Become the Sickly Villain in the Novel

My Thoughts on Become the Sickly Villain in the Novel

"Become the Sickly Villain in the Novel" presents an interesting twist on the transmigration genre, landing somewhere between a lighthearted read and a potentially frustrating experience, depending on your preferences. Having delved into the available chapters and considered the experiences of other readers, here's my take.

First Impressions

Initially, I was intrigued by the premise. A protagonist transmigrating into the body of a sickly villain? Sounds like a recipe for some entertaining chaos and perhaps a bit of heartwarming character development. The tags also promised doting love interests and a carefree MC, which piqued my interest. However, I quickly discovered that this novel is a fanfiction of "A Case of Transmigrating as a Sick Villain." This discovery led to some confusion, and, honestly, a bit of apprehension.

What Works Well

Despite the initial confusion, there are elements of the story that I found enjoyable. The easy-to-read writing style and relatively simple conflicts make it a good choice if you're looking for something to pass the time. Many readers praised the protagonist's ability to navigate complex relationships and heal the pasts of those around him. The absence of excessive angst and the focus on positive character interactions were definite pluses in my book. I also appreciated the fact that it seems to avoid the reverse harem trope, focusing instead on a 1v1 relationship.

Areas of Concern

My main concern, echoed by several readers, revolves around the potential "red flag" behavior of the love interests and even the protagonist's brother. The manipulation and attempts to control the MC, even if done with good intentions, raise some uncomfortable questions. While the MC's chill attitude might be appealing to some, others might find it frustrating that he seems to go along with everything without much resistance. Furthermore, the slow pace of the story could be a drawback for those seeking a more quickly unfolding narrative.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Become the Sickly Villain in the Novel" is a decent fanfiction that offers a light and fluffy take on the transmigration genre. If you're looking for a low-stakes story with a focus on healing relationships and don't mind potentially problematic character behaviors, this might be worth checking out. However, if you prefer strong, assertive protagonists and dislike manipulative love interests, you might want to proceed with caution. I'd give it a tentative 3/5 stars.
