who love gender roles reversed as much as I do.

Male lead, Kian, is such a gentle, cute and puppy-like character. Reminds me a lot of Nine from "Beware of the villainess". And I'm sure he will... more>> become a powerful man later on who can perfectly match our badass MC (I love him the way he is though).

The novel doesn't shy away from darker themes such as child labor, s*xual assault, etc but it isn't taken to the point of being triggering so rest assured.

It also managed to make me giggle and laugh while I was reading. The comedy is nice and not out of place. The interaction between Olivia and Kain are too cute and wholesome. They truly will do anything for each other and I'm all in for this dynamic. <<less

The novel seems to be written by a child. The phrasing, the pacing, the characters.... everything is quite dumb. The translator did their best as I've read their other translations which were fine.

... more>>
Spoiler

I could only endure till half of ch 13 where evil uncle comes to make trouble while they are trying to eat. I mean what else is new. 90% of the time the mention of food brings about troublemaking extras. I'm not gonna waste my time blaming the s*upidity of the characters, as the author is solely responsible.

Let's talk about the story, which btw goes nowhere and is boring af. You won't get any other pov (which could've expanded the readers view of other territories of the story. But let's be honest, the author can barely squeeze out ideas to keep the fl's daily life going) except the FL (and John the wholesome servant) where she goes like, I did this, I did that, I have this on my schedule today and the rest is Kian, Kian, Kian.

Everything is terribly predictable, like the part about the genius/ hobo artist guy. Just as the 2 duchesses are vomiting their "knowledge" about art (which we again just time skip coz this dumb author is too "knowledgeable" and lazy to describe ANYTHING. Everything just.... happens. Her speech for the hotel inauguration... just happens) and mention the painter, lo and behold, there he is. Every action seems to have a useless purpose. Them going on a walk is just to meet the hobo man. Kian and her could've had a meaningful conversation and maybe it could have touched a bit on his "painful" past, (which we again just hear about, barely there description) they could've gotten a bit emotionally closer. But no, every scene is cut and telling the actors to just go home. I'm not gonna waste my time describing what else I noticed, but you get what I'm saying, right?

[collapse]

Someone else narrated the FL's questionable intelligence, morality and choices, so I'll skip that. Hope the author improves and everyone further reading it enjoys the story. You can read this story if you have nothing else to read, it's not THAT bad. <<less

authors stop romanticizing s*avery challenge!!

i don't even have to read this to know this is an unhealthy mf relationship. That power dynamic between the mc's is a no-go + the romanticization of s*avery is f*cking disgusting. Reading the summary really made me sad : (

This is translated well, but’s it’s so bland.

... more>>
Spoiler

MC buys a s*ave and pretty much throws cash at him and spoils him with clothes, a ridiculously expensive ring, expensive meals, holidays, picnics, etc. But there’s so little feeling. All she does is protect him from people who throw slander at him and mistreat him. She’s more like a superhero than a love interest to him, surely. It’d be nice if there was more emotion rather than MC coming to save the day. It’s just mishap after mishap after mishap. There’s no real plot or romance to be honest.

[collapse]

I read it because of the description, but so far it’s not that great. <<less

I was constantly waiting for the storyline to progress and the guy to actually become the possessive type...... but the author just put in useless incidents in which the powerful girl is saving the pitiful guy...... Overall, the story is just silly.

The interaction between the MC and the ML is what you'd expect from this kind of novel, but the plot surrounding them is weak at best. It jumps a lot, there's no thought for pacing, and there's a lot of holes. The other characters in the world are shallow, too. Overall, something to read if you've got time to waste and/or you want to support the translator, but there's a lot of better stories out there

it feels like MC just got herself expensive pet and do things without thinking

that's not a way to someones heart - on the contrary, they might even despise you for it

the translation is well done, but the story seem quite bland in just those few chapters I read, maybe my expectations were too high :/

after reading other reviews I don't hold much hope for some interesting character building

this might be the first time I saw a male lead that isn’t the all powerful prince type. Satisfying :) also so cute

I like the pace of the story and I think the MC is trying her best to survive. However, she end up touching the heart of ML to fall in love with her. MC has her own mind and she is not submissive too. The translator did a great job.

im not much of an avid novel reader and ive always felt like my supposed dyxlesia and trouble in reading made me steer away from reading novels so I stuck with manga and anime cause of this for years. I dont have much imagination to go for to visualized if I read a novel and im used to skimming alot when reading just to get it over with

but since ive been binging otome isekai villainess manga/manwha for the past year or so that I keep wanting more content about it... more>> to the point im now here in novelupdates to satisfy my thirst for this type of content. Ive listed a few here and there im interested in but I havent started anything/picked up reading to potential titles I wanna read but this one. It was really easy to read and follow. It also helped that I really like the story so far. I cant even believe myself I stuck with it and even kept wanting more so hopefully this got a new chapter or update soon! <<less

This is one of those that really really drags everything out and repeats information for the word-count. We knew the male lead was a s*ave from the summary. We dont need it spelled out again ever other sentence for the whole novel. The manhwa does a really good job condensing the plot to important beats. Ch 6 of the manhwa already hits ch 20 of the novel. The novel needed an editor with an axe to get through that forest of filler.

The novel is okay.... the cliche story between a master that treats her s*ave okay and he falls in love cause she is the first to treat him like he's a human. I like that both the FL and the ML are strong and smart. The peace of the novel is not that slow, but can become a little boring. Still waiting for the romance to start and see how it goes.

Uhh basically what the rest of the comments are saying, so I won't waste my breath talking about how she bought him and treats him like a glorified pet, but I have beef with her reasoning in particular. "he's gonna kill me in the future" well damn miss why not just kill him first, hm? She doesn't even make plans about how to use him or what she'll do with him, but isn't leaving him alive a huge risk? So why not just... Y'know, while he's still young and powerless,... more>> as it were, off him? She doesn't seem adverse to this type of thing, and on multiple times threatens to/outright tries to mu*der people over Kian (that's the s*ave guy) because.. they hurt his feelings? She doesn't have much of a conscience at all, seems to be smart, but why didn't she come up with this immediately ? Or alternatively, at least make up a backup plan of what to do IF he turns evil again and goes against you.... I mean, you have to be s*upid not to see that you aren't even being treated like a human but more like an accessory, lol.

Also Kian completely DISREGARDS her reasons (not that she gave him any, but I suppose he speculated) because 'shes nice'. I get being the gentle flower type, but come on... You had concerns and you let them go so easily !? Sigh. Could have been interesting there, but alas.

I also want to briefly cry about the writing.... It's so childlike.... The TL tried their best it seems, but... It's like, let's go here, let's do that, okay we've done it, now we do that. Dialogue is... Weird? Haha. The plot is exactly nonexistent, basically : ohh no Kian in danger - MC saves Kian - MC spoils Kian - aaand loop. Some people are into it, I think it's a waste of time.

Uhh overall exactly what you're looking for if you read the comments complaining and think "oh I actually like this", otherwise don't read lol.

(Despite my complaints I have given a rather lenient rating because it's objectively good, I am just not the target audience this time haha) (also for the wasted potential ;;) <<less
