My Thoughts on How to Survive As a Villain
"How to Survive As a Villain" is quite the rollercoaster, and I'm still catching my breath after finishing it. This novel isn't afraid to tug at your heartstrings while simultaneously making you laugh out loud. It's a transmigration story that takes familiar tropes and twists them into something uniquely its own.
First Impressions
Initially, I was expecting a lighthearted comedy, and the early chapters definitely deliver on that front. The main character, Xiao Yuan, is a riot with his modern slang and carefree attitude. However, don't be fooled! This novel has a dark side, and it's not afraid to show it.
What Works Well
The character development is a major highlight. Xiao Yuan starts as a seemingly simple, easygoing guy, but as the story progresses, we see the layers of his personality and the depth of his past. His determination to protect those around him, even at his own expense, is admirable. The male lead, Yan Heqing, is also well-developed, with his own struggles and loyalties.
I also appreciated the intricate plot and the realistic portrayal of war and political machinations. The author doesn't shy away from the consequences of choices, and the characters face real hardships. The comedy is well-placed, offering moments of levity amidst the heavier themes. The romance, while angsty, is ultimately rewarding.
Areas of Concern
The angst can be a bit much at times. There are a lot of injuries, misunderstandings, and tragic events that can feel overwhelming. Some readers may find the main character's initial denseness frustrating, particularly his insistence on following the original plot even when it's clear things have changed.

Final Verdict
Despite its darker elements, "How to Survive As a Villain" is a compelling read that I would recommend, but with a warning. Be prepared for an emotional journey filled with laughter, tears, and heartbreak. It's a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
