Love to read M/M (and its various flavors, such as BL, danmei, etc.)

When I'm not itching for romance, I tend to gravitate towards science fiction/space operas.

reviewed The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System by 墨香铜臭

End of a journey

3 stars

This is actually the final volume of the main story. There's a 4th volume that contains some shorts pertaining to the main couple and side characters.

I felt that volume 1 was a slow start, volume 2 gains momentum, and volume 3 was somewhere in-between. In some ways, I felt like relationship between the main pair didn't quite convince me. There was so much action and misunderstandings that there really wasn't much time for some much needed development that makes for a convincing relationship.

Overall, it was a fun read but not as emotionally rewarding as I was hoping for.

Getting better

4 stars

I enjoyed the second entry much more than the first. We get a time skip several years after the events of the first novel.

Overall, the pacing and character development are much better implemented here. If you felt these two attributes were lacking in the first volume (like I did), then this sequel might be a more enjoyable experience.

It was entertaining, but set your expectations accordingly

This was a re-read. The first time I read this novel, I was a bit disappointed. I was looking for something more serious in tone, but instead got a novel that was very self-aware and trying to border on comedy.

However, I wanted to re-read the book now that I'm in the head space for it. This is a fairly standard transmigration story that doesn't take itself too seriously. The main character finds himself within the very web novel series he hates (loves?), where he is one of the villains that gets brutally murdered in the source material. So his goal is to rewrite the story by becoming an ally to the novel's protagonist.

There's a lot of setup in this first entry. The future love interest starts out as a boy, so this is definitely a slow burn. Overall, it was entertaining the second time around, but don't expect …
