The Villain’s Ending악역의 엔딩은

@ch120
It's a time loop story where the twist is that besides MC, others may also receive memory crumbs from previous loops. It's a nice, simple touch that adds "volume" to the story and makes the obsessiveness of the love interests less fallacious, as they get crazy for him while getting crazier with him.
I don't remember the exact range of chapters, but be warned - beginning is a quite heavy on the drama, maybe even excessively so.
Still, so far I found it to be pretty fun.

Its not bad nor is it good. It's just full of characters so f#cked and unstable you gotta wonder what you're reading. It doesn't stick to me in any way but the character interactions and emotions are pleasant in a way even if they're portrayed in an unrealistic and insufferable manner. World building? Non existent. Power system? Non existent. Really though, it's a drama and tragic story, that's all. Read if you're a sadist and like seeing the protagonist suffer and have the world s*it on him like he's trash even as he tries to get back up.

6.5/10

I like Estelle, gotta love a bad a*s Saintess, oh boy.

Trust me when I say this, this web novel is indeed addictive too. It's nothing special but you can't get enough of it. I may be tired of it and not like it but I find myself coming back to it for some inexplicable reason. How utterly incomprehensible.

Hojala más personas le dieran una oportunidad es realmente buena claro no es para todos y el protagonista es algo frustrante en los primeros capítulos pero realmente pasa de un tipo patético a alguien que al menos intenta arreglar las cosas a pesar de saber que va a morir

I like it. It kinda sad but i lke it. 4/5

Can someone spoil me the ending ?

This novel is extremely pathetic. Like an ex that threatens you with suicide. Love me or I ll kill myself! Love me, because you see me smoking and drinking! It is fake misery for the sake of fake misery.

If you love reading about whimpy young adult MCs who are called "this child" by their harem members, this will certainly be for your taste. A certain windbag claims otherwise, saying that it offers "emotional honesty" and that "despite MC not dying, every death matters". That's not the case. Only thing those deaths do is make academy gals pity repulsive MC slightly more. They don't have any significance otherwise. This is not a tragic story, but a great example of emotional blackmail and rage inducing utterly senseless storyline that tries and fails to be a tearjerker.

Daoist Inkdrunk's Review — The Villain’s Ending

I went into this expecting another familiar comfort read.... the kind you pick up when you want something predictable to unwind with. Instead, I found something that quietly digs in and refuses to let go.

At its core, The Villain’s Ending isn’t really about academy life, or even regression. It’s about watching someone slowly try ... and often fail... to hold themselves together.

If you’ve read Re:Zero, you might remember how Subaru feels painfully human: scared, stubborn, hopeful even when he shouldn’t be. This story takes that feeling and pushes it further. The protagonist here doesn’t fight with dramatic resolve; he moves forward with scraps of willpower, like someone who’s already exhausted but hasn’t quite given up. Where Subaru often burns bright through suffering, this MC feels like he’s surviving on embers.

Regression doesn’t function as comfort. Death still matters. Fear still lingers. The resets don’t numb him... they expose just how fragile he really is. That alone makes the story stand apart from most loop narratives, where repetition gradually erodes emotional weight. Here, every cycle feels heavier.

The novel leans heavily into psychology. Rather than chasing external victories, it explores how people repeat patterns, how they fail to change even when they want to, and how progress isn’t always upward... sometimes it’s simply continuing to exist.

The question of identity... especially with possession ....is handled with subtlety. Memories blur into emotions, reactions feel inherited yet personal, and the protagonist’s attachment to Seraphine reads less like narrative convenience and more like the natural consequence of carrying someone else’s lived experiences inside him.

Anyways...I think i read somewhere that there are two ways to read this story. One is to analyze... to look for clues, to question perspectives, to piece together meaning beneath the surface. The other is to simply sit with the characters and feel the slow accumulation of regret, longing, and fleeting warmth.

The repeated dialogue after regressions is particularly striking. Instead of feeling lazy, it reinforces the sense of being trapped in cycles.. not just of events, but of emotional responses. Certain arcs feel like emotional whiplash precisely because the story refuses to smooth over its rough edges.

Despite the heaviness, it isn’t relentlessly bleak. Moments of genuine happiness exist.... small, fragile, sometimes unexpected. They don’t erase the darkness, but they make it bearable.

This isn’t a story about becoming stronger.
It’s a story about continuing, even when strength feels absent.

Not everyone will enjoy it. But for those willing to engage with its emotional honesty, it offers something rare: a regression narrative that feels painfully, recognizably human.

— Daoist Inkdrunkwanderer,
Some endings are just quieter forms of survival.

I read the first 100 chapters.Mc is stuck in a time loop and is extremely depressed(Not in a funny way).There is no happiness in this novel so if you looking for something that makes you feel like shit, read it.
There is incest but it is properly portrayed as creepy.
From where I left off the novel just got progressively more tragic

Overall 7/10 enjoyed what I read

Useless synopsis again Fu#k 🥹

In general, it's not bad, but in short, it's glass. MC is depressed. MC complains that everything is bad and kills himself. The girls see the death and blame themselves for it. After MC's death, he returns and complains that he can't die. The girls remember their past cycles, bit by bit, with each cycle. Naturally, the girls fall in love with MC and are willing to die for him. The overall message of the story can be summarized in the sentences above. The villain's end is prostitution. I want to say that the writing is not bad, and I recommend it to glass lovers.
