They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

My Thoughts on They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent

This web novel, "They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent," certainly sparks a range of reactions. With its blend of fantasy, cultivation, and revenge, it's a story that aims to deliver on its promise of characters regretting their treatment of the protagonist. But does it succeed? Let's dive in.

First Impressions

The title itself is a major hook. I was immediately drawn in by the concept of an MC finally prioritizing himself and watching the consequences unfold. The tags – apathetic protagonist, reverse r*pe, transmigration – suggested a potentially dark and complex narrative. I was prepared for some heavy themes and, hopefully, some satisfying face-slapping.

What Works Well

The pacing of the regret is a definite strength. Unlike some revenge stories that drag on, this one seems to deliver relatively quickly, keeping the narrative engaging. I appreciate that the author makes the characters remember past events and how their actions have consequences. The MC's indifference is selective; he's not just an emotionless husk. He still shows respect and kindness to those who deserve it, which makes him more relatable. I also found the premise of the MC getting stronger and living his life to be an interesting way to get revenge. It's not always about actively seeking vengeance, but about people realizing what they lost.

Areas of Concern

While the concept is appealing, the execution seems to be divisive. Some readers have found the MC frustrating, even self-righteous, and suggest that he doesn't always act intelligently. The system element, while common in these types of stories, has also been criticized as unnecessary. It seems some of the side characters are caricatures and their actions often do not make sense.

Final Verdict

"They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent" is a web novel with a lot of potential, but some flaws. If you're looking for a revenge story with a cold protagonist and a bit of a harem, this might scratch that itch. However, be prepared for potentially frustrating character decisions and a plot that may not always make perfect sense. It's a mixed bag, but could be worth a read if you're in the mood for some guilty-pleasure revenge.
