edit: this one has gotten on my nerves. It's been 30 chapters since my last review and frankly I'm dropping the series. This thing went from good potential to deification of the protagonist. If you read it you will understand exactly what I mean. Dropping to 2 stars, and not reading again

it looked like it could be good when I reviewed it at c7. That hope never came true.

MC is uninteresting. His special ability was the usual among the 7 deadly sins. The MC was op, lazy, chick magnet.

forget the story, forget the plot. This novel doesn't offer much on those aspect.

Oh would you look at the time, looks like it is 'villain novel review.' o clock. This time on the chopping block is "The Slothful Villainous Noble". A quite readable 7 out of 10 novel. The review itself will be quite short (by my standards) so I won't be providing a TLDR here but one is there on the rec. List.

So anyways, onto the specifics-

• The good parts, It is entertaining wish-fulfilment. The MC isn't some ultra competitive fighter but he isn't some idiot either. He 'awakens' memories from previous life. But is compelled to stay slothful by his nature and manages to find ways around it.
• He's good looking cause he puts effort into it (not just because he was just born with it) which is a nice thing. He is hilariously overpowered because of the way his power works. He already has a harem but seems the main girl is one that he motivated himself and worked with her to make her go from ugly duckling to a swan which is another really good message to send. But thats all on the surface level.

Now, the criticisms,

• the world setting- almost as generic as they come. Magic isnt well explained. The distinctions of 'attribute' and 'attributeless' are nonexistent. His signature power isn't well-thought out but rather a plot mcguffin capable of doing everything.
• Characters are mostly one dimensional. Hell, his own family is a group of caricatures of the seven deadly sins tropes and that is all they have for personality. (This actually includes the MC, embodiment of sloth)
• The POV shifts are standard. Most of the time you will not be reading from the MC's side. This would still have been fine but. Each chapter and each POV switch basically is 20-30% a recap of the previous chapter. Details and dialogue get repeated constantly. This did not happen much near the beginning of the novel but the later parts chap 15 onwards are practically all 20-30% recaps.

It's a good work, typical story that MC remembers his past life with a shitty family.

Good points :

°MC has a lot of interaction with characters outside the original line, and shows well the relationship between them without anything forced. Even though he is described with him being 'extremely handsome' (he has an androgenic appearance') it shows that the two women he loves didn't fall in love with him for that, but for who he is (so harem won't be great, something appreciated. For now he has 2 his fiancée and... more>> the servant girl who takes care of him). And he doesn't even care about the original heronies (only one who is the daughter of a friend of his (but she is very cute, so go ahead)

°MC is strong but not competitive and is obsessed with being the greatest.

°He doesn't give a damn about the original line, nor does he want to be involved with it. But that doesn't mean that he will bow his head to anyone. The protagonist challenges the MC to a fight and gets beaten up mercilessly. The heroine friend of the protagonist will defend him, and MC puts her in her place and so on.

(In short, MC will crush him mercilessly if they mess with him.) <<less

I want to like this novel but I just can't seem to. On one hand, I love the author's writing style which is very pleasant to read, like reading a fairytale. However, on the other hand, I'm not a big fan of the multiple POVs that are so overwhelming. These details are repeated over and over again, which makes me feel bored.

The story is interesting, I like the multiple pov and the reactions to the MC, but some pov's repeat the same dialogue and it gets annoying. I notice some of the characters are kinda one-dimensional, while I did find it boring at first, the characters do develop as the story progresses.
