Villain Cultivator

i dont like this novel its too dark                                                                                    .

This webnovel is an absolute masterpiece. I've spent thousands of hours reading webnovels, and I am pretty sure there's many on this website who've done the same. This goes out to those avid webnovel readers like me, I guarantee this novel is worth reading.

I am gonna try and break down the novel into it's elements and explain why you should/shouldn't read this.

PROS:

1. Regarding the characters:

Characters are well fleshed out, even side characters. They actually seem like human beings with emotions, goals, interests.

Also, there's no ridiculously dumb 2-dimensional filler characters/villains. Unlike other webnovels you can't read 2-3 lines about a character, and instantly tell whether they're common mob A, a villain whose just gonna be MC's "stepping stone", or some sidekick to unconditionally bend over for MC.

Avid webnovel readers know what I am talking about.

2. Regarding the plot:

The novel is dynamic, and intriguing because it's hard to guess what's gonna happen next, and there's an actual sense of tension for the reader.

It's not one of those novels where the MC starts out against the weak villains and the strong villains only come out of the novel after MC has powered up enough to handle them.

Plot twists in the novel actually make sense and aren't there just because the author thinks it's about time to throw in a plot twist.

As far as I've read it's also great that there's no blatantly obvious plot holes.

3. Regarding the MC:

The main character isn't cliche

MC isn't an extremely talented supreme genius. He doesn't have an unbreakable will to move mountains. He doesn't have an unwavering heart of justice.
MC isn't one of those you've insulted my petty pride so I am gonna murder your entire clan, kill all the women and children, raze the buildings, and kill the dog.

Nor is MC one of those perfect do gooders that's gonna help every side character that's nice to him/he likes. He's not gonna be like "You gave me an apple so I am gonna protect your family from the demon king and turn you into a super powerful fighter capable of destroying mountains."

MC is human. MC is relatable because you can imagine yourself being capable of doing/reacting the same way in those situations. MC is looking out for his own interest and trying to stay alive. He's training to grow stronger to survive, but his growth is reasonable and understandable.

4. Regarding world building:

The world/environment the author depicts makes sense and isn't something unreasonable/unimaginable. In fact it makes more sense than common cultivation novel depictions of the world if cultivators existed.

There's no walls of text describing the ungodly beauty of a garden/lake or how huge a mountain range that's only gonna appear once in the story is. Descriptions and world building are to the point, enough to let the reader learn more about the environment the MC, while not boring the reader.

5. Novel has humour and a bit of fan service in it:

In my personal opinion I also like that the author balances humour and tension throughout the novel.

Plot and tension is good, but the author also includes a bit of "fun" stuff for the reader to enjoy, MC doesn't stay a virgin just because he's a complete wimp.

CONS/CON:

As far as I know most of the people who didn't like/didn't continue reading the novel stopped because of how dark it can be at times.

MC is coldblooded, and it may be off-putting to those used to reading novels where the MC is a champion of justice.

MC here won't hesitate to use any means at his disposal to achieve his goals, ABSOLUTELY ANY, and I say that without the least bit of exaggeration.

You're gonna read many novels about so called evil MCs, but the MC in this story makes many of them pale in comparison.

In Conclusion/TLDR:

If you took the time to read all that/skipped everything and are wondering whether to read it or not, read the first 40 chapters. You're almost certain to get hooked.

This is the first WN I’ve read on this app and I’ve read around 50 other WN’s inbetween this WN and the review (I used other sites to read WN’s until I actually made an account), so my memory might be a bit hazy in terms of story development and world background.

Writing Quality: 3.7/5
If I was the author I’d use a broader range of vocabulary, be more descriptive (quantity), and just have a detailed description (quality) if things like the surroundings, fights, etc.

Writing Stability: 5/5
Not much to say here, 7-8 chapters a week consistently which is very good imo.

Story Development: 3.2/5
Some plot holes here and there but nothing too major to the point where it’s detrimental to the story. It’s still too early to comment on this since this WN feels like it’ll easily be over 1000 chapters. I just hope the pace doesnt skyrocket out of nowhere and just becomes like your average cultivation novel right before the typical “holy continent” arc.

Character Design: 3.5/5
It’s an odd mix of some characters are bland, some have an alright design, and some feel like actual humans. The MC has some dumb things about his personality like being overly paranoid of the system and his sponser. This category was originally going to be a 2.5/5, but after reading the recent chapters it looks like the huge main female cast might finally be getting some character development, so I decided to bump it to a 3.5/5.

World Background: 3/5
From what I’ve read so far this has the potential to be a 5/5 if the author plans ahead carefully and doesn’t rush the rest of the story. In general, we haven’t been told that much about the world and beyond it, but it’s clear that the author has plans to talk about everything more in depth later on in the story.

This is my completely objective review so even though i gave it an overall rating of 3.6/5 that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t entertaining or that i didn’t enjoy it.

When VC reaches the 550 chapter mark I’ll update this review and make it way more detailed and in-depth, but until then the review stays as is. I hope everyone that reads this has a good day, cya

Due to the recent toxic comment(s) from a handful of readers (or an alt from a hater), it has come to me that some readers might have misunderstood the concept of this novel.

Therefore, I'm putting this review as a disclaimer, so these readers who are expecting a certain type of MC or a type of story can understand what they are getting into. And then, when they start flaming, I can just remind them of their ignorance.

What you will NOT see in this novel.
1. Fast-paced story
2. OP MC at the beginning of the story
3. Unyielding MC that refuses to bow down to anyone.
4. An evil MC that violates laws and order at the early story.
5. A Mary Sue, Gary Stu, Kirito-like MC that infinitely gains instant powerup without having to work hard.
6. An alpha MC that has a perfect personality and makes perfect decisions in every action.
7. A ruthless, reckless, and brainless MC that goes around and provoke everyone left and right because of a trivial matter.
8. Humorless dark story.


What you will SEE in this novel.
1. Slow-paced story.
2. An MC that understands these words and can put them into practice; "Compromise", "Tactical Retreat", "Surrender", "Mutual Interest and Benefit", and "Politics"
3. MC with a brain, but it fails to function properly sometimes, especially when his dick takes over.
4. MC NTRing other protagonists.
5. Plot twists.
6. Hard-working but mental MC
7. A semi-useless system, but it forces MC to work hard.
8. Toned down mature scenes.
9. Memes and Jojo References
10. THOTS, Mind-Breaking, Mind-Controlling, HAREMS.
11. Weak-to-Strong MC
12. Moderately Stupid-to-Military Genius MC
13. VILLAIN =/= EVIL
14. Protagonist =/= GOOD

I hope this would clarify the tone of this story. I'll edit this when there are changes.

In summary, to those readers that motherf-ckingly claimed that they are here looking for an evil mc and got disappointed when they found a mature MC with a politic face, they can just F off.

Now, I've warned you. You can roast me with your almighty insights, my dear trolls. I welcome all constructive criticisms that points out my mistakes, flaws, inconsistency, and advice on what I can do better. But personal attacks, toxic comments, and flaming will be instantly deleted.

I truly did not like this and simply couldn't read past chapter 14.

I felt as if i would simply die of frustration because of everything that was happening in the novel and the reasons behind it. The author aswell as other 'reviewers' have tried to make excusesfortheplain lack of logic and common sense, but with an mc who changes personality, has a naive trust for strangers from an entirely different planet that happen to remind him of those cultivation novel he read, previously confirmed by his 'system' (master)and makes unique life decisions considering he has 'read novels like this before', marries a girl because he feels sorry that he has no choice but to take her virginity, forced into situations by his useless system that incurs the death penalty for evry failure. The fact that a 60 year old former mma champion, a man who occasionally reads webnovels, predictably gets pushed around by trouble he has invited into his radar, being called a slave because of his haircut and not doing anything about it not five chapters later and not even having a stray thought about freeing himself.

Read until chapter 18 and from what I can see, MC, despite having lived till 60, acts like a brash 20 year old with severe anger issues. Granted he transmigrated (which he accepts way too easily considering he had a family) and was then taken advantage of, called a slave and then sent to a lion's den(op brothel). But what broke the I can still read this was how, through the use of a system skill, he brought the madam (not actually her, basically a puppet) of the brothel (sect) that he is now a part of and who 'adopted' him and says, Hahaha I don't believe I can't defeat(push you down, rape basically) you when you're at 1%(power) then proceeds to lose (die) 99 times then says that was idiotic, wasting all that precious training time.
I agree that was idiotic and way too forced.
Also first girl he f*cked, brothel girl, who he felt bad for so he says you'll be my wife and tells her he loves her after f*cking, with what I saw he doesn't have sympathy or compassion, so was the *** that good?

Odio infinitamente los autores que hacen a un MC con un sistema que solo sirve para hacer que el MC haga algo o muera, eso es una puta mierda, directamente no le dabas un sistema lo metías en la historia en modo extremo y listo

Read through 50 Chapters in 2 days.

It's really good, maybe wait for more chapters to accumulate tho?

Basic Transmigration, but instead of an OP MC we get OP Sidecharacter who is railroaded by the system into fighting all those protagonists and antagonists from the novels we know and hate.

Dude just wants to chill out and sleep with all the females, but other people have plans for him, so he is forced to become stronger while trying to survive/keep true to himself.

One important thing about this is: The MC is smart.
As in. Thinks ahead, never let's a clue unchecked, gathers information type thing. First 5-10 chapters are painful because he is still adapting to a new world and getting his bearings, but from then on this is a really good read.

I consider this a hidden gem in the trashheap of R-18 stories.
