What a fun read!The story, the humor, the drama, and the misunderstanding *french kiss* very nice. The story is about our MC Dain transmigrated into his favorite comic book world and slowly becoming this big villain and arch nemesis of his favorite hero, Stardus. However, secretly he also made sure that no tragedy befall Stardus and also make sure he's giving her a hard time so that she can grow strong. Using he's comic book knowledge, he predicted future event, recruited other tragic villains (by saving them and make them join his harem-i mean villain group!) and occasionally kill off despicable villain.Now if you read other review the MC is a bit... well... insane, yes he is willing to mu*der people but the people he kills are villains who already have (or going to have, but he prevented it) lots of body count, he never kills innocent people, heck he even made an effort to make sure his act of villainy cause the least harm and zero casualty (which become a plot device later).But the main appeal of this story is Dain relationship with the main heroine, Stardus. Both of them start off pretty low profile, Dain being a medium rank villain and Stardus a medium rank hero (she's actually already pretty high rank but Korea the place they're in has an overall low rank hero rating) but then slow raise to this national high rank villain and hero while slowly through their confrontation the story and drama unfold. The relationship between them are the main hook, but the relationship between Dain and his "family" and friends are the other hook.See, Dain is a bit like Cale from tr*sh of the Count Family, he thinks he can just get away from saving someone life and give them a better life they can't possibly imagine while pushing his own body to the limit without facing consequences? No sir, you don't just disappear from some head and heart after that. This also apply to Stardus, again he became a villain just for her, she is his only light in this strange world, and you bet he will take a bullet for her. And oh boy he did, and lemme tell you, you just dont "become a villain in someone eyes" when you do that. Stardus internal struggle between trying to figure out his arch nemesis motive eventually become an obsession, and so hence the title.Its a fun read, though the first 30 chapters does feel like the author is trying to figure out the vibe of the novel, as the story has alot of reference and copy scenario from other movie (like the Batman dark knight) but after that its pretty consistent.Also, Mango is the best flavor!.... You'll get it once you read it
