Author here giving myself 1 star so you don't have to. Don't read this book. I don't want any new readers or whatever anymore. I just want to write in peace for myself and the very few that have reached 100+ chapters so far without problems or complaints. So here I am begging you not to read, go find something else worth your time.

A solid if slow read. Sometimes things overstayed their welcome a little, but both the world building and character building were stellar. I am intrigued to see where the story goes next.

Contrary to what the author has repeated over and over, this book is decent. It was an interesting read, but I hate the ending. In most “revenge” stories, the MC doesn’t actually end up actually taking revenge. Instead, they learn some bs moral lesson and forgive the object of their hatred or end up half-assing the revenge. This novel’s MC didn’t give up on his goal and he wasn’t “fixed” by some other character either. We, the readers, get to experience the complexities of having such a passionate hate-filled relationship with the one who betrayed you and led to so much of your suffering. The author does a good job of showing Ronan’s conflicting feelings regarding Cermin, the betrayer who, at one point, was the only light in his life. Unfortunately, in the end it’s revealed that Ou had actually sacrificed himself, meaning that everything that Ronan had worked so hard for was worthless. It makes his revenge completely unjustified. I can guess why the author chose to go this route: it allows for the story to be continued in a second volume and for revenge to be condemned as something inherently bad. The betrayal and discrimination that Ronan experienced is something that many people are able to genuinely relate to. This novel’s ending just feels like it invalidates the(perfectly justified) resentment and want for vengeance that victims feel. I honestly wish i hadn’t read the last couple chapters so that I could’ve remained in blissful ignorance and not have had to face such disappointment for a novel I thought so highly of. I would’ve been completely satisfied with the novel ending with the dog-eat-dog world that Ronan created. Thank you author for writing this novel, I don’t regret reading it(except the epilogue-esque chapters in the end).

Started out really cool and had a good premise, but the story is ruined by the Authors's inability to take his own social points and views out and just tell a good story. The world he's created is one where the societal elements feel forced and overbearing, overshadowing any potential for a captivating narrative. It's as if the author's main goal was to push his personal beliefs onto the reader, rather than allowing them to form their own opinions and interpretations. Furthermore, the characters lack depth and seem like mere vessels for the author's ideologies rather than fully fleshed-out individuals with their own motivations and struggles. They often come across as one-dimensional and predictable, making it difficult to truly connect with their journeys. As the story progresses, it becomes increasingly evident that the plot takes a backseat to the author's relentless desire to convey their social points and views. This single-minded approach detracts from the overall experience, leaving the reader feeling like they've been bombarded with a heavy-handed agenda rather than being taken on an immersive and engaging adventure. What could have been an intriguing and thought-provoking tale ultimately falls flat due to the author's inability to strike a balance between storytelling and preaching. A good story should be able to stand on its own merits without being burdened by an excessive push for particular social viewpoints. In conclusion, while the premise of the book showed promise, the author's inability to separate their personal agenda from the storytelling process ultimately led to a disappointing read. It's essential for writers to respect their audience and allow them the space to explore and form their own opinions. Unfortunately, in this case, the author's self-indulgence hindered the potential success of what could have been a compelling and enjoyable book.

The world itself is very interesting with all those systems and social structures along with the idea that darkness itself is light and blah blah. Min Cheng’s story is actually really good with Ronin finally understanding Min Cheng's side of the story with his older brother. This book has kept me thrilled for the entirety I read it with all of Ronin’s plots to get rid of Min Cheng’s harem and group. I enjoyed the whole story from revenge in the beginning to a sense of calmness in the end.

I will drop this for 3 reasons 1. the author is gay and his previousl works are all Gay story that a big red flage and you will know why , 2. senen he is a gay that explains the system unexplained behavior through the mc having a harm or chesing woman it doesn’t make sense to heat him at all the aurthor is gay so no woman or girl allowed here that why he heat him maybe he will add a gay relationship i will not be surprise if this is happened i don’t mind having no normal non gay romance in novel but it just feel force dut to the author background and that of course effect the system behavior, 3.The worst for last, the world building is stupid for one reason The video game tag its horrible if it’s just game then it just doesn’t matter what MC dose with his harm or system the ranking also doesn’t matt er in the ends is just VR game so why not just normal world with one hero ? Or just not video game ? that story is not for me...

Read the whole thing, this novel is very good, probably my second favorite behind shadow slave. The end was such a cliffhanger, definitely a 8/10 novel

I really liked this book. The MC is an awful person but that doesn’t mean the book itself is awful. The world building is very unique and well developed. Even if the characters don’t make the choices I would, I can understand their trains of thought and never did I feel like any of the main characters suddenly got stupid or acted out of character. Just know this story follows one life not multiple like in other system/transmigration stories.

Readers who see the word "villain" and look through the synopsis might have the mistaken impression that this is one of those novels with an evil, bloodthirsty protagonist whose story will revolve constant murder...and that's not entirely wrong, but also not quite right, either. The protagonist is definitely a villain, but he's shades of gray, rather than pitch black. I would recommend going into this novel not expecting to see a Leylin or something. For me, this was actually a very pleasant surprise. I found the story to be well-written, well-paced, and intriguing. My favorite part is the relationship between the golden hero and our MC Ronin. It's very complicated and enmeshed. I find it fascinating and fun to read. The book ended on a hopeful note, and I'm very much looking forward to the author's sequel.

I never understood why people hate on this story so much. In fact, I love this story BECAUSE the character actually matches the title. You like Min more? Great, that’s kind of the point! The main character of this story is a VILLAIN!!! (Also, I still like Ronin more)

Pretty much the same as every other novel. The whole thing about him being a system doesn't end up mattering as the author makes him a overly prideful retard with no talent. He's just as worthless as the protagonists he claims to hate. Thanks for the giant bait and switch, author! Spend your time elsewhere.

In the beginning, author describes the novel as a slow burn, and also encourages us to not read it?? Uhh, I'm here to say that it is absolutely amazing and the pace was well done, slow enough to not overwhelm you with information but not boring. The story may start with some common tropes but it is taken to a completely new level. The plot always manages to surprise me and I love the character complexity, there's both good and bad in them. I went from hating to loving to hating again and then to being truly confused. And there isnt just one character like this. Also one thing I truly admire is the take on subjects that are still present in our modern world, such as man-woman inequality. Seeing things like this makes the readers able to relate more, in my opinion. Overall, a great novel. I read all the free chapters in less than a day, and I consider myself a picky reader.

I suffered through 78 chapters. It may sound like a joke but.... Nothing much happened. I feel like the story could have been told in less than 10 chapters. The whole story feels like a K-Drama or a traditional book. Systems may play a role but honestly they feel out of place. During 78 chapters the system does absolutely nothing but talk a bit to the MC and feed us even more useless background information. The setting, world and the characters are very bland and boring. The writing is really quite good though and it is kinda interesting to read about the secrets. Anyway I may continue to read this but I can just tell anyone that his is EXTREMELY slow paced. So if you like most Novels on this website and dislike traditional books you will probably dislike this story.

it would be nice if the author explained the mc a little better. just because he was treated like a machine he is okay with his brother being murdered saying he is just a npc. I like the story but the mc feels like the worlds biggest hypocrite however like i said i still think the story is pretty good

what I like the most is eloquent way in which authors wrote this story. Some times I get bored because of lack of action but the way its written, the metaphors and mystery element just keeps wanting to continue reading. Sometimes people may find some annoying points about mc and side characters but that just how it is (no story perfect ) Overall it's worth adding to your library if you can get past first 50 chapters

I really love this novel, though I haven’t finished it completely and don’t know why some people says it gets bad after (chapter something ) I really like this novel as it has some unique features and some tropes I don’t see often, it’ not overly cliche and is intresting as it keeps you want to read more, I’v only read it until chapter 100 something and have to use fast pass, but other waist it’s a really good and interestinge novel.

The novel had the potential to be a great story but after the first couple, it turned into 1 of those dumb typical system novels. If you would've read I HATE SYSTEM you are going to understand what I'm saying. I gave this novel about 40 chapters and the Mc gives no sort of intellect of someone who's been a system for years also if u were a system why would you need another system? He has the most basic goal, been a system for so long only to go into a world just to kill the protagonist why cuz he didn't like how he was treated and cuz the dude was dumb. This isn't the worse system novel but it's light-years away from being something interesting and smart. Turn your brain and expectation and this will fill up your mind for whatever period until you find something of substance.

Ok so the quality of the story starts off a bit off but increases as times go on. The background to everything is really well written. The development is amazing as we see the Amin character manipulating everything to get what he wants. However if you like really quick stories with the protagonist achieving their goals quickly this is not it.
