So, when Guan Luowei wants to use her to kill enemies, she avoids the enemy’s weapons by 360 degrees. When Guan Luowei wants to use her to scout enemy information, she clings to Guan Luowei’s leg, refusing to go no matter what. Gradually, Guan Luowei notices something is wrong. When she takes the sword to a swordsmith for inspection, the swordsmith’s eyes light up: “This is a good thing! It’s awakened a sword spirit!” But when Guan Luowei describes its strange behavior, the swordsmith ponders for a long time and finally says cautiously: “Perhaps… it’s just a bit delicate?” Guan Luowei: “……” •••• Guan Luowei is reborn, and the biggest change is this weapon that has been with her for a lifetime.

When she is chased and killed, the sword suddenly becomes incredibly brave, its blade breaking for her sake, almost causing it to dissipate. Guan Luowei has always known that there is a young woman living inside the sword. The young woman’s voice is beautiful and pleasant, but she never shows herself. Until one day, while she is bathing, she opens her eyes and suddenly meets a pair of pure and clear eyes. •••• A s*upid bottom who only wants to survive vs. A powerful top who only wants to destroy the world.

Transmigrated As The Villain’s Sword (GL) Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Transmigrated As The Villain’s Sword (GL)
"Transmigrated As The Villain’s Sword (GL)" presents a unique premise that initially hooked me: a protagonist reincarnated as a sword. The story blends comedy, drama, and xianxia elements, promising a fun and engaging read. After diving in, I found myself agreeing with many readers – there's a lot to enjoy, but also some aspects that could be stronger.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are definitely the strongest. The comedic dynamic between Ling Chenyan, the sword, and Guan Luowei, the wielder, is pure gold. The author cleverly uses Ling Chenyan's internal thoughts to create hilarious situations, and I found myself grinning constantly. The world-building is intriguing, drawing me into the xianxia setting with its own unique twists.
What Works Well
The lighthearted tone, for the most part, works wonders. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, allowing for plenty of comedic moments and witty banter. I particularly enjoyed Ling Chenyan's character. Her initial reluctance to become a hero, driven by a strong desire to survive, is relatable and adds depth to her personality. The relationship between Ling Chenyan and Guan Luowei is also well-developed, with a clear progression from initial awkwardness to a deeper connection.
Areas of Concern
As the story progresses, the tonal shifts become more jarring. The balance between comedy and drama falters, especially during high-stakes moments. Ling Chenyan's character, while initially enjoyable, suffers from some inconsistencies. Her moments of "uselessness" later in the story felt out of place and disrupted the narrative flow. The handling of Ling Chenyan's character development, particularly her shift towards embracing a heroic role, felt somewhat rushed and unearned, leaving me less invested in her journey.
Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "Transmigrated As The Villain’s Sword (GL)" is still an enjoyable read, especially if you're looking for a lighthearted xianxia with a unique twist. The premise is intriguing, the characters are engaging, and the comedic elements are well-executed. However, be prepared for some tonal inconsistencies and potential frustrations with character development later in the story. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try, but with tempered expectations.
