I saw some readers mention this, and I agree that some of the earlier chapters felt a bit rough around the edges. Thankfully, the translation seems to have improved significantly, making the story much more enjoyable.

   First Impressions

   "I Will Fulfill the Role of the Villain" promised a clever protagonist embracing his role as the antagonist. While the initial premise hooked me, my experience was a bit of a rollercoaster, mirroring some of the sentiments I've seen from other readers.
