Mistakenly Saving the Villain #3
Mistakenly Saving the Villain (Novel) Vol. 3
Not yet published
Expected 30 Jun 26SOME MISTAKES ARE DESTINY
After a dramatic confrontation with An Long, Song Qingshi and Yue Wuhuan finally begin to speak openly about their feelings. Their relationship deepens—an oasis of tenderness in a world that has offered them little peace.
But shadows remain. Even with treatment, Yue Wuhuan’s illness still festers, and Song Qingshi faces his own sickness: the slow collapse of his cultivation. Worse yet, the system—the mysterious voice that first bound him to this story—is far from satisfied with his failure to save the “right” person.
As the truth behind Song Qingshi’s biggest mistake unravels, so does reality itself. Perhaps he and Yue Wuhuan are nothing more than puppets of fate, destined to be twisted and broken by the heavens. Is anything in the world strong enough to break that cycle?

well. i went from thinking misvil would be a new favorite of mine only for it to go downhill so fast.
loved the first 25% of this danmei but the time jumps and pacing and plot was something i really disliked, to the point that it overshadowed how i enjoyed the characters. misvil is not a bad novel & i see why it’s so beloved but it did not hit the mark for me 😭
the characters (specifically song qingshi) felt very ooc at times? like he was written so inconsistently while yue wuhuan was written with so much care that it has me scratching my head. i felt as the novel went on i struggled with i lost interest.
misvil definitely cemented that i perhaps need to…stay away from historical/xianxia/etc danmei for awhile because i really don’t care for them 💀 so maybe one of the reasons i just didn’t care for this danmei is because it’s my least favorite genre. time and time again i pick up historical danmei but i can name on one single hand the ones i legitimately enjoyed
i read the fan tl so that could be a another factor as to why i didn’t care for this since the translation i read felt like it was mtl rather than human translated. either way to sum up my feelings:
(do give misvil a try once it’s officially published!!!!! i’m more inclined to believe that it’s not a bad danmei at all it just didn’t work for me. the first 25% is a 5/5 while the rest was more of a 2.5/5 for me)

Review of advance copy
4.4/5 🌟
This review is going to be different from my usual ones: the ones filled with many quotes and a place where I somewhat make a tidy rambling list of the things I love and what cons I found.
I am feeling incredibly conflicted because there is so much to digest; reading this volume was so dense and heavy that it literally feels like I went through a whirlwind.
( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;)
The story starts off slow—enough that it actually drags in places. To be honest, I don't feel like the beginning contributed much to the plot; it felt more like filler. But then, we finally reach the center of the story, and everything starts to shift in such a beautiful direction. These chapters were filled with communication, sincerity, and so much consent that my heart felt full and satisfied.
(´▽`ʃƪ)♡
I knew there was an underlying sense of doom waiting to happen, but when it finally hit, it was utter chaos. \(”˚☐˚)/
The plot then takes a massive turn that flips the entire world-building and every previous character interaction upside down. I’m still struggling to get used to this new direction and, if I’m being honest, I’m a little disappointed. The foundation of communication and sincerity that was built so carefully is now lost. We are hit with a 3,000-year time skip, and everyone we knew before is gone. .·°՞(っ-ᯅ-ς)՞°·.
Then there is Wuhuan, who has become the villain-like god of this world. I am still trying to figure out if he is a completely different person. At times, I feel he is still the same lonely, scared individual who sees himself as "filthy" and is terrified of losing everything good in his life. He has gone mad from the suffering he’s endured all these years, and now that he has sought his reward for waiting, his foundation is built on muddy waters and a bed of lies. He continues to dig himself into an even bigger hole; it is frustrating and heartbreaking to watch because I know he is hurting. ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡
To make matters worse, our main character, Qingshi, now has amnesia. His cultivation has gone to shit, he no longer has a Nascent Soul, and we are stuck in a loop of wandering the Immortal Realm all over again. There doesn't seem to be a solid goal right now; everything feels messy and I don’t know how to feel about it. While I love our main couple, I’m saddened by the dismissal of the old characters and rather annoyed by the new ones being introduced. ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა
(cough cough, Jincheng)
I still have to let these feelings brew. I am deeply invested in the story, but I am beyond frustrated at the same time. I just want them to be happy! I want them to fucking communicate again, for fuck's sake! That is the only reward I am seeking right now. If I can get that back, along with a solid explanation as to who the real villain is and why the System has been behaving this way, I’ll be inexplicably happy. (ง ͠ಥ_ಥ)ง
(Please, author-nim!)
My guess is the real villain has something to do with the way these demons are being replicated over and over. The craziest thing about it all is that Wuhuan wields complete and utter power in this Immortal Realm, and yet he still cannot have what he wants most. Much like those demons, his insatiable thirst and yearning for his beloved seem just out of reach because of his 'rational' irrational decisions—causing a recursive reaction of chaos, like the heads of a Lernaean Hydra. Control is literally slipping through his fingers like water through cracks.
All of this makes me think that, just like Qingshi is playing and manipulating the System that brought him into this world, Wuhuan, too is a player to some greater power that he himself—and the reader—doesn't even know.
I’ll have to come back here after I finish the story to properly put my final thoughts into words. ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )
There is so much that I love about this story, but I definitely feel that I need to finish the rest in order to put my full thoughts together. I cried so hard with about 55-65% of the way into this volume... My heart hurts! This was insane! They didn't deserve to go through so much torment for love! .·°՞(¯□¯)՞°·.

i was really enjoying this up until a certain big reveal. i thought it was a bold move and was a good twist to the typical transmigration plot, but i just dont think it was done in a clear way. it didnt quite stick the landing. started to get really info-dumpy and i couldnt reason out why decisions were made regarding the fucking huge time jump. i think the author had no concept of how much time that really was… lmao
