Description

After transmigrating, I found myself as Go Yeonwoo, a side villain who mu*dered the protagonist, Woo Jiyoo, only to be brutally killed by a group of S-Class Espers. To make matters worse, the moment I transmigrated was right after killing Woo Jiyoo. But unlike the original story, Go Yeonwoo awakens as an S-Class Guide. The Espers, upon sensing Go Yeonwoo’s guiding energy, start acting differently from the original. “This bastard, let’s take him and use him as our personal sl*t. Just killing him would be too easy a punishment.” “We’ll make him regret killing Woo Jiyoo. I’ll have him begging for death by the end.” The S-Class Espers fake Go Yeonwoo’s death and imprison him in a secret place, forcing him to guide them. However, with his already twisted tastes, Go Yeonwoo finds the Espers’ obsessive behavior suffocatingly delightful. He even pretends to resist, encouraging them to treat him even more recklessly. But then… “Hey, are you seriously stopping after eating just this much? Are you planning to starve yourself to death?” “Get lost, Kang Taewon. Because of you, my sl*t can’t eat properly. I’ll feed him myself. Open wide, Yeonwoo.” “Yeonwoo, is there something you want to say to me? You were jealous enough to kill Jiyoo over it, weren’t you? If you tell me now, I’ll listen. Go ahead.” “You’re letting me hold you up? Does that mean you’re giving me permission now?”

My Thoughts on From Villain to S-Class Guide

Okay, let's dive into "From Villain to S-Class Guide." This novel definitely made a splash, and I had to see what all the buzz was about. It's a wild ride, that's for sure, and not always in a good way.

First Impressions

Right off the bat, it's clear this story isn't for the faint of heart. With tags like "abusive characters," "BDSM," and "cruel characters," you know you're stepping into some dark territory. The premise is intriguing: the MC transmigrates into the body of a villain who's just offed the protagonist and finds himself forced into the role of a guide for powerful espers. Sounds like a recipe for drama, right?

What Works Well

I will say, the potential for a compelling plot is there. The mystery surrounding the original Go Yeonwoo and the secrets of his past kept me somewhat engaged. The idea of the MC subtly manipulating the espers and turning the tables on them is also appealing. There are glimpses of a deeper story about revenge and uncovering hidden truths that could have been really captivating.

Areas of Concern

However, and this is a big however, the story seems overwhelmingly focused on the smut, and not always in a way that feels… good. Several readers pointed out that the plot progression feels incredibly slow because of the constant, repetitive NSFW content. I also heard that the character development is severely lacking. The espers start off as bad people and seemingly stay that way, with only superficial attempts at redemption. It seems the author tries to redeem them using small "acts of kindness" as they get more involved with MC, like being soft when having s#x and feeding him good food but they ultimately did not make them likeable in any regard. Honestly, it sounds like a missed opportunity to create some truly complex and morally grey characters.

Final Verdict

Ultimately, "From Villain to S-Class Guide" feels like a novel that prioritizes shock value and explicit content over a well-developed plot and compelling characters. If you're primarily looking for smut with dark themes, this might be your cup of tea. But if you're hoping for a story with depth, meaningful character arcs, and a satisfying plot, you might be left wanting more. For me, the potential was there, but the execution fell short.
