So far i don't have any complaints. I am at 112 now aka latest chapter unlockable by fast pass. The Mc is not like wuxia protagonist. He understands how the world works and tries to use it to his advantage and takes advantage of the plot of the original story. I recommend this to you if you want a story where the VILLAIN (our protagonist) face slaps THE PROTAGONIST (aka the original protagonist). Overall the writing quality is good(which is surprising in webnovel). I hope the author REAPER will keep working hard on this novel and we will support unquestionably for that.

CRITICAL REVIEW I'm critical, but I'm lenient enough to give 5s if it is entertaining or written well. You deserve it! Although its going to be a 4.8! Read 113 chaps (which is basically current as of this review). To be honest, I don't reach much anti-hero stories of ruthless MCs on the level of like revered insanity so it was a refreshing read. Well actually this story is as the title says "Life of a Villain". For this MC, he's definitely a villian than a anti-hero. Writing quality - pretty much almost no errors really. If there's a unneeded complaint that would be for it have more descriptive in writing. It's already done enough to convey its point and most importantly its a web novel. This ain't no published book you find from a bookstore. Story development- Good pacing but a little on the slow side. The later the chapters, the faster it goes. It has clichés' sure, but its definitely an above average cultivation novel. I would definitely recommend it. Its interesting to see an the MC ruthlessly cut all paths and makes sure that his enemy, the novel's protagonist, absolutely can't ever stand against him. Character wise, the story does only try to flesh out the real major characters. Key word is try. On the other hand, because of the pacing and chaos, it does feel that side characters are left out. I don't think that's a bad thing. For this author's story this is sufficient and particularly due to one major circumstance: the MC has his cheat, but also has many resources from the getgo which other cultivation stories force the MC to slowly get. As for my favourite character, probably only the Sect Master of Eternal Palace. Much like other characters in his position, we only really see events that force him to come for plot convenience. However, its refreshing and somewhat unique seeing a smart sect master making the wise choice to side with the mc. Even though he doesn't have much feelings for him and is basically forced to. The dynamic of the MC and the protagonist is something that I will continue to enjoy in the series. As for other characters, surprisingly meh. I will reiterate: most of the characters in the novel only feel that they are there to serve their purpose. I won't deny the story plot is interesting, and they fulfil their role well, but as a consequence that's what they end up feeling like and its been 100 chaps. It might be an inevitable consequence, World Background. It's a huge world. Lots of connections between places influencing the three realms already in 100 chaps. Downside? Due to the story's nature, the actual individual places and stuff in the world is not fleshed out. I still will give it a 5 tho after all, it's good enough for what this story is trying to tell. Love the story though! And will continue to read it~~ Hoping to find a heroine to ship as I usually do in harem stories.
