How to Survive as the Academy’s Villain Chapter 59 Discussion

The novel is not bad, pretty decent.

The problem is that the MC's actions are so naive and relatable, if we were in his situation, that it is a real turn off and frustrating.

Lets be real, a lot of us would think of the easy way out and deny reality if we were in his situations, while others would smarten up and adapt quickly to the situation. The annoying thing is that the MC is slow to accept his situation that everyone hates his guts and will do everything to make his life miserable if given the chance, due to all the thing the original body owner has done.

It isn't until the MC finally snaps and starts rebelling for things not going the way he hope, that the novel gets a lot better.

That doesn't start until Spoiler

near the end of the dungeon test arc

[collapse], at chapter 23/24 is when he finally snaps and starts to get decent.

The novel doesn't get good until chapter 36, start of his rebellion against others. Spoiler

This is when he snap again during the excavation arc.

Whether you can stomach through the early part of the novel really determines your rating of the novel. To me it is currently a 3.5, but I score it as a 3 due to how frustrating the beginning of the novel can be, but otherwise a 4.
