My Thoughts on I Am a Villain and My Identity Was Immediately Discovered

"I Am a Villain and My Identity Was Immediately Discovered" is a web novel with a premise that certainly grabbed my attention: a protagonist transmigrated as a villain who then decides to play Robin Hood. After diving in, I found it to be an enjoyable, albeit flawed, read.

First Impressions

The initial chapters are intriguing. The protagonist's decision to use his villainous role to help the downtrodden is a fun twist. The immediate discovery of his identity by the heroine adds a layer of tension and comedy. The university setting provides a relatable backdrop, and the early interactions between the MC and the heroine are promising.

What Works Well

I particularly enjoyed the morally upright and smart MC. His cleverness in navigating this new world is entertaining. The novel shines in its portrayal of characters with realistic human thoughts and emotions, even the villains. I appreciate the author's attempt to ground the story with relatable motivations and reactions. The mystery woven into the plot keeps me guessing, making me eager for each new chapter. I find the laid-back flow makes the story enjoyable to read.

Areas of Concern

While the premise is strong, the execution falters in some areas. Some readers might find the characters to be somewhat one-dimensional, leaning towards either overly good or laughably stupid. The writing style is a bit mediocre. The heroine is immature and has black and white views due to brainwashing.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Am a Villain and My Identity Was Immediately Discovered" is a mixed bag. It has a compelling premise and moments of brilliance, particularly in its character interactions and morally upright MC. However, the writing and occasional plot inconsistencies hold it back from being truly great. If you're looking for a lighthearted read with a clever protagonist and a unique twist on the villain trope, this might be worth checking out, but be prepared for some rough edges.
