*Villain and this trend is entirely because of Japanese Web Novel readers.

Japanese Web Novel sites are currently experiencing a Villain craze(along with a gaijin waifu craze) as the Villainess craze cools down since 2 years ago.

There have actually been a lot more that have been turned into Light Novels(although some won't likely be getting manga due to flopping.

And many more will soon be turned into Light Novels.

How much exactly is missing from that description?

Maybe just the main protagonists' real name?

Nah I’m talking about how villain LN/WN’s (which I consider basically shounen isekai) became popular by jumping on the villainess trend after it was already burnt out, we’re saying the same thing

It’s just kinda wild to me cuz one of the main reasons I started reading villainess stuff in the first place was cause they weren’t about cookie cutter isekai MCs, (although now the villainess trope is about as worn out) so it’s crazy that they decided to change that aspect specifically to mirror isekais. Like let’s copy this trope now that it’s worn out and we’ll make it fresh by reusing the standard isekai MC, it’s like Frankenstein’s monster lmao

This is an interesting take. It's a bit over the top, but it does seem like both personalities are merging together in some capacity (or will). Him having to forcefully fight against his original personality/body's instincts is an interesting premise.

I don't know if it was the translation or not, but it didn't read like he was isekaied/reincarnated, but the tags/latter half seem to imply he has.
