I find myself in an unexpected role - the villain. It's a realization that dawns upon me, and I must admit, I never saw myself as the hero. Deep down, I carried a sense of responsibility for the resentment and animosity people harboured towards me. Perhaps I truly wasn't as kind or benevolent as the protagonist.
Yet, I can't fully embrace the label of a villain. It perplexes me to awaken one day and comprehend that everyone else, including those I was prepared to protect at the cost of my own life, perceives me as such.
To add to the weight of this revelation, fate has bestowed upon me an immense burden—the task of saving humanity itself. The irony is not lost on me. As a villain, it is not my duty to preserve the world. However, to whom should I entrust this responsibility? Should I leave it to the protagonist, whose primary pursuit seems to be amassing a personal harem under the guise of luring beauty? The very hero who possessed the most potent cheat codes yet failed to fulfil his duty in the end. This same hero seeks to safeguard our enemies simply because they currently reside in a state of peace.
Ah, the mere thought of that hypocrite, convincing himself that he desires control to protect the innocent, ignites a fire within me.
Sighing deeply, I come to a resolution. Yes, I will undertake the task of saving this chaotic world, but I will do it on my terms. Those who dare cross my path shall soon comprehend why the world itself deems me a villain.
[This revised novel, a departure from my debut "The Villain Side of the Novel," introduces an alternate plotline where Fray persists in the struggle for the throne. The narrative unfolds on a previously unexplored continent, a departure from the original setting, providing a fresh and intriguing starting point.]
Hello, as the author, I'll award myself five stars because I believe I deserve it. The novel promises a fast-paced narrative, intricate language, unique character relationships, numerous mysteries, and various wars, starting with succession battle and ending with world wars between the humen and other races. The MC will not involve himself in the original plot, he will discreetly build hidden power, ultimately becoming the strongest on the continent. We're steering clear of harem elements, ensuring no dull characters or dialogues. If you're intrigued, welcome to our journey.
Promising since it's a rewrite of a good novel. Waiting for more chapters to have a definitive review.
The older version had a better development and writing. this version is at least 4-5 levels lower than the older one.
Haha I orginally came here to cry for Fray to get an ending but have realized that this is still Frays story just different last name.🥳🙌
i don't know why author writting this novel again with new plot when Mc have a same old pushover type this hole novel story based on pushover who shoulders the responsibility of main character what a waste of time only pushovers like this theme.. I hate the original and believe me core of story is same so you can skip this pushover to some of yours losers friends
Reveal Spoiler
Just curious why did u end the villians side of the story so abruptly ?
70+ chapters and I can confidently say that this version is better than the 1st one: - Characters felt alive and vibrant. - Good action and great fight description. - Fray is undergoing consistent character development. - Consistent storytelling. Points of Improvement: - Updating frequency is on the slow side. On a good week only 2-3 chapters. - We still need to see better foreshadowing to add more mystery to the novel (Rin’s backstory is looking good, for example) Overall, Amazing work author, wish we could see more of Fray x Zina (this was missing too in the other novel).
honestly, i see drop in quality in your new story. the way u write it as if the reader already read your old story. story facing is too fast. too many lost tidbits, n most importanly your character less conviction. you make adam personality like an exited teenagers.
The previous version was quite well written and since you said you steer clear of harem elements in this rewrite, it'll be an enjoyable read. Also, the fact it is still FrayXZina is going to be amazing. I just hope there's no redemption arc for Aslin and Luke.
I really really like the idea of making each one of the characters related to a unique plot throughout the novel, I can't wait to see how it will end
Good story and realistic Narrative, I really feel that MC's actions were exactly what I would have done if I were in his place. Also, I really like his personality Ruthless yet not evil. smart and don't search for trouble just to be a villain like what we used to see
What happened to the other story about the guy who chose intelligence over the other stats and was shunned ?
Was this drop? Been enjoying this but haven’t seen anything for a while. Hope to read more in the near future.
The author says he will upload 7 chaps every week at once buuuttt😑
