——————
Ansel of Hydral, the Empire's most notorious villain, devours a peculiar being known as a "Traveller".
In doing so, he glimpses a future of despair, a foreordained future featuring a war-god who can shatter armies, a saint bearing great sins, a mage discerning the truth, and a heroine of unassailable morality... These formidable "she" would destroy his family, his empire, everything he holds dear.
Upon truly recognizing the cruelty and weight of fate, Ansel has an epiphany.
"If the Empire requires reform, then there is no need for a so-called protagonist. Armed with this knowledge, I can effect change far more efficiently."
"And as for you, the world's chosen ones..."
"If destiny dictates that you cannot be obliterated, then I have no option but to make you fall... fall with me to the very end of the abyss."
In essence, this is a tale of a villain rebelling against fate, taming the chosen daughters of heaven, all while orchestrating a transformative revolution in the world.

I normally don't review until the novel is completed, but the 1st volume of this novel was so good that it deserves his own review . all were perfectly executed. The minor flaws on world building are excusable since it is the first volume where you can't put all the details and explain everything. Aside from that, you have a good main character that interacts with the world and other characters with his own sense of self and values, and you have an extremely good novel.I only hope that at the end of the novel, i can come here and write that all this goodness kept until the end.
It's a Rollercoaster some very high ups and some very low downs. Tragedy is a hard thing to pull off because no one wants to be sad but when done right it's bone chilling. Trauma as well is another uncomfortable thing to write about however it creates such strong emotions.The author of this book has a very good understanding of both of these things as well as some strong setup work you really aren't ready for. If you can't get through how tough it is at some parts just remember it is always darkest before dawn. Going into it if your new get your tissues ready because your about to tackle a beast. Just remember these key things. Ansel of Hydral isn't a good person in fact he is a bas***d but one you'll empathize with once you learn how deep rooted some emotions can run. He'll never tell a lie to the main heroine Seraphina. In a world built on lies and malice, his words to her have never been a lie. That being said if she only asked the right questions... If by chance you're still on the fence about trying it then... what I did was I listened to it while at work or working out for the free chapters, you'd really lose nothing while waiting for other books your reading get updated. That's how it started for me and even when I was about to stop I thought to my self yeah its uncomfortable and yeah it hurts to listen to some things... But what are strong wills with out this development, the true enemy of this story isn't something that can willfully be beaten, it's truly a terrifying concept that can't be beaten like a lot of other stories set up. this is a fight that goes far deeper then oneself. Only the truly mad can come out on the otherside of accepting the reality given to you... For a brighter tomorrow.and one last note from me, it's definitely not an isekai. I'm beyond tired of this trope and I miss a fantasy worlda with fantasy settings. now alot its just gamerish with a system. While Ansel of Hydral gets spotted memories from another world they aren't complete and he doesn't let those memories do more then act as a script that MUST NOT be followed under any circumstances. I really just missed story telling like this.
Probably the best novel I've read recently. I won't lie, came here to scratch the junk-food novel urge after seeing the title, but found amazing characters and an intriguing story. Grammar is good and characters actually develop. Highly recommend reading this novel. Keep it up author.
As the story is just beginning there's not much to say. A hidden gem would be the correct way of wording it as it is a novel of excellent quality (For now) but I'm sure that the author knows what he's doing so that's it😅.Hoping the author continues this way and keeps it up
Tragedy .Mc dumb ...........................................................................................................................................
It's a well-written novel with a decent main character and world-building is okay as well. Just that Seraphina is one of the most irritating characters ever. Mc ignores her abuses etc, and forgives her betrayal.. And generally act like a doormat in front of her. From the author's synopsis and comment in reviews, I thought his mc would be different and a nice villain and he is to some extent but that all fade away in front of the retard fmc Seraphina, she's dumb, and has a typical violent tsundere character but without love only abuse. It's a good read but I can't stand such characters and mc's who became door-mats for them
The power system (i mean like mage stages etc) is not clear and i hate these when there is "overpowered" tag. Along the story, I dont even know how overpowered the MC is...
I have to say this is one of the few novels that I've liked the most so far, with the world revolving around our protagonist who is a villain, his manipulaton techniques used to tame the heroines and finally the writing style that shift from time to time, in two words it's a “Unrefined Gem” I hope this novel is completed.
the writing is pretty good but the story is a drag there progress then it resets progress the resets again. the main female lead is insanely annoying couldn't keep reading
A hidden gem. I'm so glad I found this story. I'll keep reading so long as you keep writing The characters are well-written and I love how they interact with each other. Can't wait to see new characters added to the mix.As for world-building, it's still early in the story so we will see how it goes.Looking forward to reading more!
Before I write anything else, I want to just say that this novel is really good. The way the author expresses the character's feelings, the development of the relationships, and the way things turn out are really well done and keeps the reader immersed in the story. In my opinion, the world building is lacking a little bit, but it still is better than some other stories I read.Overall I recommend this novel to anyone who might come across this review.
Here I come after reading 25 chaps as promised... Truthfully I have a mix emotion about this novel...on the other hand I like the the MC characteristic and the idea behind the story...the only reason I didnt give full 5 stars review because the heroine which is now the bodyguard of the MC keeps irritating me and crossed the line many times, I understand that he is trying to tame her but it's taking so many chaps to do so...ofcourse its getting better thats the reason I am giving high review.... This is totally my personal opinion and other people might think otherwise... Nevertheless for me this Novel is good and I recommend people to read it....
This is a great villain story. Not only is the mc great and calculating, but also the manipulation of the main heroine from both the mc and her current situation is perfectly written
A piece of art presented by the author "POWER",it's of the story which the more it progresses, the more hooked you will be and it gets "MAD ADDICTIVE" for a person with *maybe* AdHd as myself. The character development, Sera has over 100 of chapters ( I have read it till 100) is fascinating and absolutely fabulous. U may think I am over exaggerating it but when u will read it,only then u will find out what i am talking about. And about the world background , although the author hasn't gone very deep into it, he/she have already laid down the frameworks of the world building and I can see that it will explored with much depth in the following chapters. Another reason to read it , is the writing style and character design of the author , honestly it is what sets this story apart from other stories. Now Go and read it
Great book one of the book that inspired me to be an author Please guy check out my first novel THE PRIMORDIAL BLOODLINE 02 And I sincerely hope it worth your time
When it comes to the Villain genre, what comes to mind for everyone? Taking down the so-called protagonist? NTR? The villainous character who only appears in the background? That's right, they're popular (and I love reading them xD) in mainstream storytelling, but I can't help but feel that they only satisfy certain base desires. After finishing such stories, all that remains is an indelible sense of emptiness. The so-called rebellion against fate in some books is just a gimmick, a flimsy initial motivation that the anxious transmigrator forgets after a few chapters, overshadowed by the looming sword of Damocles. The story then devolves into a traditional isekai narrative and is eventually forgotten by readers. (no offence!) These stories feel unreal, and they are boring because we all know that fate is not something easily defied. All my bravado about controlling my own destiny changes nothing. Defying fate requires day-to-day dedication, intense contemplation, and unwavering determination — just like what the protagonist, Ansel, does in this book (shameless me~). Defying fate is a form of romanticism, but what is even more romantic than defying fate alone is when "I" invite "you" to defy fate together, as Ansel hopes for with Seraphina. Undeniably, speaking objectively, Ansel is not a good person. He tramples upon the dignity of others (poor Seri), resorts to any means necessary, disregards life, all for the sake of achieving his goals. However, his occasional vulnerability and struggles in front of Seriphina add a touch of humanity to him, while the burden of his destiny and the actions he undertakes give him the colors of a tragic hero. I believe that such a villainous character should be charismatic! While creating this character, I unconsciously empathize with him, attempting to show the implied justifications behind his villainous acts (which aren't really that bad since he only persecutes villains and Seri LOL). It's like Sephiroth(from Final Fantasy). After deciding on this permeating sense of loneliness, I added a romantic element to the story. If you put yourself in Ansel's shoes, you would long for a companion to share secrets with, someone like the character played by Seraphina (yes me shameless again~). Regarding the portrayal of Seraphina, how should I put it? In this type of story, I think she should be a rare character who maintains her dignity and significance as a protagonist xDDD. The first part of the story revolves around her growth. The hardships and misfortunes she experiences are directed by Ansel, but they are also the malice of fate. Everything Ansel does is to inform her of the truth and make her his ally in the fight against fate. Their relationship elevates the essence of the story, and in turn, the essence of the story etches their bond. A confession more profound than "I love you" is inviting you to join me in defying the destiny of this world. What's more romantic than one person defying fate is the two of us defying fate together.
