The Villain's White Halo (Novel) Vol. 1

The Villain’s White Halo #1

by Hao Da Yi Juan Wei Sheng Zhi, Suika (Translator), Divetus (Translator)

One man’s attempt to become the Final Boss goes completely awry when his buff item earns him sympathy instead of fear! Up against the Hero and chased by the very company who sold him the item, can he still manage to achieve his dastardly dreams?

Yin Biyue feels scammed. After dying as a two-bit villain in a multitude of worlds, he dreamed of becoming the Final Boss in the next world he’s reborn into. Unfortunately, the malevolent Fiend Halo he purchased from the Rebirth Company seems to be malfunctioning. Instead of inspiring fear in those who inhabit his new reality, his fellow cultivators see him as…a do-gooder. And this includes the bleeding-heart protagonist, Luo Mingchuan—the very man who Yin Biyue just tried to murder!

Before Yin Biyue knows it, he’s surrounded by allies and the fallout of a misunderstanding that makes everyone in his cultivation sect think he’s the victim. How is he supposed to achieve his dastardly dreams now?! Especially when the mysteries of his forgotten past keep popping up when he least expects them.

It took a little longer to warm up to Yin Biyue than it usually does in these transmigration stories. It's partially since Yin Biyue's past lives aren't as solid as other main character's I've read with this set up, and also feeling a little unsure of the "real" Yin Biyue's past with Luo Mingchuan. I was also a little wary of the relationship because of the whole "halo" thing changing people's perceptions of him. The slow build got to me in the end though and I'm ready for volume 2.

It's fun! I like the characters, and the discrepancy between Yin Biyue's internal thoughts and the way he's perceived by those around him is hilarious. I wish there had been a bit more use of the 'white halo' but it was still very enjoyable. Also, the art is absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely devoured this. The romance is not there yet, but our ml is slowly catching feelings for our stoic but sweet mc. I love the white hair and the contest is actually pretty fun to read! I love rich boy chatterbox Duan lmao
