My Thoughts on I Lived with the Villain in the ’70s

This novel had such a unique premise that I was excited to dive in. The idea of a modern woman transmigrating into a 1970s setting and marrying a man with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) felt fresh and full of potential. While I found aspects of the story enjoyable, several elements ultimately left me feeling conflicted.

First Impressions

Initially, I was hooked by the lighthearted writing style and the intriguing dynamic between the protagonist, Lin Xiaoyue, and the three personalities of her husband, Yan Yang. The setting of 1970s China added an interesting layer to the story, and I was curious to see how Lin Xiaoyue would navigate this new world and help Yan Yang cope with his condition.

What Works Well

I appreciated the novel's exploration of family dynamics and the challenges of life in rural China during that era. The relationship between Lin Xiaoyue and her mother-in-law was particularly heartwarming, and I enjoyed seeing them work together to protect their family. Many readers praised the author's creation of the male lead and his multiple personalities.

Areas of Concern

However, as the story progressed, I found myself increasingly uncomfortable with several aspects. Lin Xiaoyue's blatant favoritism towards one of Yan Yang's personalities, the "fierce" one, felt problematic. I can understand her feeling more secure with him, but her actions often seemed to disregard the feelings and needs of the other personalities, especially the main one. It felt like she was treating them as separate people rather than parts of a whole.

Final Verdict

Overall, "I Lived with the Villain in the ’70s" is a mixed bag. The premise is intriguing, and there are moments of genuine warmth and humor. However, the flawed protagonist, the uneven pacing, and the problematic handling of mental illness ultimately detracted from my enjoyment. I'd recommend this only to readers who are willing to overlook these issues and appreciate the novel for its unique setting and relationship dynamics.
