Synopsis:

Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all.

But is it all just a dream?

With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by Destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him?

Author's Note:

Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either.

I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it!

Warnings:

> Incest
> Dark Elements
> Sexual Content
> Traumatising Content
> Gore
> Manipulative MC
> Sexual Abuse
> Parallel World (Almost a New World)
> Fantasy Elements (Full-fledged Fantasy later)
> System
> Slavery

      Story is good. MC is smart and not beta, will kill and use people if needed.

      Cons: MC gets his way easily and solve problems by using his future knowledge / system

      So far so good! 

      Jumped into it with a lot of expectation, and it hasn't let me down. I just hope that you will not stop writing it as I am completely hooked to it now. 

      Thanks for writing this story!

      My boy Fate new novel. 

      As such high expectations for it. Immersive plot, right degrees of drama, steamy hot scenes with one in million beauties, while somehow keeping it mature and realistic. 

      Y'all definitely need to give it a go.

      Seeing this Novwl having 80% of 5 star reviews hurts my soul, eyes and mind... When I thought that WN was site heavily random reviewed I saw this... In all honesty I was really hyped up on this story. I liked it and propably I would support it if not really heavy downfall... Start of the story is really cool, our MC is getting to know heroines generally everything is okay... But after 80 chapters when story should already started to heat up author still use casual routines to progress story in snail pace... I understand that maybe author want to build up bonds with heroines and his family but it doesn't mean that other events must be on hold? Story had 3 years time of preparations and MC goes to military God damn.. Yeah he could create his own powers, recruit his own peoples, search artifacts and he go to useless military when he is God inheritor. This doesn't make sense. He could even go in retreat and cultivate but he go waste time. And something about having connections in military doesn't make sense. From when God need military on some god forsaken world where 10% or less people are even aurors. After 2 years time skip we have even better story hahahahah. We have some info dumps and we got to know that protoganist that awakened 9 months ago Is still protected by destiny. God damn... Whole setting is too restricting and time prolonging. Story that should take up to 80 chapters have taken nearly 200. When sometimes it's good idea to add some fluffy relationship interactions in chapters 80-160 I was thinking that I read next Pokémon collecting shenhao Novel... Novel totally missed it's point. From "Villain" story we've got dating simulator with autistic Eurebus.

      Story is really well written. Author for me have a talent for setting up background for things but execution of action is totally on the ground... S*x scenes are like this too. We have good moment, atmosphere and content "he kissed her, he entered her, he treated her roughly, moans resounded in the mansion and end". Story is like those r18 scenes. We have really good events leading to something but execution is bad. Events are boring, fights are boring and non existent and even story progress is non existent.  

      To somehow end it I want to say that I really want to give it more than 2 stars but I can't. Author had ambitions from what I can see but he somehow creates too big world for his abilities. Whole idea of greek pantheon is right but idea of god inheritors running somewhere around you and only small part of people have powers is crazy... Too crazy to realize it. Whole idea of making start with few protoganists and giving them protection is next shoot in the feet. Maybe plan was good but result is not worth making thst big plans.

      Maybe I will be back someday to read 190+ but I doubt that... Author must have to learn his own power and don't go for a universe as one of first better known works. It's unreliable, stupid and confusing.

      What I like the most about this story is the simple and clear cut background of the story. The rules of cultivation and of society are simple. There's a pleasant feeling at reading something contained in an orderly setting. It makes reading the story easy and it flows nicely.

      The main reason I gave it 4 stars is that I enjoyed reading the story. However, the plot, characters and writing style isn't deep and appealing enough to me to give it 5 stars. There's also this haunting sense that there's too much repetition, an overuse of cliché and simplification of behaviour.

      Still, it fits with the classic wish-fulfilment genre so I'm not too critical. Good work.

      the story is beautiful, if you ask me if I like the story I will say in a second that I love it. The MC isn't dumb or anything, he isn't the type of villain that hate and use everything, people think that villain is a person that hates everything, but villain is a person that go against the law and things like that, he is  a villain that has emotions and act like a human, not the villains that will do anything, like kill their own family to do something, the system don't use the MC, other novels and storys make the system use the MC, make them do things that they don't want to do, make them do quests almost impossible or super hard and if they don't want to they will receive a peanulty, almost all mangas/novels/storys have that, and this system don't make the MC trash, don't force him, and give him choices, we could see when the system was back he had two quests involving amelia, one to kill her, another to conquer her, we have a good system, a good MC, a good story, a good caligraphy, story, explanation, authour, if this novel continue until he became the most powerfull or the second most powerfull behind nyx, I will love this novel, him exploring other worlds, destroying the child of destiny's life, having strong enimies, a background for all of them, their story, their POV.

      I will see this novel until its finished I really want to see the final with the MC above all gods and dominating the worlds

      Story is exceptional. It wasn't my first time reading about an antihero protagonist who needs to fight protagonist characters. This honestly looks and feels professionally done. Although there are cliché moments, it feels extremely unique.

      As a miscellaneous note: the cast is not bloated. If you're like me you occasionally stop reading when you get caught up. You wait a few months and 30 chapters are waiting for you. You go back and forget the characters names, history etc. Because the cast isn't too huge, it won't be a problem though.

      The MC is really evil. He acts in ways that hurts to watch, but he's not some edgy emo brat. As an example, there's an explicit torture scene in chapters 195-196. He's petty and vengeful, and it makes him more interesting than an overly holy and kindhearted forgiving protagonist. However he definitely does have the capacity to love even if it's a bit twisted.

      The only issues that I think he should consider rewriting and why:

      Spoiler
      • The half-sister proposal arc. It was the first time I was genuinely 100% confused. So he literally proposes a marriage with his half-sister to the other family she's related to in front of her. This isn't uncommon among elite powerful families according to the author, but it's kept hushed. Now, according to the author, his half-sister was a secret from that family, as well as his own mom, specifically because his mom would kill the child (she didn't like her husband's infidelity). So she was raised in a small family to be taken care of. In other words, if this kind of marriage is considered common among elites, wouldn't she be shocked at this proposal? She's been sheltered from it her whole life. But no, she just casually goes along with it. Nobody seems to say anything against it, despite all of them becoming aware of it.
      • The system arc. He has a valuable system which he doesn't use for 180ish chapters. I almost forgot he had one, at one point I thought the author just avoided writing conversations between the MC and the system to save time against filler chapters. But no, he spent years of this story completely ignoring a system that could have helped him many times. The MC comes off as someone who uses every possible advantage he can, so I have no idea why he just chose to ignore his most valuable resource. If he doesn't trust it, make that clear. If he's hesitant to use it, make that clear. Or if neither of those are true, give him a reason why he's not taking advantage of it or just say it was damaged and self-repairing or something. Anything is better than the current plothole.
      • The racecar arc. There were a few chapters on this one and I didn't get 90% of what was happening or what the author was talking about. It had a pretty cool conclusion to it though.

      [collapse]

      Anyway, I'm looking forward to more. 5/5, definitely recommended.

      A good relaxing story, with a strong morally grey MC, moderate amount of erotic scenes and a whole bunch of tropes mixed together in a way, that doesn't make it's predictability overly glaring, but makes it fun in general.

      The story is good. Everything's good but the glossary. At least add some description to help us remember who's who. I read multiple novel at once and often forgot who's who when I came back in a few weeks.
