The Villains I Raised All Died Chapter 28 Discussion

I just fcking couldn't with this anymore.

Let me tell you straight up. I thought the 1st arc was a masterpiece, it was funny but didn't shy away from getting his hands... dirty (lol).

Spoiler

Our MC becomes his bully and has to find a way to get close to him and lower his 'blackening' value and raise his favouraility.

A lot of stuff happens, including a hairbrained scheme that involves her trying to fight a group all by herself only to fail epicly, then use that failure to try get close to the ML because he's her 'saviour'.

She finds out about his abusive household and gets him out of there. And he, in time, finds out about her neglectful one.

Hell, even with all that, he still kills his family.

I won't spoil you too much but since she has to leave this world, she refuses to be with him, even while knowing how much he longs for her and marries the second ML just moments before she dies from her brain cancer.

We're then given a summary of all the stuff the ML did after her death and how he killed himself because she was the light of his life and that light was now extinguished.... that sh*t made me tear up😭

[collapse]

But of course since this is a QT, the classic and stomach churning elements are still present. Some examples would be

1) Spoiler

How, in the second arc, the f-ing ML is the same one as the first world. Idk why, I didn't really care for it since I thought it was wrapped up perfectly but I guess the author didn't want to write a novel where there are several romance partners and where the MC wasn't made for thr one unexplained world hopper Ml. Oh and did I mention he assaults the MC?

[collapse]

2) Spoiler

How the drugs/aphrodisiac/heart demon makes its scene to justify why the ML gets to assault the MC.

[collapse]

Honestly, this trope is in every Quick Transmigration taking place in a wuxia world. If you've read 5 QT novels, you've read them all (really hoped this one would be different).

Spoiler

Oh no no, he had no choice but to do so snce the MC knew that he would kill her for his dao so she did her best to get close to him ever since she was a literal child (5 yrs) but in doing so made the ML, practitioner of the ruthless dao, susceptible to the fox demon's lustful illusion where he sees fragments of his first life and then the scene of himself fcking her, you say?

[collapse]

And if you don't want to real all that: Spoiler

ML gets trapped in illusion, sees himself f*cking the MC (after feeling the loneliness of his previous life), realises he wants that in his life, assaults her in her 'sleep' where she watches what happens with the system.

[collapse]

3) Spoiler

Her fcking reaction to being assaulted? She f*cking likes it.

I found that to be so gross because there was no build up to this, no foreshadowing. Just,

'Oh, I like beautiful faces. A beautiful op man is coming to fondle/bite/play with my body and makes me say sh*t like how I'll never leave him or how he's the only one for me in my sleep with his powers, you say? Well as long as he's pretty.'

And I found that so revolting. She had so much characterisation and growth in the 1st arc that it's kinda sad seeing it get stomped and ruined on in the 2nd.

[collapse]

Spoiler

And did I mention he semi-raised her from when she was 5 yrs, talk about g*ooming (yes, even though she is mentally an adult, no one besides her knows and she is in a body of a child).

[collapse]

4) Spoiler

And did I mention the dude practises the ruthless dao? He literally killed his childhood friend because they got caught in a demon's trap and she got her body possessed and was about the kill them (ML and MC).

All that but he couldn't cripple his hands after the first night his 'heart demon' controlled him? This dude had a massive internal conflict about wanting to stop but not being able to. And even though he managed to get control back of his body for the day while the heart demon got it for the night, we're shown nothing on what he's doing (besides the assaults). Honestly, my first action would be to cripple my hands and jaw to at least slow it down a bit but nope, all we get are a bunch of whining with no, even if ineffective, measures. Just him internally screaming Please stop this... and if you wanna make a case that he did nothing because he liked that he could blame his action on the Heart Demon or how he went into retreat to cultivate so he didn't fully raise her or how since she liked it, it's not assault... that's not the argument you think it is.

[collapse]

Overall, 4.5 for the 1st arc and less than 0.00001 for the 2nd (I freaking hated that shit).
