The Main Villain Is Stuck To Me Like Chewing Gum Chapter 96 Discussion

This novel started off with a good introduction and an interesting plot. The MC transmigrated as a scum with an S class power which was quite amusing.

However, as the story progresses, you can't help but notice quite a few inconsistencies and flaws which takes away from the story.

For instance, the way the MC's power works was not clearly defined and you are often left in confusion; Heavenly Command, for example, is a skill utilizing his voice to make a target execute a command. It is HEAVILY implied that its restriction is that the MC must have 1 of his hand unoccupied (I forgot which side). There are scenes however, where we witness how the MC uses this skill without even using his hand. Take for example when he commanded the people stalking the ML from a HIDDEN place. Yes, he has detection skills but the main point here was that the people were spread out and he didn't even raise his hand when using the Heaven command and he still commanded the group in cluster.

These flaws however, isn't what irks me the most. What I truly find unacceptable here was how INCONSISTENT the characters were.

The MC was introduced and built up as someone who doesn't want trouble yet also doesn't back down when faced by it—which was very commendable. However, as the story progresses, you can't help but spit blood by just how much of a bystander he is—to the point where he doesn't even retaliate when he discoveres that he was taken advantage of!

Firstly, his apartment, his literal comfort, got DEMOLISHED and he retaliated by working for the perpetrator's guild to "infiltrate it".

Ending? Under the guise of infiltration, he collaborated with the perpetrator to ANNOY the ML. Mind you, this same perpetrator is literally a person who mu*ders his own parents and curses his own sibling. Why would he do such unnecessary procedure to hire the MC just to childishly annoy a person? If we follow the person's train of thought, wouldn't it make more sense for him to hire the MC to kill the ML instead?

Secondly, when the MC was arrested for kidnapping a child, a guild claimed that it was because of their mercy that the MC can get away easily. Thus, the MC was force to work under this guild and from then on suffered humiliation and became a literal unpaid (he still has dept to pay), laborer. Later, it was revealed that the child actually testified for the MC so what the guild said was false.

Did the MC sue them or ask for compensation? No, he actually still had a DEBT to pay since a relic from the GUILD bind itself on him because a person that WORKS for the guild that LEGALLY DECEIVED him was careless enough to drop it. Of course the MC doesn't try to settle it in court because the author probably forgot that we are in a society ruled by law—it was never even mentioned. The debt was paid by the ML so a plot where the ML ask for an exchange can happen.

Lastly, don't let the latter sentence fool you. The ML is a pushover, he isn't that strong.

He was literally cursed by his brother and had his life as well as his nephew's endangered by the same man. Having been aware of this, did he try to fight back? No. He didn't even plot something or plan to usurp his brother—he simply let those things happen AGAIN and AGAIN. His hope—the MC and his suppression on the curse—he blocked himself. He literally had the MC arrested just because a friend who had a history of framing the MC WHICH THE ML KNEW ABOUT because it literally happend in front of him, had showed a person yet again framing the MC under the guise of truth serum which the friend himself admitted he was unsure of the effect of. Did he believe it? Yes he did, it was only later on that he had a realization. It didn't really matter since that MC was already arrested and exploited. Anyways, the MC did not have a single grievance on him which leaves you infuriated.

All in all, this story left me spitting blood with just how incompetent these S class characters are. Honestly, this was the first review I have written and it was all fueled with regret of reading this novel—to the point of wasting an hour writting this comment.

I'm halfway on the story and there are no signs of improvement, it only worsened (the plot of the MC being arrested is on this part). This is my first time reaching up to this point hoping for a novel to have a redemption but unfortunately I will not be reading any further just for this hope.
