Description

“Please, become Atalante Blanc.” Being proposed by the man she was supposed to kill, in a nutshell, it s**ked. Atalante went against her foster father’s last words to be a good child, and became the boss of the underground organisation. She received a request from the Emperor to assassinate the tyrant, Grand Duke Lionel Blanc. Of course, there was also a suggestion to bewitch him. ‘As long as I finish this, I can wash my hands off from the underground.’ After assassinating the Grand Duke, she dreamt of halting all villainous acts and living peacefully with her group’s members, but what was this? “What’s your name?” As the Grand Duke asked for his assassin’s name, he was blushing. His eyes, definitely… they were ones of someone that had fallen in love. Love potion. Because of that absurd drug, Atalante had stolen the heart that she wanted to cease. As Atalante was half-forcibly ascended to Grand Duchess’s position, she made a resolution. Since the situation was like that, she’ll reap a substantial profit before divorcing him, just like the part of a villain. However… “I don’t have any intention of letting go of someone that’s mine.” “What?” “In this world, I only have one person, and that is my wife, you.” It seems that it would be a little difficult to actualize her resolution.

My Thoughts on When A Villain Meets A Villain

First Impressions

"When A Villain Meets A Villain" immediately grabbed my attention with its intriguing premise. The idea of two morally ambiguous characters, a powerful female assassin and a seemingly heartless male lead, colliding in a world of organized crime and European ambience, felt like a recipe for a compelling story. The tags, especially "male yandere" and "love interest falls in love first," definitely piqued my interest.

What Works Well

The dynamic between the leads is undeniably the strongest aspect of this novel. The female lead is portrayed as a strong and capable Grand Duchess with a hidden soft side, fiercely protective of those she cares about. The male lead, with his mysterious immortality and unwavering devotion to the FL, creates a fascinating contrast. The story explores the development of their relationship, with the FL gradually falling in love around the 50-chapter mark. The blend of action, romance, and comedy keeps the story engaging, and the European setting adds a layer of sophistication to the narrative.

Areas of Concern

One element that I found somewhat problematic was the portrayal of the FL's character. While she is initially presented as strong and independent, I felt her strength seemed to diminish around the male lead. This imbalance in power dynamics, even within a romance, can be a little off-putting. It's a common trope, but I always hope for a female lead who maintains her agency throughout the story.

Final Verdict

Overall, "When A Villain Meets A Villain" is an enjoyable read with a captivating premise and engaging characters. While the portrayal of the FL's strength and the love potion subplot could be refined, the strengths of the novel outweigh its weaknesses. The dynamic between the leads, the action, the romance, and the intriguing mysteries make it a worthwhile read for those who enjoy morally grey characters and complex relationships. I'd give it a solid 3.7/5.
