I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan Chapter 94 Discussion

I’ll try to refrain from spoiling too much I rated this novel low because of my own views but I still think it’s worth a read.

Starting off the translation is amazing and I’ll definitely check out more books on galaxy translations.

This book lacks depth from plot to character development.

I don’t find myself nearly invested in trying to understand the characters or story because of the lack of substance.

I don’t feel attached to the MC despite the less than stellar circumstances he ended up in, I am majorly disappointed with the authors lack of finesse to get the main theme of their novel across.

”To have lived is to be loved”

The mc’s personality is too fickle/annoying for my taste but I understand his thoughts and actions however I can’t accept it. Constantly pushing the ML away because his own insecurities cloud his judgement would be comical if it added anything to the plot but it doesn’t.

The author uses the mc’s self sabotage to develop the story without actually developing the character—it’s a bit mad. Were told time and time again that the MC is living selfishly but I really don’t see it that way he behaves more like a coward to be honest.

He realizes that he’s going to die within a year but falters with the one meaningful relationship he’s created for what?

Because he doesn’t think he deserves it. From the small footnotes we get of his previous life his family didn’t care about him and his first attempt at making a friend that understood his sexuality ended with him being killed.

The MC craves human affection and intimacy which is why he tried and still tries to create new relationships* but when it comes to the ML it always sours when he’s on the receiving end because he can’t understand it, he may have come to terms with his death but he still doesn’t understand that there’s real people in front of him instead of words on a page.

*Spoiler

I can’t tell if the author did this on purpose or not but why did they make the ML his only safe space? It seems like they’re telling us every new person the MC meets will be terrible and take advantage of him so he should stick with the ML that’s honest and it’s a bit??? It feels very lazy and limits the world building and plot IMO.

[collapse]

He doesn’t see the ML as a real person when it comes to his depth of affection yet he knows when he’s hurting him and continues to do so, the MC hurts himself and others because that’s the only thing he can control and knows best but he’s not living selflessly he’s living like a dead man.

The scariest thing before death is change because you’re still alive when it happens.

The MC has created a false sense of security by falling into repetition, if he were truly selfless he wouldn’t be afraid of experiencing the ups and downs of life because that’s what living is.

Spoiler

I know the MC doesn’t die at the end for whatever reason the author pulled at their ass

[collapse] but this is ridiculous the story could’ve been over at chapter 80 but the author drags stuff out that it becomes a blur. The pacing is alright but everything feels lackluster.
