The Blond Villain in the Phoenix-Aotian Novel Wants Happiness Too

The author's grasp of pacing and structure is terrible, with no clear distinction between primary and secondary elements. The protagonist is forever relegated to a clown dancing in the villain's hands, relying solely on deus ex machina and inexplicable power-ups and breakthroughs to turn the tide. This makes the story increasingly boring and drawn-out, serving no purpose other than frustrating the reader. Furthermore, the forced, incongruous daily banter often fails to adjust the pacing and atmosphere, instead creating a disjointed feel. Read with caution; don't be lazy and buy it without a refund.

The first volume was a complete disaster. The early drugging incident nearly killed the protagonist, and the Duke's mansion, having just experienced several incidents, saw the protagonist's father leave with his wife and a few trusted men to protect him, leaving the protagonist and a maid behind. It's baffling that such a large mansion had so few skilled fighters, yet they dared to leave such a weakling like the protagonist in their home. The rest was mediocre, but the handling of Ann was a pleasant surprise; she scared the yandere quite well. The second volume, the senior's arc, was excellent. It depicted the protagonist's growth from a good-for-nothing playboy into a capable warrior, building his own army through his own efforts to challenge others for his woman...

The early parts were alright, but things got frustrating in the Kingdom arc. The protagonist's intelligence seemed forced down, and later it was clear the author was trying to add ensemble elements and cross-time settings. One or two plot twists would have been enough, but the constant back-and-forth introducing awkward and strange concepts was exhausting. The point of this book is for readers to enjoy the action—fights, happy moments with beautiful girls, and that's it. Instead, the protagonist is constantly getting beaten up, ambushed, hunted down, resurrected, and having time-reversals. It's really tiring to read. Furthermore, the author has a major flaw: a penchant for large leaps in character description. One sentence might be about Mu En, and the next it's about someone completely out of the blue...

Something came up; I'll add more later.

The latest chapter touches on time travel, and many questions seem to be becoming clearer. It looks like the next part will involve the blond guy traveling back a thousand years to complete the old loli's mission of restoring order. However, this process will inevitably involve classic amnesia or sealed memories. Of course, it could also be due to the so-called "law of silence," preventing him from speaking about certain things (without these restrictions, let's ignore the time paradox; it would undoubtedly create another timeline, leading to parallel universes, so these things are definitely going to happen). It feels like the blond guy's first impression of the old loli is already there; for example, when he goes to a place and hears that the so-called Mera Domir is the most outstanding person in thousands of years...

Author, you've written very well already. This chapter resolves the plot holes and details left unresolved earlier, which was meticulous work, difficult, and not easy. You can refer to other similar plots for inspiration. I believe your hard work will eventually pay off. Keep it up!

The male lead risked his life for them, yet afterwards, not only did they not understand him, they even punished him, showing absolutely no sympathy. That's not all; when he was in the most danger, none of them were there, practically useless, leaving him to carry the entire burden alone. Did they ever consider that they were standing here because of his sacrifice, and instead of helping him, they bossed him around? It was incredibly frustrating to watch. And the male lead, despite risking his life himself, acted like a servant in front of them, terrified of them, showing no backbone whatsoever. He...

Accompaniment: This life is wasted. "You should inflict pain on others, not forgive them; you should make everyone hate you... That way, you can belong to me alone." -- An. "What do you think so many girls like me for? Because of my character? Don't I have any self-awareness? What's my reputation like? It's all because of my blond hair." -- Mu En. He drugged the princess, disrespected royalty, gave Noel a holiday, had an assassin infiltrate the school to slack off, was lazy and uneducated, allowed his lackeys to run amok, bullied the female lead, refused to drink the sleeping tea, forced the maid to fight, insisted on eating fresh fish, made An travel a long way to borrow the power of the Withered King and not return it, mocked Xiao Ai, left behind a tragic relationship, and publicly apologized on his knees regardless of the occasion...

Xly Eternal Guardian rewarded the author with a "Little Loli Heart" gift worth 100,000 Fire Coins.

By the standards of a typical novel, the plot of the later volumes does indeed seem rather ordinary, with many scenes becoming repetitive and the formula increasingly obvious, leading to some reader fatigue. If judged from the perspective of a serious work, the development might feel unoriginal, even somewhat perfunctory. But honestly, how many readers actually came to this novel for a meticulously crafted plot? Aren't most people reading it as a "royal book"? Since its target audience leans towards this genre, whether the plot is logical or tightly woven isn't that important. As long as the necessary plot points are there and the atmosphere is engaging, it's a good read...
