My engagement with the heroine had been called off and I became the EXP mob character who fell to his own ruin. But for some reason, the female lead won’t let me go. Collapse Beautiful Female Lead, European Ambience, Love Interest Falls in Love First, Male Protagonist, Mob Protagonist, Multiple POV, Nobles, Transmigration A good and relaxing slow story. Very suitable to read in between oh-so-popular action and cultivation stories. Very well-written, so personally, I highly recommend trying it out) Ok, I actually read it some time ago and details of the story are muddled in my head, but I just saw it again and had little rant about it in my head. I stopped somewhere around 40ish chapters too, so be advised from continuing and standart !spoiler! alert.Promising start with interesting idea, if somewhat basic: ML transmigrated into minor villain of otome game and tries escape the character's fate by eliminating his link to the game's FL - engagement. Only, FL hell bent on the opposite to ML's confussion. No wonder, as the heroine turns out to be switched too - to her time traveled future self. And FL went back not once, but twice! Her first, original timeline followed the plot of the game, her second life after time travel saw appearance of ML in villain's body. The start of they relationship was unfortunate and violent, which prompted dissolusion of the engagement as per ML wishes, but after learning about this new person and developing friendship and then feelings, FL time travels again, now with the goal to make this engagement happen, with ML non the wiser about it. All of this happens in first few chapters, setting interesting conflict of interests with two characters with significant difference in knowledge and expectation, with promise of fun comedic situations between weird couple. Good!Aaaand then ML caves in few chapters in and just decides to go with the engagement... Ok? That was first conflict setup that author just threw away. Now ML doesn't want to escape the engagement and all shenanigans revolving around FL and just goes along with it. Fantastic. To be fair, he still thinks that fate (plot) will force them apart even if ne doesn't plays his villain role, but he also not active oposser to the events anymore and that majorly changes dynamics between main characters. Oh, by the way, comedy? Yeah, how about twenty chapters of diabities inducing sweetnes with background characters gushing about two lovebirds. Great.But fine, they cute and the author throws few mildly interesting flashbacks that gives us more info about characters plus some action. Don't know what to feel about wanting more chapters about what happened then than what's happening now, but oh well.Aside that the author setup the story inside an otome game which promises additional conflicts with original cast of male characters composing FL's 'harem'. And we get first glimps of it short (huh) 30 or so shapters in with introduction of first OG ML. Would ML cave in and rethink his involement with FL after incountering someone who might potentially be FL's fate (plot) choosen partner? Is he going to fight for new path and decide to screw the plot and stick with his decision despite possible problems with other male leads? Or will first OG ML mop and be sad, only to be befriended by ML and just decide to move on with no future conflict in sight?Yeah, it's the last one. Promps to first OG ML, that seems healthy, but I don't need healthy. I need a conflict that doesn't get kicked to the curb like trash that you too lazy to even carry to the trashbin!First two setups fot possible clashes that were established at the very beggining: conflict of interests between ML and FL and conflict between wayward ML and plot choosen OG MLs whimpered and died like my carier prospects, relativelly fast and quiet painfull. And I want to be fair to the author, I only read first 40 or so chapters, and there were much more OG MLs to come and as such potential for future drama plus some other disasters peeped from flasbacks. But I also read whole 40 or so chapters and got none or too much of what I expected from characters interactions; not whole lot of comedy, barelly any conflict and too much sugar as if I didn't have enough cavities.By what point should you wait untill you drop something? I read somewhere that you need to read 50 pages before deciding it's not for you, metric that hard to judge with format of this site, but I would say I read just enough to be bored and being bored is not for me. Give it a take, maybe it's becomes good after chapter 41, but even if that's the case I still would judge it as bad pacing and writing. Take this whole thing with spoone of salt and sorry for any grammar and such mistakes. Thank you.PS. Posted it on different story first, what an embarrassment 2 more chapters here Spoiler https://www.readingpia.me/series/i-became-the-villain-of-a-romance-fantasy Might be better to get chapters there, if possible#Panic# 4 more chapters already Any idea of where we can read more chs since it hasnt updated here for 2 months but it has 150+ ch? You can find it on NobleMTL. Prepare your mind tho, it's gonna be kinda hard. mtl's are always a trip for better or worse Yeah after I spent some time on that site reading MTLs, I could really feel my intelligence deteriorate 😂 mtl's are known to be pro corruption that's why moderation is key The concept is really good. Sadly ml seems to stupid and easily manipulate by outers so far. And I really hate such types of stories. If you don't it is probably a good read though. Rank B,(For those who want something cute and relaxing).Rank C-,(for people who want "hot" works) are there A or S rated stuff to read?? lotm(rank S-), RI(rank SS), fire mage(rank A++), the devil's way(rank A-), mystic journey(rank A-), nightmare's call(rank B), tree aeons(rank B+), thanks bro....i will definitely try What's RI Reverend insanity There are loads of fire mage out there...are u refering to the one where the mc is called John browning ? there is only one fire mage in ranobes Idk I'd put RI at SSS+ *though that's just my opinion* I agree, RI is probably my favorite novel (excluding Symphony from the evolution that I've been following for about 8 years) How would you rank Mother of Learning? This is an A++ level work! ya do recommend a and a+ or s tiers lotm(rank S-), RI(rank SS), fire mage(rank A++), the devil's way(rank A-), mystic journey(rank A-), nightmare's call(rank B), tree aeons(rank B+), LOTM is high SS normally but the translation gets bad around 700 lotm doesn't rank SS because the author was forced to shorten the novel, so it got really rushed and it looked like the TL gave a loss in quality The novel doesn’t feel like it has a rushed ending because it represents the hecticness of the final battle giveing Klein no time to reflect and calm down because of Amon No, the novel was really rushed, according to the author himself it would still go up to 2000 or 1800 chps A novel is only rushed if it feels rushed the novel was rushed because of the CCP Apa LOTM? Lord of the Mysteries Could you please suggest some good non-cultivation novels Three aeons, fire mage, wizard revolts can you recommend me something with a good romance? Genesis Translations... This is going to be f#cking slow Ret*rd mc. He try to drive heroine away yet he treat them in a good way. After that, he wonder why they like him. Hr can't even confront and be straightforward Just because you want don't want to get tangled with someone doesn't mean you should act rude towards them. I never mention anything about being rude at all. There's many way for him to reject her without being nice1.Be Direct. Don't beat around the bush2. Make everything Simple. Don't drag the conversation 3. Apologies if she's hurt but never comfort her.But the mc is too p*ssy to even do the first step destroying 2 noble houses relationship over marriage?? Man are u insane ??There are words like "etiquette" , "responsible" and "mature"....also MC is too kind but he is definitely not a retard. That's putting the cart before the horse lol... The reason why he even don't want to get involved with the heroine because of troublesome matters that center around her. If he earn her ire or should show that publicly, they have a bad relationship, he would be hunted down by her suitors (male leads) just to earn cookie points from her. Though he is already doomed from the start considering the situation of the heroine #panic# this novel is not on haitus. Its just that the release speed is slow and irregular. 150+ ch on noblemtl.com Ahh I wish there were more chapters, or a normal release date. I don’t like that hiatus status at all 150+ ch on noblemtl.com Is the mtl hiatus? I don't think They just tled it 1 week ago Then I guess it’s a mistake, that’s good because this kinda reminds me of ending maker and I really liked that. Is the mtl readable Yes
