Story Of A Villain
By 당밀
Description
In the deep mountains, there’s a secret resort called ‘Doyanghyang,’ which is sought after by the upper class. It’s styled as a luxury hanokresort and is sometimes called the ‘Avant-garde Palace’ of Korea. In this place, there are individuals known as fairies, who serve VIPs in a manner reminiscent of historical courtesans. Cheongwoo, who was originally hired as just a server, not a yojung, ends up being forced to serve exclusively in the annex of a wealthy guest after some time… “Are you poor?” The man asked with a smile that was both kind and cruel, the smile of an evil man. “I didn’t want to live like this either. But it was you, Director, who turned me into this. You threatened to cut off my ankles if I tried to escape. So why does it seem like all this is my fault?” “Does that mean it’s my fault your life is miserable?” Gu Wonjae, who had been quietly listening, responded with a slight frown. “Do you expect me to give to you without touching your beautiful body, just to perform charity?” “…” “Even if you run away without a single glance, I should just accept it, and despite countless rejections, I must always retreat politely?” “…” “Is there any value in that?” Gu Wonjae felt a sudden liking for the sight of Cheongwoo, with tears constantly dripping from his wet eyelashes. Seeing him like that, the dirty feeling he had been carrying seemed to ease a bit. Yeon Cheongwoo was crying beautifully, and it was because of Gu Wonjae, no one else but himself.

My Thoughts on Story Of A Villain
"Story Of A Villain" is definitely not your typical fluffy BL romance. It dives deep into dark themes and explores a relationship built on obsession and, at times, questionable consent. If you're looking for a feel-good story, this might not be it. However, if you're intrigued by morally grey characters and complex dynamics, then keep reading.
First Impressions
Initially, I was taken aback by the intensity of the story. The male lead, Gu Wonjae, is, as the title suggests, a villain. His actions are often ruthless and controlling, creating a very uncomfortable dynamic with the protagonist, Chungwoo. I questioned whether I could continue reading.
What Works Well
Despite the initial discomfort, I found myself drawn into the narrative. The author does a fantastic job of portraying the complexities of the characters, especially Gu Wonjae. While his actions are often reprehensible, there's a certain depth to him that makes him compelling. I appreciated the character development of Chungwoo as well. His unwavering devotion to his grandmother, even in the face of adversity, is admirable. As the story progresses, he transitions from a passive victim to a more active participant, which made me root for him even more. The mythological elements woven into the story add an extra layer of intrigue. The parallels between Gu Wonjae and Hades, with Chungwoo as his Persephone, are subtle but effective.
Areas of Concern
The dark themes and abusive elements can be triggering for some readers. The relationship between Gu Wonjae and Chungwoo is far from healthy, and it's important to approach this story with caution.

Final Verdict
"Story Of A Villain" is a dark and twisted tale that explores the complexities of obsession and control. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're looking for a story that challenges your perceptions of love and morality, this might be worth a read. I'm giving it a 3.5 out of 5. It's well-written and engaging, but the dark themes and potentially triggering content prevent me from giving it a higher score.
