This Delusional Voice Keeps Telling Me I’m a Villain Novel Review

My Thoughts on This Delusional Voice Keeps Telling Me I’m a Villain

"This Delusional Voice Keeps Telling Me I’m a Villain" promised a fluffy, comedic escape, and for the most part, it delivered. I found myself chuckling at the absurd situations and the sheer contrast between the MC's inner thoughts and outward actions. This novel is a fun ride that might be perfect for when you want to sit back and not think too hard.

First Impressions

The initial chapters hooked me with the premise: a protagonist, Urschel, plagued by a "delusional voice" pushing him toward villainy, while all he wants is sweets. The concept is unique, and the initial execution is charming. The European-inspired fantasy setting added to the appeal, creating a whimsical backdrop for the unfolding events. I was immediately drawn to Urschel's character.

What Works Well

Urschel is, without a doubt, the star of the show. Many readers, including myself, found him incredibly endearing. His single-minded obsession with sweets, combined with his surprisingly sharp intellect, makes for an entertaining combination. I appreciated that he wasn't just a clueless pushover; he actively worked to protect his family, showcasing a caring side that balanced his more comedic tendencies. The romance, while perhaps a little too easy for some, was undeniably sweet. The male lead's initial reservations gradually melting away as he recognized Urschel's genuine nature was a satisfying arc. The humor throughout the story is definitely a strong point. The internal monologues contrasting Urschel's desires with the "villainous" prompts from the voice had me laughing out loud more than once.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the lightheartedness of the novel, I can understand why some might find the MC's constant focus on sweets a bit repetitive. I did notice that his character's actions can seem inconsistent at times, which can feel jarring. While the plot is present, it sometimes takes a backseat to Urschel's sugar-fueled antics, which might frustrate readers looking for a more intricate storyline. Also, some aspects of the world-building felt underdeveloped.

Final Verdict

Overall, "This Delusional Voice Keeps Telling Me I’m a Villain" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're in the mood for something light, fluffy, and humorous. While it may not be a masterpiece of intricate plotting or deep character development, it offers a delightful escape with a lovable protagonist and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I'd recommend it to anyone seeking a sweet and silly fantasy romance.
