Description
I possessed a worthless extra who bullied the protagonist and got expelled after being “taught a lesson.” It’s a small relief that I know the original plot, but the real problem is that this novel’s world is headed for destruction. There’s only one way to survive in this damned world: somehow help the protagonist and prevent the apocalypse. But all I get are looks full of contempt from everyone around me. “Hah, it’s too late to change the setting now…” Fine, so what if I’m alone? A villain survives using a villain’s methods. Protagonist or not—I’ll survive this my own way.

My Thoughts on How to Survive as a T*ash Extra Villain
Alright, let's dive into "How to Survive as a T*ash Extra Villain." This web novel presents a fascinating premise: a grown man transmigrates into the body of a villainous character, not of his own making, and must navigate a world very much not of his own making. I went in expecting a power fantasy, but what I found was a bit more nuanced.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the concept. The idea of a protagonist burdened with the sins of his predecessor, trying to avoid a predetermined, unpleasant fate, is inherently appealing. The European-esque fantasy world, complete with magic, academies, and political intrigue, felt familiar yet intriguing.
What Works Well
The story shines in its character interactions. The dynamic between the protagonist and his maid, along with his relationship with Luri, is particularly well-executed. These slice-of-life moments offer a welcome respite from the overarching plot, adding depth and relatability to the characters. I also appreciated the author's attempt to subvert the typical "villain redemption" trope. Instead of immediately cozying up to the protagonist's group, our MC maintains a certain distance, leading to some humorous and unexpected situations. The plot, at least up to the point I've read, has held my attention, and I'm genuinely curious to see where it goes.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that gave me pause was the protagonist's behavior. While I understand the desire to portray a flawed character, his pettiness and anger towards the protagonist's party, especially given their age, felt somewhat jarring. I can appreciate that the author might be aiming for a gradual character arc, but I do think a balance needs to be struck to maintain reader engagement. I also think that the MC's inferiority complex is a bit overdone.
Final Verdict
Overall, "How to Survive as a T*ash Extra Villain" is an enjoyable read with a lot of potential. While the protagonist's initial characterization might not appeal to everyone, the engaging plot, well-developed characters, and unique take on the villain-protagonist dynamic make it worth checking out. I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of this story.
