I am a Gao Fushuai Villain Chapter 130 Discussion

  • #1
Thoroughly enjoyed it

think of it more like a satire of normal 'urban' genre tropes, while following a few of said tropes itself and being fairly self aware about it.

Also his actions while reprehensible at times make sense under the context that he believes it to be a novel world/ simulation. The world itself favors the 'original' protagonist and would willingly change up fate to make said thing happen

i do think a lot of the 1 star reviews are unjustified but oh well thats how reviews work

Edit: so theres a bunch of things I didnt point out in my original review cause rather than exactly good points, it more the common flaws that aren't present, but seems like I should include them anyways

The MC adjusts fast, or rather blindingly fast. He gets transmigrated, takes a second or two to adjust and bam that's it. His persona changed literally mid conversation with the other character. And yes while that's way too perfect,

its still better than taking months to adjust, being scared of everything and hiding in a corner, avoiding every single other person cause you fear they're about to kill you just because they like look at you and instantly realize you're a completely different person and stab you or something, or run away from them cause of the 'bad things' the 'original' character did to them.

At least he owns up to it, sure he may have been a villain but now that the person's changed, he can make amends fix the situation, try to improve and thats about what he does if you think about it. He gains stats and skills as if he's playing a dating sim rather than trying to beat the 'original mc' but that's quite good as well. Raising charisma or strength/ reflexes. Tho unlike dating sims there isnt a particular requirement for each girl, nor is he forced into a particular route and is free to execute his choices as he likes

one slight dissatisfaction I have with it is another flaw it shares with dating sims which is representing relationships using a numerical score, though the novel even openly admits that its a flawed way to look at relationships and to take the number more as an assumption than anything. But in context it makes sense cause how else could the system represent progress other than numbers?

The other reviewer, pointing out his relationship with yan yurue, while there is a point to it, he heavily exaggerates it. The translator's review also goes fairly in depth explaining another line of reasoning so I won't be repeating it here. All in all, still a very good novel, has its flaws and minor nitpicks but for what it's trying to do, it does it really well.
