Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?

My Thoughts on Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?

"Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?" is a novel that immediately grabbed my attention with its intriguing premise. It seemed like a wild ride, and after diving in, I can see why it's sparking such varied reactions from readers. The story follows a protagonist entangled with his adopted sisters, and let's just say, things get complicated.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a complex family dynamic and the "European ambience." The early chapters have a certain charm. However, it quickly became apparent that a major plot driver is, well, a severe lack of communication.

What Works Well

The author does a solid job of creating characters that evoke strong feelings. The sisters, in particular, are a source of much discussion. I found them to be fascinating, and others have agreed that they are well-developed, even if their actions are questionable. The emotional turmoil throughout the story is a major draw for many, and the overall writing is competent.

Areas of Concern

The biggest issue that kept cropping up for me was the constant misunderstandings. It feels like the protagonist and the sisters are operating on different wavelengths, and instead of clearing things up, they let problems fester. I can see how this would be frustrating for readers who prefer a more direct approach to conflict resolution. The protagonist's actions sometimes feel inconsistent, and it can be hard to root for him when he doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes. The world-building is also fairly minimal, which might disappoint those looking for a more immersive setting.

Final Verdict

"Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?" is a bit of a mixed bag. It has moments of brilliance, particularly in its character development and exploration of toxic relationships. However, the reliance on misunderstandings and the protagonist's questionable choices can be frustrating. If you're a fan of angsty dramas with morally gray characters and don't mind a bit of a bumpy ride, this might be worth checking out. However, if you prefer straightforward plots and characters who communicate effectively, you might want to steer clear. Ultimately, your enjoyment will depend on your tolerance for drama and your willingness to invest in a story driven by flawed individuals making questionable decisions.
