Description
Lin Qingqing’s biological mother was an educated youth who abandoned her husband and daughter to return to the city, while her father, Lin Chengshan, took a bus to chase after his wife. At this moment, Lin Chengshan was reborn and decisively got off the bus. In his previous life, Lin Chengshan went to the city to chase after his wife, but she refused to come back and remarried. She went to be a stepmother to someone else’s child. When he returned home, his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter had drowned. Lin Chengshan spent his whole life seeking revenge on his ex-wife’s family, but he was merely a villain in a novel, unable to shake the main characters. Lin Qingqing thought her parents had abandoned her, but when she saw her father, her eyes lit up. This time, Lin Chengshan was determined to give his daughter a good life, from the countryside to the city, from kindergarten to university, making up for the regrets of his past life. At the same time, Lin Chengshan’s life experience was also revealed. He was not the biological son of the mean old woman Lin. This story is about a father who is reborn and works hard to make money while raising his child.

The Villain Who Dotes on His Daughter [1980s] Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Villain Who Dotes on His Daughter [1980s]
"The Villain Who Dotes on His Daughter [1980s]" promised a heartwarming tale of redemption and second chances, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing China. While I found certain aspects enjoyable, the story ultimately felt a little…underdeveloped.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably compelling. A flawed man gets a chance to rewrite his past, focusing on the daughter he previously neglected. The 1980s setting adds a layer of nostalgic charm, with the promise of witnessing China's economic boom through the eyes of our protagonist. I was eager to see how he would navigate the challenges of single parenthood and build a better life for himself and his child.
What Works Well
The core appeal lies in the "doting" aspect. Seeing the protagonist shower his daughter with love and attention is genuinely heartwarming. The slice-of-life elements are also well-executed, offering glimpses into everyday life in 1980s China. The novel does a decent job of portraying the close bond between father and daughter. The story is overall very cute and should be able to bring a smile to your face.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue lies with the protagonist himself. While the premise hinges on his transformation, I found him somewhat passive. It feels like things fall into his lap a little too easily, and he doesn't actively drive the plot as much as I would have liked. Before his rebirth, he was negligent and lovelorn, and after rebirth, he seems to just go with the flow. I also felt that the story lacked depth. The author introduces interesting elements, such as the economic changes and the challenges of single parenthood, but they aren't explored in enough detail to be truly engaging. The story is not bad, but it could be so much better with a more proactive and complex protagonist.
Final Verdict
"The Villain Who Dotes on His Daughter [1980s]" is a pleasant, feel-good read with a heartwarming premise. However, the passive protagonist and lack of intricate details prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a light and fluffy story about family and redemption, this might be worth your time. Just don't expect a deeply complex or groundbreaking narrative. I would give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars.
