And what’s more, he remembers that the fate awaiting him for partaking in evil deeds is to be purged, exiled, and condemned alongside the villainess.

My Thoughts on I Reincarnated As A Mob Villain In An Otome Game I Was Bashing Away At, But I’m Gonna Live Straight Because I Don’t Wanna Be Condemned (LN)
First Impressions
Okay, let's dive into this incredibly long-titled novel. The premise is pretty standard isekai fare: a guy gets reincarnated into an otome game, but this time as a mob villain. I've seen this trope done well, and I've seen it done… not so well. My initial reaction was cautiously optimistic, hoping for a fun twist on the familiar formula.
What Works Well
The core concept has potential. The idea of a protagonist trying to avoid a "condemned" ending by actively changing his fate in a world he knows from a game is inherently engaging. The reviews I read suggest the story, at its heart, is enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of the genre. There's a certain satisfaction in watching a character use their knowledge of the future to try and outsmart the system.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, there are some significant hurdles. The translation quality seems to be a major issue, with mentions of confusing sentence structure and inconsistent terminology. This kind of thing can really pull you out of the story and make it difficult to enjoy, no matter how interesting the plot is. I'm also a bit concerned about the pacing. It sounds like the plot progresses slowly, and that the author introduces interesting elements without fully exploring them. This could lead to a feeling of being teased with potential, only to be left wanting more.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Reincarnated As A Mob Villain..." seems like a mixed bag. The core story has potential, and if you're a die-hard fan of the genre, you might find it enjoyable despite its flaws. However, the issues with translation and pacing are significant concerns. If you're willing to overlook these shortcomings, there might be a fun story to uncover. Otherwise, it might be worth waiting for a revised translation or more substantial plot development before diving in. For now, I'd give it a tentative 3/5.
