The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want a Doomed Ending

This is still on the top recommendation list? After all these years, it's clear it's a complete cesspool now.

A novel that introduces a female character who is prettier and stronger than the female lead, creates a romantic pairing between them, and involves various pimping activities—and this kind of novel is actually considered the best of the year?!

The most frustrating part of the book was Lillian's section. After the male protagonist was childlike, he became a complete waste of space—not in terms of ability, but in terms of his thinking. There was absolutely no sense of immersion in the story. That entire section, besides highlighting the male protagonist's inhuman nature, was simply irritating. Personally, I don't object to harems, but the protagonist needs the ability and corresponding mindset to build one. The male protagonist in this book develops his harem far too passively. The author deliberately obscures his thinking about relationships. In the process of building his harem, he basically never considers what happens to the previous girls after he gets with the next one, or how to handle emotional conflicts. It's all left to the girls to manage themselves. And the girls all fall in love with him because he's willing to risk his life for them. All the girls are pretty much the same. Frankly, I find it quite absurd. If the protagonist used a death-reincarnation method like Subaru in Re: Zero to save people, it would be more plausible. Otherwise, with so little experience, how can he expect others to be so devoted?

This book was like a revisit for me, and I genuinely struggled to keep up halfway through. In the Lillian arc, the protagonist's logic was childish; his conversations with other female characters lacked logic, making him seem almost like a machine. Regardless of the earlier parts, the handling of the romantic subplots was acceptable on their own, but when it came to the harem aspect, a barrage of flaws surfaced. The protagonist became indistinguishable from a typical Japanese light novel protagonist—gentle and considerate, indecisive, and lacking any awareness of the importance of a harem, constantly stringing the heroines along after they'd faced life-or-death trials. Then, in the Lillian arc, to advance the plot, he completely disregarded the trust he'd built with the previous heroines. The entire abandonment was a brainless act. The female leads demanded an explanation, threatening to end the relationship otherwise. The male lead panicked and then did a series of actions, but these actions were like third-rate isekai toilet paper—brainless statements made to advance the plot and develop the relationship. Now I understand why I quit the series back then. The plot was driven solely by eliminating female characters, and after confirming that he could change the story, the handling of the romance was terrible. It was just a coincidence that the relationship was ruined when it was about to take a step further. It was just a coincidence that he knew the female leads liked him but remained silent. It was just inexplicable that the protagonist knew his own feelings. Ugh, he just dragged things out, just kept them hanging. Hmm~ I suddenly feel like the protagonist of an anime, a Pro Max version of Tomoya Anichi. I'm so awesome! Now that I think about it, it seems even more like him. Oh my god, I finally came back to this app and saw that I had purchased the entire book. I had forgotten most of the plot, so I thought I'd come back and reread it. I haven't found any good novels lately, so I thought I'd revisit this one. But halfway through, I just couldn't hold back anymore. #(Sweat)#(sweat)

I'm not sure how it goes later, but the beginning is a mess. The writing is poor, and the author seems to really enjoy awkward phrasing. It feels like reading a book from over ten years ago. You can try to write a comedic protagonist or a sarcastic commentary, but if you can't control the writing style, the result is a jumbled mess.

Saves money, the author made a fortune, and a bunch of trolls are coming to nitpick. The comments section is unreliable; there are some flaws, but you can read it without worry. The part about a supporting character awakening GalGame memories and starting a harem is fabricated. The real flaw is that the supporting character is actually the reincarnation of a thousand-year-old ghost, a couple with the male protagonist's ancestor, but has absolutely no relation to the four female leads. I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, find some browser resources to read it yourself. This book is very popular; you can find tons of copies online. After reading it, you'll know whether what I said is true or false.

First of all, there's no concept of a past life; it's a visual novel. If you're going to claim it's a past life, then all infinite flow novels are toxic, breaking up couples is a heinous crime. Don't criticize if you haven't read it. Paul's situation doesn't count as giving away a girl. The male protagonist and Caroline's ancestor exchanged only three sentences before starting a fight, having no prior interaction. After the fight, Paul and Caroline recognized each other. Of course, this does give the male protagonist a huge generational leap—Paul is actually a thousand-year-old elder—which is a bit toxic, but he has no connection to the female protagonist in the main story. The fact that the male protagonist already has a child halfway through the story isn't a forced addition.

I came back to check the comments section and it's such a mess. Most of the comments are from people who haven't even read the book and are just making up their own plots to criticize it. The book has been finished for so long, are there still paid trolls here?

This book gets more and more boring the longer it drags on. The male protagonist was somewhat decent in the beginning, but later he became nothing more than a Japanese-style gentle vase. The second half of the book is basically not worth reading; it's just a drag.

Why are there no book reviews in the comments section?
