It really is an interesting twist of the Urban genre where MC plays as a villain and counter-attacking the protagonist with the help of a system. Basically, MC's job is to kill the protagonist but he can't do it directly, he needs to shave off the protagonist's halo, luck and plot armor layer by layer. Since MC knows the complete story of the novel he is in, he needs to steal the protagonist's harem, backing, opportunities and reverse the story that would harm the protagonist instead.The interesting part of the story is the part where MC starts before the protagonist is being introduced, he plans and counters every move that the protagonist would take and the system would reward him by doing so. As I have read until chapter 385, I can conclude that it is mostly about MC stealing the protag's would be harem.The story is very linear and easy to digest, even the raw is somewhat readable. It is basically the same as any other urban novel except MC has a mission (stealing everything that protag would have) and so far there is no racism/china no.1 yet.The things that I don't like:
- it is too easy for MC to upgrade his skills to God-like level.
- although MC is the villain he doesn't seem like one and the protag doesn't act like a hero at all.
- although it is mention about Butterfly effect, the story doesn't really change that much from the original timeline despite MC changed many major events.
At first, judging by the system that he got 'Villain Counter-Attacking System' I am fairly sure that this is a world hopping novel but not until chapter 1++ that I noticed it is not. There are many protagonists in the novel and they will be introduced as the current protagonist is defeated and the system is upgraded. Up until chapter 385, it is still the first protagonist. Don't know how the author will write about the 2nd, 3rd... etc protagonists but I hope there won't be too many plot holes.
