I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain?

My Thoughts on I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain?

I dove into "I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain?" with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, given its intriguing title. The premise of an already god-level MC being asked to play a minor villain role is certainly unique, and I was eager to see how the author would pull it off.

First Impressions

Initially, I was a bit disoriented. The story throws you into the deep end with a powerful MC, leaving me scrambling to understand the world's rules and power dynamics. The initial chapters felt rushed, with a lack of detailed explanations about the world and the MC's established power. I felt as if I was missing key context needed to fully immerse myself in the narrative.

What Works Well

Despite my initial disorientation, the novel does have some redeeming qualities. The concept of an overpowered villain MC is executed well, and I liked that the "protagonists" he encounters don't have plot armor. The MC's ruthlessness and cunning are definite highlights. Furthermore, the system cheat given to the MC later in the story doesn't feel like a crutch but, instead, provides useful buffs that complement his already formidable abilities. I found myself particularly intrigued by the unfolding conspiracy and curious to see where the author plans to take the story.

Areas of Concern

My biggest issue is the story's pacing and world-building. At times, the narrative felt disjointed and lacking in detailed descriptions. The initial setup felt rushed, leaving me with unanswered questions about the world's mechanics and the MC's past. This lack of depth made it difficult for me to fully connect with the characters and the overall plot. I also agree that the MC's interactions could be more engaging.

Final Verdict

"I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain?" is a mixed bag. While the core concept and ruthless MC are appealing, the execution suffers from pacing issues and a lack of detailed world-building. If you're looking for a unique take on the villain protagonist trope and are willing to overlook some narrative shortcomings, this novel might be worth a try. However, those who prefer a more immersive and well-developed world might find themselves wanting more.
