Summary

A brief description of the manhwa A Villain’s Will to Survive:

The intermediate boss of the AAA-game I was developing at work is a villain who’s fated to die 999 times out of 1,000.

That very boss is now me. “I’m fated to die in almost all routes.” Deculein will die no matter what, like a villain should.

[Primary Survival Goal: Become necessary to the game.]

If I am fated to die, then I’ll just twist said fate and survive.

Read this sign with thine own eyes, but walk not unarmored through what lies ahead.

Penned by he who once wove The Novel Extra. Be thou wary, for greatness oft walks hand in hand with dread.

Im up to date (ch30) so i went to read the LN and currently im 2 or 3 ark further
So far it’s story is pretty good/OK
Just a head up (no spoiler) 90% of the main character are females (so far) if you don’t like that then it’ not going to get any better.

I don’t like to leave ratings, but this is an easy 8/10. Should definitely read.

Was curious and checked the LN, and while the start is pretty great, around the 1/3rd point follows a total nosedive.
The survival as a priority evaporates completely (even though the MC’s experiences would have taught him otherwise) and he becomes a typical shonen jump protagonist who jumps into danger at the first opportunity.
The initial drama completely ruined by re-iterating the same thing over and over later on when it was supposedly solved the first time. Not exaggerating – in the middle the novel just puts the plot on pause and does this weird telenovela nonsense for 100 chapters after which follows a really out of place ending that tries and fails to tie the hot mess together.
Maybe… MAYBE the webtoon will salvage it somehow, but to me this was a prime sunken cost trap that left me full of regret after finishing it.
Save yourself and pass this

I do reccomend reading this manhwa but….

Ugh yeah turns out everyone is right about this series ending… the manhwa will be pretty good for a good while (we all know manhwa never finish) but if you wanna continue on novel be warned its ending gets very chaotic, no real closure as it’s a pretty dragged and helpless ending, and the 3 real interests out of the entire harem all get crappy endings? (One loses memories of whole novel, one sacrificed herself after being saved, the last possible one he could end with apparently cant meet him or the world will delete him??? Literally what was he point for this one dude?) Was a great (GREAT) read until the last like 60 chapters, I could barely hang on
