This Novel Has No Hidden Villain

Description

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

“Take it if you want. But be fair.” 

“What do you mean…?”

“If you want to have me, you have to give yourself too.”

I possessed a character in a modern fantasy novel. 

The final mastermind who pretends to be a supporting character and then backstabs the protagonist.

The problem is that I possessed the character before reading the full story.

If it’s revealed that I’m not the original owner of this body, I’ll be massacred by the family.

I have no choice but to impersonate the mastermind.

But as of today, the mastermind who dreamed of destroying the world is retiring. You guys figure out the brains.

I just want to be a brainless idiot.

I tried to turn over a new leaf like that, but the protagonist keeps looking at me with strange eyes.

What? Is he picking a fight?

[Preview]

“…Why are you doing this? We’re meeting for the first time.”

“I’m expressing that we should get close since we’re getting to know each other for the first time.”

“So you suddenly sat next to me…?” 

“You’re a bit s*upid. You don’t know how to understand words properly.”

“…You’re not trying to fight but actually want to get close?”

“I’m sorry. I’m a bit clumsy with human relationships.”

Wow, I’m about to explode. This guy isn’t sorry at all, what bullsh*t is he spouting?!

‘You don’t even want to get close in the first place!’

I know that just by looking in his eyes! What the hell is he scheming…?!

While I couldn’t answer properly because I was going crazy, Logan stepped in to back me up.

“Lord Cassice has no intention of getting close to you. So please go away.”

The problem was that because Ryuseong lowered the level of conversation by suddenly talking about getting close or whatnot, no matter what was said, it felt like kindergarteners declaring “I’m not friends with you anymore! Let’s end our friendship!”

After setting the stage to make any conversation seem ridiculous, Ryuseong was growling at Logan like a tiger.

“Are you Cassice’s nanny? Know your place before butting in.”

“…Are you prepared to take responsibility for that verbal ab*se?”

Wow. No matter what, it becomes a shitty situation, so I felt strangely calm instead. Then I realized how to escape from the ridiculous farce led by Ryuseong.   

Right, you bastard. Let’s go meet the family head.

“Logan, stop. Come here.”

“Lord Cassice…”

Logan obediently listened to me. It means he held back his anger when he was about to shout with a red face and stood at attention behind me. I tapped the back of his hand a couple times, then rested my elbow on my crossed knees and placed my chin on my palm. 

In that state, I narrowed my eyes looking up at Ryuseong.

Alluringly. Disgustingly. Frivolously. 

“Then, are we dating starting from today?”

  • the world setting is really unique! it's like our 21st century with all the technology etcetera but still holding on ancient setting such as European royalty & eastern clans. then combine it all with magical fantasy
  • it's power couple ⁚3 with rivals to enemy dynamic. ofc at the end they both madly in love with each other
  • a little bit of angst (angst!! it's so good too) here and there, and then a sprinkle of romance (the description!! the wording !!) every few chapters ⁚3
  • kinda found family? except it's high schoolers found family?? ⁚')
  • the worldbuilding is kinda... idk maybe because I read it with mtl but it's really confusing. it's not bad though, it's just really hard to understand
  • there is a lot of foreshadowing, and misunderstanding, and unreliable narration (someone need to put that tag up here)
  • Spoiler

    Ian!cassis always disregard his traumatic experience as something that not worth to worry about. I was surprised when he was actually ab*sed by his family cuz in the first chapter he describes it as if he's from a good family

    [collapse]
  • changes mood at random times??? in example, they would be in the middle of battle and then boom (!!) romance with flowery words... Or random arcs, they be fighting enemies to death last chapter then next chapter is them having a school trip
overall would be 4.5/5

Enemies to lovers to cutie lovers

the MC is so.... crazy haha oh my gosh.

I’m not sure if it was me or if the way the novel is written is a little confusing (someone said that it does seem to switch moods suddenly and I agree. It gets confusing/disorienting sometimes especially since flowery descriptions like to be dumped in.) but it’s not too bad to understand?

I wasn’t sure about this novel but what hooked me was the dynamic between the MC and ML. They’re both crazy in their own way and... more>> it causes much hilarity especially in the disparity of tone when you switch from the MC’s POV to the ML’s.

Spoiler

i do miss their hate sex-vibes dynamic from the beginning a little bit because it was fun but at the same time I felt like this would be a novel that has a BE/ends in tragedy if they stuck to that dynamic LMAO... their current dynamic is still quite fun nonetheless, just in a different, softer way.

[collapse]

the MC...I really like the MC here. He really is a hedonistic young master and I do think unlike perhaps a lot of other MCs you’ve read, he truly is not a good person, but me and the ML like him anyway.

Spoiler

ofc we eventually find out why the MC is this way, I do like that you get hints from pretty early on that the MC is coping by acting the way he does? I really enjoyed how the author wrote him dealing with his trauma and ab*se, because he’s not a “perfect victim” but it’s still very clear how much it affects him in unhealthy and sad ways despite what the MC says.

It is really cute and funny, maybe because it's only at the beginning and nothing major is happening yet.

I hope the translator will continue this.

10/10 would recommend

The translation is easy to understand and through reading you can see clearly that the author and translator know what they're doing. I'm trying to write this spoiler free but goddam does this novel brings me to tears sometimes.

P/S: it's a bit disappointing regarding smut scenes tho bc altho at first the kiss scene is very graphic and intense, stuff after that is a bit... lacking
