Description
Qiao Han has transformed into a supporting villain in a cultivation novel, replacing an engagement and becoming the companion of the male lead, Xiao Jiuci. However, at a critical moment in Xiao Jiuci’s downfall, Qiao Han cruelly abandons him. Xiao Jiuci is handsome and talented, a shining new star in the immortal sect, but he suddenly falls from grace and becomes a target of everyone’s scorn. After enduring numerous hardships, he climbs back from the abyss to the peak, remaining true to his original intentions, consistently embodying a gentle and resolute character. Seeing such a good person suffer through life’s trials, Qiao Han is dissatisfied. Facing the top male lead of his heart, he decides to rebel against the system and alter the storyline. Goal: Help the beautiful, strong, and tragic male lead walk the path of a dragon rising to the heavens! System: Warning! Warning! Serious warning! You are a supporting villain and must execute the mission. Qiao Han: Come on, that’s my idol! How can my idol suffer?! Fortune, beauties, rare treasures… All of them are his! Others: Qiao Han, so ingratiating, clearly just using you to rise up. Xiao Jiuci: He is my nominal companion. Others: Qiao Han might like you. Xiao Jiuci: He said he doesn’t like men; he sees me as a brother. Others: Qiao Han is definitely deeply in love with you. Xiao Jiuci: … Then why did he want to dissolve the marriage contract? Soon, Qiao Han’s identity is questioned. Others: He’s guilty! Xiao Jiuci: He’s just trying to hide his feelings for me. Others: He has issues! Xiao Jiuci: He’s jealous, throwing a tantrum, deliberately trying to get my attention to force me to respond. Others: He has ulterior motives towards you! Xiao Jiuci: … If he has ulterior motives, so what? I’m not stopping him… Others: … Please rein in that love-struck brain! Finally, the crucial moment arrives. Xiao Jiuci must choose between two women at the edge of a cliff. Qiao Han, pretending to be the villain, kidnaps the two women most important to Xiao Jiuci. According to the original plot, this is supposed to escalate the tension, but as a devoted fan, Qiao Han absolutely won’t let his idol suffer. Qiao Han, covering his face: “You can only choose one.” Xiao Jiuci’s expression darkens, losing his usual warmth. According to what Qiao Han knows about him, he is genuinely angry. Qiao Han: “Hmph, you could also choose both, as long as you give me…” “Whichever, it doesn’t matter.” “Ah?” The two accomplices playing along: ??? “Whatever you want, Shixiong (senior brother) will give it to you. Don’t stand on the edge, it’s dangerous,” Xiao Jiuci says, his gaze falling on Qiao Han’s hand resting on the shoulders of the two women, his voice low and hoarse, like a sword hinting at being unsheathed: “Come here to Shixiong.” Seeing the dark clouds in his senior brother’s eyes, Qiao Han instinctively trembles, “Oh.” He obediently walks over. The two waiting in the wings: Lady, we’re out! Dog man! Is it impossible to perform without us? Keep your dog food to yourself!! Wasn’t this supposed to be about rising to the heavens and having beauties all around? Qiao Han: ??? Did I fall for him? *************************************************** • The main characters are pure in body and spirit; 1V1 • A fictional setting!

My Thoughts on It’s Hard for a Villain Character Not to Collapse
Okay, buckle up, because "It’s Hard for a Villain Character Not to Collapse" is quite the ride. I jumped in expecting some xuanhuan shenanigans and a healthy dose of BL romance, and while I wasn't entirely disappointed, there are definitely some things I want to unpack.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably catchy. We have Qiao Han, a die-hard fan who transmigrates into his idol’s world as a villain whose sole purpose is to make our ML's life a living hell. The fanboying is strong with this one, and his attempts to subvert the system while simultaneously simping for his idol, Xiao Jiuci, had me laughing. The initial chapters are well-paced and the dynamic between Qiao Han and Xiao Jiuci is absolutely hilarious.
What Works Well
The character development, especially in the earlier parts of the novel, is a strong point. Watching Xiao Jiuci, a stoic and righteous cultivator, slowly thaw under Qiao Han’s… unique brand of devotion is genuinely heartwarming. The plot, for the most part, is engaging, with Qiao Han’s efforts to expose evil sects and protect his idol providing plenty of entertainment. I also appreciated the variety of side characters, though some are definitely more fleshed out than others.
Areas of Concern
Here’s where things get a little dicey. A recurring issue that several readers, including myself, found problematic is the use of dub-con situations. While not always explicit, the frequency with which these scenarios appear can be quite uncomfortable. I also felt that Qiao Han's reluctance to acknowledge his feelings for Xiao Jiuci dragged on for far too long, bordering on frustrating. This, coupled with Xiao Jiuci's hesitancy to confess, created a romantic limbo that tested my patience. There's also a sense that the ending felt rushed, leaving some plot threads dangling.

Final Verdict
"It’s Hard for a Villain Character Not to Collapse" is a mixed bag. The initial premise, the humor, and the character dynamics are genuinely enjoyable. However, the problematic dub-con elements, the frustrating romantic tension, and the somewhat disjointed plot prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you can overlook these issues, you might find it a worthwhile read, especially if you're a fan of the "obsessed fanboy" trope. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, but be prepared for some bumps along the way. I'm settling on a 3.5/5.
