It’s Not Easy To Be A Villain This Time

Description

Ji Rong died suddenly after staying up all night playing an online game, only to wake up as the evil villainess who meets her demise at the hands of the heroine in the game’s ending.

Determined to change her fate, she resolved to fight against the heroine until the bitter end. But then, the sweet and naive heroine unexpectedly… awakened.

A certain “mad dog” pounced on her, whispering teasingly into her ear:

“Senior Sister, isn’t this fun?”

Expressionless, Ji Rong replied, “Not at all.”

Now, facing the heroine who radiates dark energy and wears “I’m no good” on her face, Ji Rong could only weep internally and curse the game developers for ruining her youth.

From a near-death awakening:

“I can’t believe it—the NPC… is me!”

Having reincarnated as the villainous Senior Sister, Ji Rong initially thought she was handed the script for The Villain’s Redemption Story—or at least I Became a Light at the End of the Game.

Oh my gosh! Thank you for the translator for choosing this story. I was already attracted to this story as I like the author already for her (I am assuming she is a girl based on her account before she closed it) other work which is actually her second published book and is also being translated by another translator here, the title is "I'm fighting with the male lead for a woman", I'm not exactly sure if it was also its title in here. So, I want to say a... more>> lot, but I don't want to spoil too much and I feel just a little bit sad that no one has dropped a review so far. So, here goes.

We all know the synopsis and you might think that oh, for sure it does have some things that won't make it stand out but what hooked me really is that the main character or Ji Rong is very competitive and for me, very unlike other protagonists who transmigrated into another world.

Spoiler

Ji Rong transmigrated into a game and met Gu Baiyi that as shown in the first few chapters or already obvious enough that she has lived two lives which baffles our MC. She ships Mei He and Baiyi, but over time she realizes that the "dog planner" or the game developer actually intended for Baiyi and Ji Rong's CP to sail. We would realize it over time as we read it. It actually involves three characters for the MC and all of which is her — the immortal Sanhua, the sword saint Yue Yanqiu, and as we all know her, Ji Rong — to which you might be confused because it was established at the start of the story that she was a transmigrator and a modern person, I won't spoil much but, man oh man, it's a very good twist for me. Baiyi and Ji Rong's love for each other, oh my gosh I just can't tell you how much I have squealed and blushed for all the scenes. My review might be messy, but I can assure you, this story is really good.

I just feel a little bit sad that the author stopped writing Yuri, because in my opinion, as much as the shelf for Yuri literature is not as much as straight romance stuff and Boy's Love literature, not every Girl's love story you will find is very good, so just when I thought I found an author that was quite befitting to what I looked for in a writing style, she stopped. Also, I might be biased but I just read most Baihe and felt that most GL literary that are good are published by women, there is depth, there are male authors who also do good but they quite make the characters a heteronormative couple or you know, they just changed the gender but it still feels like the other is a guy. Anyway, this story is very good and if you feel like my review is not enough, you can look for the original link of the book and read all the reviews, even when this book is being published, it was included in the hot list. Gurl, this story is so good and I hope everyone will read it. The pacing may not be fast enough or just right for some but I assure you, the story is really great and if only I could, I hope the author in the future would reconsider writing stories again. Thank you translator and I am looking forward to reread this again. The ups and downs and mostly the mushy feels that makes me want to fall in love (⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠^⁠3⁠^⁠)

The novel starts off slow and kind of cliche, but as you read more and get deeper into the story there are parts that draw you in, and all the preconceived notions you had at the beginning start getting challenged.

I feel that as the book progresses almost all the plot holes will be explained, even if it is confusing at the beginning. The writing is pretty good and the characters aren’t too bland. The characterization gets better the more you read

The MC has seen all the horrible things the FL... more>> has gone through so she doesnt judge the FL too harshly, and always feels sad for her, even after
Spoiler

she realizes the FL has transmigrated too and after she breaks down and tells the FL everything she knows, out of pure stress and being tired of being constrained

.

The main dynamic is FL is transmigrated and MC doesnt know, but has suspicions, and also trying to see how the plot progresses with variables added by the MC and FL.

The MC doesnt say much at the beginning due to being restrained by character restraints and doesnt challenge them till much later. By some point she kind of adopts the characteristic into herself even if her inner voice talks more.

anyways love what I've read so far <<less

All the making of a good story are completely obliterated by the utterly useless system add-on. A mandatory addition for all transmigration/reincarnation stories.

According to the author, our main character is such an awful protagonist that their every word and action needs to be filtered through the 'dogsh*t writing' system in order to be enjoyable.

Quite frankly, if you want your protagonist to act like a silent, proud peac*ck character you don't need some system to do it there are plenty of creative ways to have them be influenced by the original... more>> owner without resorting to one of the worst macguffins ever invented.

I genuinely want to enjoy this story, I do, but the over reliance on the 'dogsh*t writing' system completely ruins any and all potential.

I firmly believe 'systems' and 'administrators' should be a banned term from any and all sources of media. The only exception so far is Solo Leveling which if you haven't read it then a small spoiler:
Spoiler

The system was created to help the main character adapt to the powers he was slowly inheriting. It never restricted his speech or actions in any way because it was well written and made sense.
