Description
One day, the gates opened, and the world was thrown into chaos. At the same time, Sayun was confronted by a strange System Window. Forced into the role of a villain and slowly losing his mind, Sayun seizes upon a single clue to escape the damned System: he kidnaps Han Geonju. “…What do you want from me?” “Talent acquisition?” “You kidnap people for that? What are you, some mafia guild?” The System’s clue to escape lies in a disposition: The One Who Resists. To activate it, Sayun decides to raise Geonju to S-rank and stay close to him. He pampers him endlessly, calling him pretty, nurturing him with care, only for Geonju to disappear without a word just as he was on the verge of becoming an S-ranker. Eventually, Geonju returns… now as a full-fledged S-rank Hunter, standing before Sayun once more. “What the f*ck are you playing at?” “Do you like throwing people away like tr*sh?” Who was the one who abandoned whom first? “If you want to know what it feels like to crawl on all fours, go ahead and try running again.” A perilous reunion. Ominous signs from the gates. Will Sayun ever break free from the System?

My Thoughts on Even the Villain Has a Story
"Even the Villain Has a Story" is a web novel that grabbed my attention with its unique premise and morally grey protagonist. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, blending action, dark themes, and a slow-burn romance, making for a compelling, albeit sometimes challenging, read.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the concept of a protagonist forced into villainy by a cruel system. The early chapters set a dark and gritty tone, introducing Sayun, a character whose actions have genuine consequences. The blend of humor amidst the dark themes was a pleasant surprise, making the story engaging.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its characters, particularly Sayun. His internal struggles, his gradual changes, and his dark humor make him a fascinating protagonist. The author does an excellent job of portraying his trauma and the psychological toll of being forced to commit heinous acts. The world-building is also a strong point. The concept of Awakened individuals and the system forcing Sayun to accelerate the world's destruction creates a compelling backdrop for the story. Many readers praised the action sequences, describing them as exciting and intense. The dynamic between Sayun and the male lead, Geonjoo, is a focal point, with their interactions being both amusing and heart-touching.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the story, some aspects gave me pause. The romance with the main lead felt somewhat lacking to me. I found the male lead to be a bit bland, and the chemistry wasn't always there. Some readers even expressed a preference for the second male lead, Jaehee, finding his dynamic with Sayun more compelling. Additionally, I think the story delves into dark themes, including su*cide ideation, which may be triggering for some readers.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Even the Villain Has a Story" is a worthwhile read, especially if you enjoy morally grey characters, dark themes, and complex relationships. While the romance with the main lead didn't entirely win me over, the strength of the protagonist and the intriguing plot kept me invested. Be mindful of the potentially triggering content, but if you're looking for a web novel that pushes boundaries and explores the psychological toll of forced villainy, this might be right up your alley. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
