Starts as Survival horror: life in ancient China as an unlucky family. Later they start to improve their life in various ways. There is a minor supernatural / golden finger element to assist in survival but not as major as system or smth like that, so it mostly sticks to realism. Translation seems decent, the text has a style of describing various tragic, brutal and scary events in a casual way, can be seen as a dry and deadpan black humor. I quite liked this style and story so far (ch 166). Hard to say where it will go, as it is likely only a small part, but this beginning isn't bad.

Living as NPC into a game world plot, as beast cub trying to raise clueless NPC summoner. Many interesting characters. Has strong vibes of Legendary Mechanic. As enjoyer of this kind of thing, I like the story a lot. Translation though.... not ideal. Readable in most parts, but definitely traces of mtl. It felt like sometimes better and sometimes worse, perhaps some parts corrected and edited while others not.

There are many novels with similar tropes, but this one's good points are that it is competently written, does not drag on for too long, does not overdo annoying stuff too much (like some stories that need to do exaggerated and repetitive faceslapping for 999999 chapters), and translation is decent. What it tries to do, it does well.

Can't take this disgusting simp mc. He was bullied to suicide, but is suddenly whiteknighting and saving one of the bit**** who were bullying and despising him (ch 5). Barf.

Genre is rich lifestyle fantasy, I guess. But it felt boring, monotonous and exaggerated, buying this and that, showing off, look this is super mega rich, rinse and repeat. Interesting plot and characters felt missing, couldn't get to 100 chapter.

Not bad. There are some flaws, like the writing seemed occasionally clumsy, as if writer struggling to convey the idea, or a sentence or two is strange and the reader needs to use imagination to guess what is it supposed to mean. It's not on the level of terrible or unreadable mtl though. Later on it seemed better or maybe I just got used to it. Story is decent enough to carry it despite those flaws. R18 - at first it looked like very tame and milktoast but later the dam bursts and author proves his mettle as a man of culture heh. Lolis, bdsm, ra**, incest and mass murder there is nothing the brave mc can't do. It's story focused, but these elements are present. Qualified material for Redo of healer style anime. Worldbuilding and characters also quite interesting and fun. A decent example of "inside a videogame" / litrpg with faction building, for fans of genre who don't mind the tags and mc without scruples.

Based on reading <100 beginning chapters. Idk if it's translation or original text problem, but writing felt kinda wooden and lifeless. MC is a magical super doctor high school girl, who is also secretly a super business tycoon or smth. Normally the plot is supposed to introduce or explain reincarnation or transmigration of some immortal or smth, to explain such strange situation, but for some reason they dont even bother to explain. Ok, whatever. She is a cool aloof bigshot who does whatever she wants and says whateved she wants... except when she randomly doesn't. Doesn't like wasting time on normal people stuff and sees schooling as pointless... yet wastes time going to school. Is a magical super doctor who is treating an uncle in the hospital, but somehow misses a big brain tumor that randomly appears. A "secret medical expert that only few can know about" trope... yet has no prepared arrangements in place for anonimity when doing "doctor stuff", just openly barges in to the hospital as herself (high school girl) to do brain surgery. 

Plot seems stuffed full of contradictory, absurd and stupid  developments and tropes like that. It is not difficult to find stories doing many of these ideas much better or, at least, not as badly.

Very interesting. Not a transmigrator who gets a system, but this time one who creates a system haha. Nice worldbuilding, quite fun to read, translation seems decent.

Lots of stuff mixed in, from slice of life/ urban cultivation fantasy to full on xuanhuan later on, but was fun to read. But be warned: translation quality declines in later chapters, from decent to mtl level.

Reincarnated as xyz with a system trope stories are a dime a dozen, but this is a really well done one. Interesting world building and characters, quality of text is good with no sign of mtl level cr**. Good sh**.

Quality of translation felt poor. The writing and storytelling itself also felt somewhat poor and clumsy. Can't recommend.

It's one in the genre of villain MC hunting heroes, plundering their stuff and corrupting/NTRing the heroines. And, comparing, it is really top notch. Characters, plot, various schemes, worldbuilding, power progression systems etc, all I can think of is well done and put together. Writing/translation is satisfying as well. Nothing really to complain about other than that it's probably in beginning stages of writing. The amount written isn't exactly small, but it probably will take thousand(s) more chapters to fully flesh out what it starts. It seems actively updated, hopefully author doesn't abandon it.

There are 3 novels by author
After reincarnating, I became a second generation villain
Reincarnated as a second generation villain
Systemless Villain
With similar concepts of inside a modern cultivation novel world, various villains and protagonists battle royale. The first two feel like more poorly written, especially the beginning. They could be earlier attempts of this concept, and seem abandoned. It may be the best choice to read 3rd, Systemless Villain, as it felt like writing improved and matured a little, and it seems to be still receiving updates.

Kind of like the story, but poor translation is annoying, probably MTL. Some parts seem better, but anyway, there is a ton of mistakes that a human wouldn't make. Maybe it's some machine learning AI that's trained on space scifi, because the setting seems like 1990ish China but it's full of interstellar fantasy terms like planets(actually means towns or villages), stars or main stars(big cities/capitols), spaceships(actually means normal airplanes and ships) etc.

Sucks big time

It doesn't seem like anything special on first glance but turned out to be oddly captivating. Could be a case of just simple things done well: characters, worldbuilding, pacing, hits the spot for me. Translation is good too.

Haha I like this villain novel. It delivers on the premise of its name and description very well. Quality of text and translation is satisfactory for me. Only wish there were more chapters now.

Feels difficult and messy to read. Seems like a combination of below average translation work and the original text problems.
