Overall 7/10 Keeping the promise from the title 11/10 Characters 6.5/10 Plot 6.5/10 Worldbuilding 4/10 Pros: - The main, if not only reason to read - it's a real villain plot of good (even if not great) quality. It's a nice change to have a proper MC like that. Never acting like a hero (sometimes pretending), evil to the bone. Doing anything if it benefits him, putting morals aside from the start to the end.- The MC is OP, but on par with a few other characters and not brute-forcing through everything. He indeed heavily depends on hit-and-run tactics, scheming, and (ab)using allies. Cons: - The world is pretty typical, without nearly any specific characteristics. MC development has some interesting turns, yet nothing really catching. - The end also cuts it in a moment when (vague to avoid spoilers) worldbuilding/some very important characters, with low screentime could start to shine. I was kind of counting on it from the start and got really disappointed in the end. - Even considering ^ - the ending seems rushed. It's okay, but could have been done with more details, and IMO - at least one more arc and/or a longer, deeper epilogue. - The characters other than MC are not very deep - a few with quite a nice idea for them, yet not deep enough to be truly satisfying.
"You have been chosen as a player in the great game to select the next god's successor, the Mission! Congratulations!" Seonghoon has suddenly fallen into another world to participate in a game to become a god. This other world that is akin to that of a game contains players who cooperate and also kill each other in cold blood...!! Seonghoon, a person without an ounce of talent, uses wicked and crude tricks to become an all-powerful player! (Source: Naver, translated)
How to Live as a Villain stands out as one of the more unique manhwas in the isekai genre. The mix of gods, quests, and a structured survival system gives the world a sense of depth that feels both exciting and dangerous. The story isn’t predictable because the main character doesn’t follow the typical “kind hero always wins” formula. Instead, he’s manipulative, cunning, and ruthless, which makes every decision feel tense and refreshing. The art style fits the darker tone perfectly. Expressions, action scenes, and the atmosphere all highlight the constant struggle for survival. Characters aren’t flawless or overpowered; they have strengths, weaknesses, and make choicesthat feel realistic in their desperate situation. This series will likely appeal to readers who are tired of overly perfect protagonists and want something darker, clever, and more strategic.
This is a story I would recommend if someone wants a villain story, and or good revenge. The character stays true to who he is from chapter 1. The last 30 or so chapters towards the ending really ties everything that happens since the beginning together. Perfect Story: 7/10 - generic but unique in it's own sense Art Style: 8/10 - nothing fancy, ifykyk ;) Characters: 7/10 - generic again, pretty generic actually but they all have there own personality Plot: 8/10 - Nothing stretched out, nor over did. Ending: 9.6/10 - Ended suddenly, character stayed true to himself Def one of my top #1 manwha's that doesn't overdo/stray from revengestories by forgiving and forgetting.
Hello. I'm here to help you to not waste your time. I'll keep it a buck fifty with you, this manhwa is fast food. If you need something to read to pass the time between the stuff you're actually excited to read updating, this is it. There are manhwa out there that are supposedly "better" than this but fail to maintain reader investment and have you going "wait a minute, I genuinely don't care" as you slowly stop reading it. This is that manhwa you either read through all at once or check in every once in a while because the world, characters and plot arethe equivalent of good background noise. Almost nobody is going to reread this and definitely nobody is rereading it twice. If you need to kill time between one good series and the next, read this, if you're looking for an excellent top tier story, kindly read something else.
