I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

I was just reading a novel and accidentally got hit by my phone and I transmigrated and became an antagonist.Right now, every day, my thoughts are occupied with how to avoid the male lead and how to make the female protagonists fall for me.I think and plan my actions carefully, and I make every move according to plan. However, the development seems to have gotten off track. The most obvious changes are the female protagonists, who became different than how they were in the novel. They-Crap, I gotta run, talk to you later. Collapse Ancient Times, Arranged Marriage, Beautiful Female Lead, Genius Protagonist, Harem-seeking Protagonist, Maids, Male Protagonist, Misunderstandings, Multiple Realms, Overpowered Protagonist, Strong to Stronger, System Administrator, Transmigration For anyone interested in my attempt at a MTL edit.Here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IJWTL_BISBBTTMC/comments/15fgzuv/i_just_wanted_to_live_but_i_somehow_became_better/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Will you pls do for volume 2 too? It is pretty okay till chapter 100, still there are a lot of situations where you get irritated by the entire plot. For example the mc can show whatever powers and no one questions anything. He is only 18 years old, however he knows multiple attack techniques, he is experienced in the dao of tea, music, painting, sword, cooking... No one questions how the f#ck is this possible? It takes a lifetime for someone to learn only one of these things (okay.. for geniouses, at least 3-5 years). Then we have that f#cking servant that he has. At the start it was supposed to be a powerful helper, however we see that it is only a burden, the mc protects her so much that she almost never trains or engages in combat. She is like that f#cking annoying blond bitch nun childhood friend from High School DxD. Irritating as f#ck... Now apart from this, I quite enjoyed the novel. Unfortunately, I can see that the more we go into the later chapters the more the author is redusing the iq of the characters and making them move with f#cking emotion. (Sorry for the swearing). Dropped at chapter 104, link to mtl Spoilerhttps://www.novel543.com/0401206091/dir An okay read if you just want to turn your brain off for an hour or two.C+ Currently at chapter 24 and all I can say is the MC is stupid and a coward. He’s so scared of the original MC that he overreacts like he’s going to die in the next second when he heard some minor young master from his family intersected with the original MC and might have offended him. And when he learned the young master didn’t offend the original MC, he still had cold sweat on his face. As for why he’s stupid? Well he can clearly and easily prevent a heroine to meet with the MC, he thinks it’s impossible to prevent them to meet. The funny thing is? He did prevent them to meet and didn’t realise until the system rewarded him. He also only realised why they didn’t meet after the heroine told him the reason, which he could have easily thought of. Not to mention his system gives him way more points when heroines get a better impression of him, but he wants to never see the heroine again due to being scared of the original MC. In fact he even cancels their engagement due to that reason. Not to mention the way he thinks is like a….a uhm, I guess the word ‘beta’ fits? One example is he helps and gives the heroine a cultivation treasure while partly to gain a more favourable impression, but also so that if she and the original MC end up together, she will probably plead with him to spare his life. Like what? The story is interesting but the MC ruins it, it’s always such a shame when I find a story I like but then the author shuts his brain down when he writes the MC. Anyone who knows where I can read more chapters even mtl it's pretty good, although keep in mind that the MC isn't villainious at all despite being thrusted into a villainious role. The story is disgusting, the main character is a dumb heel, his actions are just dumb. Like when he tried to damage his cultivation to apologize to some dumb bride 👎😮‍💨 He wanted to cripple his cultivation to start from the beginning anyway, why not do it at a time that can increase favorability and give him points he needs to spend in the system shop. what if "tell me you didnt read properly without telling me" is a person: Shit, this was funny even if I haven't read it Could’ve sworn there were at least 5 novels with the same plot, but knowing me I’ll probably still check this out later What are the others? I am a Gao Fushuai Villain, The Protagonist Came to Villain’s Door To Entrust His Mother, I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain, I Started As A Novel Villain, I, The Villain, Will Start With Grabbing The Protagonist’s Peerless Beauties!… tbh these are just some random ones I found on the spot that have similar plot, I haven’t read all of them though but they all have something in common— the mc transmigrates as a villain and steals the protagonist’s opportunities and women. There are probably more similar novels if you look for it Are the protagonists evil, in any of the novels that you read? For example the mc for I Started As A Novel Villain was with the brain of a NPC. There was no point of reading it after 10 chapters (in my view). I do not need evil mc, just smart-cunning who does not value the people life's as much as his goals. (I read my comment, and I sound like an unfeeling psycho, I swear I am not) Do you mind if the mc is usually only evil to some people like a protagonist and nice to his women, or just evil to everyone without filter. Most of my recommendations just have the mc reincarnate as a ‘villain’ and go against the ‘protagonist’ but sometimes the ‘protagonist’ seems more evil than the mc soo It is so easy communicating with a fellow daoist . I do not mind both categories as long as they are cunning. I do not like when the author dumbs down everyone so they can have a 'smart' mc. Unfortunately I know what you mean on the second part of your comment... I've read most of those... Some examples of what I am looking for are Demon Sect Cultivation: I Can Disable Debuffs, Can a Scholar Be Called a Villain, A Degenerate's Tale. On all of these, the mcs are either smart and cunning or smart evil. Hmm then maybe I would recommend villain: play of destiny. But the mc kinda collects good looking women, but he differentiates them, so if u don’t like a big harem then that would be a no-no. I’m not sure if it completely fits your requirements but you can see the reviews of that novel and see if you want to try it. Also there’s I Am the Fated Villain but maybe you’ve already read that as well, but I’m pretty sure it fits your requirements well, but I haven’t completely caught up in a while so I’m not sure what’s happening now. I usually don’t read villain novels but if I remember or see a novel that fits your requirements then I’ll come back here and let you know, fellow daoistMaybe you’ll like Birth of the demonic sword, but I haven’t read that in a long time so my memory is pretty vague but the mc is definitely the type to not have any morals. Personally I don’t remember whether I liked it but I didn’t dislike it so u can see through the reviews if that’s your type of novel as well Thanks a lot, I have already read those 3. Play of destiny did not suite my taste. I think the mc was not making smart decisions. I have read I Am the Fated Villain till chap 800 but I am waiting till it gets more chapters (very nice, even though sometimes it gets a bit repetitive). Birth of demonic sword was a very good one. I have tried to search for similar but they are subbar. Thanks for the reccomendations. I will not accept them without giving some of my own. I would encourage you to read https://ranobes.top/novels/1206048-the-unholy-mage.html it is superb. The author is a genius and you can understand it by chapter 50. Another good one is https://ranobes.top/novels/1206054-demon-sect-cultivation.html . I would reccomend you not to read the comments, because they can change your views subconciously (or you may focus on the bad part, because somebody mentioned it ) Cheers! Thanks man, I haven’t tried any of them so I’ll check it out soon. And don’t worry, if I find a novel you may like I’ll let you know since you already recommended me some We need more MC like Fang Yuan from Reverend Insanity There are some. Check the novels written by holyjoker. For example Naruto: Dream to immortality, Hunter x Hunter: A selfish wish. Most of his novels are at top percent. Let me know if you like them. Ok mate ... Thanks for recommendationI'll reply you in a few days I would suggest to read Naruto: Dream to immortality first. It will make more sense later on. They are kinda like a series (but not really). You can find the author on webnovel. I am literally reading Naruto: Dream to Immortality rn .... I even mentioned you there in comments lol Im blushing . Have you seen Naruto? Only then it makes sense and you truly enjoy it I have seen Naruto in 2020 ... Still my memory is fresh , it was my second Anime ( first is obviously death note ) Man , good old days when thousands of people where dying daily BCS of Covid , and everyone was literally jobless , those where the days Hahaha you lucky f#cker. My first anime was grisaia no kajitsu. I showed it to my friends and we all became anime addicts. My second was death note and then Naruto. When you finish with the novel, please do see grisaia no kajitsu. It is one of those hidden gems. If you need any anime reccomended let me know. I finished most of the anime before I came to novels . But yes... those were some nice days Do you think I can actually watch romance anime after reading novels and feel great about it .... If you think yes , please do tell me and I'll try it bro Hahahahaha, the anime that I am talking about is not romance. As I said it is a hidden gem. I would gladly rewatch it, If I could just forget the plot and everything. I got some anime that fall under the caregory of great, that even with the knowledge of novels you will still find them enjoyable. DM me when you finish the Naruto novel, and we can elaborate on the anime list. Alright brother I am a fated villain is good, he's evil but not mindlessly evil. yeah, he's just a rapist afterall -.-
