Description

Su Yunxi read a post-apocalyptic novel, and fell in love with the super invincible villain named Yu Bai. The poor villain was the one who defended his family and the country, but he was the one whose reputation got dirty, the one who was beaten by the pig’s feet (the protagonists in the book). It was him who made a room for the pig’s feet, and he was also the one who was almost killed. In short, he only moved the bricks in the story (only need to work). The pig’s feet were like two leeches biting on him, sucking his blood and eating his meat and wanting to kill him. Su Yunxi’s whole person was in chaos, what about the good villain, what about the bad protagonist?. He opened Du Niang (aka Baidu) and searched the definition of villain, “refers to those who are opposed to the positive characters, representatives of evil images, or incompatible with the protagonist in the story”. Seeing the last sentence, Su Yunxi felt like he had realized something, “I’m falling, so the so-called villain just because it doesn’t deal with the protagonist, he has a reputation as a villain”. Su Yunxi, who was distressed, grabbed his heart and pressed his mouth flatly, and then a long theoretical comment would put him down, sent him to the world of the book. He just opened his eyes and Yu Bai was standing in front of him. The man he loved was now in front of him,” How can I get the other party’s attention and get a good impression”.

My Thoughts on I Like The Man Who Is Said To Be The Villain

First Impressions

I dove into "I Like The Man Who Is Said To Be The Villain" expecting a fun, possibly angsty, apocalypse romance. The premise of a reader transmigrating into a novel to pamper the "villain" ML definitely piqued my interest. I was ready for some zombie action, maybe a bit of farming, and a whole lot of pining. What I got was... a mixed bag, to say the least.

What Works Well

The initial setup is undeniably charming. The MC, Su Yunxi, is driven and knows what he wants, which is to shower the ML, Yu Bo, with affection and protect him from the original novel's plot. I appreciated the focus on base-building and resource management, especially the farming aspect. It was a refreshing change from the usual zombie-slaying fare. The MC's golden finger, a space with farming capabilities, was a fun addition.

Areas of Concern

However, as I progressed, some issues began to surface. The pacing felt uneven, particularly towards the end, which felt rushed and incomplete. I also found the romance development a bit jarring. The ML's shift from cold and distant to romantically interested felt sudden and unearned. It lacked the slow burn and emotional depth I was hoping for.

The characters, while initially intriguing, sometimes fell flat. The original protagonists felt more like background props than actual threats. And while I enjoyed the MC's determination, his methods of pursuing the ML occasionally felt manipulative. This imbalance in the relationship dynamic left me feeling uneasy at times.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Like The Man Who Is Said To Be The Villain" is a decent read, but it falls short of its potential. The premise is intriguing, and the base-building elements are enjoyable. However, the uneven pacing, underdeveloped romance, and rushed ending ultimately detract from the experience. I'd recommend it as a light, sand-sculpture novel to be enjoyed without too much critical thought. I give it a 3.5/5.
