The Villain Wants to Change Genres

Description

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

After suffering from a high fever, I realized I had been reborn as a villain in a novel.

I was the villain who dies after tormenting my half-sister Irene, the female protagonist, out of jealousy.

But there was something even more important than that.

‘Luwen exists in this world.’

The character I loved most while reading the novel.

Luwen, the second male lead who steadfastly loves the female lead until sacrificing his life.

What if he hadn’t fallen in love with the female lead?

This was my chance to act on the daydreams I had in my previous life.

‘I can change Luwen’s ending.’

Yes, I’m just slightly altering the future of the second male lead, who’s still only twelve.

‘Luwen, I’ll change your life’s genre to a happy ending.’

It might be an arrogant thought.

But I’ve always been a selfish person who only thinks about myself.

So I’ll do as I please.

Even if I can’t be a good person, I can pretend to be one, right?

Even if I’m not the type to sacrifice myself for others, I can paint a convincing picture.

So, Luwen, let’s survive and find happiness.

Don’t step into your predetermined tragic fate. I’ll protect you as your brother.

The way the MC describes ML at the age of 12 in his mind makes me uncomfortable! I really tried to stick it out, but this MC gave me weird vibes. 😭 I usually can handle Guardian to Lovers, because the older one truly sees the younger one as someone to nurture and wish only the best for them in their younger years, but he seems particularly fixated on it when describing the ML, to the point where I'm like "why do I care if he's blushing? He's 12 bro".... more>> Sorry if anyone else liked this novel, but it's a big no for me ! <<less

I persisted in this story because I was drawn to the beautiful and smart MC and the still growing ML but it wasn’t an easy story to read or become fully engrossed in.

Our MC realises they're in a novel and as is the trope wants to change for the better not for themselves but for their favourite second male lead that had a BE.

There is some awkwardness around the age gap and it’s more to do with the way the author has handled it. They’ve created a 5 year age... more>> gap where the MC is in a position to “raise” the ML and then when the ML is 18 and they should be 23 there isn’t that maturity that would come with the MC being older. Sometimes it felt confusing reading about a school setting but also being aware that the MC is meant to be older yet nothing about them comes across that way.

I feel like there are elements in this story that feels like a slow burn. The parts of the story that should move more quickly instead drag on and the parts that drag on I wish would be done with.

Also the MC is completely oblivious to how striking they look which is a result of never being loved and cared for by his parents, his self esteem is low. He also uses a mask to manipulate people around him which I didn’t like but understood that it’s part of who he is. I’m glad he doesn’t do this to his closest people.

I probably won’t continue on with this story but I think I may come back to it just to see how the MC and ML realise their feelings for one another. <<less

Havent finished this story yet but so far from what I've noticed and felt from this story is that... the guardian to lovers trope isn't my thing. I love reading new tropes so I wont get bored but this one rubbed me the wrong way, especially with the MC. I get being manipulative is part of his personality/way to survive but sorta guilt tripping/pressuring ur loved ones is not my cup of tea.

Bit of spoiler ahead,

[In ch66 he wrote a letter asking if it'll be okay for him to... more>> live near the academy where the ML is but he wrote it in a way so he wont be able to say no (even tho ML wont either way) its a bit off for me here but glad he's self aware. He also have a few possessive thoughts towards ML thts a bit red flag but glad he didnt act on it (not much of a problem for me but it might for others) ]

Anyways, if what I wrote isn't your cup of tea too I recommend for you to read something else. But for me I will be continuing this and maybe my opinion will change about him as the story progress. P, s this is MY opinion I mightve misunderstood something so take my comment with a grain of salt ^^ <<less
