How to Survive As a Villain穿成囚禁男主的反派要如何活命

A very heartwarming story, well worth reading. Love that endures war, separation and even death and reunion is very beautifully described through several characters.

I finished reading this book in 3 days and it’s absolutely fantastic (10/10), but there’s some things to know before diving in:
1. Yaoi. The main couple is gay and several side couples are gay/lesbian. If you don’t like that stuff, don’t read this novel.
2. Angst. I cried 4 times reading this novel. There is just so much drama and history between the characters. Literally every character has a tragic background. I was on the edge of my seat reading every chapter because the gossip was so intense.
3. Misunderstandings. There are so many misunderstandings between the mc and the ml that you’ll want to bash your head against the wall until they sort it out. The misunderstandings add to the angst of the novel.
4. Death. Expect death in this novel. This novel does a really good job of portraying how war really is and its mental, economic, and physical effects on people. Many of the characters have trauma from the war in this book.
5. Torture. Some characters are tortured in this book and it gets pretty gruesome, but it doesn’t last that long nor occur often.
6. Cheesy Romance. The dynamic between the mc and ml is hands down one of the best I’ve read. The mc is just so funny sometimes and his thoughts in the novel are so wild while the ml is so deeply in love with the mc that he doesn’t care if the mc says random things or monologues about the “Tyrannical president” (you’ll understand this reference when you read the novel).
7. The Translator. I love the translator. Every chapter, they give a footnote at the end to explain some references in the novel that readers may not know. Later on in the novel, they even comment on the chapter itself and add a little theater segment (idk how to explain it but it’s wonderful). It’s interesting to see how the translator felt editing the novel and knowing that we both cried.
8. Smut. There are about 3 chapters in the main storyline that are about smut.
Like I said before, the novel gets a 10/10. The drama and romance is just too good. The author does a great job building each character’s personality and motives. Very little grammatical mistakes. Definitely a novel worth reading

At first I wanted to say do not read it.
But I could not write it.
However, a large part of the beginning of the story (up to Chapter 184) has many sad scenes.
but this story has still worth reading .
😁

Interesting premise, funny and well pretty standard yaoi relationship for the setting.
