Reverse Villain

Description

Jung-woo is stuck in a reincarnation cycle along with his nemesis, Shin-Ryong. Ever since he was little, he had a dream.
He wanted to become strong enough to conquer Murim.

However, things did not always go the way he planned. Shin-Ryong defeated him on every occasion.
At this point, Ha Jung-woo had been reincarnated 5 times and was defeated yet again.

When he was reincarnated for the sixth time, he is born into the modern world.
Being born into a new world changes Jung-woo's goal, as there is no Murim in the modern world.

it was an alright read to pass the time, and some actions scenes were worth reading. It's easy to binge, so I read to the end and completed it. Ending was very rushed and abrupt, comparable to stories that were axed. Did not give any sense of satisfaction.

This is a Manhwa. At least LOOK AT THE SOURCE and the NAMES of the CHARACTERS BEFORE defiling the the comic. Jfc. Some ppl are so lame.

That being said, though, I have yet to read the comic for myself, so I'll reserve the ratings and observations until then.

PEACE.

fyi, I started picking up Korean since LAST Sept/Oct so you're not gonna get past me. Mfs

There's a reason half the comments like it and half don't.

Man where to begin with this one. I'll start out with saying that it's far from being the worst series in this category (OP protagonist) but it's also no even close to the best. The best way I could describe it is wasted potential. You have a really cool plot at the beginning and then it gets lost in back stories that are terribly fleshed out while the MC Is just so OP. You end up knowing who the characters are but not caring even alittle about them besides the MC. You go the whole series knowing he isn't gonna lose unless it's to 2 other characters. To not spoil the ending I'll just say it's terribly rushed but makes sense. On the good part it is decently translated and has good art. This series shouldn't even be close to the first OP MC series you read but once you have read most of the good ones you can read this one. It's far from unreadable but it just makes you wish it had more fleshed out characters.

Read if both apply

You like OP MC's
You are running out of OP MC's series

classic chinese garbage
the art is decent but everybody smile like a stupid dumbass "haHAha im badass" -.- cringe.
the story is a made up reincarnation, cultivation chinese-korean world with a ton of shit.
the characters.... well they all are pretty much the same "im a badass dumbass show me some face" and then they got beaten up, oh and the cringe smile yeah all of them have that.
Art 7/10 without the stupid smiles
Story 2/10
Characters 1/10

PD: the MC is lame af

I got to chapter 5 before I gave up. Things weren’t clicking for me. Like I understand the mc had been reincarnated 5 times but please a child’s body that has yet been able to produce bare minimum of muscle cannot beat up a grown ass adult. That along with the before the first fight I should understand the premise of the world. Like we were introduced rifts superpowers etc way too close to the first fight and I wasnt barely understanding shit. Like you got superpowers then you got like their fight style then you got some associates (forgot the name so i’ll just call the “Associations”) and i’m just sitting here like you expect me to understand. Another thing is It seems the world he’s in right now is a completely different set up from where he’s been for the past 5 reincarnations. So how does he get so strong as a child with no actual life experience in that world laws. Also the mc acts to cocky for my taste gives off this chunnibiyou vibe. Like there’s nothing wrong with a confident mc just that seems to be his entire personality and that’s annoying don’t be so 2D. Another thing is the expressions. Everyone seems to have the same 2 expression like please the art is good but show some range. Not everyone has to give off that psychotic power hungry grin. Also the fact that we know nothing of what the mc wants to do. Like you are in a new world your old lives left behind now and he’s just beating up people besides the guy who always tries to kill him in every life (which in my opinion is an end game arc all arcs leading up to that moment to finally beat him) there is NO PLOT. Thought this would’ve been a good one I was proven wrong disappointed:T Would give it less but the art is decent besides that little thing i mentioned earlier

This feels like what you'd get if you took every crappy popular series and had an algorithm mash them together.

The MC is meant to be overpowered but every single fight in the series progresses exactly the same way regardless of if he is fighting 6 year olds or the strongest fighters in the world.
Step 1. MC acts confident
Step 2. MC gets beat up for a few chapters. His internal monologue reveals he's shocked.
Step 3. MC says he was only pretending to get beat up
Step 4. MC wins instantly

This happens regardless of the stakes of the fight or urgency.

Beyond that, just to show how little care or thought went into this series, there's a stock 'Creepy Smile' the author applies to every single character in order to show us how badass they are. Every. Single. Character and in every single situation.

The characters are all incredibly flat and wind down to loves the MC as a lover, as a brother, as a friend or is jealous of the mc.

Overall not worth reading.

Interesting so far (chpt 77), dude is rather OP and is constantly reborn with the desire to rule the Murim...Until the world is attacked, Murim is no more, and he has a good home. Why bother to be evil, when life could be easier? Make friends, and help people. Apart from the guy who kept thwarting his plans every reincarnation... f*** him!
